Hi from Gold Coast, Australia

Post by Noël »

It's taken a long time to reach here :buddha1: and after reading the rules :rules: I feel that it would be wise :sage: for me to say less :| and listen up :reading: because I feel I'm in for a huge learning curve :geek: and I don't want to blow it by being obnoxious :evil:

"highly objectionable or offensive; odious: obnoxious behavior, annoying or objectionable due to being a showoff or attracting undue attention to oneself: an obnoxious little brat." Archaic. exposed or liable to harm evil, or anything objectionable. Obsolete. liable to punishment or censure; reprehensible."
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/obnoxious

Synonyms for obnoxious
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/obnoxious
The synonyms for obnoxious are all the things that a good Buddhist doesn't want to be that sometimes can manifest and hopefully the lesser the better until we have the life condition of Buddha/ enlightened one, a knower as our dominant state of mind in our lives and heal the world of suffering minds but in the mean time those of us like myself who aren't there yet can share from the glimpses of eternal enlightenment that we have experienced and that the Buddha teaches throughout the sutras

I'm an independent practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism who has had past experiences with various Tantric, Vedantic and Buddhist schools and looking forward to having and sharing deeper awareness through discussion

I feel that it would be wise :sage: for me to say less :| Hopefully this is not too much too soon... Tcare

Hi and welcome!
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

Somehow I suspect you'll fit in just fine.

Welcome.
1.The problem isn’t ‘ignorance’. The problem is the mind you have right now. (H.H. Karmapa XVII @NYC 2/4/18)
2. I support Mingyur R and HHDL in their positions against lama abuse.
3. Student: Lama, I thought I might die but then I realized that the 3 Jewels would protect me.
Lama: Even If you had died the 3 Jewels would still have protected you. (DW post by Fortyeightvows)
