Buddha on the road to Mecca

[Guest guest]

>Recently whilst practicing vajrayana in a monastic setting (and a great >

deal of preparatory practice) I entered a 'Pure Land' that I was familiar >

with. Ecstatic experiences are seductive and I lived there for a while.

So that's where you were. :-)

Pure Land couldn't be that great

if during your stay, you were missed.

>Coming back took about two weeks but then I knew the territory,

previously it would have taken two years . . .

Congrats! That is really something! Maybe two days next time...

then two hours... two minutes... two seconds... (what is after

seconds?)

<Some people never leave.

To be lifted up without the body...

ya' know, the mind only ascension process...

helps you to know you are not a body.

But then again, one forgets they are in one.

(whaaaat? life... in a body?)

ugh

I am not a body!

I am spirit!

I am God!

I am Mind!

It's like... 'How many times do I have to visit *this* place before I

know it... and can be it.

In a body.

ugh

Weighing me down.

It's easy for us to live in the cave of our mind.

Do we have the courage... the strength... to live this knowing in the body?

And ascend along with it?

>As they say, 'If you meet the Buddha on the road,one of you is going

in >the wrong direction.'. . . or is it that all roads lead to Rome .

If the ecstatic experiences

brought you to this place...

where you are right now...

(this more loose and loving dancing Lobster)

we all should visit more often.

Can we grow without the visits?

Lovely,
