Happy Buddha Jayanti. Appo Deepo Bhava!

Buddha Purnima

Q: Who is a Buddha?

A: One who is not a Buddhu.

Q: What is Nirvana, Enlightenment, or Buddhahood?

A: Nirvana is a difference between a Buddhu and the Buddha.

Q: What is a hurdle to Buddhahood?

A: Buddhism can be the biggest hurdle to Buddhahood. Buddhism and Buddhahood are not synonymous.

Q: What is Mahaparinirvana?

A: When a person like Buddha leaves the world, it is called Mahaparinirvana. And when a Buddhu leaves the world, it is called Death.

Q: Who is a Buddhu?

A: You must be thinking Buddhu means some other person. No, that kind of thinking would be stupid. We are all continuously moving from one better state to another. We are versioning ourselves. When a software can version, when an AI can version, how can you be different? This movement, or change, or transformation within me is what I am calling delta. We have come in our lives to make this delta analysis. That ignorant me is that Buddhu. Buddhu and Buddha are my two different states of being. Buddha and Buddhu are not an outer comparison. It is an inner comparison of you. Buddhahood is an enlightened state of your being.

Q: How can a Zen parable help you?

A: A disciple asked a Zen Master, what if Buddha comes in your way? “Chop his head”, replied the Zen Master. While leaving in the evening after the Bodhi session, the Zen Master bowed before the statue of Buddha and said, “This guy has given us that teaching.”

Q: Who is a Lama?

A: Lama means a spiritual teacher in Tibetan Buddhism. ‘Dalla Lama’ is not a Lama. You can not be a broker of the Divine. Beware!

Q: What is Buddha’s message?

A: While departing this mortal world, Buddha said, “Appo Deepo Bhava.” Be a light unto yourself. Happy Buddha Purnima!


Tip!!

Comparison is of the Monkey mind. Monk mind means that this comparison ceases within you. You attain Shunyata. Every individual is unique. Every individual is a potential Bodhisattva. Buy Me a Coffee


Every individual is a potential Bodhisattva. Every Lama has to do that teaching. It is just your realization. Lama means a spiritual teacher in Tibetan Buddhism. ‘Dalla Lama’ is not a Lama. You can not be a broker of the Divine. Beware!
