said the Buddha when he was living at Gaya, at Gayasisa, shortly after his enlightenment. around 528 BCE at the age of 35, after meditating for 49 days under the Bodhi tree.
According to an AI generated answer “The sermon systematically deconstructs human experience into the six sense bases (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind).
For each sense, the Buddha declares that the organ, its object, the resulting consciousness, the contact, and the feelings arising from that contact are all “burning.” eg
The Fuel: The fire is fueled by the Three Poisons (also called the Three Fires):
Greed/Lust (Raga): The craving for pleasant experiences.
Hatred/Aversion (Dosa): The rejection of unpleasant experiences.
Delusion (Moha): The ignorance of the true nature of reality.
The Consequence: The burning results in the inevitable suffering of birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair.
The text emphasizes that the “world” is not the physical planet, but the phenomenological world constructed through these burning sensory interactions.
As long as one clings to these sensations, the fire continues to consume.”
Cobain – reached Nirvana by getting out of Nirvana
The path to nirvana is the extinguishing of these fires according to the text. Fair enough, but what is Nirvana, apart from being a 90’s grunge band whose singer allegedly shot himself in the head at the beginning of April in 1994? I suppose Cobain had successfully blown out all his flames when he blew out his brains. That was a quick solution to an age old problem.
The internet says that In all forms of Buddhism, “Nirvana is regarded as the highest or supreme religious goal. It is often described as the unconditioned or uncompounded, meaning it is beyond all forms of conditionality — not subject to change, decay, or the limitations of time and space.”
There you have it. It’s kind of like a level beyond human comprehension, but we don’t really know what it is, which I think is a good thing. It’s gonna be a surprise if, and when we do find out.
No surprises in the events of the day here on this plane of existence. It’s all World Cup madness, interspersed with unwelcome strangers violently attacking indigenous people in the UK. As much as I hate to point this out at the risk of being called a racist, I’m just calling it as I see it. Ignore what’s happening at your peril I would say. It’s not going to stop unless you do something about it.
Like that’s always worked. It’s not for them to say, actually.
Down at the ABC TV network in Australia they have a new series called “Stuff the British Stole”. It’s host is a smarmy overweight, dopey looking, mixed race imbecile called Mark Fenning
“Stuff the British Stole” is a co-production of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which seems fitting given that these two Commonwealth countries are trying to outdo one another in how far they can go towards destroying civilization in their respective domains.
This rotten excuse for a show sneeringly wanders about the globe delivering anti white lectures based on conversations with various ethnic groups who tell us how stupid/bad the British were. This involves supposed things such as tea, which apparently the British “stole” from the Chinese or the Indians or whoever else makes the claim, I didn’t watch the whole thing. I saw a Chinese woman implying that it was dumb and possibly a hate crime to put sugar and milk in tea. I guess I’m dumb too, then.
16th century flush toilet invented by an Englishman. Still hasn’t caught on in many places
Interestingly, at least in the episode I briefly watched, it doesn’t ever talk about the things that the British contributed to these hell holes. Things like sanitation, running water, modern medicine and electricity to name a few. This is the kind of subtle demoralizing programming that goes on all day long in these domestic terrorist organizations such as the ABC and the CBC. It’s constant gas lighting and the attempted normalization of a globalist, corporate one world, no borders, coffee colored hell scape.
The World Cup, brought to you by Brawndo
In fact that’s what the World Cup is totally about. You think you’re rooting for your own country, but it’s Adidas, Coca Cola, Aramco, Visa and Qatar Airways that you’re supporting, along with multi racial western teams, most of which have players and coaches that are not from the countries that they supposedly represent. The top tier sponsors are plastering their names all over these bought and paid for mercenaries, and because it’s all about money, there are many, many levels of sponsorship below that. But hey, the Socceroos just beat El Tri (Mexico). Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy! Don’t forget to vote now.
Good Day
We went to see Nirvana, they were great!
