However, in Buddhism we do not see arising without causes and conditions. <br /><br />Non-dual Awareness does not mean a lack of discernment of the causes and conditions of arising.Sohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416159880942160813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225985453951330898.post-86736674219692433102009-05-14T23:51:00.000+08:002009-05-14T23:51:00.000+08:00It's only the personal mind that is interested in ...It's only the personal mind that is interested in explaining and formulating the natural state.<br /><br />Nothing is wrong with that. When condition is right, that immediate being of the natural state happens on its own. If the condition does not aggregate, individual effort or practice amounts to nothing.<br /><br />The realization that dawns for this mental construct called Michael is that even though Awakening is always here, it's not caused by any individual effort.<br /><br />The natural way of realization happens, then the individual might come back and try to report that arising by describing the cause of that Awakening... <br /><br />There is a thin line between shine as One's own nature or propagate further confusion and suffering. Ultimately, what IS, IS... Only the personal mind has a problem and argue with what IS.<br /><br />PS I'm not a buddhist. The Truth however should transcend all religion or even words. Whether the message is heard or not, it's perfect as it is.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249212008513395244noreply@blogger.com
