I Have Something For You Guys

[The Don]

Hello.

Quite recently I found this link (http://www.pa56.org/ross/Buddha.htm) on Google. I was blown away by it and I'm not exaggerating.

It provides wisdom.

If you want to live a happy life, learn/study and contemplate the teachings.

Take a look at this quote:

Quote

If a man's thoughts are muddy,
If he is reckless and full of deceit,
How can he wear the yellow robe?

Whoever is master of his own nature,
Bright, clear and true,
He may indeed wear the yellow robe.

When I read the quote above I realized I can't wear the yellow robe.

What's your favorite one from the list? Let's open a great discussion.

What do you mean that when you say you “can’t wear the yellow robe” ?

We are what we think. 
All that we are arises with our thoughts. 
With our thoughts we make the world.

I should have said "I realized I can't wear the yellow robe YET."

I can't  wear the yellow robe YET because my mind is still reckless and full of deceit.

So you understand that the yellow robe is a metaphor?

Your mind will ALWAYS be reckless and full of deceit. Do you know that?

Well, I hope you're not right regarding this matter.

That's why I meditate. To purify my mind.

And the yellow robe stands for?

What is mind?

 

[The Don]

The mind is a process that produces thoughts. A mind is also able to understand thoughts.

@The Don

Imo, you are on the right track my friend. Self honesty, if need be, in defiance of all norms - absolute self honesty alone, wears the yellow robe.

@The Don so maybe the mind IS thoughts?

Yes. The mind is thoughts too.

THE MIND IS SEEN/UNDERSTOOD

 

WHO IS THE ONE THAT SEES/UNDERSTANDS?

The yellow robe is Gold vibration, the 24th dimension of reality.
