"Believe nothing no matter where you read it or who said it no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense." Gautama Buddha.
P.s I am (as far as I know so far) not a Buddhist.
If the above statement is true what then can we believe - experience - ? What is common sense?
Even experience is subject to variations on a theme, e.g. something we like /approve of etc, some times we don't like/approve of at other times. Why is this? Is it to do with biology - physiological processes etc - psychology - hormonal changes - astrology - permutations of the planets - meteorology - the weather systems - or something even more mundane or esoteric.
How can we know the truth?
This is a question for you - and 'there are no truths' is not an acceptable answer - is it? :)
During the process of meditation etc (or whatever process you use) at the point where the mind is silent and the body is peaceful - Do We still exist - And if we do in what context? And if we don't where have we gone? Hmmmm.
WhO ArE YuO ? ? ? ? ?
Shanti . . . . .
