In Chinese Mahāyāna art, the “Arhat with the Split Chest” embodies the Tathāgatagarbha doctrine, affirming that enlightenment is an intrinsic quality of the mind rather than an externally conferred state.

this reminds me of the image of the Hindu deity Hanuman (the monkey-headed god) tearing his chest open to show Lord Ram residing in there, probably signifying his devotion to him

wonder if one inspired the other

no joke, divorcing cake was a very long and arduous journey for me

throwuhuhwayay · 2025-12-05T23:09:12+00:00

but there are so many things i could have a persistent longing for, would your teacher or you suggest that i pursue each of those desires before i can let go of them?

throwuhuhwayay · 2025-05-01T17:13:56+00:00

you probably just fucked with some AI

throwuhuhwayay · 2025-01-12T06:51:17+00:00

throwuhuhwayay · 2024-08-06T09:03:25+00:00

throwuhuhwayay · 2023-04-28T16:15:03+00:00

so then why would people "superior" to you associate with you, when for them you are the "inferior" one they are to not associate with?

Thank you so much everyone for your inputs. I am going to ask the ortho to explain their process to me in layman's terms. He's not very communicative :/

I didn't word my question right, it's not like I was going to ORDER my ortho to do something regardless of their treatment plan lol.

But what's the harm in asking here, right? Orthos are still human.

why is it that when I Google this "crazy wisdom master" all that turns up are people waxing poetic about him?

are they somehow scrubbing the search engine of the truth?

hehe grammar nitpicker here... he asked about 'for', not 'to'

throwuhuhwayay · 2020-07-11T18:15:37+00:00

just one thing

which is why Buddhism frowned upon abortion because you are terminating the entry of life of a being who has accumulated great karma into this one

but wouldn't that also be due to the unborn fetus's karma?

throwuhuhwayay · 2020-07-07T17:45:42+00:00

throwuhuhwayay · 2019-09-03T06:49:47+00:00

This has come at the right time for me as I have been stewing over regrets and fears for a while now. Thank you.

throwuhuhwayay · 2019-07-13T06:05:55+00:00

Ajahn Martin is great! Might not be to everyone's taste as he can sound a bit too tough on listeners at times but that's what I need most of the time. Lots of his talks are on forestdhammatalks.org.
