What is Enlightenment? ~Adyashanti

Beyond Eternalism & Nihilism – Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra
Posted by: | CommentsWhen it is recognized that there is nothing beyond what is seen of the mind [Mind] itself, the discrimination of being and non-being ceases and, as there is thus no external world as the object of perception, nothing remains but the solitude of Reality. Further, Mahamati, according to the teaching of the Tathagatas of the past, present, and future, all things are unborn. Why? Because they have no reality, being manifestations of Mind itself, and, Mahamati, as they are not born of being and non-being, they are unborn. Mahamati, all things are like the horns of the hare, horse, donkey, or camel, but the ignorant and simple-minded who are given up to their false and erroneous imaginations, discriminate things where they are not; therefore, all things are unborn. …The self-nature and characteristic marks of body, property and abode evolve when the Alayavijnana is conceived by the ignorant as grasping and grasped; and then they fall into a dualistic view of existence where they recognize its rise, abiding, and disappearance. 2-XIX
That all things are devoid of self-nature means that there is a constant and uninterrupted becoming, a momentary change from one state of existence to another; seeing this, Mahamati, all things are destitute of self-nature. …There is no Nirvana except where there is Samsara; there is no Samsara except where there is Nirvana; for the condition of existence is not of mutually-exclusive character. …I always preach emptiness which is beyond eternalism and nihilism; Samsara is like a dream and a vision, and karma vanishes not. 2-XXVII
When the self-nature and habit-energy of all the Vijnanas, including the Alaya, Manas and Manovijnana, from which issues the habit-energy of wrong speculations – when all these go through a revulsion, I and all the Buddhas declare that there is Nirvana, and the way and the self-nature of this Nirvana is emptiness, which is the state of reality. Further, Mahamati, Nirvana is the realm of self-realisation attained by noble wisdom, which is free from the discrimination of eternality and annihilation, existence and non-existence. …Again, Mahamati, the great Parinirvana is neither destruction nor death. Mahamati, if the great Parinirvana is death, then it will be a birth and continuation. If it is destruction, then it will assume the character of an effect-producing deed. …Neither has it anything to do with vanishing; it is the goal of the Yogins. Again, Mahamati, the great Parinirvana is neither abandonment nor attainment, neither is it of one meaning nor of no-meaning; this is said to be Nirvana. 2-XXXVIII
Of neither existence nor non-existence do I speak, but of Mind-only which has nothing to do with existence and non-existence, and which is thus free from intellection. Suchness, emptiness, realm of truth, the various forms of the will-body – these I call Mind-only. Multiplicity of objects evolves from the conjunction of habit-energy and discrimination: it is born of Mind, but is regarded by people as existing outwardly: this I call Mind-only. The external world is not, and multiplicity of objects is what is seen of Mind; body, property, and abode – these I call Mind-only. 3-LXIV
PRINPRSU – from the Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra
Only by the Wise
Posted by: | CommentsI reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.
~Buddha
Prajnaparamita Mantra ~ Yangjin Luma
Posted by: | CommentsCute song :) … it’s the Prajñaparamita Mantra*
A “Yangjin Luma”, is a legendary woman from Tibet, sings out the voice of Heaven, the voice of earth and the voice of your heart. Yangjin Lamu, in Tibetan language, means the Divine Lady with beautiful voice, the Lady of wisdom and art. Yangin Lamu is not only a Tibetan Cultural ambassador but also one of the founders of Cheezheng Group. For many times She introduced Tibetan culture in international conferences held in Japan, Korea and Beijing
The Prajnaparamita Mantra’s literal meaning:
“Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone utterly beyond, Enlightenment hail!”
The mantra is a snippet from the Heart Sutra, a central text for many zen Buddhists & other Mahayana Buddhists.
