Lead me from dreaming to waking.
Lead me from opacity to clarity.
Lead me from the complicated to the simple. Lead me from the obscure to the obvious. Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am. Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left, Where there is peace, and peace -from the Upanishads- Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain..
...inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi! so listen to the mahayogi..,grasshopper from heaven....
In silence there must be movement, and in motion,
There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big one..
No movement is better than a small one..listen!
Silence is all the movement's mother..
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.
-- Wang Xiangzhai(November 26, 1885 - July 12, 1963}
What is referred to as mindlessness is absence of the human
mentality; what is referred to as mindfulness is mindfulness of the
Tao. When one is free of the human mentality, the mutual sensing of
the earthly and celestial is swift; when one is mindful of the Tao,
effective practice endures. Swiftness of sensing comes about
spontaneously, without cultivation, without striving; long
perseverance comes about through effort, and involves action and
striving. Striving and non-striving each has its secret; the
distinction is all a matter of the absence of the human mentality
and the presence of mindfulness of the Tao. After one has reached
complete realization of the universal Tao, neither existence nor
nonexistence remain; others and self are ultimately empty, and one
enters the state of ultimate truthfulness, like a spirit. Here, it
is not only the human mentality that cannot be applied; even the
mindfulness of Tao is not applicable." - Liu I-ming
The Conduct of the Moon and Clouds
The consistent conduct of people of the Way is like the flowing clouds with no grasping mind, like the full moon reflecting universally, not confined anywhere, glistening within each of the ten thousand forms.
Dignified and upright, emerge and make contact with the variety of phenomena, unstained and unconfused. Function the same toward all others since all have the same substance as you. Language cannot transmit this, speculation cannot reach it. Leaping beyond the infinite and cutting off the dependent, be obliging without looking for merit.
This marvel cannot be measured with consciousness or emotion. On the journey accept your function, in your house please sustain it. Comprehending birth and death, leaving causes and conditions, genuinely realize that from the outset your spirit is not halted. So we have been told that the mind that embraces all the ten directions does not stop anywhere.
-- Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157)
Ps..just a nice poem I posted on http://kriptodanny.blogspot.ro/2010/03/it-was-scary-and-beautiful-in-same-time.html..
I love it!..
......
Behold the marvelous dentist Long live the clear rainbow light!! Thus spokenth the mahayogi While flexing his wisdom muscles.. Behold the clear light!!! Now you see it,now it's gone Because you have a tooth-ache Named false assumptions.. So take off your glasses Maybe you'll see better And know there was no seer Just the light seeing itself In the rainbow glasses Of the clear light body... Now go to the kriptodanny dentist He will cure your false assumptions There is no tooth to ache.. There is no spoon either... All there is..is the rainbow body Of the tooth-ache .. Marvelous dentist! Now love me..kisses:) -added by danny-
quote:Originally posted by Christi That's what I thought. And thanks for the link. There is a beautiful description in the link of someone learning to use the light body for the first time:
“the truth is that sometime ago, after heavy meditation and fasting ..I have managed to disappear as light.And survived coming back....The problem is that the universe around me also proved to be the same light.So that's WHY I started laughing like a mad man while I was in the middle of the forest...or maybe the forest was laughing too?....All I know is I could see thru my hands...and all I could see was rainbow colors ..and the trees also were made of the same stuff as me....I was,and I am..everybody.
I am you,my beloved...my beloved me.
I
know for sure was not some mind trick,because I passed my hand thru
some tree..and my hand went right thru it..while all the molecules of
rainbow body were laughing at me for trying it..that's when I started
laughing too....that was the day when I laughed about the notion of
death itself.
Even the tree was laughing at me..well.... because the tree was me too...hahahahaha..lol”
Hi
Christi..thank you for calling my experience ,,beautiful,,..actually it
was beyond beautiful..it was scary and beautiful in the same time.
Hi guys..nice forum.
I posted on http://kriptodanny.blogspot.com/2009/09/pure-rainbow-body.html the quotes Christi refers too..They are mine,even though Christi said,,someone learning to use the light body,,.
That someone is me..anyway.
Happy to see so many serious practitioners discuss their experiences.
About that famous ,,rainbow body,, experience I've had..It took me completely by surprise.
Because seeing lights or becoming a light-beam(aka rainbow body) wasn't in my expectations..it just happened.
In
retrospection,I don't think one could work for it,like..do this..and
you'll go,,poof,, in a rainbow body(but maybe I'm mistaken,is just not
part of my tradition)
Also,as
I recall..I was at the end of a serious 8 months fasting(more or less)
and meditation in the forests,while I was travelling by foot from Miami
to Philadelphia...lost over 40 lb in the process.The more skinny I'd
get,the more my meditations were becoming more amazing..kundalini waves
were manifesting as a cool breeze in an empty shell of a skin bag,named
,,the body,,.
Total bliss indeed.
So I figured..why bother meditating,Danny..just go in the forest and abandon the body.
So
as I was stepping deeper and deeper in the forest,with each step I'd
abandon some deep layers of ego(while I was still in total bliss and
joy).
Then I stopped still right in the middle of forest..and realized that I have abandoned even the idea of abandoning the body.
Then I asked aloud...then why I am here?
And set down in lotus,wondering about this question,looking around.,scratching my 8 months grown beard.
Then something happened...
As
I abandoned even that question(why I am here?..on this earth I
ment)..then poof..as I looked around..everything was light..I was a
rainbow of light.I could see thru the trees too..and every one of them
,every leaf was me.
So I guess in the end it comes down to ,,letting go,, and something,the real nature will reveal itself.
When
I saw that my real nature was light..and the same as the forest..I
started to laugh so hard..of my previous stupidity to abandon the
body.There is no one to abandon the body,see?
The
meaning I got after that experience,as everything turned to normal..and
the forest was there again,was that I was the light experiencing
itself.
Never talked about that for years,till I read about the tibetan buddhists ,,rainbow of light,, and stuff.
Took me awhile to process the experience,really.
This stuff is real,indeed.
And
about 3 weeks after that,as I was walking on the streets,I could see
the people empty..just shadows of light,not aware of their essence.
Anyway,hope
I haven't bothered you with my babbling ,I hope,hopefully..because you
are the hope of the world(which doesn't exist,but it could if enough
people realize their true nature)
To nourish the vital energy, keep watch in silence;
In order to subdue the mind, act with non-action.
Of movement and stillness, be aware of their origin;
There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.
The true and constant must respond to phenomena;
Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.
When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;
When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.
When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;
Within the pot, the trigrams of kǎn and lí(heaven and earth) are joined.
Yīn and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;
Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.
White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;
The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.
Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;
You wander so freely—who is able to know you?
Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;
Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.
It comes entirely from these twenty lines;
A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text -
"The center of the cyclone is that
rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live
eternally. Just outside of this Center is the rotating storm of
one's own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity
circular dance. As one leaves center, the roar of rotating wind
deafens on more and more as one joins this dance. One's centered
thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the center only,
not outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori
modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the
center. In the center of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma,
of life, rising to join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of
us.
Here we find that we have created Them who are Us...

"In the province of the mind, what

Unless you know the emptiness and
bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness
and bliss trying to know itself..by pain..inside your self also..trust
me!..said the mahayogi!
The student asked: “A sage's response to changing conditions
is unlimited. Does he have to study beforehand?”
He should worry only about his mind's not being
clear, and not about the inability to respond to all changing conditions.”

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
