THE MASTERY
OF YOUR ATTENTION WILL COME
WHEN YOU WILL START SEEING the truth..
*note* Guess I've been cured of cruising the forums..looks like people never watch themselves,and ALL they want from others is to confirm their ideas of the TRUTH as they imagine it in their minds..
And the most they like is to find faults in others...never FOR ONE second thinking they could be wrong...also..I am disappointed that NONE of the masters of the past tried to talk to other masters...usually,every master alive just proclaimed himself..,just made it's own sect..and never considered other master's wisdom(UNLESS THEY WERE DEAD PEOPLE..masters love to quote dead people,since there is no possibility of those coming back and saying,,hey...I didn't mean that,my friend..do you mind?)
The situation is SUCH ridiculous that I am laughing my ass off...and this shows how we are,as humanity..just a bunch of territorial monkeys..even in spirituality..what they fight for?..they fight for the truth?..look at the muslims and christians and buddhists and god knows what..where is the peace ?..where is the truth?..If truth is one,how come that we,as humanity...never had a master(besides kripto the great) to integrate all religions and tell people,,LOOK..you can't know the truth,unless you become it?
See the Marvelous wisdom of the mighty Kripto the Great?..one of a kind,indeed..I love the kripto,and he loves me too!..Hallelluyah!
PONDER!,,grasshoppers!

........Trading Dialogue for Lodging
Provided he makes and wins an argument about Buddhism with those who live there, any wondering monk can remain in a Zen temple. If he is defeated, he has to move on.
In a temple in the northern part of Japan two brother monks were dwelling together. The elder one was learned, but the younger one was stupid and had but one eye.
A wandering monk came and asked for lodging, properly challenging them to a debate about the sublime teachings. The elder brother, tired that day from much studying, told the younger one to take his place. "Go and request the dialogue in silence," he cautioned.
(but the final conflict is in yourself..ponder)
So the young monk and the stranger went to the shrine and sat down.
Shortly afterwards the traveler rose and went in to the elder brother and said: "Your young brother is a wonderful fellow. He defeated me."
"Relate the dialogue to me," said the elder one.
"Well," explained the traveler, "first I held up one finger, representing Buddha, the enlightened one. So he held up two fingers, signifying Buddha and his teaching. I held up three fingers, representing Buddha, his teaching, and his followers, living the harmonious life. Then he shook his clenched fist in my face, indicating that all three come fromone realization. Thus he won and so I have no right to remain here." With this, the traveler left.
"Where is that fellow?" asked the younger one, running in to his elder brother.
"I understand you won the debate."
"Won nothing. I'm going to beat him up."
"Tell me the subject of the debate," asked the elder one.
"Why, the minute he saw me he held up one finger, insulting me by insinuating that I have only one eye. Since he was a stranger I thought I would be polite to him, so I held up two fingers, congratulating him that he has two eyes. Then the impolite wretch held up three fingers, suggesting that between us we only have three eyes. So I got mad and started to punch him, but he ran out and that ended it!"
To us all towns are one, all men our kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill. Man's pains and pains' relief are from within. Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !." - Tamil Poem-
