From Limited Mind and Body to Our True (No) Self

Abstract: All ancient masters from the past, tread on this specific style of path called "Bodhisattva's". Their first and foremost duty was to uncover their own inner light, and then bring this light unto others, awakening and benefitting countless sentient beings. Although the bodhisattva path is not so popular, nor openly discussed/expounded in main-stream Abrahamic traditions, ancient masters from all religious faiths were essentially the bodhisattvas. Even though they had different trajectories and unique stories unfolding around them, all masters had arrived to their final realization and found their unity under the supreme creator. And they were all great meditators too. Whichever the major spiritual path we take, the evolutionary steps of our human consciousness along each path has similar and almost identical meditative states. However the divine messages that we receive through these different states are unique to that particular trajectory. In other words, the m...

Abstract: In many religious traditions, scripts, we often hear about various kinds of non-physical beings. They are from both lower and higher dimensions. Beings from lower dimensions are typically labeled as dark beings who may appear before the bodhisattva as obstacles, to disturb his meditation. Many practitioners nowadays believe that these are just merely stories, mind made and mythical, but to the one who progressed through bodhisattva path, these obstacles have to be faced.

This article brings forth the author's experiential insights on this matter.      We say that, the bodhisattva's service is both worldly and non-worldly. In non-worldly aspect, the adept has to accept things he does not like, things he did not imagine to exist. Especially ...

Abstract: Most Abrahamic and Indian traditions emphasize realizing the "Self" nature of the individual. On the contrary, Buddhism thrives to realize "No-Self" nature. They seem to be contradictory in their definitions and names. But we learnt that we share the same human body, mind and energy system despite the religious background we come from. Then there should not be two types of liberations, and this article brings some light and wisdom by demystifying these concepts, that clears up the confusion.     Gautham Buddha's teaching has flourished throughout the Asia, reaching out to the lands of far east. Some people even fight over the birthplace of Buddha, proclaiming he was originally from their home countries (i.e. Sri Lanka and Iran) even by presenting historical accounts and archeological evidences. However Buddha's main teaching is to let him born within ourselves, turning our hearts to be the ground where a lotus can bloom. Turning our gross minds to...
