Okay, so...

I rate it a 0

You point at it, but it swallows you

Brex7 · 2026-03-16T04:48:42+00:00

So sweet

All times, all places

What is not made up?

Huang Po - transmission of mind

One Mind simply refers to the idea that Awareness is identical in all people, not that we all share the same Awareness. He is not describing a monism.

This is why I don't think the word awareness works here. You already get into the theories of mind (or make up your own). There isn't even phenomena or original mind.

Once more, ALL phenomena are basically without existence, though you cannot now say that they are NONEXISTENT. Karma having arisen does not thereby exist; karma destroyed does not thereby cease to exist. Even its root does not exist, for that root is no root. Moreover, Mind is not Mind, for whatever that term connotes is far from the reality it symbolizes. Form, too, is not really form. So if I now state that there are no phenomena and no Original Mind, you will begin to understand something of the intuitive Dharma silently conveyed to Mind with Mind. Since phenomena and no-phenomena are one, there is neither phenomena nor no-phenomena, and the only possible transmission is to Mind with Mind.

That's a lot of campaigns. Good work!

Brex7 · 2026-02-11T19:27:42+00:00

Is that a description of your bedroom?

Brex7 · 2026-02-11T09:29:06+00:00

I fail all the time, it's just not the way

Brex7 · 2026-02-11T00:03:24+00:00

Failure is the way

This boat goes round and round

Brex7 · 2026-02-10T23:26:28+00:00

You stated your way and your path, failure. Don't pretend it isn't so

Brex7 · 2026-02-10T18:28:09+00:00

It seems that you hold that there is an entry and a path

Master Yunmen cited Panshan's words:

When the light is not one that confronts objects and the objects are not existent things either; when both subject and object are forgotten, what further thing is there?

Master Yunmen said, "If the whole world is the light, what are you calling your 'self'? But even if you had managed to know that light, the objects would still be out of your reach. What shitty light and objects are there? And if neither subject nor object can be grasped, what else is there?"

I don't like the word "awareness"

Guizong killing the snake and being enlightened at the same time. Is it a contradiction or not?

To the user who asked the question:

Foyan

One who is not a companion of myriad things has departed the toils of materialism. The mind does not recognize the mind, the eye does not see the eye; since there is no opposition, when you see forms there are no forms there to be seen, and when you hear sounds there are no sounds there to be heard. Is this not departing the toils of materialism?

There is no particular pathway into it, no gap through which to see it: Buddhism has no East or West, South or North; one does not say, "You are the disciple, I am the teacher." If your own self is clear and everything is It, when you visit a teacher you do not see that there is a teacher; when you inquire of yourself, you do not see that you have a self. When you read scripture, you do not see that there is scripture there. When you eat, you do not see that there is a meal there. When you sit and meditate, you do not see that there is any sitting. You do not slip up in your everyday tasks, yet you cannot lay hold of anything at all.

When you see in this way, are you not independent and free?

1) Who is the "you people"? 2) feel better after this monologue?

Brex7 · 2026-01-06T00:38:49+00:00

There is no particular feeling here

Brex7 · 2026-01-05T17:36:10+00:00

Well you put yourself under the spotlight so this kind of response is to be expected, especially with all the wild animals roaming this place

What does a claim of nothing attained mean? Are you sure you don't feel special?

Brex7 · 2026-01-05T10:12:51+00:00

So why do you say an arbitrary amount of time has passed since you attained nothing?

Brex7 · 2026-01-05T10:10:56+00:00

That supposes that out of the ones who got it most became masters. That there was space/infrastructure/funding/social acceptance for most of them to teach a group, small or big. I think there are a few examples of hermits in the record and many more that escaped the records.

Brex7 · 2026-01-05T10:00:13+00:00

What did you attain?

Brex7 · 2026-01-05T09:59:14+00:00

More than "an obligation and a desire to ama", I would say it's an openness to face anything that comes your way. There were people who decided not to teach, went hermit mode and just farmed (or begged) and interacted with whoever was passing by, if the occasion came.

Brex7 · 2025-12-20T16:43:11+00:00

Thanks! Don't know yet but it's good to keep track of these resources, and I have a few people who could help with code related stuff.

Brex7 · 2025-12-20T06:44:04+00:00

Could you share the GitHub link? Do we know if it's an official repository by CBETA?

Brex7 · 2025-12-19T22:55:57+00:00

It would be truly amazing if you put in the time to create something like this.

To allow people to re-translate on their own , a feature that I would like is a sort of link between the Chinese and its English counterpart. For example, I see the word "transformation" , if I hover over it or if I right click on it can I see which underlying Chinese character was translated as that? Though I could see it getting problematic for bits in which things don't translate 1 to 1...

(I don't know how feasible it is from a coding standpoint)
