I do joke if you mean I am immature though often in bad taste... Nevertheless I am also serious in my discussions.Originally posted by Cenarious:I think I am more mature than you. -
When we have an initial taste of our luminous nature, we will want to zoom into the minutest detail of the moment.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Here are some meditation advises which I found useful, by Dharma Dan:
If you can perceive one sensation per second, try for two. If you can perceive two unique sensations per second, try to perceive four. Keep increasing your perceptual threshold in this way until the illusion of continuity that binds you on the wheel of suffering shatters.
Next, 'sensation' is just a word. Do realise that when it is experienced in bare, it is free from all definitions and its imprint and it conveys the luminous-empty naure. The moment subsides instantly as it arises and apart from this, there is no-self to be found anywhere.
When the gap is gone, there is no image. That is experiencing impermanence without images, without a layer of symbols. Just impermance alone and nothing else. It is like the first phase of experiencing "I AM", just "I AM" and nothing else. Here, it is just impermanence, clearly and acurately. Nothing else.
In short, when doing insight practices, constantly work to perceive sensations arise and pass as quickly and accurately as you possibly can. With the spirit of a racecar driver who is constantly aware of how fast the car can go and still stay on the track, you are strongly advised to stay on the cutting edge of your ability to see the impermanence of sensations quickly and accurately. -
Oh I see.. thanks

Maybe I was wrong. This video is interesting, it shows how Descartes's original message was totally distorted.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Descarte: "I think, therefore I am."
Lord Buddha: "No you don't, and no you're not."
- some e-sangha forummer
It should be more like, I am, therefore I think

Example One: You badgering for others to show proof when it was shown and it was seen and commented.Originally posted by Cenarious:Vicious kitty, now you can tell me about my immaturity.
Example Two: You refusing to accept defeat and choose to win by trying to be upright and stubborn. You choose to win in other ways, to best someone, instead of besting your own self.
Example Three: You are wrapped around your own ideas and your idea of wining and not understanding the other's wishes to have a happy carefree exchanges on forum.
Example Four: Not setting your time limit and pushing others to accept your time limit and your reasonings...that is until you win.
Example Five: Asking questions instead of facing up. Its easy to hide behind a monitor to call names. How much would you face up to a person to trash things out face to face? -

You think.Originally posted by Cenarious:I think I am more mature than you.
I think.
How many of us confirm that? -
Well that was a retort at someone who posted that he thinks I am immature, without evidence also.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:You think.
I think.
How many of us confirm that?
Remember that buddhism is about unveiling illusions layer by layer, by examing things in detail? -

If you really want them. Call me.

I dont entertain ridiculing anyone too deep in public. -

I do not speak well in person. I think I have anxiety disorders of some sort.
So go on, go as deep as you want. I don't mind. -

Accept that everyone of us is immature. You included. -
Yes that's what I mean. I was thinking more in terms of being less mature than the average person, something that urgently needs to be changed.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Then learn to stop your seeking to be verified as matured.

Do read slowly instead of anxiously so you can understand.
Otherwise, call me. My numbers are stated.
In other words. If you still cannot understand, maybe you need to shelve whatever you are thinking now and read more buddhism verses.
