Misunderstanding

Article summary

These days many are misunderstood the purest Buddhism. It is always defined by the facts we already know and we are misleading ourselves by believing we are in the correct path of enlightenment. Or we believe that we realize the truth what explained in Buddhism. We never give us a chance to clarify the misunderstanding. May be this will be a little help for all of those who seeks is real & honest!

What if you try to find the Hydrogen and Oxygen (H2O), in the water you see in a mirage? 

Do you even try it? I’m sure you aren’t… coz you know that’s only a hallucination of water not some real water…

Trying to find a meaning and reality in something which arise as a result of some cause is also something like that…

As long as we believe Buddhism is all about some teaching, which leads us to deal better with something which arise as a result of some cause…

We truly misunderstood the pure Buddhist teachings for something else and we surely underestimate the depth of this wonderful teaching.

As long as we believe Buddhism is something which talks about the so-called reality for us and how to get along with it with a peaceful mind…

We truly misunderstood and underestimating the true depth & power of this wonderful teachings…

As long as we have this belief, we think Buddhism is something like science and Lord Samma Sambuddha also someone like a scientist who discover some scientific exploration about this world & universe. 

We argue that Samma Sambuddha mentioned about the impermanence of beings & things, and how suffering the world is… and there is no soul within us etc … etc…

As long as we are misunderstood the core of Buddhism, we believe something else as Buddhism and we define Buddhism from that knowledge only…

End of the day we trapped again in our own mind created hallucination as reality and liberation.

So, it’s time to wake up!!!

Instead of defining everything from your limited knowledge it’s time to dig deeper.

Instead of learning how to deal with the water you see in a mirage…

It’s time to realize HOW you see that hallucination…

That’s what Pure Buddhism is all about…

It’s not something which says you, “how to deal with an hallucination with a peaceful mind” it’s something which guide you to realize “How that hallucination arise and what kind of a impact it will give to you”

Wake up!!! Clock is ticking…

The purest teachings are vanishing from the earth…

Be open minded and search with wisdom…

Don’t just stop with some crap which says how to deal with the water in a mirage…

You will stop automatically when someone explaining you how you see that hallucinated water in that mirage…

Pure Buddhism is all about explaining you the actual cause… not the cause which you & I know… and then only we see the real effect through the effect which we all believe all these days as actual effect…

Then only you can actually be happy & peaceful… fearless… egoless… liberated… enlightened…

AWAKEN!!!

Till then you are only trying to deal with the water in front you by believing it as real!
