100-The universe and us - Buddhism in daily life

The universe and us


Our spiritual expectations are great, we like to talk about the
universe, we occasionally see ourselves as part of it, but we are
immensely afraid of the infinite vastness, of the areas that no
human being has ever entered, at least that's what we think.


The pure being is already a mystery, we, our ego, the personality
that represents us, the ego, nothing of it we understand even in
the beginning, the universe not even in fragments.


But with the Buddhist teaching we can leave behind the human
dimension, become one with the great emptiness, whoever
recognizes his true Buddha nature can have a deep experience with
being, live through all the dimensions of life in all its
diversity, leave behind the relative life, turn towards the light
that seems dark.


If we want to be unified beings, then we should find our way to
the Buddha's path, explore the depth of existences, experience
true meaning. But those who prefer to run after material things
will probably miss the fork in the road, will not give the
necessary meaning to the little things.


Because nothing really makes sense, who adheres to the philosophy
of Buddha knows about the singularity, who has escaped the chaos,
has left suffering behind. We humans do not have to suffer, if we
want to, we simply stop doing so.


But the one who shies away from deep experience will not come to
the right place, will not make the appropriate perception,
because he/she only wants to satisfy the senses, goes after the
transient cravings, is too busy to even begin to comprehend the
truth of his/her own existence.


Too much the underlying clarity then makes fear, the fears are
omnipresent, then nevertheless still fast with alcohol or drugs
"the distance" look for, anesthetize themselves, only not think
about everything.


But when life feels right, then the dominoes fall as if by
themselves, the incarnation and the cosmos become one, the
enlightened state can hardly be described now. In harmony with
the environment, with being, with the personality, a tremendous
feeling of happiness, which leaves everything material far
behind, cannot be compared with the short intoxication.


The meaning of life, which everyone talks about, was clearly
named by the teacher of all teachers many centuries ago in his
philosophy, over the times many people listened to his
explanations, followed him on the way to personal
"enlightenment", no longer wanted to suffer, to leave human
destiny behind.


Life receives meaning through knowledge, the way there is the
goal!





Rarely only a great one appears and does not appear all the time
