Dear Lisa,


This I received from Banthe in Sri-Lanka:

How to Meet Buddha Metteyya:

If we are talking pure Buddhism, the future is only illusions.
So how can one predict the Last Buddha in this eon ?

To all or none,

Buddha in his great wisdom ,gave us the chance of choosing our own personnal Path.
This is what I do.A bit of Thera,a bit of Mahayana,a bit of Tibetan.What is important to me ,is that I am not stuck in Dogmas,rules etc.I walk THE PATH ,I chose.On this day Nov/19 th
time 19.12.Oups it is already past:)

May you find your path.Tonite will be doing research on one word ,
that may change again my steps on the path.Freedom of choice,what a gift,from the Oneness.

To all or none,

Tonite, going to assist in a conference on past lives,in a
nearby hotel.One has to be open minded and not make a conclusion ,before hearing what the speaker will come out with.
I know it will be on rebirthing ,something that was very cool 20 to 25 years ago.
A Mind is like a parachute,it only works when it opens.

To all or none,

In the many lineages in Mahayana,There exist 8 consciousness as previously written
They are
1:Store consciousness,
2-Manas
3-Mind consciousness
4-Sense consciousness that is composed of the 5 senses.

Some other Mahayana lineage speak of only 6 consciousness.

I myself prefer 8.


According to the traditional interpretation, Vasubandhu states that there are eight consciousnesses:

##Five sense-consciousnesses,
##Mind (perception),
##Manas (self-consciousness),[23]
##Storehouse-consciousness.[24]
WHat is written Under my choice is the source of my findigs
on Wiki and Thich Nhat Hanh book Understanding our Mind.

nota bene ,I finally found what Manas where.

To all or none,
In the future posts,I will be using ,the word seeds,as preached by TNH. In mansworld these can be compared to programs ,that are captured by the senses 5 The sixth Being Mind itselp .

So we will be speaking how seeds work in Buddhism.

Craving is the Cause of Suffering! An effort should be aroused to realize:
No Craving is the End of Suffering

Taṇhā

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taṇhā (Pāli; Sanskrit: tṛṣṇā, also trishna) is a Buddhist term that literally means "thirst," and is commonly translated as craving or desire. Within Buddhism, taṇhā is defined as the craving or desire to hold onto pleasurable experiences, to be separated from painful or unpleasant experiences, and for neutral experiences or feelings not to decline. In the first teaching of the Buddha on the Four Noble Truths, the Buddha identified taṇhā as a principal cause in the arising of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, dissatisfaction). Taṇhā is also identified as the eighth link in the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination.
