- COMPREHENSION OF NOT-SELF - Theories about the self: ... Ordinary people who have not yet come to a personal, empirical understanding of the true nature of mental and physical phenomena have a very deep-seated belief there is a self withing the body... ... In order to refute this belief in a self, the Buddha explained in discourses such as 'Anattalakkhana Sutta' that: "Bhikkhus, form is [not-self]. For if Bhikkhu, form were self, this form would not lead to affliction, and it would be possible to have it of form: "Let my form be thus; let my form not be thus."... ... When moving forward, ignorant people delude themselves that is is the self that moves, or that it is the self that accomplishes the movement, or that it is "I" who moves... ... Who feels? There is not any individual, being, or person who feels. Thus one realizes that feeling itself is what feels pleasant sense objects and so on. We conveniently say with regard to the appearance of feeling, "I feel."... - Mahasi Sayadaw #Buddha #Buddhism #Dhamma #wisdom #Mindfulness #Spiritual #noself #MahasiSayadaw #insight #vipassana #scripture #Truth #awakening #Consciousness #illumination #positvevibes #goodvibrations #energy #Enlightenment #om #namaste #yogalife #feeling #meditation #meditator #monday #goodevening #blogger #lifeforce #Knowledge

So in reality, Presence is empty and non-local. It cannot be located, it cannot be found, it cannot be pinpointed even as 'here' or 'now'. It cannot be grasped in any way, because there is no core or essence to Awareness. There is always only dependently originated appearances, that alone is Presence which is unlocatable, ungraspable, unfindable in any way whatsoever. Therefore we must not only dissolve the construct of "Who", even the more subtle construct of a "Where" and "When" must be dissolved for true liberation. When this is seen, the subtle tendency to seek an inherent source/awareness/presence is then allowed to be dropped, and in place of that seeking tendency is the effortless and natural spontaneous manifestation of interdepedent origination.

Many of us are barely awake. We're living in the world, but we can't really see it; it's as though we're sleepwalking. To wake up first of all is to wake up to the beauty of the Earth. You wake up to the fact that you have a body and that your body is made of the Earth and sun and stars. You wake up to the fact that the sky is beautiful and that our planet is a jewel of the cosmos. You have an opportunity to be a child of the Earth and to make steps on this extraordinary planet.

Second, to wake up means to wake up to the suffering in the world. You wake up to the fact that the Earth is in danger and living species are in danger. You want to find ways to bring relief, healing, and transformation. This requires a tremendous source of energy. If you have a strong desire in you, a mind of love, that is the kind of energy that will help you do these two things: wake up to the beauties of the planet to heal yourself and wake up to the suffering of the world and try to help. If you have that source of strength in you, if you have that mind of love, you are what can be called a buddha in action.
