No i don’t let sciences distract me as for the Path for Nibanna…my first aim is simply to live a more peaceful, insightful and under-control-life…as for Nibanna… it will be attained by this “current of life” in its next rebirths. Hopefully.
Interesting. some LHP esoteric circles call the intergalatic void plus the black holes ” The Dragon” / Tiamat or original Chaos as an alive force.
Hi all
@Christian : i’ll consult it still today no doubt.@Upekkha : such a vast and varied info…will not miss the Youtube videos.
@Lal : faith AND insight or just faith ? Because i know alot of people that have faith in the Buddha but as for dhamma-insight ….i’ve my doubts…
@Siebe: yes that’s the “philosophical” perspective wich is equally valuable, indeed. Mara’s domain : the whole Cosmos?
thanks to all
Very interesting but how can one effectively manage this in one’s daily life right now right here to evolve within Dhamma?
“It is not the eye nor the form that gives rise to…etc” Indeed that which gives rise to the seeing consciousness (as per pure dhamma logic) would be the gandhaba which includes the aggregates…
Hi Johnny
However you seem to equate :
– a) getting an high degree of absorption ( 4the Jhana, 5tha Jhana and above ?) through singlepointed focus on a support like breathing (or other) to
b) “to believe” in a self …but in fact a) and b) doesn’t have to be connected.
Why would the attaining of the Jhanas through focusing on a concept be incompatible with attaining the Jhanas through breathing or any other kasina ? Both can be practiced and are complementary, now the only question remaining unanswered might be : which of the two is more effective in terms of “triggering” abhinna powers? Or putting it differently : how can “mere” contemplation/bhavana trigger “paranormal”/abhinna powers as the ones of the Buddha ?Hello
I’m surprised that you posted what you posted under the meditation label. Unless this school here equates bhavana (contemplation) to meditation. Personally i equate Dhyana/Jhana to meditative absorption through singlepointed focus on a concept (arya jhana) or through a kasina object which understands breathing too, and then it’s called anarya jhana because it doesn’t implie (apparently at least) objective insight. This said it’s an interesting contemplation yours.
