Where is the self located? - is it the body? - is it the mind? - is it both, being two things? - is it neither, being none? - can it be found? Realest answer would be pointing to body :-) SOURCE: Postrzeganie jest błędne

Wszystkie istoty są szczęśliwe, Problemy przesłaniają im to wrodzone szczęście. SOURCE: Nirvana - Heart shaped box

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions. If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it’s the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past When conditions change, it ends. People of this world are deluded. They’re always longing for something-always, in a word, seeking. But the wise wake up. They choose reason over custom. All phenomena are empty. They contain nothing worth desiring. To dwell in the three realms is to dwell in a burning house. SOURCE: - Zen Teachings of Bodhidharma - Tom Jones & The Cardigans - Burning Down The House

There’s no advantage in deceiving yourself. Even if you have mountains of jewels and as many servants as there are grains of sand along the Ganges, you see them when your eyes are open. But what about when your eyes are shut? You should realize then that everything you see is like a dream or illusion. SOURCE: Zen Teachings of Bodhidharma As discussed before, the realization of emptiness makes everything much lighter. Therefore, bodhisattvas do not perceive a glass in the exact same way that we do, nor do they cling to its real existence anymore. It is more like a lucid dream.

practice compassion and charity without regard to appearances, without regard to form, without regard to sound, smell, taste, touch, or any quality of any kind if a disciple still clings to the arbitrary illusions of form or phenomena such as an ego, a personality, a self, a separate person, or a universal self existing eternally, then that person is not an authentic disciple A disciple should develop a mind which is in no way dependent upon sights, sounds, smells, tastes, sensory sensations or any mental conceptions. A disciple should develop a mind which does not rely on anything. SOURCE: Buddha - Diamond Sutra
