Máscara da Morte

Resumão de tudo

The Heart Sutra
as recited in the Triratna Buddhist Community
The Bodhisattva of Compassion, When he meditated deeply, Saw the emptiness of all five skandhas
And sundered the bonds that caused
him suffering.
Here then,
Form is no other than emptiness,
Emptiness no other than form.
Form is only emptiness,
Emptiness only form.
Feeling, thought, and choice,
Consciousness itself,
Are the same as this.
All things are by nature void
They are not born or destroyed
Nor are they stained or pure
Nor do they wax or wane
So, in emptiness, no form,
No feeling, thought, or choice, Nor is there consciousness.
No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind;
No colour, sound, smell, taste, touch,
Or what the mind takes hold of, Nor even act of sensing.
No ignorance or end of it, Nor all that comes of ignorance;
No withering, no death,
No end of them.
Nor is there pain, or cause of pain, Or cease in pain, or noble path To lead from pain;
Not even wisdom to attain!
Attainment too is emptiness.
So know that the Bodhisattva Holding to nothing whatever, But dwelling in Prajna wisdom, Is freed of delusive hindrance,
Rid of the fear bred by it, And reaches clearest Nirvana.
All Buddhas of past and present, Buddhas of future time, Using this Prajna wisdom, Come to full and perfect vision.
Hear then the great dharani, The radiant peerless mantra,
The Prajnaparamita
Whose words allay all pain;
Hear and believe its truth!

Bah

Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel (1929)

“Then I of yours the seeming, Ben? Your flesh is dead and buried in these

hills: my unimprisoned soul haunts through the million streets of life, living

its spectral nightmare of hunger and desire. Where, Ben? Where is the world?"

"Nowhere,' Ben said. "*You* are your world."

Inevitable catharsis by the threads of chaos. Unswerving punctuality of chance.

Apexical summation, from the billion deaths of possibility, of things done.”

8º Jhana: Ausência de qualquer percepção. Até da própria percepção.
Toda sensação deixa de ser percebida. Tudo apenas é.

So from the time, Potthapāda, that the Bhikkhu has gain the controlled perception [of the First Jhana], he goes from one stage to the next, and from that to the next until he reaches the summit of consciousness. And when he is on the summit it may occur to him: 'Mental activity is an inferior state. It would better not to be thinking. Were I to go on thinking and planning, these states of consciousness I have reached, would pass away, but other coarser ones, might arise. So I will neither think nor plan any more.' And so he does not think or plan. And to him, neither thinking nor planning, the states of consciousness he had, pass away; but no others, coarser than they, arise. So he attains Abhisaññā-nirodho [the cessation of higher-consciousness]. This is how, Potthapāda, that the attainment of the cessation of conscious takes place step by step.

7º Jhana: Vazio absoluto
Toda sensação ao surgir já foi filtrada pelos sentidos. Daonde ela vem? Para onde ela vai quando some do campo da consciência?

By passing beyond Infinite Consciousness, thinking: 'There is nothing that really is,' he reaches and remains in the Sphere of No-thingness. His former true but subtle perception of Infinite Consciousness disappears. At that time there arises a true but subtle perception of No-thingness, and he becomes one who is conscious of No-thingness. Thus it is through training one type of consciousness arises; and through training another passes away.

6º Jhana: Consciência infinita. Também pode ocorrer a sensação de infinito temporal e cessação do tempo

By passing beyond Infinite Space, thinking: 'Consciousness is infinite,' he reaches and remains in the Sphere Infinite Consciousness. His former true but subtle perception of Infinite Space disappears. At that time there arises a true but subtle perception of Infinite Consciousness, and he becomes one who is conscious of Infinite Consciousness. Thus it is through training one type of consciousness arises; and through training another passes away.

5º Jhana descrito no Digha Nikaya: Sensação de espaço infinito

DN#9 - Potthapada Sutta

"By passing beyond bodily sensations, by the ending of all sense of resistance, by paying no attention to perceptions of diversity, thinking: 'Space is infinite,' he reaches and remains in the Sphere Infinite Space. His former true but subtle perception of neither happiness nor unhappiness disappears. At that time there arises a true but subtle perception of Infinite Space, and he becomes one who is conscious of Infinite Space. Thus it is through training one type of consciousness arises; and through training another passes away.

Sobre comida inglesa penso nesse meme todo dia. O erro tá na raiz, é ontológico

Brazilians make bad food because nothing really matters, so we might as well live vicariously through our food. Wanna put a whole rotisserie chicken on top of a chocolate and sushi alcoholic pizza? Rules are fake anyway, just do it.
Brits make bad food because nothing really matters, so you might as well eat dirt clods with shit sauce, you soon-to-be cadaver

Me lembrou o "I Refute It Thus" do Samuel Johnson chutando a pedra pra provar a existência dela. Nos lembram que exercícios filosóficos são importantes mas não englobam a totalidade da realidade que sempre foge a compreensão completa.
