A question just occurred to me. What do you make of traditions Buddhist etc after being exposed to so much nondual truth? Is the path a formality at this point?
@@flecha213 Nice to hear from you again Flecha. How have ya been? Traditions and lineages can provide powerful containers for transmission of the Truth and many are beautiful and ancient like the Buddhist one I am aligned with which dates back to Guatama Buddha or Shakyamuni. They are potent when headed by an authentically realised One. I remember my teacher asking us to reflect on the abundance and generosity of support we receive as monastics and he said that this is all a result of the continuing parami (resultant good karma) of the Buddha. Now that stopped my mind completely and is most humbling. I feel in my heart it is true. Having said all that, if one clings to a view of one's tradition as being the best or the only harbinger of Truth and attaches to ancient rights and rituals or cultural practices, or ways of doing or seeing the world as being essentially right and true, then it is wrong view. Traditions provide a powerful refuge and are a raft for reaching Liberation but they themselves are still part of the relative world. Many have reached Liberation without belonging to any formal tradition - the Buddha himself! In truth though, we all belong to the same One Divine tradition of the Heart.
Hi Samaneri, i,m Tony from the netherlands and i so enjoy your work here, as i long for truth and dharma without any sadhana or praktice, life is my teacher and slap me around all the time for my stubberness like a donkey for holding on to this sensery life,is this site very enjoying for reconicing TheONE who is slapping me around i,m so proud of Him thank you so much🙏❤
Absolutely brilliant. This is pure wisdom--perfection. Dear Samaneri Jayasara, thank you for this wonderful gift. I am sure you have managed to sow the seeds of enlightenment in the hearts of many through the wonderful contributions you have made on this RUclips channel. Personally, I find this reading to be particularly profound. I had tears running down my cheeks by the end of the recording--neither tears of sorrow nor joy. It's very hard to explain, but it's as though I'd become one with the world around me. I didn't feel anything per say, just an acute awareness of the shapes and sounds and all else surrounding me. No awareness of self whatsoever. It was beautiful in retrospect, although it didn't strike me as beautiful in the moment because I wasn't conscious of my own thoughts and feelings. Is this what we call a transcendental experience? Although I've been meditating for a while and I've read and listened to countless scriptures, it was my first time experiencing this. In any case, my mind feels purely at peace right now and I owe this entirely to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you as always for laying a place for us in the flowers at the feet of these great Masters. We bask in the sunshine of the unadorned splendor of this spontaneously arising suchness. Without attachment to desires or fears there remains only the primordial peace of pure being. In remembering our true nature, how can we not laugh in open, natural bliss at the joy and pleasure of this, our luminous dancing consciousness.
This simple - yet uniquely evocative drawing - of a person meditating - is one of me favourites. Thank you for using it - although some quite refined being - had drawn it - on one a special day - in spiritual history. The artist - unknown to me - but seeing this figure - always makes something new - known to me - meditating. Salute ... Fare thee well - in life's journey.

@@MrrBazzz Simple spiritual evocation. Basic lines and the emptiness within. As a fine artistic representation - perfect Meditation - is still the practice - of the awakening inner experience (of love - in its finest realisation - methinks) Thanking you - fare thee well - on life's journey.

It makes me laugh so much. I did Zazen for 15 years and every time I sat down the teacher would say “without effort or striving for anything” of course no one hears that part and as soon as we sit we try to achieve something, make ourselves better somehow. It’s as if we listen to all of these none duel messages and completely miss the main point, the striving to get something and the feeling of being a separate individual are the same thing. We feel that somehow this as it is isn’t ok and that it needs to be different to be ok, from there we seek and the seeking only strengthens the feeling that there’s something to get. Can we drop seeking or are we to invested in the warm fuzzy delicious things it promises? Do we want the truth at any cost or do we want to continue seeking with the hope that we’ll get something really really special, it’s the ultimate ego trip and it will end when it ends, it all just happens. There is no doer. Thank you for the wonderful voice and video.

The secret of the service industry is the repetition of simple tasks. There comes a realization there is no difference between standing and doing or sitting zazen aside from within ones own perspective. I clean pools and its something that can't be rushed or else you stir the water and make a bigger mess than you started with, much like life itself.
It’s funny because I was just thinking the opposite. I just finished the Tao Te Ching and I couldn’t make sense of it. I know I’m missing it, so I think I may not be ready to hear it yet. The Vedic texts and this seem to resonate more with me at this time.
What self? What self to realise Michael? 😎 Rupert seems like a nice man - very softly spoken. I have never met him myself though. With all good wishes 💗
@@SamaneriJayasara It's like, i have pushed the door open a crack n stuck my foot of knowledge n understanding in the crack to keep it open. But the door swings in, n i am holding the door closed with great stress on my foot don't remember who said it but so spot on in the beginning nothing comes in the middle nothing stays in the end nothing goes
@@mk-ue9tx One can recognise their existential being in every moment. Here, now, with each in breath with each out breath (or even when the breath disappears) is the very space and place of awakening. Can you not recognise That right now yourself Michael?
confusing…..how does one go about day to day activities.…..we are here now and in this movie. I am awakening to the oneness, however in this I am hearing even oneness disappears…..My impression is as i become more awake I will look around and know we are all connected to source..I get that and love that concept….but that is an opinion, a like. I realize to be in the present is key, no past, no future… just the now….yet I am hearing there is no now….what am I missing? I am also learning the more you meditate and try to make it happen it won’t!. Help

Thanks 😸
So agree - the implications here are truly staggering! It blows most comments made about 'God' out of the water!

I found myself thinking "this sounds more like Taoism than Zen," and then realized I was holding an opinion. Thank you!
Welcome to being human. Without us, there would be no life, no god, no zen
