So you will lie to them because if they know who really are they may disown you? So their love is conditional? And you want to drag around this lie for the rest of you life just to appease them? I know what I would do

Realise who you are. Don’t waste time with silly affirmations

Lick a toad

Did Leo Gura really say that if your child is kidnapped and raped that you will be happy?!

@Emanyalpsid relax buddy He means you and the chicken are one and the same. You are everything. The source of all eggs is you. The egg of knowledge is all that you are and all you will ever be. Namastegg

You would probably stop searching for it right?

Say there was no truth, just as a hypothetical, what would you do?

Cool. And what if none are true?

@Mikael89 you may well be right. So where to for you now? Science? Christianity?

@Joseph Maynor do you realise how much you are projecting?

@Joseph Maynor where is the Buddhist?

I don’t identify as a Buddhist or a non dualist or anything really I sometimes post here to challenge people’s beliefs with the aim of increasing clarity for themselves and others who are reading it I am surprised by the dualistic notions that some people hold onto as truth on this forum. It’s kinda ironically funny

People don’t know what is up and what is down. People are deluded. 99.99% of people are walking zombies. So why the fuck does it matter if they pick Buddhism over any other non dual teaching?

@Shin People need to make up their own minds through their own experience. Agree?

@Shadowraix sure, but isn’t that the same for any teaching?

@Shin why would you need to go to a zen centre to practice the “core teachings that the Buddha taught”?

@Joseph Maynor yes, and replace Buddha with spiral dynamics, Leo Gura, Joseph Maynor, Barry J, Ramana Marhashi...

Of course, they are all in the dream seeing things through the dream, and expressing their delusions on a forum.

Only because crunching the numbers. If it were that easy everyone would be enlightened. The delusion runs so deep sometimes. Not sure, but I do know there is a place for your way of communication so thanks for being here

@Leo Gura I’m responding to you assertion that some teachings are fundamentally corrupt to begin with. The person/idea known as Buddha was not fundamentally corrupt. However, a corrupt person can take a teaching and make it corrupt. That Buddha guy said that direct experience is the only source of truth 2500 years before you did

@Faceless I like what you are doing on this forum. You speak the truth and the message is very direct but I wonder if it can be grasped by everyone

@Leo Gura I see your point however Buddhism doesn’t fall into the category of corrupt and dogmatic. We are talking about Buddhism here, not a dangerous cult.

@Faceless sure but it is easier to realise this with a quiet mind...

@Joseph Maynor it is a complete system like any other system, if you understand it and drop your preconceptions; and finally, drop the system altogether

@Leo Gura the mind makes things exclusionary and dogmatic. The teaching points to the truth, you know this already so I don’t know why your framing in this sense. Anything can be made to be what you say, even non duality, way as no way etc. The truth is the truth regardless of the pointer. Don’t you agree?
