Cutting roots.
to truly have non-attachment so that we don’t suffer, we must overhaul one’s operating system (OS)
There is no second way.
If ur OS is dualistic and Inherent (separate, solid, real),
The algorithm with produce craving and aversion, because there is a real you and real others..
Automatically there will be suffering.
If u reprogram ur OS to a better one, which is non-dual and illusory,
or no-self and emptiness…
The OS cannot attach,
The algorithm just cannot push or pull anything.
Downstream, it’s impossible to produce suffering.
If the OS is stabilise by practice and not buggy,
It is a powerful OS.
Better than anything in the world.
If u r lazy like me, don’t like to do much work but only the most important one,
U need to Upgrade ur OS quickly.
While in the process of upgrading,
Take care of actions speech and thoughts because any negative karma will slow down the upgrading process,
Or even deter it if one go to lower realms,
Upgrading work harder there. Almost impossible.
The Buddhas teaching is so elegant if u can understand.
It doesn’t mess about.
Faster solve main problems first before life ends.
But How many will dare or be determined enough to overhaul the whole virus infested OS?
~ TRUTH IS SEEKING TRUTH ~
There is something urging you to look deeper, something which seeks to be known. Don't you see it yet? Isn't it clear yet? You are sitting here because you cannot help but seek truth. The genuine seeks to know itself. Truth is seeking truth.
That is why you are here, putting your heart and soul into meditation. Your time of awakening will come. No one is hopeless. Life is not mean. No one is left out. There is no one who is more or less Buddha than any other. True nature is never lost, never hidden from you. It only seems that you have to go looking for it.
But you have had long lifetimes of fooling yourself, protecting self-cherishing. When you come to life again, to awakening, it will be so clear that there is no ‘self' and no ‘other'. There is no opposition; there is just this one reality. What appears as opposition is simply the result of a self-centred view, which is of course an incorrect view.
This bad habit and wrong view causes untold suffering for yourself and others. And you will continue to create suffering as you go on living in falsehood. You will continue to experience suffering, fear, a sense of lack, and you will not be helping anybody.
~ Harada Tangen Roshi
With wisdom, one can see suchness.
It is not that anything changed, Everything is as it is.
It is just the
1) direction of perception is gone
So every single ”particle” is perceived directly, by itself
And
2) the depth of perception drops deeper
Rather than hovering at the conceptual layer, perceiving drops deeper beyond that “thing” itself. Beyond “thing-ness”. Deep down into emptiness.
WIth this deeper drop, one find that there’s no more boundaries between “things”. Hence there is no more “things”.
Just this. Just suchness. A manifestation of a coalesces of clarity and formlessness.
The deeper one go,
The simpler perception becomes.
Hence it is a deepening, untangling.
If there’s no such radical transformation,
One is still mired in delusion,
And shouldn’t claim “great perfection”. Really.
