Talking to Buddha as a Friend

Demigodseven

I have sat down and had a meditation sesion where I talk to Buddha as a friend. I would like to share my writing as it may inspire you all to do the same. Though writing to myself with Buddha I come to realise many things. Take it as Modern Meditation.


Thanks for your time now here is the writing. Remember this is an example of how I comunicate to my soul with Buddha:

will I ever be ready
the things around me I enjoy
an addict of life I am not
I know I have the power to tear away from impurities
something holds me back
pure my soul is
balance my actions are

something tho drives me
the power within is so amazing
I cry when I feel it course over my body
to live in harmony with love is overwhelming
the balanced center is something I enjoy
what am I suppose to do
I look within and sometimes wish I can have your advice
I know its written but so much could be obscure
you have taught me this
I have felt it in my soul

I have viewpoints of my own from my own experiences
it would be my souls desire to have sat and had a chance to share this with you
I do understand we are all one and I do learn your harmony can still be heard
it does not fall on deft ears

I cannot explain what I feel inside
what must have gone inside of your head at the moment you realized life
did you ever stop to bask in possibility
could you connect with peoples souls like I can
I have no doubt that you had this to

the noise in your head
how did you stop the pains of others from clouding your minds happiness
I have not found this yet
I find it hard to be happy with all the suffering in the world
I can only think about others pains and downfalls
I feel lucky to be where I am I do not take it for granted in thought maybe actions

When I have time to look into the void of existence I can escape in the power
how would you have applied your life in a western society of my time?
how would you have put up with the insane noise and pace of our concrete jungles??
would you have gone insane like I have loosing your harmony to this created clock of time
I know you would have dealt with the experience in a different way from me
would we have been great assets for each other???
I think our combined nature would have been great for this moment in existence

I will continue in spite of others for my own sake and well being
I have taken your words only because they make sense in my soul
I will consult myself through the feelings I get within the moment of now
for in the moment of now is where all the answers lie
no further in time or back can we ever rely
your words are a testimate of the now not the then for we all exist as one
you still exist as we all do to
nothing stops
for this I have a feeling
no measurement of time can equal the now
for the now is always now

What soul?

Simonthepilgrim

Sri Ramana Maharshi said, over and over, that the only question worth asking is "Who am I?"

This meditation was a great support and comfort to me, with its ultimate reply Tat Tvam Asi, when I was facing my own death.

Only later did I begin to ask "Who is asking 'who am I?'?"

to brigid when I say soul I am refering to my pure energy, my aura, my spirit, etc. The are all the same. I have studied many things and may throw a term that means the same thing. I will be more secific to the "buddist" terms as this is a site about the Buddhist faith.

Simonthepilgrim I like to think of it as we are the ones asking those questions all the time. Out mind, spirit(soul, energy, aura), and body all fail to work as one all the time. When we meditiate all three work together and we become balance...out energies flow in sync...its all to easy to use more of your mind and deter from your energy. So we are the ones always asking these questions it just seems like there is more than on of us.
