Buddhism: Impersonality & the Egoless Absolute ... !!!

[Guest guest]

 

Friends:

 

No Self Exists ...

 

There neither ever was, nor is now, nor will ever be any 'Person'...

There neither ever was, nor is now, nor will ever be any 'Self'...

There neither ever was, nor is now, nor will ever be any 'Soul'...

There neither ever was, nor is now, nor will ever be any 'Identity'...

There neither ever was, nor is now, nor will ever be any 'Ego'...

There neither ever was, nor is now, nor will ever be any 'Me'...

There neither ever was, nor is now, nor will ever be any 'I'...

 

Since if everything changes continuously from moment to moment,

whether physical or mental, whether internal or external, & nothing

therefore can remain 'Identical' & 'Same' even for a single moment,

how can there possibly ever exist any stable 'Identity' & same 'Self' ???

The 'I-Me-Mine-Personality-Identity-Ego- & -Soul' are thus mere Mentally

Constructed Ideas & Assumed Conceptualizations, that never can be

actually observed nor verified, but is arised caused by mental clinging:

 

Clinging to What?

Clinging to views of personality-belief & the conceit 'I Am','Mine' & 'Self'.

Clinging to Forms, Feelings, Experiences, Constructions & Consciousness.

Clinging to Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting, Touching & Thinking.

This Cluster of Clinging is the very core of all deeply mistaken Egoism ...

This Cluster of Clinging is the very root of all Conceit, Pride & Arrogance ...

This Cluster of Clinging is first cause of repeated birth, sickness & Death ...

 

Remove & cure it by observing, accepting & understanding that: Any body & form,

any feeling, any experience, any construction, & whatever consciousness is always

changing, transient, impermanent, decaying & vanishing even while happening...

What is always decaying & vanishing is dissatisfying, frustrating, & quite painful...

What is always changing & vanishing, frustrating & painful, and unsafe & uncertain,

cannot correctly be regarded as neither 'I-Me-Mine' nor as any 'Self' nor as

belonging to any 'Self'...!!! If it really were self, then one could keep & control it

completely, by making any body, feeling, experience, construction, & consciousness

stable & always pleasant!!! But one cannot even for a second control this flux...

One cannot, even for a second, stop this Change...

One cannot, even for a second, halt this Ageing...

One cannot, even for a second, avert this Decay...

One cannot, even for a second, prevent this Death...

 

Only the State of Nibbana is Unchanging, Eternal, Stable, Safe, Same,

Lasting, Certain, Still, Imperturbable, Ultimate & Deathless...

There is no other Alternative ...

There is no other Solution ...

There is no other Absolute ...

Go for it ! It is deep Peace !!!

It is open Freedom !!! It is sole Bliss !!!

Beyond both Being and Non-Being ...

Friendship is the Greatest !
