[17:24] nothing lasting. but ever changing
[17:24] dont ever insult the buddha
[17:24] nothing wrong i love coca cola
[17:24] namo coca cola
[17:24] lolx\

[17:26] Thusness: that question of urs leads to the teaching of no soul and self
[17:26] indeed.

[17:27] All exhitbit these characteristics and must be thoroughly understood.
[17:27] when we say 'success', how do we view 'success'?
[17:27] same thing as perceptions
[17:27] when we say 'fear', how do we view 'fear'?
[17:28] arising and falling nothing permanent and everlasting
[17:28] all are ever unsatisfactory
[17:28] all 'things' whenever mental or forms are but the appearance of cause, conditions and changes from moment to moment without a 'self'.
[17:29] well said
[17:29] that why i wonder why some believe buddha still exist after parinibbana when he does not have a self
[17:29] for he cannot be term as exist or not in terms of nama and rupa
[17:29] neither did he existed when he lived
[17:29] ay i gto mix up rupa is matter
[17:29] nama is consci
[17:29] from the tick of a thought moment to the entire political and economics of a country, nothing doesn't exhitbit this truth.
[17:30] lol
[17:30] nevermind
[17:30] so true but for satisfying this untame mind who loves reading newspaper and forums
[17:30] sink deep into the deepest level of our own mind so that we may enter into the stream.

[17:31] the arisnig of this moment is subtle. Not to over look it. Let's be mindful.
[17:31] just one good question on such experience
[17:31] * SkirtyGa| has quit IRC (Ping timeout for SkirtyGa|[cm156.omega21.maxonline.com.sg]�)
[17:31] after meditating for long hrs
[17:32] i have experience of not sensing anything
[17:32] what is the object of meditation in such subtle thoughts
[17:32] so what if things dont exist inherently, things still happen
[17:32] breathe no longer exist

[17:32] u are able to type such comments i believe u meditate often as well
[17:32] frankly there is no purpose, meaning whatsoever. It is the 'self' that needs these.
[17:33] oic
[17:33] to know, we have to see things in obviousness and nakeness and enter into the world that is untouched by thoughts.
[17:34] nub: its not say it do not exist. its in a temp stage. say it does not exist is wrong
[17:34] all reasoning will dissolve in light of Pure Awareness.

[17:35] in real subtle stage of thoughts, i do not understand if i am still aware a not. for object of observing no longer seems around anymore
[17:35] in taht stage we observe what
[17:35] nothing. Stay in that stillness.
[17:36] in that stillness, it is entire. First enters the world of wordlessness
[17:36] sense everything without naming, labeling and thinking.
[17:37] * Ah^pek is now known as hUnGrY^pe
[17:37] * hUnGrY^pe is now known as hUnGrYpeK
[17:37] before entering into pure sensing wihtout an object of observation.
[17:37] when there is still a trace of a 'self', we will not be used to it.
[17:37] do buddhists use vulgar lang??? im really angry
[17:37] raspberry: there are some not so adv one still do
[17:37] * Looking up raspberry user info...
[17:38] raspberry: even monks commits mistake more so common buddhist.
[17:38] the 'self' must live in either beliefs, thoughts, names, labelling. Otherewise there is no room for it to even exist.

[17:38] nice chat.

[17:38] those who want to use vulgar lang shldnt even come here
[17:38] * Thusness returns to silence
