Buddha-Basics (Part II) — Noble Truths

Hi Eric,

Of course, a major aspect of our Practice is then figuring out how to live this life fitting that all together at once, as one!

It is like my friend who was sick ... she accepted fully the disease, even the possibility of her own upcoming death ...

... even as part of her was (naturally) afraid, uncomfortable, and taking her medicine aiming for a cure each day.

All at once.

Thank you!

Thank you Jundo. This is a very clear and direct presentation.

It's great how these talks pop up and always seem to be right when needed. Thanks David!

Sometimes I wish our brains were hardwired with a little more natural tendency to be content and accept what is, rather than having to be trained continually to stop grasping. But then, that's even more wishing and non-accepting.

Hello,

Apparently, as the brain is the most complex *blah, blah, blah* it forgets nothing (mostly).

The present is holding the newborn.

It's eternal.

It's happening now.

It's always.

I guess I never really understood just how hard I have been fighting the world...and life in general. I have a lot of work to do. Thank you!

What you say is so, Nigel. There are absolutely no absolutes in this world, and we are just present in this moment as it is. Were there no "you" to pick and choose, one could not live in this relative world.

And yet ... there is the Absolute, Buddha, Big Mind (names do not matter here) whereby there is Absolutely no "you" "no world", no present or future, no black vs. white, and just the lovely Mix, the blowing of a Great Wind. No conflict in Suchness even in need of accepting.

By the Noble Path, one may come to realize that there is no contradiction there. And in such way, we Bodhisattvas live Wholeheartedly Wholeness in each and every Momentless Moment for the benefit of all.

Gassho, J

Thank You Jundo .
