âSo then, when you die, youâre not going to have to put up with everlasting non-existence, because thatâs not an experience. A lot of people are afraid that when they die, theyâre going to be locked up in a dark room forever, and sort of undergo that. But one of the interesting things in the world is -â this is a yoga, this is a realization -â try and imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up. Think about that. Children think about it. Itâs one of the great wonders of life. What will it be like to go to sleep and never wake up? âAnd if you think long enough about that, something will happen to you. You will find out, among other things, it will pose the next question to you. What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep? That was when you were born. You see, you canât have an experience of nothing; nature abhorres a vacuum. So after youâre dead, the only thing that can happen is the same experience, or the same sort of experience as when you were born. In other words, we all know very well that after other people die, other people are born. And theyâre all you, only you can only experience it one at a time. Everybody is I, you all know youâre you, and wheresoever all being exist throughout all galaxies, it doesnât make any difference. You are all of them. And when they come into being, thatâs you coming into being.â Alan WattsÂ
3/9/12 - Because you don't answer to a God, doesn't mean you have to be an atheist.
God's in Traditional Buddhism
God's came to Buddha for advice, etc
Buddha did not talk about God (in Brahmanism)
Are Buddhists Atheist?
I am not an atheist
Rejecting is not necessary, but defining and experiencing God properly is more important
Salvation not from God, but from self and reality
You don't have to be given salvation from God
Paying for sin
Looking to yourself and others (reality) for salvation
God in my Buddhism/View
Looking at God as God is
God is in other people (and yourself), and therefore God's justice is in our justice
Even bad people know when they're doing bad things and God can see your sin through you seeing it in yourself
Seeing God in yourself and others
Though you may not have to say you are an atheist, you may have to re-define what you think God is
Doing bad things and getting away with it doesn't mean God does not see your sin, since you see your sin
God's justice comes from us
Everybody wants to be happy, no one wants to suffer
Bad people who do bad things think it will make them happy
Happiness is confused by desires, cravings, injustice, etc

âSo the bodhisattva saves all beings, not by preaching sermons to them, but by showing them that they are delivered, they are liberated, by the act of not being able to stop changing. You canât hang on to yourself. You donât have to try to not hang on to yourself. It canât be done, and that is salvation. Thatâs why you may think it a grisly habit, but certain monks keep skulls on their desks, âmomentomori,â âbe mindful of death.â âGurgdjieff says in one of his books that the most important thing for anyone to realize is that you and every person you see will soon be dead. It sounds so gloomy to us, because we have devised a culture fundamentally resisting death. There is a wonderful saying that Anandakuri Swami used to quote: âI pray that death will not come and find me still unannihilated.â In other words, that man dies happy if there is no one to die. In other words, the egoâs disappeared before death caught up to him.â Alan WattsÂ

When one overlays Buddhaghosa's 40 meditative subjects for the development of concentration with the Buddha's foundations of mindfulness, three practices are found to be in common: breath meditation, foulness meditation (which is similar to the Sattipatthana Sutta's cemetery contemplations, and to contemplation of bodily repulsiveness), and contemplation of the four elements. According to Pali commentaries, breath meditation can lead one to the equanimous fourth jhanic absorption. Contemplation of foulness can lead to the attainment of the first jhana, and contemplation of the four elements culminates in pre-jhana access concentration.

3/1/12 - Edgar Cayce, God & the True Self and why Jesus is God
A little-bit of a long talk...
Edgar Cayce: More to Reality?
A New Perspective of God in Buddhism: God is not a man in the sky who loves, the love you can create is God's love
Realization of True Self through the realization that you are of God: The ocean is God, you are a droplet of water
How Jesus helped me realize this before Buddhism
"God A": God is a man in the sky who loves, gets angry, judges, etc.Â
Only thinking of God as "God A" is "blasphemous"
"God B": God is the ocean, and we are drops of water. If we love, that is God's love, etc
God's love comes from us, as well as God's hate, fear, compassion, etc
Why "God B" can exist in Buddhism, but "God A" is rejected as a false God
Buddhism doesn't mean you have to be an atheist
The 3 & 4th Self
1) The Ego-centric self
2) The Ethno-centric self
These two types of self types can be very dangerous
3) The World-self
The Cosmic or God-like self (which can be seen as the removal of the self)
Buddha Nature
Is Jesus God? With "God B," yes, as we all are
Christ nature leading to God-like nature

2/29/12 - Introduction to Meditation by a new Buddhist with Modern Language
Observance & Attention Meditation:
Today I was meditating and thought I would explain how I meditate and have been instructed to do so. I also use more modern words to explain what meditation is. I find it hard (from a Western stand-point and a more modern perspective) to understand traditional Buddhist terminology.
Fist of all: Meditation is the Attention given to & the Observance of Reality
The Four things Observed and given attention to:
Reality (first with focus: the body, then un-focused w/ open eyes)
Sensations (pain, pleasure, itching, happiness, sadness, anger, etc)
Thoughts (daydreams, curiosities, etc)
5 Hindrances to Peace: 1) Doubt 2) Distraction 3) Liking/Preference 4) Sleepiness, and 5) Disliking/Lack of Preference
At the end of the recording I suggest taking #1 and un-focusing on a specific object of reality (here the stomach) for more insight.
A great introduction my meditations are based on (by Yuttodhamma):Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnW_Kg3FCYA&feature=plcp&context=C3de75f6UDOEgsToPDskI_94TNssWpSDP4yh7QBCFx

Today, I abide in the Eight Precepts
The Eight Precepts:
1) I undertake the precept to refrain from destroying living creatures.Â
The Past: This is a precept I have followed for years, even before finding The Path. Although, I have taken it more seriously and taken on vegetarianism. This means that, in a small way I'll admit, I am discouraging the taking of life by not endorsing it in my life.
Today: Today, thought, I will have to be more mindful of my steps for the sake of the smaller bugs, etc.
Makes me think:  What about smaller things such as bacteria, etc? The way I see it thought, anything that doesn't want to die, I will be diligent not to do so. What about driving your car? Think about it, can you be mindful of being in a car?
2) I undertake the precept to refrain from taking that which is not given.
The Past:Â Though I have never been the "stealing type," I have to admit I have taken things that weren't mine before.Â
Today: Today I am reminded of how mindful I have to be when it comes to objects. For instance, I found a watch yesterday that someone had left on the court. They were from out of town, and probably won't get it back. But, it is was not given to me by them, so I cannot keep it.
Makes me think:Â A lot of the time I usually take food from my room mates. Sure, we usually share food, but today do I need to not eat my room mates's cereal because she hasn't directly given it to me? I'd say, yes. The idea: learn about giving.
3) I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual activity.
Past: I used to think that there was no benefit in having to give up sexual activities, because I used to think that they were always acts of love (as I make sure they are expressed in such a way). But, since finding The Path it can see how it can serve as a distraction, as well as an addiction.
Today: To be honest, I look forward to this day. I am more strongly on the addicted side of the pleasures of sexual activities. I don't like that I am so controlled by my desires in this area. I am a bit relieved to have a day where I am supposed to not engage in such activities- it helps me train in controlling my desire. Today, I will be diligent to not engage in these activities, and instead, focus on more wholesome (and important) activities like friendship, companionship, support, engaging in good conversation, laughing, maybe even playing, etc.
Makes me think: So, does kissing count? Well, yes and no. Kissing (a loving peck on the cheek) may be alright. But "making out" certainly is the doorway to other sexual activities.Â
4) I undertake the precept to refrain from incorrect speech.
Past: Yesterday I realized that I had told a white lie once, and that I had continued to tell it, even though it was harmless, over and over until I didn't realize I was telling it again and again. I am a very truthful person, but white lies are an area I can work on. Below you will see the 3rd part of right speech and the 5th part of right speech, which I have put special emphasis on, even before finding The Path.
Today: This precept is broken down into five parts. 1) speaking at the right time, 2) spoken in truth, 3) spoken affectionately, 4) spoken to someone's benefit, and 5) spoken with good will in mind. Today I will be working on all of them, but I need to put special emphasis on #2.
Makes me think: Can I tell a lie to keep someone from dying? This is how I see it: Imagine George is trying to kill Mike, and they ask you where Mike is. The right way to do this is to tell George that you aren't going to tell him where Mike is because of what he wants to do...and that's the truth. The wrong way to do this would be if you were to tell George that Mike was at In and Out Burger, when he wasn't...
5) I undertake the precept to refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness.
The Past: In the past I have been drunk and careless, and I never liked it in the end. This is one of the reasons I always wanted to give up being drunk. But, also, in the past, I have just had a beer with a friend, which I see as not being harmful. The reason I chose, ultimately, to give up intoxicants is because even though I may be having just one beer with a friend, I have noticed that the loosening of the situation allowed me lose control of myself and take a shot...then another...then three. By saying No to begin with, I avoid my weakness and train myself.
Today: Today I don't do anything out of the ordinary. I don't take intoxicants on a regular basis now. But, today I can practice precept #2 and makes sure no one feels I am not trying to be anti-social by explaining my actions.
Makes me think: Once I gain control of myself to a point, do I get to drink a beer with my friend? I'd say no. It is not apparent that someone drink a beer with a friend. Why not tea, or water- they're all drinks?! There is attachment in this situation...water, beer, tea, they're all a drink to me. It's hanging out with friends that counts!
6) I undertake the precept to refrain from eating at the forbidden time (i.e., after noon).
Past: I have always been a BIG guy, I'm 230lbs right now! Food is, and has always been, my #1 addiction. And, on previous Uposatha Days, I have failed at this task.
Today: Today I learn what it means to go without so much food. I want to learn how to manage only having X amount of food in a day and going on happily. I also aim to accomplish this today!
7) I undertake the precept to refrain from dancing, singing, music, going to see entertainments, wearing garlands, using perfumes, and beautifying the body with cosmetics.
Past: I have never practiced this in the past. Generally, I don't see any of these things as harmful.Â
Today: But, now I see how distracting these things can be to being at peace with yourself. If I can't have any of these things, how will I feel about myself in public? I will learn to be okay with me when I don't have these things. How will I deal with boredom? Meditation, maybe a good discussion, a good read, etc. Finding happiness at any moment is the goal of The Path.
Makes me think: I have had problems with trying to dodge other people when they are playing music, etc...not worth it. Hearing music isn't the issue, I think. It's being distracted by it when you are bored from more wholesome activities.
8) I undertake the precept to refrain from lying on a high or luxurious sleeping place.
Past: This one is totally new to me. But, already, I have found the benefits. It's very humbling. One good side effect: I actually get up when I'm supposed to. Sure it's not the most comfortable, so when I wake up...I'm awake, not enveloped in a warm comforter and pillow-plush pillows.Â
Today: I went to sleep at 12 am last night on the floor. I slept just fine. I'll do it again tonight...Â
Makes me think: This should totally help support #3. Also, last night I slept on a sleeping bag, why? The two other nights I have done this I actually didn't get any sleep (think about the middle way). I kept waking up over and over- I still think it is good to get some okay sleep, so I added a small cushion under me. Would you sleep on the cement to follow this precept? I wouldn't...
-Today I am practicing these precepts- I aim to practice them regularly! For more info:Â http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dhamma/sila/atthasila.html
