Buddha Consciousness is Intrinsic Awareness of Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation When you are seeing, do not conceive that your eye alone is seeing. In reality, it is the No-self process becoming that is seeing. It is the Unity of five aggregates (form,feelings, perceptions, volitions and consciousness) that is seeing. Not only the eye is seeing but also all other parts of the body and mind are directly and indirectly involved together with the internal and external sense stimuli which arouse human thoughts and feelings. The eye can not see autonomously. Without the internal and external stimuli, the eye organ can not complete the process of seeing . Seeing is not a part of independent activity separate from other activities. Seeing is Unity of all systemic parts found both inside and outside the human body. Do not fabricate the notion of I nor mine nor me which is a mirage. Do not superimpose the mirage into the engineering structure of the human body and mind. Your youness does not exist by itself or in itself; yourself does not exist by itself nor in its self. Everything posssesed by you does not exist by itself or in its self. However, do not go overboard in your philosophy of self-denial. The self cannot be denied whilst acknowledging Non-self. The self does exist in the Non-self . It is inherently not separate from the Non-self. The self is a systemic part that is not separated inherently from the systemic unbroken Whole of Non-self. If a lady put up a beautiful make on her face, and she is mentally disturbed or physically sick, the make up cannot bring out her original beauty. Have you ever seen a female meditation yogi in a meditation retreat? She looks very beautiful even though without any makeup. The light shines within and her beauty is reflected externally both physically and mentally. This is what I mean by complete natural beauty. I find that many ladies require beauty make-up before they appear in the public. The self cannot exist without the Non-self. Likewise, the Non-self cannot exist without the self. When we acknowledge negation, do not deny affirmation. The self is a part. The Non-self is the Whole. How can the part and Whole be fragmented? This is the middle way. The middle way is the ultimate reality of dependent co-arising of unity of polar poles. The self is one pole ; the Non-self is other contrary pole. The contrary poles are inseparable and are non-dual oneness Non-separation creates existence. Separation destroys existence. Likewise, the phenomena must be dissolved into the Principle to obtain an unbroken Whole of life. The relative truth must be surrendered into the absolute Truth to obtain the unbroken Whole of life. A crisis in life is a broken Whole. When the crisis is unchecked , the unbroken Whole or Totality is unchecked with wisdom of Non-self or systemic Wholeness, the Whole will fall apart . The crisis become a disaster. Financial meltdown is a crisis; financial bankruptcy is a resultant disaster. Political spring is crisis; civil war is a resultant disaster. Global warming or climate change is a crisis; excessive rainfall followed by destructive flood is a resultant disaster. Many spiritually untrained people are unkind. Unkindness is systemic risk. When unkindness intimidates and harms others , unkindness evolves into tense relationship. Tense relationship is a crisis. Tense relationship turns into violence. Violence turns into killing. Killing is a complete disaster. Why do giant insurance companies in the West go bankrupt? Too much heavy insurance claims melt the insurance companies into bankruptcy. Everything is dependently co-arising . All things are necessarily interconnected .
