- Do you believe this world you are in, is an illusion, false?
- Even though we are called Buddhist, if we do not know the Truth, we are not
Buddhists - This dhamma we are talking about is very very rare
Sad thing is that, you will be able to hear such only a short period - You go to heavens or Brhama lokas not after death
It is when you are alive in this life, it is in your thoughts all worlds (lokas) exist.
Seeing this is not easy - We have experiences, otherwise we will not tell this way
- Dhamma we are expressing is what we have known experientially
One day you will know the Truth through your own experience, You should
recognize the Truth, then experiential knowing will happen - That worldly pleasures that you are seeing through external things, through
houses and properties, through career, money, will not last
But, the freedom, bliss attained by knowing the reality of mind, by recognizing
the Truth, by detaching from the external, is everlasting - This is not after death, while living
How do you know what happens after death, when you are already dead - The lokas you are imagining do not exist externally
See all through your own mind
So long as you do not know the supreme Truth you are like a blind person
Born as a blind
Live as a blind
Die as a blind, Do you like this? - So long as you do not know the Truth, you are in darkness of ignorance birth
- after death
- As a Kalyana Mithra what we can do is only to convey this Truth to all
This body we are bearing will become earth any moment - Having recognized that supreme Truth, we can only convey this to all, that is
