in my bodhi i develop self effort. my mantra, mental note is motivational love. the effort for self care and others. my attitude with heart, we can get things done.
to perfect our bodhi we meditate. those new to meditation go slow. depending on your school of buddhism make it a daily practice.
you can try my brand of meditation. now the therazen approach i us 6 to 8 mind proecess, effort, mindfulness/awareness and concentration. i use the breath as focus. i just feel deeply on the breath. shift awareness to breath only. when i started meditation my mind would wander. but witheffort and breath awareness the mind becomes focus/concentrated. just keep at it and return to breath.
now my daozen meditation which it feel no meditation at all. i can just be and do at will. years of practice made my meditation perceptly without much effort to it. i just breath normallity. but my bodhi mind body is at ease. its just natural samatha state or tranquil rest state. with natural will now i can manage the 6 sense organ. i can rest or engage them.
so my morning meditation routine. i sit on my cusion bedroom. in zen we let all the senses be as if you are one with all the senses. all seeing hearing be. in my zen state. the be state just is aware and natural bright mind feeling. now i can rule my mind not let mind/undisipline mind rule me. hense make it true what buddha said with our mind we create the world.
my zen meditation be u and do, just sit. but those interested in the zen traidition should do their tradition. my zen is not sanction by their lineage. but it suites me. its simple and
in my daozen meditate on emptiness is form and form is emptyness its getting there to pentertate its nature. daozen practice is my thrid year of practice. but thera practice for 15 plus years still guide im therazen. im experiment e states if it align with zen to penerate the heart suttra. enter/meditate, empathize/relate be enlighten/realize this bodhi state. i will see. daozen will be my main be and do state going foward
big topic. what has help my bodhi in dao zen is accept things as they are. the three marks of reality has helped. the three marks are, change, imperminence, and aware two truth self/nonself. in my zen try to feel experientially this truths to penentrate my mind.
then develop a personal wisdom perspective out of these observation. change is inevitable, so in zen go with it. my mantra, chop wood and go with the season helps me calm. my dao adapt like water go around things. imperminence, in zen acceptance. all is change and not lasting. daozen imperminance is like chapters in our life. allow us to turn the page and an oppertuinty to be and go whats next.and self and nonself is to make this awareness in the middle of these two states. zen it is one coin with two side.
find wisdom were you can find it. the buddhas wisdom. less ego more be selfless. you are aware yes ego/self but moderate in its trapping of stress 3 poison of ego extreame. to wisely manage a healthy ego/self. wise middle not sway by it extreame. not extreame in attraction/greed...hatred/aversion...ignorance/delusion ego self state.
to help our bodhi wisdom is to develop wise instinct. in my daozen i try to sense/vibe a person or situtation tha align my 3 mantra for self and other, be safe be smart and be well. its getting better this is our bodhi discernment development. we viscerally know in us to be wise who to avoid or step out a situation.
share my personal wisdom, be yourself with self respect. dont compare yourself to others. awre to each his own. and live within your own means.
live simply. live peacefully with your self and others. go and adapt to 3 features of reality. and develop wise karma by doing good to neutral karma and limit bad karma.
karma is a lifelong work in process and as we learn and grow in karma it gets better in being safe,smart and well
so those are the 6 perfections we develop on the bodhisattva path or bodhi development.
back to the song, good intention. it is a bodhisattva song. yes a boddhi wants to feel this way, feel the same. in the path, our headspace has so much going on. and being new to the buddha way path some things in our headspace we dont want to mention. and this brain dont know how to manage it that the senses require our attention. but the heart of bodhi desire to be a good person with good intention is a start to take hold our brain and develop effort awareness and concentrative disipline we can rule our mind and not let the mind rule us out of impulses.
we can manage our headspace by takeing a deep breath and look at our life and make little correction in our mind and make a world that better suites us to be and do in the world
our brain has a wonderful rational and emotional side when made whole we can feel the world that is outside of us and the world in us.
with peace/stable mind and love/compassion in us we can share that to others making this place a more pleasent living experience for all. salvation is in us all, with wisdom and compassion we can save ourself from our conditioning iinto a more clear headed person what the buddha call the dharma the law of things. as we grow and learn the law of nature the more accepting this law of life. leading to a more understanding mind and you final get som fun to make it your own in how you be and do things in your own lifestyle. so lifestyle on. i like to see how others be and do things. it helps my bodhi learn and grow too.
in summary how we manage our headspace. in daozen we operate our mind normally. we let rational thinking be. we let thoughts come and goes. we respond to our emotional states with care. we accept them as feeling tones like thoughts come and goes. we cling not to name and form. through meditative practice we observe thoughts and feelings have a cyclical cycle with a birth and death like reincarnation process.knowing throughts and feelings are imperminent the mind can be aware they are fundamentaly empty we can manage the brain in a non attach way. with a thought or feeling we can see it a tempory gift and use it temporary. so how we handle this gift of brain is up to us. we can us it in a positive or negative way. with our collective thoughts and feelings we can shape our life. hense use this gift of mind in a more wise way.
how we give our headspace a break. no mind. rest though breath. zen it is empty mind. the rest in its active brain process. with practice the brain can rest thoughts and feelings through equimity and gradulal rest. so samatha practice aide rest. or aware there is a rest in motion. you go with thoughts and feelings in an empty mind state. just know and let brain function normally. but this is mastering with our mind we make the world. we direct the brain what it want to be and do. or relax the brain body by doing restful activity a nap or just un wind by just be the senses like just seeing organ in watching a movie or play a game.
now we talk about sense, now sillyability. i will touch daozen effortless effort phenomenon.
with years in your belt you will experience what dao call in the zone. your be and do is so one that your ability seems effortless. as if your brain body is in perfect action. yes in my daozen i can be in the zone any time i want to. its just silly to be i can be the dao/zen. i can switch and be with the flow state whether driving or raking the leaves.
but people can experience this. it really logical. with practice and years it becomes an ease in your be and do. so expert about it that it ennature you. henze daozen the qoal is restful action.
before i go do my retreat noble silent search for peace and love i want to add anotation/footnotes to help myself and you in our quest to dissmantle the samsara cycle of attraction and aversion fuel by ignorance. if we can dismanle this nirvana can awake us.
so ty for listening my attempt to change samsara into nirvana ...this lasting peace,love throgh wisdom
i had an insight, middle way of duality in dao sign can help us be free from habit energy of likes and dislikes.
its a fact, the brain is 50/50 in ignorance/knowledge. we have to put effort to recall a thing. so one of the buddhist observation if effort is not use we will live in the 50/50 state of ingnorance and knowledge.
ignorance is why the enlighten state is necessary to awaken the brain to cognize the reality of samsara.
ignorance fuel the brain habit of like and hate patterns in our mind body complexes.
chart--> love<--->ignorance/knowledge<--->hate
tommorrow the middle way approch to our headspace
mind u-u mind is key to the buddha way
hopefully this approach is to understand my e state approach...
the 50/50 brain process our likes and our dislikes.in terms of buddhism habit energy governs our actions from a series of a set repitision. the brain forms habit in our likes and dislikes. from the buddha's perspective this habit brain energy fuels desire in potentual action/karma . but the desire is samsara's trapping. and buddha knew this desire forms a polarity of attraction and aversion process by the 50/50 brain of ignorence and knowledge.
the buddha way is to extinguse desire. a bodhi advise is be smart with desire.
desire is not the problem, the problem is extreme desire
the buddha's observation with desire. unhealthy desire keeps the brain body in a repetition cycle in samsara. habit energy keeps the brain in a state of inconstancy. kind of like the saying, doing the same thing hoping for different results...the definition of insanity.
but there's hope. to be enlighten and taste nirvana and the brain habit energy of bodhi in its brightest state, fully enlighten.
the buddha point out the brain unsatisfactory state in stress/dukkha. not getting your wants is stress/dukkha. getting something you dont want is stess/dukkha.
now the middle way to end samsara brain inconstancy tommorrow.
natural jhana. the buddha recall in his youth he was sitting during harvest season. he was it a state of no thought and thought. the jhana meditative absorbtion was free and absent of brain discursion. this middlw way mind was at ease and blissful.
after failing his extreame ascetism he realise the middle way for the mind body complex.
he learn the middle way to avoid the extreame duality/polarity of karma/action.
avoid extreame denial and avoid extreame indulgence. be center/middle way to ease stress/dukkha.
the first feature in samsara is change/imperminence
the samsara brain reacts to change. in buddhism we train our brain to respond.
here is an example practice of my e buddhist approach.
we use the concept middle way equimity. let change come and go while addapting to it
chart: empathy<-->enter-nity<-->enlightenment
enter the space of equimity.
empathize to the state of equimity
recieve the enlighten state of eqimity
in time refine your nature of equimity
hopefully equimity becomes a bodhi state tool to respond to change with peace and love based on wise bodhi
samsara features--the three mark of reality--view as dharma/law of samstates.
our reality is govern by 3 law....change/imperminence, stress/dukkha and emptyness of inherent nature.
so samsara is govern by these law what hindu buddhist call dharma.
as a budhist we attempt to wake up this reality. and live wisely to these laws.
hense samsara is our teacher. the middle way technigue guides our brainstates to know the laws and align our brainstates to this laws to be centered and moderate in how we manage these laws in our life.
@paulysotoo said:
introduce my e states into e buddhism
the first feature in samsara is change/imperminence
another buddhist technique to wake up our brain to the law of change is insight meditation.
chart;empathy to body process <--enter vipassana--insight-->enlighten experience
1.choose a sense organ like the eyes conciousness
2 enter the technique of being aware of eye conciousness
chose a sense object. i,e photos of you from young to now
3. connect/empathetic resonnance to change.
4. be enlighten/ train the aware mind all is subject to change
another bodhi tool to lessen ignorance and stenghten awareness to the law of change in you and out of you.
the next is the krux of the matter.the samsara law of stress/dukkha. because of change our brain regulate stress level from mild to severe in our brain chemesty as it react to change and condition habits to lessen stress.
the number one why we suffer in our 50/50 brain we are attach to the self/soul. attached to our emotional and rational responses to the changes in and outside of us.
but buddha wanted you to wake up to you are not your body, you are not you i. he introduce notself to dismantle the ego/personna that cause our needless suffering.
tommorrow middle ways to awaken to no self in "self"
chart: likes<-->brain(ignorance/knowledge)<--> hate
brain operating system response to sense pleasure/displeasure
proper knowledge to brain function helps lessen ignorance. we buddhist thank shakimoon of knowing the law and expound the law of stress/dukkha in us.
the practice of the 4 noble truth and 8 fold process helps our brain to be more informed before.
so as a buddhist practice reflect the noble law of stress and its cessation. doing so help brain to be less caught off guard to the law of change and importantly stress.
1 enter noble truth
2empathis your life of the noble truth
3 be enlighten stress/suffering does happen.
middle way to sense pleasure likes and displeasure hates
see the brain as an aggregate. a collection of sense organ in contact to sense object forming sense conscious shaping attraction and aversion states of mind producing.
next the middle way to mind states. equimity and aware your brain states
next neautralize your preference to like and hate through awareness.
the goal non attachment to the sense of like and dislike. in a sense, be equal minded to not affect your brain states.
1 enter the knowledge to the law of no self
2empathise the buddha's insight to noself
be enlighten in you of noself
we all experience to no self phenomenal. for example in effortless effort in dao, we are so engrosss in what we are doing we are the doing with no time and no self.
e-motion of love leads to stress. hatred leads to stress. the key extreame attachment leads to stress/suffering. losing love ones in conjuction to the law of change evokes stress/sorrow/suffering. extreame hatred like racism causes stress/suffering to u and others.
middle way love without clinging. middle way towards racism is live and let live be aware karma returns to sender.
samatha meditation in the e buddhist technique,enter samatha, connect with samatha and be bodhi enlighten lessen stress/dukkaha and more bodhi clarity to be less attach to our brain likes and dislikes/
be inform you are the phenomenon of dharma-agregate process and govern by laws of conditionalty and knowing leads see no unchanging self--inherent nature--is not there. being not there zen forget the illusary self
suffering when bodhi ripe taste nirvana. nirvana=emptyness the third feature of samsara. samsara is us. and nirvana is us. law of change and truly no self doesnt suffer is in nirvana...sunyata
you see samsara is a kind teacher. it helps our minds eye to see the dao duality as a whole is the whole of us.
thus nirvana is in samsara
ok time for my 5 years retreat. i enjoy buddhist thought and willing to learns other peoples practice/insight. visit here still.
well, in this life for me its nirvana or bust.
the heart suttra points to daozen
be familiar with it
the message of heart suttra live free--nonself--and live wisely be and do your dharma
my gnosis thought,
nirvana is an absence of the hinderance of ignorance, greed hatred in thera tradition
in mahana tradition emptiness in form
in my daozen its rest in motion the karma of emptyness in form
so dao yin/yang imo is the whole sign of samsara/nirvana
ok i given up my five year retreat and just be do my doggy way.
once you know to build a raft you can go to any shore. buddhism is a wonderful tool;
as buddha would say come and see in how built a raft school. i feel this deliverence of the heart, free to be.
You may not have dominance over thousands of other people.
But you have absolute dominance over yourself.
Only you can choose empathy, honesty, courtesy, morality.
You and you alone can choose your path, to overcome or to succumb.
Only you can choose to take the next step along your path,
or to stop, to turn around and never see what treasures abound ahead.
You are the voyager and you determine your voyage.
But you need not travel alone.

samsara defined
change/imperminance is observable in samsara
stress/dukkha is the samsara reaction to change in brain states or unsatisfactory result to likes and dislikes
emptyness is the way to ease of nirvanna
nirvana defined like the finger pointing the pink moon in spring.
the buddha defined the absence of fuel or extinguish the habit energy of action in the object. like a candle burning the thread wax.
nirvana is the product/result of extinguise the fuel of extreame desire polarity in the brain habit karma states

another bodhi tool to lessen ignorance and stenghten awareness to the law of change in you and out of you.
bodhi defined
it is the conscious heart-brain process of the enlighten state of being aware and knowing the congnition to life/laws
the next is the krux of the matter.the samsara law of stress/dukkha. because of change our brain regulate stress level from mild to severe in our brain chemesty as it react to change and condition habits to lessen stress.
the number one why we suffer in our 50/50 brain we are attach to the self/soul. attached to our emotional and rational responses to the changes in and outside of us.
but buddha wanted you to wake up to you are not your body, you are not you i. he introduce notself to dismantle the ego/personna that cause our needless suffering.

human context the buddha adress
e-motion of love leads to stress. hatred leads to stress. the key extreame attachment leads to stress/suffering. losing love ones in conjuction to the law of change evokes stress/sorrow/suffering. extreame hatred like racism causes stress/suffering to u and others.
middle way love without clinging. middle way towards racism is live and let live be aware karma returns to sender.
the art of calm abiding
samatha meditation in the e buddhist technique,enter samatha, connect with samatha and be bodhi enlighten lessen stress/dukkaha and more bodhi clarity to be less attach to our brain likes and dislikes/
the zen way
know the self to forget the self.
be inform you are the phenomenon of dharma-agregate process and govern by laws of conditionalty and knowing leads see no unchanging self--inherent nature--is not there. being not there zen forget the illusary self
zen be and do
sit and let the law of samsara in and out of you be inform you. sit and let the sense organ with object awake the brain to life reality.
in zen it is the art of be aware be awake to the dharma/laws.
zen satori is samsara.this samsarra is your nirvanva. your awaken nature in be and do.
the art of noself like dao. just be just do with the law of life,change,no self, and emptyness
suffering when bodhi ripe taste nirvana. nirvana=emptyness the third feature of samsara. samsara is us. and nirvana is us. law of change and truly no self doesnt suffer is in nirvana...sunyata
you see samsara is a kind teacher. it helps our minds eye to see the dao duality as a whole is the whole of us.
thus nirvana is in samsara

@lobster
my hallmark, nirvana song.....see if i experience the adjective of "dead and gone"....nirvana with remainder..hence empty in form
[
my bodhi gnosis knows.....before awake cop wood after awake chop wood....we will see like the nirvana band album nirvana is nevermind?
my gnosis thought,
nirvana is an absence of the hinderance of ignorance, greed hatred in thera tradition
in mahana tradition emptiness in form
in my daozen its rest in motion the karma of emptyness in form
so dao yin/yang imo is the whole sign of samsara/nirvana
ok i given up my five year retreat and just be do my doggy way.
once you know to build a raft you can go to any shore. buddhism is a wonderful tool;

one thing i will say, you have a greatfull heart a ty to dao and buddhism for teaching us samsara/nirvanna
its ordinary/awake
might not be satifactory to some hence funny. funny how buddha mind was given to you from birth.
You may not have dominance over thousands of other people.
But you have absolute dominance over yourself.
Only you can choose empathy, honesty, courtesy, morality.
You and you alone can choose your path, to overcome or to succumb.
Only you can choose to take the next step along your path,
or to stop, to turn around and never see what treasures abound ahead.
You are the voyager and you determine your voyage.
But you need not travel alone.
Peace to all
