Inquire towards Selflessness and Non-self, Diversities and Non-duality in an alternative way

All the different words are made of the combination of different characters or alphabets and components.

'Selflessness' is a word that is made of the combination of 's', 'e', 'l', 'f', 'l', 'e', 's', 's', 'n', 'e', 's', 's'.

Each character has to be different from one another ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'y', 'z', and the many different symbols), even if one single character/alphabet exists under multiple replication within a word, where each replication of the same character/alphabet has its own different function/duty/responsibility in any word, to be what they are and functioning as what they are. (The inevitable and essential existence and function of Diversities, as well as each and everyone are uniquely different from one another, and having their own particular duty and responsibility, even if they are coming from the one same parental family ancestry, or community, or tribe - Diversities exist within the one same body, or family, or community, or tribe, not to say, in the many different bodies, or families, or communities, or tribes)

'Selflessness' is also being formed by the different components of 'self', 'less', and 'ness' that are under different sounds or pronunciations being in that respective order. 

If one of the characters/alphabets/components in any word is missing, and if they are not in that particular order, it cannot and doesn't exist and function as what it is.

Similarly, each component is formed by the different characters or alphabets. If one of them is missing, and if they are not in their respective order to form any particular component, it cannot and doesn't exist and function as what it is.

The different orders, or positions, or appearances, or characteristics, or functions, or sounds/pronunciations, are neither superior nor inferior. (Non-duality, Neither good nor bad, Neither right nor wrong, Neither pure nor impure, Neither positive nor negative, Neither prideful nor shameful, Neither meaningful nor meaningless, Neither joyful nor joyless, Neither deserving nor non-deserving, Neither more important or less important, Neither useful nor useless, and so on)

Without the existence of each character or alphabet that come together to form the combination of the many different characters or alphabets, to work together and inter-supporting one another to be forming the different components, that also need to work together and inter-supporting one another to be forming the word, the word cannot and doesn't exist as what it is.

'Selflessness' doesn't mean anything until it is being given a particular meaning to be attaching unto it, to describe it.

Similarly all kinds of 'words' don't mean anything until they are being given respective or different 'meanings' unto each of them. All the different 'meanings' being given to each of them are not who or what they are. The different 'meanings' don't belong to the different words, and vice versa. (Selflessness and Non-self)

The existence and function of the each and different characters/alphabets, or components, or words, or sentences, doesn't belong to themselves. (Non-self)

Just the existence of one character/alphabet alone, it cannot and doesn't do or create anything. (Limited and Conditional)

Just the existence of many different characters/alphabets being what they are, but if they don't work together or inter-supporting one another, they cannot and don't do or create anything.

Just the existence of one single component alone that is being formed by the different characters, it cannot and doesn't create the many possibilities of many different 'words' that will be given respective or different 'meanings' unto each of them.

Just the existence of one single word alone with one or many different meanings, it cannot and doesn't create one particular sentence that give rise to one or many different 'meanings', or 'expressions', or 'understanding', or 'interpretations', or 'functions'.

With the existence of the many different words that work together and inter-supporting one another, they can be forming a sentence that gives rise to one or different 'meanings', or 'expressions', or 'understanding', or 'interpretations', or 'functions'.

Just the existence of one single sentence alone, it cannot and doesn't create the many possibilities of the one single combination of the many different sentences that work together and inter-supporting one another, that also give rise to the many different combinations of the many different sentences that gives rise to one particular or many different 'meanings', or 'expressions', or 'understanding', or 'interpretations', or 'functions'. The many different 'meanings', or 'expressions', or 'understanding', or 'interpretations', or 'functions' don't belong to all the different sentences and the different combinations of sentences, and vice versa. (Selflessness, Limitation, Conditional, Non-self)

Different characters/alphabets, different components, different words, different sentences, different languages, and the different 'meanings' or 'functions', are evolving or changing, under the influence of different conditions and situations, and all kinds of changes don't belong to all and everything. (Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, Non-self)

Without the intentionless attributeless instinctive power of creation/combination/forming/working together/inter-supporting one another, for all and everything to be existing and functioning as what they are, nothing can exist. No character/alphabet. No component. No word. No sentence. No meaning. No expression. No understanding. No interpretation. No function. (Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, Non-self)

Different minds have different idea, or interpretation, or understanding towards the meaning of 'Selflessness'.

'Selflessness' or the meaning of 'Selflessness' is just what it is. It is neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative, neither liberating nor hurting.

It can be something 'good' and 'positive' and 'liberating' for certain minds, and it can be something 'bad' and 'negative' and 'hurting' for certain minds.

It can be translated into many other different languages of different characters/alphabets/components/words that look and sound completely different from one another, but they all carry the one same 'meaning' that might be interpreted or understood differently by different minds under the different degrees of the power and the purity of intellectual reasoning and/or under different intentions. (Selflessness and Non-self, Limited and conditional)

All the characters or alphabets, or all the components, words, and sentences, are selfless (I-less), devoid of the infinite permanent independent existence of 'I' or the finite impermanent non-independent non-existence idea of 'I'. (Selflessness)

If they are not selfless (regardless of infinite 'I' or finite 'I'), if there is either the infinite permanent independent existence of 'I' or the finite impermanent non-independent non-existence idea of 'I', then it will be just like in the world of human beings that are functioning under the false illusive impression of the finite impermanent non-independent non-existence idea of 'I' in the restless impure egoistic modification of the mind (Ignorance, consists of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restless thoughts activities/thought current), there will be constant hurtful arguments and conflicts among the different characters/alphabets, or the different components, or the different words, or the different sentences, ceaselessly hurting against one another -

"I am so proud to be who and what I am."

"I am more superior and important than all the others." 

"I am so proud to be one of the different characters of this word, and we all should be so proud to be the characters of this word."

"This word belongs to us and we belong to this word."

"We should be patriotic towards this word that belongs to us, as that is who and what we are."

"We need to protect and defend this word and all of us."

"We are different from all the other words, and we are more superior than the other words."

"The other words are belittling, humiliating, and insulting our word. We all should be offended and angry and hating and hurting towards all the other words."

"I am the one that should be in front of everyone."

"I am the one that should be the head/leader/authority of everyone."

"All and everyone must surrender and obey to my commands and rules, and gratifying all my wishes and desires."

"I prefer to be here and not there."

"I deserve to be here, and this one and that one don't deserve to be here."

"I like and agree with this one, and I dislike and disagree with that one."

"I don't want to be beside this one and that one."

"I hate this one and that one."

"I want to get rid of this one and that one."

"That one has just pushed me, and I will push it back to revenge."

"It pushed me once, but I will push it more than once to show that I am stronger and more powerful than it."

"I need to gang up with this one to get rid of that one."

"I am more deserving and more beautiful and higher class than this one and that one."

"I am less deserving and more ugly and lower class than this one and that one."

"I am so hurt and angry because this one says that I am bad and that I don't deserve to be here as what I am because of my look, my shape, my size, and my colour."

"I am so jealous and unhappy towards that one because it is there and I am here, and it has friends on both sides but I only have one friend on this side."

And so on.

The existence and function as well as the respective or different 'meanings' of all sentences doesn't belong to all the sentences themselves, and vice versa. (Non-self)

Similarly, the existence and function of all words, all components, and all characters/alphabets doesn't belong to all these themselves, and vice versa. (Non-self)

The existence and function of all characters/alphabets, all components, all words, all sentences, all languages, all kinds of names and forms of sentient and non-sentient living beings and non-living objects, are all Selfless, Impermanent, Limited, Conditional, and Non-self.

The world of all kinds of names and forms doesn't belong to anyone or anything, and vice versa.

The universe, the infinite space, the planets, the stars, the suns, the moons, the planet earth, the lands, the continents, the oceans, the mountains, the resources, the water, the air, the sky, the nature, the plants, the animals, the birds, the insects, the living organisms, the non-living objects, the energy, the elements, all and everyone and everything don't belong to anyone or anything, and vice versa.

The life existence doesn't belong to anyone or anything, and vice versa. 

The body and mind doesn't belong to anyone or anything, and vice versa. 

The universal consciousness that enable all minds to be conscious/aware doesn't belong to anyone or anything, and vice versa.

All and everyone and everything respect one another being what all and everyone and everything are, momentarily existing and functioning and inter-supporting one another as what all and everyone and everything are, sharing this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

However, under the influence of ignorance under the presence of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness in the minds of human beings and other sentient living organisms that come with the function of 'the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mechanism or faculty', there arise all kinds of unnecessary evitable egoistic hurtful destructive ideas and activities inflicting against one another, that hurt and destroy all and everyone and everything, under the influence of corrupted egoistic thinking, beliefs, values, practices, desires, aspirations, ambitions, and visions, that is both fed by and feeding egoistic attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, that give rise to separateness, discrimination, possessiveness, sense of belonging, sense of self esteem and self worth, sense of community pride and superiority or community shame and inferiority, protectiveness, offensiveness, defensiveness, selfishness, superiority and inferiority, pride, shame, jealousy, anger, hatred, fear, discontentment, and greed, on top of the intentionless attributeless survival instinct that is essential for life maintenance, which all that can be over-rid or transcended by the minds that have attained direct self realization towards the truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self, where the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind is not being determined or over-powered by all that, or not being the slave of all that, and stops hurting oneself and others and the surrounding environment.

Even if all and everyone pronounce any of the alphabets or components or words differently from one another, it doesn't affect, or change, or determine, or damage all the alphabets, components, or words being what they are, as they are.

Even if all the different minds can be interpreting and understanding the different words differently from one another, it doesn't affect, or change, or determine, or damage all the different words and their meanings being what they are. (The truth of all and everything is still what it is, regardless of whether the different minds believe or disbelieve, agree or disagree with, like or dislike, desire or don't desire, think or don't think, feel or don't feel, behave or don't behave, understand or don't understand, know or don't know, aware or aren't aware towards the truth of all and everything. It doesn't affect, or change, or determine, or damage the truth being what it is.)

No matter what kind of different function, duty, and responsibility under different names and forms, conditions, experiences, personalities, interests, talents, and skills that all and everyone has in this momentary selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence that is non-self, these are the basic understanding for all and everyone to be sharing this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything in peace and harmony.

Without this basic understanding, it is exactly like what has been happening and is still happening in this world, the unnecessary existence of all kinds of man made madness and suffering that can be avoided, that don't need to be there at all.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free. 

Inquire towards the reasons behind all kinds of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, and manipulation

Firstly, the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance are unaware of the presence or existence of ignorance in themselves. And they perceive/refer/understand towards 'ignorance' as something evil, or bad, or wrongful, or inferior, or shameful, or shortcoming, or weakness, or sinful, or bad karma, or punishable, or humiliation deserving, and hence, they would feel humiliated, belittled, or offended, if they are being acknowledged by others about the presence or existence of ignorance in themselves.

The minds that are aware of and acknowledging towards the presence or existence of ignorance in themselves, that understood that ignorance is merely a normal and common manifestation of all selfless and restless modification of all minds, that ignorance (the presence of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restless thought activities/thought current) is not something evil, or bad, or wrongful, or inferior, or shameful, or shortcoming, or weakness, or sinful, or bad karma, or punishable, or humiliation deserving, they won't feel humiliated, or belittled, or offended, if they are being acknowledged by others and themselves about the presence or existence of ignorance in themselves.

It is the same reason that is why the minds that are not intelligent enough to be knowing and understanding the different degrees of intelligence in all and every minds, while they strongly think and believe and desire that themselves are highly intelligent, and that they are more intelligent than many other minds, and they would feel humiliated, or belittled, or offended if they are being pointed out or acknowledged that they are not as intelligent as what they would like to think and believe and desire themselves to be.

The minds that are intelligent enough to be aware of the different degrees of intelligence in all minds, including in themselves, they won't feel humiliated, or belittled, or offended, if they are being acknowledged by others and themselves as not highly intelligent, that they might not be intelligent enough to know and understand certain things or many things, that there are many things are beyond their knowledge and understanding, while at the same time, they can purify the function of the intellect, and develop a higher degrees of intellectual reasoning power to be attaining unlimited knowledge under better, or correct, or absolute understanding, to be knowing and understanding more and more things that they don't know and don't understand in the present moment NOW.

Secondly, most minds are being conditioned to be fearful towards doubting and questioning, not to say, to be investigating and inquiring the truth about many things, especially towards their own particular inherited and/or adopted belief, traditions, values, and practices, and towards their elders or teachers and/or leader or authority.

Doubting, questioning, reasoning, investigating, or inquiring towards the truth of all and everything, have been being oppressed and suppressed or prohibited under the many worldly egoistic beliefs, values, and practices, that are full of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, justification, and manipulation, being generated under the instinctive urge and conscious desire of the many minds to be in control of everything that are related to one's own existence, as well as to be controlling/manipulating others and everything to be in certain way or not in certain way, in accordance to one's desire and don't desire, and to justify their own ignorance of being ignorant towards many things that they don't know and don't understand, as well as to justify their own behavior, actions, and reactions that are unreasonable and hurtful or destructive unto themselves and others and the surrounding environment.

Doubting, questioning, reasoning, investigating, or inquiring towards the truth of all and everything, is being perceived by certain minds as a threat towards many existing egoistic beliefs, values, and practices, because the minds know that all these egoistic beliefs, values, and practices are made of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, justification, and manipulation, but it can give them certain power of control/manipulation.

Most minds are not aware of themselves are being conditioned by the existing beliefs, values, and practices in their mind that has been accumulated not only from the inherited genetic traits of their particular parental ancestry lineage, but even more so, coming from the surrounding all and everyone and everything that they come in contact with, consciously and/or unconsciously, to think in certain way, to reason in certain way, to evaluate all and everything in certain way, to behave, act, and react in certain way, to feel or don't feel in certain way, to desire or don't desire in certain way, or to live life in certain way.  

Thirdly, due to the many previous generations have been undergoing the oppression and suppression towards the growth or the development of intellectual reasoning power, even if they still have the function of cognitive and intellect to be learning and knowing and accumulating all kinds of information, knowledge and skills, the many minds have either lost the self-initiative or basic instinct to be doubting/questioning/reasoning/investigating/inquiring towards all and everything, or the intellectual power of reasoning is insignificant even if they have tried to reason and understand something, or the intellectual reasoning faculty is being contaminated and conditioned by the existing beliefs, values, and practices that are full of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, and manipulation, as well as many minds in the present moment NOW, are continuously being oppressed/suppressed/prohibited by the family/community/authority to be doubting, questioning, reasoning, investigating, or inquiring towards the truth of all and everything, under intense fear towards possible painful punishment.

All kinds of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, and manipulation are generated by the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance. They exist in all and everywhere, at all levels, in the thinking, in the modification of the mind, in oneself, in the family, in the relationships with all and everyone, in each community, and among the diverse community of the world.

In fact, there are many minds welcome, agree with, and desire the existence of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, and manipulation in their life existence and in their relationship with all and everyone, to feel that they are in control of their own existence, as well as to feel that they can be controlling (manipulating) all and everyone and everything to be or not to be in certain way, in accordance to their desire and don't desire.

Almost all and everyone are living and functioning in lies or untruthfulness, or hypocrisy, story telling, and manipulation all the time, and they think and believe that they (the personal and group relationship/interaction with all and everyone, or the mass community of many diversities) cannot live or function anymore if under the presence of truthfulness, or under the absence of lies, hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, or manipulation, because most mind are egoistic, impure, and restless, where they can't even deal with themselves, that they don't like the truth of themselves, that there are many things that they disagree with, dissatisfied, disappointed, dislike or hate, and don't desire about themselves, that they can't accept and love themselves as they are, and that they don't even want to know the truth of themselves, or present themselves to the world as they are, while create many idealistic images for themselves that they prefer, agree with, like, and desire.

If human beings really desire or wish for a better and healthier, a more peaceful and harmonious living environment for the next and next generations to come, the world needs to be free from all these impure egoistic ideas and practices.

Even if the existence of all kinds of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, and manipulation might be giving some sorts of justification and comforting element to the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance, for them to feel that they have certain power of control (manipulation) over themselves and others, to justify what is unknown to them, and to justify certain unreasonable and hurtful happening, event, affair, behavior, action, and reaction, but all that are indeed contributing towards deeper or stronger ignorance, than to help to weaken, thin-out, or annihilate ignorance in all minds.

The minds that are free from ignorance, they don't need any kind of justification for anything, or to be comforted by anything, not to say, something that is in the form of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, or manipulation.

For the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance, the truth or truthfulness appears to be something painful/disagreeable/unpleasant/undesirable/bad/wrong, and is hurting them and their relationship with all and everyone, that is jeopardizing their business affairs and dealings in the world of commercialism that mainly built on hypocrisy/untruthfulness/manipulation, as well as hurting their existing belief, values, and practices, where they feel 'powerless' or 'not in control', if they cannot control/manipulate their own selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence as well as all and everyone and everything that don't belong to anyone or anything, to be the way that they desire and like it to be, in this momentary selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence that doesn't even belong to themselves (Non-self).

For the minds that are free from ignorance, the truth is absolute liberating, and it is just what it is, neither good nor bad, where it is absolutely liberating for the minds that are free from ignorance, and they stop hurting themselves and/or others and the surrounding environment, while the truth appears to be something bad and hurtful for the minds that are not free from ignorance, that love and embrace hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, and manipulation that give them a momentary limited power of control/manipulation, and they keep hurting themselves and others and the surrounding environment in the process of trying to 'control'/'manipulate' all and everything to be the way that they desire, or not to be the way that they don't desire.

The parents/the fathers/the mothers/the grand parents want to 'control' the children/grandchildren to be or not to be in certain way.

The spouse/the lover wants to 'control' the partner and the relationship to be or not to be in certain way.

The teacher wants to 'control' the students to be or not to be in certain way.

The leader of a community wants to 'control' the community to be or not to be in certain way.

The authority wants to 'control' all and everything to be or not to be in certain way.

The leader of one country wants to 'control' some other countries to be or not to be in certain way.

The leaders of all countries wants to 'control' the world to be or not to be in certain way that will give them the maximum power of control.

The business men/women want to 'control' all and everything to be or not to be in certain way that will bring them maximum profits in return.

And it has to come from the minds themselves, to be aware of and to be liberated from ignorance, or not.

The presence or existence of ignorance is merely part of the selfless manifestations of all selfless minds, that are existing and functioning under the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mechanism of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and the many selfless elements that enable the minds to be existing and functioning as what they are. It is not something evil, bad, wrong, inferior, shameful, shortcoming, weakness, sinful, bad karma, punishable, or humiliation deserving, even if it has a destructive and hurtful nature, or influence, or consequences.

Even if some minds had/have been engaging in prolonged and persevered practice of yoga and/or buddhism, and had/have attained certain degrees of understanding towards selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, however, they were/are not completely be free from ignorance yet, where there were/are still some subtle instinctive urges/desires/fear in the minds, influencing them to think and believe that they need to be upholding certain traditional cultural/spiritual belief, values, and practices that they knew/know it involved some sorts of hypocrisy, story telling, untruthfulness, and manipulation, but it will continue to give them certain limited power of control/manipulation over the mass community that are functioning under the influence of ignorance, for influencing them to desire, to behave, to act, and to react in certain way and not in certain way, that they think is the good, right, positive, and meaningful way.

That is the power of ignorance.

And that is also the freedom of all minds towards what they think, believe, feel, desire, behave, act, and react, or not. There is neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad, even if all that didn't/doesn't help the minds to be free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, but it is feeding and empowering all that.

Even the world of yoga and/or buddhism is also under the influence of certain worldly passionate egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, and practices.

The minds that are free from ignorance, they have no fear that the majority of the minds are functioning under the influence of ignorance, and that all minds need to be self initiative to activate the mind purification process, to be engaging in persevered and diligent practice of purifying the different selfless mechanisms/functions of the mind and quieting/silencing/annihilating the selfless restless impure egoistic modification of the mind, that enabling the minds to be inquiring towards the truth of all and everything without the influence of worldly passionate egoistic impure beliefs, values, and practices, to be weakening, thinning-out, and annihilating the veil of ignorance, a.k.a. the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, until self realization or TRANSCEND takes place, where the mind transcends its own selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function that is non-self, that doesn't belong to the self conscious/aware/acknowledge, perceptive, cognitive, intellectual, emotional, thinking and acting mind itself.

They don't have the desire/aspiration/vision of 'controlling'/'influencing'/'manipulating' the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance to be or not to be in certain way, although they can be performing actions as much as they can, to randomly plant as many seeds of wisdom (correct understanding) as possible, that can help the minds to be self-initiative to activate the mind purification process, to be aware of the presence of ignorance in themselves, to be developing certain degrees of correct understanding, right attitude, right attentiveness, and right effort, to be engaging in the practice that can lead towards self-inquiry and self-realization towards Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self, all by themselves, through their own initiation and effort, via self inquiry and direct self realization.

Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, blind agree/disagree, blind-glorify, blind-admire, or blind-propagate anyone or anything coming from everyone and everywhere.

"All karma (regardless of good or bad) burnt in toto (don't exist) in the state of Turiya, upon the attainment of self realization."

"The world ceased existing upon the annihilation of the mind stuff."

"All are MAYA. Brahman is real. The world is unreal."

"Reincarnation, or the wheel of ceaseless births and deaths ceased existing upon Silence." 

"Inquire the truth of everything. Attain direct experience and self realization."

All past existed and present existing gurus and buddhas (except pseudo gurus or buddhas), or all wise and compassionate saints and sages, regardless of which continent, ancestry, tribe, or cultural/spiritual background that they came/come from, they didn't and don't want/request any kind of worshiping, or glorifying, or offering, or rituals, or celebration events. They didn't/don't get offended, or insulted, or humiliated, or belittled, or angry, if the minds are doubting, questioning, reasoning, investigating, and inquiring towards the truth of the dhamma or the teachings that exists under certain names and forms that they come in contact with. In fact, that is the main essential teachings and practice and advice to all minds. The dhamma, or the truth of everything, cannot be contaminated or damaged. But the dhamma that exists under certain names and forms can be contaminated or damaged. And hence, there will come to a point that there will be the end of pure or uncontaminated dhamma as it is that exists under certain names and forms in this world. There is neither good nor bad.

That's why the highly importance of self initiation, self reliance, self effort, self inquiry, and self realization.

That's why the highly essential of the observation of dispassion, renunciation, solitude, seclusion, mental and emotional independence, and silence.

If it is something true, there is no fear or resistance, not to say, painful punishment for being doubted, questioned, reasoned, investigated, or inquired.

Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self, are always here and everywhere as they are, and all and everyone are free to doubt, to question, to reason, to investigate, or to inquire towards the truth of all these.

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here.

All and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self

The minds that want to practice yoga and/or buddhism need to inquire towards Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self.

Regardless of what people think and believe and identify themselves and others as good or bad, right or wrong, wise or ignorant, kind or unkind, selfish or unselfish, positive or negative, pure or impure, peaceful or peaceless, humble or arrogant, superior or inferior, higher class or lower class, healthy or unhealthy, and so on, all and everyone and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

Most minds, including many yoga and buddhism practitioners, might have no difficulty to know what is Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self, however, it might be challenging for the minds to know what is Selflessness.

Most minds would interpret and refer selflessness as a state or a quality of unselfishness, purity, calmness, kindness, goodness, righteousness, compassion, generosity, higher evolution of mind consciousness, or self-sacrifice for others. But selflessness has nothing to do with any kind of state or quality. 

Selflessness is not a practice. It is not the result/outcome/fruit of a practice.

It is not about a mind performs some kind of practice to become selfless, or transforming and evolving from a state of non-selflessness into a state of selflessness. One doesn't evolve into selflessness. One doesn't become selfless. All are selfless, regardless of sentient/non-sentient living beings or non-living objects, pure or impure, kind or unkind, wise or ignorant, selfish or unselfish, calm or not calm, peaceful or peaceless, free from suffering or not free from suffering, and so on.

There is this selfless mechanism of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind in the selfless physical body that is perceiving all these, acknowledging all these, knowing all these, reasoning all these, understanding all these, remembering all these, agreeing or disagreeing towards all this, liking or disliking all these, desires or doesn't desire all these, feels good or bad towards all these, or being aware of all these.

It has no difficulty to understand that 'this mind awareness' is being conscious/aware of all these, and understands that 'this mind awareness' is not the objects of awareness, and 'this mind awareness' can develop non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation towards all these.

'This mind awareness' is being aware of the restless modification of the mind. It understands that it is not the restless impermanent modification of the mind, and vice versa, regardless of pure or impure, positive or negative, happy or unhappy, selfish or unselfish, kind or unkind, passionate or dispassionate, peaceful or disturbed state of mind.

However, there might still be the notion or the idea of 'I' existing to be identifying with 'this mind awareness' as 'I'. The notion or the idea of 'I' identifies itself as "I am aware of all these. All these are not I. I am non-attaching, non-identifying, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparing, non-judging, and non-expecting towards all these. I am merely witnessing all these. All these don't determine I as who I am, and all these cannot disturb I, and I am peaceful as I am."

When the selfless mechanism of the mind stops functioning or existing, there is no such notion/idea of 'I' existing to be identifying as anything, not even the selfless universal consciousness that pervades all and everything, that enabling the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mechanism of the mind to have 'the mind awareness' to be conscious or aware of its own selfless impermanent existence and function and all these.

'This mind awareness' that has a notion or idea of 'I' asks, "What does it mean that 'there is no I', that I don't exist? I am aware of myself being aware of all these. I am thinking. I am experiencing. I am doubting. I am learning. I am understanding. I am knowing. I am remembering. I see. I hear. I smell. I taste. I sense. I feel. I feel pain. I feel happy. I feel good. I feel bad. I am performing actions. I am receiving the fruit of my actions. I am existing and I am real."

This 'I', that the conscious thinking in the mind that perceives, thinks, believes, recognizes, acknowledges, and identifies as 'I', or 'me', or 'myself', is impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self. The idea of 'I' don't even belong to itself, not to say, it doesn't belong to the selfless mind. It cannot and doesn't exist as an idea or thought in the selfless modification of the mind, if the selfless mechanism of the mind stops or ceases functioning or existing, if without the selfless support of the selfless energy and the many different selfless elements that work together and inter-supporting one another that enables the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mechanism of the mind to be what it is.

Of course 'this mind awareness' exists and is real in NOW, even if it only exists and functions for a momentary duration, and it is the one that is perceiving and experiencing all these. It is the one that is performing all kinds of actions and it is the one that receives the fruit of all its actions. It is the one that is aware of/conscious towards all these. It is the one that is seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, sensing, feeling, thinking, acting, reacting, learning, understanding, knowing, doubting, reasoning, remembering, agreeing/disagreeing, feels good or bad, and so on. It is the one that is responsible for generating ceaseless cause and effect through the physical body under its own conscious desires and don't desires, on top of some other cause and effect that are being generated under the autonomous non-conscious physical and mental activities for life maintenance functioning under the intentionless survival instinct. However, 'this mind awareness' is only a limited adjunct or a selfless impermanent limited and conditional mechanism functioning as one of the selfless mechanisms of the selfless physical body, where there is not a permanent independent infinite immortal self existence or self identity existing in the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the selfless momentary mortal body and mind, to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes or be responsible for the ceaseless cause and effect being generated by the selfless body and mind, consciously or non-consciously.

When 'this mind awareness' performs self inquiry to be inquiring towards "Who am 'I' or What is 'I'?", it is inquiring towards what is 'this mind awareness' that is functioning under the presence of the idea of 'I', that is being conscious/aware of the selfless impermanent existence and function of the mind itself, and everything that the mind perceives through the senses in NOW.

The entire existence and function or mechanism of the mind, is selfless. There is no self existence/identity of I existing in all the countless different individual selfless elements/systems/components that work together and inter-supporting one another to be enabling the selfless mechanism of the body and mind to be existing and functioning as what it is. Without the selfless support of the selfless energy and the countless selfless elements/systems/components, there is no existence and function of the body and mind.

Even if under the selfless support of the selfless energy and selfless elements/systems/components that enabling the existence and function of the body and mind to be existing and function as what it is, if without the selfless universal consciousness, there is no conscious mind awareness for the selfless mechanism of the mind to be conscious or aware of all these.

The consciousness is not the selfless mechanism of the mind. The selfless mechanism of the mind is not the consciousness. The consciousness doesn't belong to the mind, and vice versa. It is neither 'my consciousness' nor 'I am the consciousness'.

The consciousness is untouched by the impermanent changes, the cause and effect (the actions and consequences of actions), and the mortality that the selfless mind is undergoing.

The selfless mind is limited and conditioned by all kinds of limitations and conditions. 

The consciousness is unlimited and unconditioned by the limitations and conditions that the selfless mind is undergoing.

There is the selfless impermanent limited and conditional function of perceiving/cognition/knowing/recognizing/reasoning/understanding/remembering/feeling/thinking/acting in the mind. The consciousness is merely the silent witness towards all that in the selfless mechanism of the mind.

The mind has the notion or the idea of 'I', of I perceive, I know, I recognize, I reason, I understand, I remember, I feel, I think, I act, as well as I am and I am not.

The consciousness doesn't have the notion or the idea of 'I'.

All minds are different from one another. Different minds have different genetic traits, personalities, characteristics, and behavior patterns. Different minds have their own respective cause and effect, different conditions, different appearances, different intelligence, different energy levels, different reasoning power, different understanding, different desires/behaviors/actions/reactions, different experiences and situations, different actions and consequences of actions, being in different impermanent states or realms, and so on.

The consciousness in all and everything is the one same consciousness, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything. There is no 'my consciousness', 'your consciousness', 'his/her consciousness', 'our consciousness', or 'their consciousness'.

Just as the physical body and all and everything are neither good nor bad, the selfless mechanism of the mind itself is also neither good nor bad, however, under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, all minds can appear to be good or evil, wise or ignorant, pure or impure, happy or unhappy.

There is no good or evil consciousness. There is no wise or ignorant consciousness. There is no pure or impure consciousness. There is no happy or unhappy consciousness.

The selfless timeless changeless attributeless nameless formless beginningless endless intentionless actionless thoughtless infinite universal consciousness is not the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self finite mechanism of the mind that only exists and functions for a momentary duration.

The notion or idea of 'I' in the mind is merely part of the thinking or thought activities. The notion or idea of 'I' in the mind cannot identify itself as, "I am the selfless infinite universal consciousness," because it is not the selfless infinite universal consciousness.

The selfless mechanism of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind will be ceased functioning and ceased existing under a limited conditional impermanent momentary duration of existence and function.

The selfless universal consciousness is untouched by the mortality or the limited conditional impermanent momentary duration of existence and function of the selfless mechanism of the mind.

The selfless universal consciousness doesn't belong to the mind or any mind, and vice versa.

The selfless minds might perceive suffering, and needed to be free from ignorance that gives rise to the perception of suffering, and hence, the selfless minds can be practicing yoga and/or buddhism teachings and practice to be free from ignorance and suffering.

The selfless universal consciousness is untouched by the mind perception of suffering being perceived by the minds. It doesn't need to be free from ignorance that gives rise to suffering. It doesn't need to practice anything to be free from ignorance and suffering that don't exist.

Selflessness is not a state or quality. It is the truth of all kinds of names and forms, regardless of sentient and non-sentient living beings or non-living objects. Even the permanent independent infinite unlimited unconditional timeless changeless universal consciousness that pervades all and everything and the entire infinite space, is selfless. It doesn't have a self existence/identity of I to be identifying as I am infinite, or I have an infinite existence. It is not separated from infinity. The infinity doesn't have a self existence/identity of I to be identifying as I am the permanent independent infinite existence of Infinity.

All are selfless, regardless of finite or infinite, impermanent or permanent, dependent or independent, limited or unlimited.

Selflessness - What all and everything are.

There is no permanent independent infinite immortal self existence or self identity of 'I' that exists in all kinds of names and forms, regardless of sentient living beings or non-living objects (that are being formed, arising, existing, maintaining, changing, decaying, disintegrating, decomposing, and passing away under the selfless support of the selfless energy and the many different selfless elements/systems/components governed by the nature's law of cause and effect), to be undergoing the ceaseless selfless impermanent changes of the entire process of forming, existing, sustaining, changing, decaying, disintegrating, decomposing, and passing away (ceased existing) in all kinds of names and forms that cannot and don't exist or function as what they are, if without the selfless support of the selfless energy and the many selfless elements/systems/components for all and everything to be arising, changing, and passing away under respective cause and effect.

The self existence/identity/acknowledgement of 'I' in the form of thinking/thought/idea in the selfless mind, is merely a selfless impermanent limited and conditional 'I' that is non-self. It is part of the selfless mechanism of the selfless mind.

The acknowledgement and identification of, "I am practicing yoga and/or buddhism. I am a yogi and/or buddhist," is neither right nor wrong, but, it is merely the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind that is practicing yoga and/or buddhism, and it is the idea of 'I' in the selfless mind that is identifying itself as a yogi and/or buddhist.

Meanwhile, the acknowledgement and identification of "I am a yoga and/or buddhist. I am practicing yoga and/or buddhism" itself doesn't mean anything or doesn't give rise to the liberation from ignorance, and the essential practice of yoga and/or buddhism is to let go all kinds of physical/mental/emotional attachments and identifications towards all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are not 'I', that don't belong to 'I', to be annihilating the idea of 'I' and egoism of attachment, identification, craving, aversion, judgment, comparison, and expectation from the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, that will enable the thinking mind to see the truth of itself, to know Thyself, or to know the truth of the idea of 'I' and egoism and impurities and restless mind stuff occupying the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, of ceaseless changes, of countless births and deaths of ceaseless thought/idea/feeling/emotion/state after one another ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away transitioning in different realms/states/spheres within the selfless impermanent modification of the mind in NOW.

That's why the minds that truly understand and practice yoga and/or buddhism, as well as the minds that are delivering the teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism to the public, there is no idea of 'I' in the mind to be identifying with anything, not to say, there is no such acknowledgement or identification in the mind to be acknowledging or identifying as "I am a yoga and/or buddhist. I am practicing yoga and/or buddhism," or "I am delivering the teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism to the public."

Impermanence - Ceaseless impermanent changes

All kinds of names and forms, regardless of living beings or non-living objects, are constantly changing (arising, forming, sustaining, decaying, disintegrating, decomposing, passing away) during the momentary selfless impermanent existence.

Limited - All kinds of inevitable limitations

All kinds of names and forms are limited by selflessness, impermanence, condition (internal and external influential and supportive conditions, energy, and elements), all kinds of internal and external limitations/shortcomings/disabilities/impossibilities/lack of supportive elements that are not in the control of the names and forms,

The mortality, or the momentary limited duration of existence,

Time - There is only NOW. The selfless impermanent existence is always in NOW, unable to go back or move forward from NOW, while everything in the NOW doesn't stay unchanged, it is constantly changing.

Space - The selfless impermanent existence is being constraint in a particular limited name and form that is always in HERE and not elsewhere, even when the name and form can be moving/travelling. Existence is always in NOW, as it is, and in HERE, where it is. The name and form can only exist in one place in HERE in NOW, it cannot exist or appear in different places in NOW,

Causation - cause and effect - non-self - The selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and/or function of all kinds of names and forms (that exist/function, change, and ceased existing/functioning under cause and effect) don't belong to the names and forms themselves.

Conditional - Which can be formed, conditioned, influenced, modified, improved, declined, damaged, hurt, disintegrated, decomposed, or destroyed under the presence or absence of the selfless energy, elements, conditions, and situations.

The selfless existence and function, the maintenance of the selfless existence and function, the selfless impermanent changes, the possibilities/opportunities/availability of the supportive selfless energy, elements, conditions, and situations, as well as the ceased existence/function, are being conditioned and influenced by the presence and absence of all kinds of internal and external energy, elements, conditions, and situations.

Non-self - Nothing is 'I'. Nothing belongs to 'I'.

Nothing belongs to the selfless impermanent names and forms, and vice versa.

All and everything, including the existence and function of the selfless impermanent names and forms, don't belong to the selfless impermanent names and forms, and vice versa.

The selfless existence and/or function of all kinds of names and forms that is only possible under the selfless support of the selfless energy and the countless selfless elements/systems/components that work together and inter-supporting one another that enabling all and everything to be what they are, that exist and/or function as what they are under cause and effect, that also doesn't belong to the selfless impermanent limited and conditional names and forms themselves, not to say, anything else. Similarly, all kinds of names and forms also don't belong to anything, not even the selfless energy and the countless selfless elements/systems/components that support and enable the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and/or function of all kinds of names and forms. And they don't belong to the selfless universal consciousness that hosts and pervades all kinds of selfless impermanent limited and conditional manifestations in the infinite space, that enabling all and everything to be what they are, as they are, arising, changing, and passing away.

Inquire the truth of all and everything.

Do not blind-believe. Do not blind-follow. Do not blind-practice. Do not blind-agree/disagree. Do not blind-propagate. Do not blind-glorify. Do not blind-admire. Towards anyone and anything, from anywhere and everywhere.

Purify. Meditate. Inquire. Realize.

It's the freedom of all minds towards what they want to do or don't do with themselves, the selfless body and mind, or the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary non-self life existence, and whether they want or don't want to inquire towards the truth of everything.

Letting go all kinds of physical, mental, and emotional attachment and identification

The main teachings and practice of both yoga and buddhism is non-grasping, or non-attachment and non-identification as well as non-craving and non-aversion towards all kinds of names and forms, or letting go all kinds of physical, mental, and emotional attachment and identification, and all kinds of physical, mental, and emotional craving and aversion.

Unattached towards whatever the selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind perceives through the senses in the present moment NOW, that is happening now, not to say, something and anything that had happened, that is already gone, that couldn't be undone or changed, in NOW.

That is an essential practice and process to be purifying and quieting the restless impure egoistic modification of the mind, to allow the mind to reflect/contemplate/inquire towards the truth of its own selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function, as well as the truth of all kinds of names and forms and all kinds of information, teachings, ideas, or beliefs coming from everyone and everywhere, to attain direct self realization towards the truth of all and everything, as it is, under a purified and quiet mind.

Inquire the truth of everything.

Inquire towards reincarnation

Inquire the truth of everything, including all kinds of teachings coming from anyone and anywhere, including all that is here.

The main teachings and practice of Buddhism and/or Yoga, is about performing self-inquiry to be inquiring towards "Who am 'I', or more precisely, what is the 'I' that the thinking in the mind thinks and believes, or acknowledges and identifies as 'I'?

The mind needs to be engaging in diligent and persevered mind purification process to eliminate the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, that enables the mind to perform self inquiry and attain self realization towards the truth of "Who am I?", or what is the self identity of 'I' that exists in all selfless minds, without the influence of worldly egoistic ideas, attachments, identifications, beliefs, values, desires, aspirations, ambitions, visions, and practices, that also leads to the inquiry and direct realization towards the truth of all and everything that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

The basic and essential teachings and practice of both yoga and buddhism, is about non-grasping, or non-attachment and non-identification towards all kinds of names and forms, as well as letting go all kinds of existing multiple individual and group identifications with the many different qualities of names and forms, of family and community lineage and heritage, ties and connections, genetic traits, tribes, castes, gender, duty and responsibility, spiritual/cultural/religious beliefs, values, practices, desires, visions, inspirations, aspirations, ideas, feelings, emotions, knowledge, intellect, talents, efforts and the fruit of efforts, happy or unhappy and desirable or undesirable relationships/interactions/affairs/experiences/memories/imaginations/anticipations, the physical body and the thinking mind regardless of the impermanent good or bad and perfect or imperfect condition/state and the efficiency or inefficiency of the different physical and mental functions/mechanisms, the ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, titles, professions, sense of belonging, sense of self-esteem and self-worth, birth place, place of living, nationality, citizenship, possessiveness towards lands and space or buildings and objects, relationships and/or friendships accumulation, qualifications and certifications, recognition, acknowledgement, achievements, contributions, as well as all kinds of pleasurable enjoyments and/or painful sufferings, that are non-self, that don't belong to 'I', that are not 'I', and there is no permanent independent infinite immortal self existence or self identity of 'I' existing to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes of the body and mind, or to be identifying as this and that, as well as what many minds believed as ceaseless reincarnations of a permanent independent infinite immortal self existence of 'I' undergoing ceaseless reincarnations to be reincarnating into countless different life existences under different qualities of names and forms, transitioning in different realms or spheres in accordance to the endless and boundless past accumulated 'karma'.

Upon the direct self realization towards the truth of Selflessness in all and everything, one will realize towards the truth of "ceaseless reincarnations reincarnating into different qualities of names and forms transitioning in different realms" that exists in particular worldly egoistic cultural/spiritual/religious belief, values, practice, and understanding, where there is not any permanent independent infinite self existence or self identity of 'I' existing in the body and mind, to be undergoing impermanent changes, not to say, to be undergoing what many minds believed as "ceaseless reincarnations under countless different life existences of different names and forms in different realms" under particular belief, values, practice, and understanding that come with specific reason/intention/aspiration/vision, under the presence of certain intense physical, mental, and emotional attachment and identification towards certain names and forms.

The realization towards the truth of Impermanence, of ceaseless selfless impermanent changes in all and everything, enables the mind to realize timelessness, where there's neither past nor future, there is only NOW, and everything in NOW is constantly changing, where time is merely the reflection of ceaseless selfless impermanent changes/growth/decay/disintegration/activities/movements that are non-self, where there is not a continuous permanent unchanging independent self existence of an infinite immortal 'I' that exists in any kind of names and forms, to be in control of all and everything to be or not to be in certain way, where all and everyone and everything are existing/happening, changing, and ceased existing under the nature's law of cause and effect (generated by the selfless actions and consequences of actions being generated by each selfless mind and all selfless minds that had been existing and had ceased existing, as well as that are still existing, in NOW.)

There is no permanent unchanging independent self existence of an infinite immortal 'I' to be influencing or to be in control of all and everything to be or not to be in certain way, or to be responsible for the cause and effect deriving from the ceaseless selfless actions and consequences of actions being generated by the selfless body and mind, it doesn't mean that the selfless body and mind is not responsible towards all its ceaseless selfless actions and consequences of actions, that gives rise to ceaseless cause and effect. The selfless body and mind is indeed the one that is responsible for the cause and effect deriving from its ceaseless selfless actions and consequences of actions, that are influencing all and everything to be or not to be in certain way, up to certain extend, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and selfless elements for everything to be happening and changing as they are.

"All actions/activities generated by all and everyone are selfless actions/activities, regardless of wholesome or unwholesome actions or activities." Selfless actions/activities doesn't mean unselfish and wholesome actions or activities. Selflessness is completely unrelated to selfishness or unselfishness, kindness or unkindness, compassion or non-compassion, wholesomeness or unwholesomeness, constructive or destructive, hurtful or non-hurtful, good or evil, and etc. Selflessness is merely the truth of all and everyone and everything, where there is no permanent unchanging independent self existence/identity of 'I' in all and everything that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self. All selfless body and mind are performing selfless actions/activities under the presence of wisdom a.k.a. the absence of ignorance, or under the presence of ignorance a.k.a. the absence of wisdom (correct understanding), that can be constructive or destructive. - The minds need to attain direct self realization towards Selflessness to truly understand this.

"You are such a selfless person, and representing selflessness, because you did so much good and kind actions and activities for benefiting and comforting so many others who are in painful suffering in the world," is incorrect statement, even though there is nothing wrong and very good to be complimenting someone who is unselfish and has been performing many good and kind actions and activities that promote unselfishness, kindness, non-violence, peace, wisdom, and compassion in this world of many suffering minds.

All and everyone and everything are selfless, including all sentient living beings and non-living object, and even the most selfish, violent, cruel, ignorant, hurtful, destructive, and evil people in the world, are also selfless beings.

The selfless body and mind under the presence of correct understanding devoid of ignorance, can be choosing what type of action and inaction that will give rise to what type of cause and effect, that is influencing the selfless body and mind, and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, to be or not to be in certain way, to be more or less healthy or unhealthy, to be more or less peaceful or peaceless, that would be beneficial or harmful for all and everyone and everything that are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

Who or what is undergoing "ceaseless reincarnations" to be reincarnated into another existence under different names and forms, or under different physical bodies and minds, or under different life existences, before and after this particular life existence in NOW?

Only upon the mind attains direct self realization towards Selflessness, or knowing Thyself, or knowing "Who am 'I' or What is 'I'?", or knowing what is the thinking mind and the restless modification of the mind, will allow the mind to know what is "The ceaseless reincarnations transforming into many different names and forms transitioning in between different realms/spheres in NOW in this selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self life existence of a momentary mortal body and mind", that is nothing to do with "A permanent independent infinite immortal individual self existence/identity of 'I' that has been undergoing endless 'reincarnation' of ceaselessly reincarnating into countless different impermanent momentary life forms/existences/names and forms, undergoing endless loop of countless births and deaths of countless different life forms/existences/names and forms, transitioning in different realms/spheres under the influence of boundless and endless past accumulated good, or bad, or neither good nor bad, or both good and bad 'karma', or even by self 'organizing' of choosing the next body and mind to be reincarnating into," that exists in certain worldly egoistic cultural/spiritual/religious ideas, beliefs, values, intentions, desires, visions, and practices.

That is neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad.

As the thinking and belief in the selfless mind is so powerful, where it influences the mind to be or not to be in certain way (the different impermanent states of mind), where the selfless mind is indeed the one that is responsible for creating its own particular reality/realm/sphere to be in, in NOW, not in another different life forms/existences/names and forms before and after NOW.

For the many minds that believe in the existence of an immortal and infinite pure individual soul under certain belief, values, and practice, where they believe in the individual soul is permanent, independent, pure, immortal, and infinite, that is who they really are, that is the one who is undergoing ceaseless births and deaths of ceaseless reincarnations reincarnating into ceaseless and countless different life existences transitioning in different realms, unwittingly, either in accordance to the past accumulated karma (that is completely nothing to do with the pure soul that is immortal and infinite, but have been generated by the impure mind under the impure body that is finite, momentary, mortal, limited, and conditional), or being judged under the judgment of a superior entity, upon death of the impure mortal body and mind. That is the freedom of thinking and belief of all minds. There is neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad in all kinds of different thinking and beliefs. They have their own reasons to be existing as what they are.

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha 'deliberately' didn't comment or mention anything about 'the soul' that exists in many different beliefs, whether it exists or doesn't exist, whether it is something true or untrue, which that itself (non-commenting about that) alone, initiates and enables the minds to be inquiring and attaining the truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self in all kinds of names and forms, all by oneself, via one's own effort and inquiry and realization.

There is no doubt that, "The truth is always what it is, or the dhamma cannot be contaminated by anything," however, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha knew that the teachings or the dhamma that are being documented and conserved under certain names and forms, and which will be studied, propagated, interpreted, or translated by the minds that are not free from ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness, will definitely be contaminated/misinterpreted/mistranslated/manipulated by the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, as well as under certain impure intentions/aspirations/ambitions/visions, and hence, he emphasized on not having the teachings/the dhamma to be conserved/documented under any form, but only giving certain guidelines/observations for activating the mind purification and silencing process, where all and everyone must perform self inquiry to attain direct self realization towards the truth of all kinds of names and forms, or the dhamma, under a purified and calmed mind.

Buddhism is not at all about building and empowering leadership to be leading a group of followers or admirers.

Do not follow, admire, or glorify anyone and anything, not to say, do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-agree/disagree, blind-practice, blind-glorify, and blind-propagate anyone and anything.

All must learn how to purify and quiet the restless impure egoistic mind, and to perform self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of all and everything, including all kinds of 'buddhism' teachings under certain names and forms coming from anywhere and anyone. And hence, the highly importance of, "Thus as I heard" in front of all kinds of Buddhism teachings from anywhere and anyone.

During the first hand direct teachings coming from Siddhartha Gautama Buddha himself unto anyone, he taught all and everyone to inquire the truth of all and everything under a purified and calmed mind, including all and everything that came directly from him, not to say, all kinds of documented/translated/interpreted teachings that are most probably contaminated by worldly egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, ambitions, and intentions, in order to attain direct self realization towards the truth of everything (the dhamma), all by oneself, via one's own effort, inquiry, and realization, including everything that he taught to the people during his momentary life existence. He didn't and never claimed and taught to the people, "I have realized the truth. This is the truth. You must believe that this is the truth. If you don't believe in this truth, and if you have any doubt or questioning towards this truth, then it is disrespectful and insulting towards the truth and the teachers, which is really bad karma, and you will be punished, and you will suffer."

The truth of things is not a belief. The truth is still what it is, it doesn't change into something else, it is timeless, it cannot be contaminated, or altered, or damaged, or hurt, or insulted, and it never increase or decrease, regardless of the different minds thinking and reasoning under different beliefs about whether they know or don't know, agree or disagree, believe or disbelieve, practice or don't practice towards this or that about all and everything.

The teachings and practice of Buddhism and Yoga, is about engaging in the mind purification process of annihilating the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness (the veil of ignorance) to be contemplating upon and inquiring towards Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self in all kinds of names and forms, to attain direct self realization towards the teachings or the dhamma.

There is not any infinite immortal self identity that is permanent and independent existing in all kinds of selfless sentient living beings or non-living objects to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes, not to say, to be undergoing "ceaseless reincarnations" of the one same permanent independent infinite individual identity to be reincarnating into another life form or life existence, or into many different life forms or life existences under different names and forms, transitioning in different realms or spheres.

However, there is neither right nor wrong with the specific beliefs and values in particular community that gives rise to 'the traditional practice' of ceaseless intentional 'organized' reincarnations of an important 'specific individual identity of a highly important and influential leader' under specific reason/intention/aspiration/vision, where there will be repeatedly 'a chosen one' that 'has been chosen' by the existing particular leader before the end of this mortal momentary life existence, as well as that 'will be found and identified' by the committee members of the community after the death of that particular leader, to be carrying the highly important duty and responsibility of upholding the influential power of leadership under the one same individual identity, that gives certain degrees of continuous power of leadership, guidance, comfort, and encouragement to that community that had and has been undergoing certain ongoing difficulties physically, mentally, and emotionally for a prolonged extended period, after the death or ceased existence of each and every limited and conditional mortal life existence of 'the one same identity of that particular influential leader', that keeps coming back in another life existence to be continuously leading, guiding, comforting, and encouraging the majority of the community that are 'non-independent', that are highly dependent on a leader, that always 'need to have a leader' to be there, to lead, to guide, to comfort, and to encourage them, and to keep reminding them about non-violence, calmness, and compassion.

Obviously, this practice is not perfect. Because the community were never being taught to be independent, that they always 'not only need a leader or any leader', but even more so, they need to depend on 'that specific leader of one particular identity' to 'keep coming back in another life existence', to continuously leading and guiding the community for endless generations.

It didn't and doesn't help the community to be free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance. 

It didn't and doesn't stop the presence of fear, anger and hatred, or insecurity, bitterness and resentment towards certain individual/people/community/authority, in the majority of the community that are not free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

It didn't and doesn't help the community to be practicing the teachings of Buddhism as it is, to work diligently towards the attainment of direct self realization towards the dhamma, to be free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, which is all about to be free from all kinds of worldly egoistic individual and group attachments and identifications that attaching towards and identifying with the many different kinds of qualities of names and forms that are non-self, that are not 'I' or 'mine', that are not 'us' or 'ours', that are not who or what they are, as well as to be letting go the past affairs/events/happenings/experiences, including all that are pleasant, desirable, and agreeable, not to say, especially the ones that are being perceived as undeserving, unpleasant, painful, fearful, sorrowful, hurtful, traumatic, undesirable, and disagreeable. But instead, this practice has been either intentionally or unintentionally empowering egoistic attachment and identification towards all kinds of names and forms that the community have been identifying with as who and what they are, as well as where they belong to and what belongs to them, and what had happened, or has been happening, or is happening unto their community.

Even so, there is neither right nor wrong in this particular practice, as there are many minds that need to be dependent on a 'wise and compassionate' leader to lead and comfort them in this selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence that has so much unnecessary evitable suffering deriving from ignorance, on top of the existence of certain inevitable suffering just by being existing momentarily, selflessly, impermanently, limitedly, and conditionally, that is non-self, and that needs constant maintenance.

There is always the sense of fear, anger and hatred, or insecurity, bitterness and resentment, in all and everyone in the community that are still not free from the influence of ignorance, regardless of older or younger generations, that are directing towards specific individual or community and authority, which only will be empowering the ignorance and the by-products of ignorance in both parties.

Instead, they all can be free to be what they are and wherever they are, by developing correct understanding or wisdom that lead to unconditional peace in themselves, where they are free from egoistic attachment and identification towards any qualities of names and forms, as well as what is happening in NOW, not to say, whatever that had happened in the past, not being determined or disturbed by the ignorance and the consequences of ignorance of others, and they will no longer need to have a leader to lead them, guide them, comfort them, and encourage them, not to say, the need to have one particular leader that had already ceased existing, but had no choice to 'keep organizing' ceaseless reincarnations of its 'specific identity' in order for the non-independent community to always have a 'wise and compassionate' leader for them to be following, to be guided, to be comforted, and to be encouraged.

The chosen one, regardless of who it is (as it really doesn't matter), upon attaining certain degrees of correct understanding towards the importance of non-violence, calmness, and compassion under the teachings of Buddhism, after practicing the teachings of buddhism from young diligently, as well as learning all and everything about that specific individual identity and the highly important duty and responsibility that was given to him, which he is carrying on his shoulders since the moment of being identified as 'the chosen one', he can only teach, guide, and advice the community as much as possible, about non-violence, calmness, and compassion, to keep away from the engagement in activity or interaction that involved violence, under any conditions and situations, no matter what had happened and what is happening. And it is up to the community whether they understand, or not, and whether they can let go, or not.

If the community can understand and can let go, and move on independently, be free from all kinds of attachments and identifications, regardless of what had happened and what is happening, then there is needless of the 'repeating' existence of 'the chosen one' that has to be one of them (because of the intense egoistic attachment and identification, 'the chosen one' has to be someone from within their own particular community, or else, the community under the influence of ignorance will not have the same faith towards 'the chosen one' that is not one of them), to continue carrying that specific identity, duty, and responsibility of leading, guiding, comforting, and encouraging the majority of the community that are under the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

If the majority of the community cannot understand and cannot let go, and are not free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, where they perceived the suffering of being the victims of constant bullying, oppression, intimidation, and violence, where the majority of the community continuously need to have not only a leader or any leader, but that specific influential 'wise and compassionate' leader of that specific identity that 'has been reincarnated' many times in different life existences within that particular community, to be there continuously to lead them, guide them, comfort them, and encourage them, to constantly and continuously reminding them about non-violence, calmness, and compassion, to avoid or minimize the engagement in activity or interaction that involved violence as much as possible, then there is neither right nor wrong for continuing that 'traditional practice' of intentional 'organized' ceaseless reincarnations of a 'specific individual identity carrying a huge duty and responsibility' that has certain influential power over the community, even if it didn't, and doesn't help the community to be free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

The minds that truly practice and understand towards the teachings of Buddhism or the dhamma, they are independent and are resting in unconditional peace, being undetermined or undisturbed by the ignorance and the consequences of ignorance of others, devoid of disturbs, hurts, painful sorrow, fear, anger, hatred, insecurity, bitterness, resentment, or violence, under any conditions and situations, being free from egoistic attachment, identification, craving and aversion, judgment, or expectation. They don't need to have a leader or any leader to lead them, guide them, comfort them, or encourage them.

Not being determined or disturbed by the ignorance and the consequences of ignorance of others, or under the presence of wisdom and compassion or non-violence, or the practice of non-grasping/non-attachment/non-identification/non-craving/non-aversion/non-judgment/non-expectation, it doesn't mean that one doesn't or shouldn't move away from any abusive ill treatments of others, or one should receive all kinds of abusive ill treatments in silence, or one shouldn't or doesn't perform selfless actions that will free oneself and maybe some others from continuously be treated with abusive ill treatments by those who are under the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here.

All and everyone are dying from the moment of coming into existence

All and everyone are dying from the moment of coming into existence.

It is neither positive nor negative.

It is the truth of all and everything.

 

It is neither sorrowful nor joyful,

It's okay to feel sad and grief and mourn towards the death of someone and anyone,

And it's impermanent.

Although under the influence of ignorance and egoism,

Some people mourn the death of certain people,

While celebrate the death of certain people.

One person's death can be somebody's painful sorrow as well as somebody's joyful celebration.

Madness. 

 

"All are born to die" 

It doesn't mean life is meaningless.

It doesn't mean all lives don't matter.

In fact, "All are born to die" makes "being alive in NOW" so precious.

But more importantly,

Precious with attachment, lead to all kinds of fear and painful suffering.

Precious without attachment, lead to peace and all kinds of opportunities and possibilities for learning and understanding.

 

As long as this body and this mind is still here existing and functioning in NOW, and if there is the opportunity and possibility to be doing something for the world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, to have more wisdom, kindness, peace and happiness, to have less ignorance, cruelty, unrest and suffering, why not?

Neither anticipating nor rejecting death.

Before this body and mind stops functioning and ceased existing,

May all and everyone be free, be happy, be peaceful. Unconditionally.

Inquire the truth of everything. 

Inquire towards all the teachings of yoga and buddhism

All the existing teachings of yoga and buddhism, that are available under certain names and forms, regardless of authentic or contaminated, are existing for the minds to have a guidance, or a direction, or a subject to perform self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything.

There is neither right nor wrong in all kinds of authentic or contaminated teachings, where many of the teachings are contaminated by the many worldly passionate egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, desires, and practices.

The upmost important teaching and practice, is the engagement in the mind purification process (annihilating the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, a.k.a. the veil of ignorance) to be preparing the mind for performing self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything, free from the influence of worldly egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, practices, or desires, to be attaining direct self realization towards the truth of all kinds of existing teachings and practices in the world of yoga and buddhism, as well as in all kinds of existing beliefs/ideas/values/practices/desires/inspirations/aspirations in the world of passion and egoism, regardless of whether it is the truth as it is, or it is false information/incorrect understanding/misinterpretation/lies/story telling/fairy tales/myths/hypocrisy/justification/manipulation/propaganda, and etc, under a purified and calmed/quiet/focused mind, that enables the mind to see things as they are, where all and everything (true or untrue) are just what they are, neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, neither positive nor negative, which will allow the mind to be free, to be liberated from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.

A calmed and quiet and focused mind (attentiveness), is also neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, neither positive nor negative, as even a calmed and quiet and focused mind might not be free from evil intention and generating harmful activity, under the undisturbed and focused state of mind.

There might still be the idea of 'I' and egoism in the modification of the mind being conditioned by certain worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, or desires, to behave, act and react, even though the mind can be in a momentary state of calmness, quietness, focus, or attentiveness.

There are many well-trained soldiers are performing their task or duty of engaging in violence fighting and killing and destruction unto many other lives and things, as well as selfish power greedy ambitious prideful politicians and world leaders, or even highly intelligent and knowledgeable ambitious scientists, could be passionately engaging in many creative ideas, propaganda, manipulation, activities, dealings, and affairs that involved all kinds of selfishness, cruelty, and violence, under intense attentiveness of a calmed and quiet and focused state of mind, directing the entire energy and attention onto one single object or issue.

Similarly, intense hatred is also a form of intense attentiveness towards the object of hatred. The mind is focusing fully unto something that it hates very much, as well as focusing unto the planning about how it can hurt and destroy the object of hatred, undisturbed by all the other things and happenings in the surrounding environment.

That's why the importance of the basic correct understanding (the seed of wisdom and kindness), right effort, right attitude, and right attentiveness.

That's why the importance of non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing, non-blind agreeing/disagreeing, non-blind glorifying, non-blind admiring, and non-blind propagating.

That's why the importance of dispassion, renunciation, solitude, seclusion, silence, Satsanga (wise company) and Asanga (aloneness/devoid of company), mental and emotional independence.

That's why the importance of "I don't know and don't understand many things, and I am confused and not sure about the truth of many things," regardless of the continuous accumulation of all kinds of knowledge and experiences, and not "I know something or many things. I am highly educated and knowledgeable. I have many experiences. I did a lot of research. Needless to lecture me about what I know and don't know."

Doubt, regardless of doubting oneself or doubting others and everything, is something highly essential in yoga and buddhism, as it activates the process of self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything, to attain direct self realization towards absolute knowledge (the truth of everything as it is), and to know Thyself, be free from blind-believing, blind-following, blind-agreeing/disagreeing, blind-practicing, blind-glorifying, blind-admiring, and blind-propagating, however, it is being seen or referred as a form of badness, or wrongfulness, or weakness, or shortcoming, or failure, or low confidence/self-esteem, or lack of faith, or disobedience and disrespectfulness towards the existence of so called 'authority/superiority' which is the by-products of ignorance, or even 'sinful and punishable', under the many worldly egoistic impure beliefs, ideas, values, desires, and practices.

Similarly, to be able to step back and let go, or to not hurt others under any circumstances, is the greatest strength in yoga and buddhism, while it is being seen or referred as weakness, or humiliation, or failure, under the many worldly egoistic beliefs, ideas, values, desires, and practices.

This 'right' in the right effort, right attitude, and right attentiveness, is nothing to do with the right and wrong in the many different worldly egoistic ways of thinking, ideas, beliefs, values, and practices, or the right and the left or the center in the worldly politics and political parties.

It's about what promote wisdom (correct understanding) that gives rise to peace in oneself and in the surrounding environment, which is the highest essential or crucial supportive element for all kinds of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary, to be sharing this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, without attachment, greed, possessiveness, separateness, or discrimination.

Just as all the different individual selfless cells/bodily structures/organs/systems/components in the selfless physical body that work together selflessly that allows the body to be existing and functioning as what it is. If each individual cell/bodily structure/organ/system/component is not selfless, but is functioning under the idea of 'I' and egoism, it will be exactly like what is going on in this world of human beings, where most minds are functioning under the idea of 'I' and egoism, and hence, the world is full of destructive hurtful activities against each other - complete man made disaster, or self destruction.

Even the most ignorant impure restless minds in the world, can also be free from ignorance.

These are the basic education for all humanity, for healthy minds, for responsible and understanding human beings, for healthy environment, for self independence, for happy parents, for happy children, for happy young people, for happy adults, for happy elders, for happy family, for happy relationships, for personal peace, for peaceful and harmonious community of diversity, for world peace. All these are inter-related to one another.

Inquire the truth of everything. 

Self-righteousness that hurt and destroy all and everything out of anger, hatred, fear, and greed

It's normal and common that many minds are having the sense of pride and superiority towards their own existence, origin, background, belief, ideas, values, desires, visions, actions, and reactions, and have the sense of self-righteousness towards all and everything based on their particular way of thinking, belief, ideas, values, and desires.

Out of self-righteousness being righteous towards many things based on their own particular way of thinking, belief, ideas, values, and desires, they would hurt and destroy all and everything that they think and believe as 'bad' and 'wrong', or potentially 'hurtful' and 'destructive' unto them and what is theirs, or potential 'obstacles' obstructing them to achieve what they want to achieve, out of anger and hatred, as well as fear and defensiveness, on top of greed and possessiveness.

Out of the sense of fear and defensiveness, where they think and feel that themselves are being intimidated by the strong presence of some others, and hence, they would hurt and destroy what they think and believe is the potential intimidation that can be intimidating them, even when none and nothing is intimidating them.

Fear of being hurt or attacked by some others, one would attack and destroy the potential 'enemies' FIRST, even when the others have no intention and didn't do anything to hurt or attack anyone. 

For example, there is fear in the people towards the potential risk of could be hurt by the poisonous snakes (that have no intention to hurt anyone unless when they needed to defend themselves only if they are being disturbed, threatened, and attacked), and hence, the people want to hurt and destroy or get rid of all the poisonous snakes in the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

There is enormous greed in the minds towards possessing and hoarding land and space, food and energy resources and wealth, and endless accumulation of power and control that can gratify all their greedy desires and ambitions, and hence, they desire to invade and conquer and claim ownership towards all the land and space that they think and believe that has something or everything that they want, in order to gratify all their boundless desires, at all costs, of hurting and destroying all and everything, under the name of 'self-righteousness' and 'self-defense' reacting towards 'the existing threat upon them that is actually inflicted by their own self-righteousness, fear, and intentional annoying disturbing behavior unto the others', in order to achieve what they want to achieve.

"We are limited. We cannot be any stronger. We are not as strong as others. And so, we cannot let others to become stronger than us. We need to cause damages unto others, so that others cannot and won't become stronger than us."

There are minds deliberately generate ongoing disturbing annoying behavior unto the others that they dislike and disagree with, to provoke them to react in certain way, that would give them the righteous excuse to hurt and punish, or even destroy the others that they dislike and disagree with.

Just as certain people have fear towards poisonous snakes, and hence, they want to get rid of the poisonous snakes that are just being there as they are without any intention to hurt or intimidate anyone, and upon the poisonous snakes react under the threat of being disturbed and attacked by the people in order to be defending/protecting themselves, the people think and say, "Look. They are so bad and hurtful. They deserved to be destroyed and eliminated from the world. I am doing everyone a favor, by hurting them and getting rid of them so that they won't be able to hurt me and my family and all of you. I am doing this to defend the safety of myself and my family and all of you. Also, after we clear out all the poisonous snakes from this land, we can do whatever we want on this land and take whatever we want from this land."

The minds that have correct understanding, they respect all and everyone as they are, even if they don't agree with all and everyone. They don't possess any land or space claiming as their land or their space, because they know that all lands and space don't belong to anyone or anything. All and everyone are merely momentarily sharing this land and space with all and everything that are different from one another, that might not like or agree with one another, and that's okay. If there are some others that are non-understanding and behaving hurtfully and destructively, they would just stay away from these minds as much as possible, minimize or avoid any kind of dealing or interaction with them. Leave them alone, let them be what they are, while allowing them to be aware of their own mind and their behavior, or not.

The minds that understand, they never feel intimidated by anyone or anything, not even death, not to say, the ones that claimed to be the most powerful and influential people, or the most successful and wealthy people, and carry the highest ranking, class, title, or status in the world. They never admire or look down on anyone. They are free from superiority and inferiority. They are free from self-esteem and self-worth. They don't need to please anyone and they don't need to be pleased by anyone.

All are selfless. All are impermanent. All are limited and conditional. All will change, decay, disintegrate, and pass away, regardless of whether comfortably, gracefully, or elegantly, or not.

Reflect. Inquire. Realize.

Be free from ignorance.

Be free from self-righteousness.

Be free from fear.

Be free from greed and possessiveness. 

Be free from "I need to attack you first even before you do anything 'bad', 'wrong', 'hurtful', or 'destructive' unto me. To show you and all the others that I am strong. I can bully you, but you can't bully me. If you threaten me for bullying you, then it proves that you are bad and wrong, and you deserved to be punished for threatening me. I bully you is all out of self-defense, because I strongly think and believe that you would be bad and hurtful unto me and my family and everyone else, and so, it's totally alright and nothing wrong for me to bully you and hurt you as much as I want, so that you can't hurt me even if I am hurting you. And I want to hurt you, because I think and believe that you are bad, and you deserve punishment."

That is seriously mentally ill. Unfortunately, many minds are indeed not aware of themselves are thinking and behaving in such way. These minds are drowning in painful suffering being lost in ignorance.

"We are the good and righteous people. We need to punish and get rid of all the other bad and wrongful people in the world," and "You are bad and wrong because you don't do exactly what I want and expect you to do." That is what the self-righteous minds strongly think and believe and behave.

Such is the world of ignorance.

Ignorance is the most serious form of mental illness that cause intentional or unintentional hurtful destructive behavior unto oneself and/or others and the surrounding environment in a world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

And this ignorance exists in everywhere, where the minds are, in the family, in the relationships, in any community, or in any dealing and affair.

None can remove the ignorance in others.

It's the freedom of the minds towards whether they are aware of ignorance in themselves, or not, and whether they want to be free from ignorance, or not.

It's the freedom of all minds to behave the way that they are, and it's their own responsibility towards all their behaviors/actions/reactions and the consequences of all that.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.

Focus and live in NOW

Both the teachings of yoga and buddhism emphasized on be present and focus in NOW, or living in the present moment, by letting go of the past and the future, focusing at what is here in the present moment, without attachment/identification/association or grasping, without craving or aversion, and without judgment or expectation.

Upon the mind realizes and understands towards the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self in all kinds of names and forms, or attains direct realization towards the one same universal consciousness that is timeless, changeless, beginningless, endless, attributeless, nameless, and formless beyond all kinds of names and forms, then naturally and effortlessly, this mind will be living in NOW, resting upon the selfless universal consciousness, being aware of all these while not being determined or disturbed by all these, where it is free from being determined or disturbed by the past pleasant and unpleasant experiences, towards its own imperfection/limitation and/or other's imperfection/limitation, even if it's something existing/happening in the present moment NOW, not to say, something that existed/happened in the last moment, or in the last few seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years ago, and free from fear and worry towards the unknown or uncertainty, or the future that doesn't exist in NOW.

This mind is devoid of craving and aversion towards what it is experiencing in the present moment NOW, without attachment towards the existing pleasant and unpleasant experiences.

It is devoid of craving towards the past pleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of aversion towards the past unpleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of craving towards experiencing pleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

It is devoid of aversion towards experiencing unpleasant experiences that are not existing or don't exist in the present moment.

The past (experiences/happenings/events/affairs) cannot be undone.

The future is merely some imaginations/anticipations, that doesn't and cannot exist in NOW. 

It is always NOW. There is only NOW. And it is changing.

The mind that understands this, it will know that there is no 'previous life' and 'next life', or 'past many lives' and 'future many lives' of a permanent independent infinite individual self existence that doesn't exist.

There is only this selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary life existence of this selfless impermanent body and mind that is undergoing ceaseless changes, that also gives rise to ceaseless new beginning of a new life of this selfless impermanent body and mind, new opportunity, and new possibility in every moment, allowing the selfless mind to be learning/inquiring/understanding towards all these selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self manifestation, in NOW.

The countless lives of ceaseless births and deaths transitioning/reincarnating in different realms are merely the reflection of the impermanent changes of the impermanent condition of the body and the impermanent state of the mind in NOW, of countless selfless cells forming, growing, ceased growing, regenerating, new cells replacing old cells, and then decaying and disintegrating, until the entire selfless bodily structure ceased functioning and existing, where there is a continuous stream of the idea of 'I' ceaselessly arising and passing away (existence and ceased existence/birth and death of every single idea/thought/feeling/emotion, and ceaselessly changing in between arising and passing away/birth and death) in the modification of the mind, under different shapes/names/forms/conditions/qualities, transitioning under different states of mind (different realms within the selfless impermanent limited and conditional modification of the mind).

Reincarnations and realms are not something that exist outside this life, this body, and this mind, or something that exist somewhere else before the beginning of this life and after the end of this life, or in some other time and space and causation, or in some other existence in some other sphere/world/universe.

Ceaseless births and deaths of countless selfless cells and ceaseless reincarnations of the countless idea of 'I' transitioning in different realms exist in NOW, in this selfless body, in this selfless mind, that is constantly changing under different conditions and states.

The life of this selfless body and mind, is only in NOW, being maintaining in NOW, constantly changing in NOW, and decaying in NOW, until it ceased functioning and existing in NOW.

That is also why this momentary life existence under the presence of conscious mind awareness that enables conscious mind evolution, is extremely precious, even though it is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, momentary, and extremely fragile. Because it can cause constructive or destructive behavior. It can contribute peace or unrest into the surrounding environment.

What the mind thinks, acknowledges, recognizes, and identifies as what and who am 'I', or the idea of 'I' identifying as this and not that, only exists in NOW, it doesn't exist beyond NOW, or before and after NOW, and there is a continuous stream of countless idea of 'I' constantly arising, changing, and passing away - impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

A happy and calmed and contented 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An unhappy and agitated and discontented 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An angry violent suffering disturbed 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A peaceful and joyful 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A kind and generous and unselfish 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An evil and stingy and selfish 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A prideful jealous 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A shameful inferior low self-worth 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An arrogant superior 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A grieving sorrowful 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A hurtful destructive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. A helpful constructive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. An offensive and defensive 'I' arising, changing, and passing away. And so on.

Endless idea of 'I' under different condition/quality/state/shape/name/form arising, changing, and passing away transitioning/inter-changing in different realms in NOW, between the realms or states of peaceful heaven (calmness and kindness/wisdom and compassion), sphere of aggressive violent Asura (violence, cruelty, jealousy, anger, and hatred), sphere of hungry ghost (discontentment, greed, possessiveness, selfishness, fear, and endless desire and craving), sphere of humanity (engagement in higher conscious evolution transcending basic survival instinct), sphere of animal (engagement in lower conscious evolution functioning under basic survival instinct), or painful suffering hell (ignorance and consequences of ignorance). All states are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary.

All kinds of reincarnations in different realms are ceaselessly manifesting/inter-changing in the selfless restless impure modification of the mind, until the annihilation of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or complete Silence of the modification of the mind, takes place.

There is neither past continuous nor future continuous permanent independent infinite self existence of 'I'. 

There are only ceaseless momentary limited and conditional ideas of 'I' that keeps arising, changing, and passing away, that only exists in the form of thinking, or thought, or idea, in the selfless modification of the mind in NOW.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional body doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional mind doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence of this body and mind doesn't belong to this idea of 'I', and vice versa.

Non-self.

If it is 'I', 'I' should be able to have full control over 'I' (the thinking/the body/the mind/the life existence) to be exactly as how 'I' desire 'I' to be, but none of these is 'I', and none of these belong to 'I', as there is no permanent independent infinite individual self existence of 'I' in all these names and forms.

There is only the selfless timeless universal consciousness beyond all kinds of names and forms, that is undetermined, undisturbed, uncontaminated, unaffected, undamaged, or unhurt by the impermanent changes in all kinds of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary. 

All and everything in NOW is constantly changing under ceaseless activities or movements as well as under the function of memory (remembering the past) and imagination (projecting the future), generates the false impression of time, as well as the past (memories/younger/better or worst) and the future (imaginations/older/better or worst).

Live in NOW.

There is no fear and worry.

There is no anger and hatred.

There is no hurt and resentment.

There are only countless new beginnings, new opportunities, and new possibilities following each thought/feeling/emotion/understanding/experience or state of mind arising, changing, and passing away, for this selfless impermanent body and mind to be learning/inquiring/understanding/independent, or not, to be wise or ignorant, to be doing something constructive or destructive, that give rise to respective consequences of actions.

Make good use of this selfless impermanent life existence to benefit all and everyone, when the body and mind is still existing and functioning, when the conscious selfless awareness, conscious selfless evolution, and conscious selfless actions are still available and possible.

The mind will realize all these, upon the annihilation of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or upon Silence of the restless mind, takes place.

Purify. Meditate. Inquire. Realize.

Inquire the truth of everything. Attain direct self realization.

Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, or blind propagating anything from anyone, from anywhere and everywhere, including all that is here.
