But what is "ashura practise"? What does it mean?
Good self!! Mr "An Eternal Now".Originally posted by An Eternal Now:In meditation we are often curious of many things. Be it supernatural powers, Jhanas, etc etc. But ultimately it is enlightenment that liberates. No-self. Emptiness. So again the curious mind may ask something like...
What is being no-self like?
Actually to this question only the word "Is" can describe it closely. The rest of the words (What, Being, Like), are useless. Even so it's not yet there. No words. No perspectives. No sides. No analysis.
Things arise on cause and conditions. So be it. All these doesn't matter.
Just Sit! (zazen)
Indeed Thanks for the great advise. I think I'm one who lack compassion... but I think for true compassion to arise one must see other's sufferings. Just like the scenes that Buddha seen that led him to renounce his worldly life. I believe these sights not only told him the need for liberation but also led to his arising of compassion.Originally posted by surfer188:Good self!! Mr "An Eternal Now".
I believe you have in-sight on meditations already. Try using Words to describe are just scratching on the surface of earth only.
There is no actually left, right or center. Our own minds created & recongnised it. Try telling birds, monkeys what's left, right & center? What do you get?
Colors are forms of vibrations. Just different spectrum (Vibrations at different frequencies of elements). That why fire burns at different temperature have different colors! If White color vibrates in red frequence what do you get? Impermanents even just colors.
Meditations let us analysis deeply what's true. Recognised what is "Just our mind being tell us" & "What's true". Even "Time" can be stop because there is no further creations no more being trap by this fake "time".
Besided meditations, other practices like loving kindness, compassion .... all are methods to strengthen our minds & clear the clouds in our own minds.
Wanted to stress Loving Kindness & Compassion is not "EMOTIONAL FEELINGS" A better description is Universal Love equally to all beings. Emotions is feelings between couple that comes with "terms".

Sorry in earlier posts I did not see that Blue-mind has stated about her supernatural experiences. Was too tired that day. Only today then I saw it. So I sent blue-mind a private message.
It's Fine. What I'm talking about is boastful people who try to use their supernatural powers for suspicious things.
There are many people out there who have supernatural powers. Blue-mind is not the first person I heard. I'm not saying that blue-mind is boastful.
[b]I certainly do not consider sharing of experiences as boasting.
Sorry for my unmindful posts that led to misunderstandings.[/b]
'Ashura' is one of de buddhist protector against evil spirits etc as commitments to 'Lord Buddha'Originally posted by An Eternal Now:As far as I know there are 33 Planes of Existences. Ashuras is one of them.
But what is "ashura practise"? What does it mean?
The first teacher who entered my spiritual life was Mr. Three-Peaks-Nine-States (San-shan Chiu-hou Hsien-sheng). He was a Spirit Master from the invisible realm, and he taught me for a total of three years.
Now I shall first unveil the true identity of Mr. Three-Peaks-Nine-States, then I will provide the reasons for my identification.Such a powerful teacher from the "invisible realm".
The Three-Peaks:
Dharma Body Buddha - Vairocana Buddha
Bliss Body Buddha - Rocana Buddha
Emanation Body Buddha - Shakyamuni Buddha
The Nine-States:
(These are the Nine Deities found in the central court of the Womb Mandala [Garbhadhatu Mandala].)
1) Central Mahavairocana Buddha - All-pervading Vajra
2) Eastern Precious Banner Tathagata - Fortune Gathering Vajra
3) Southern Blooming Flower King Tathagata - Equality Vajra
4) Western Boundless Life Tathagata - The Purity Vajra
5) Northern Sky Drum Thunder Sound Tathagata - Immovable Vajra
6) Southeastern Samantabadra Bodhisattva - Immutable Vajra
7) Southwestern Manjushri Bodhisattva - Auspicious Vajra
Northwestern Kuan Yin Bodhisattva - Right Dharma Vajra
9) Northeastern Maitreya Bodhisattva - Swift Vajra
I have passed through the four stages of Luminosities: Appearance of Light in the Ultimate Ground of Being, Expansion of Light in Awareness, Maximizing of Light in Wisdom, and Infinite Blaze of the Ultimate Ground of Being.This is truly one heretic.
Through practicing the True Buddha Tantric Dharma, I have opened up my subtle channels with the winds, and filled them with light. I have reached the realm of Purity and Wisdom. Dharma Body, Light, and Pure Land may manifest anytime when there is no more attachment to any realm of illusion.
I have attained the Three Bodies and Five Wisdoms of the Tathagata.
I realize that the Ground of Being is completely unstained by any phenomenal conditions and it is the Dharma Body. Bliss Body is the manifestation of `I` without any attachments. Emanation Body is the manifestation of all phenomenal conditions.
I have also realized the Five Wisdoms: that it is totally unstained by any phenomenon (the Ultimate Ground of Being Wisdom); it is free of obstruction (the Great Round Mirror Wisdom); it reflects all aspects equally (Equality Wisdom); it reflects all Five Lights clearly without distortion (Wisdom of Profound Insight); and that, in its root condition, everything is Light and is already accomplished (All Accomplished Wisdom).
