RE: The Ten Stages of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Path
Dear @reddust It's been a very detailed post. First of all, I congratulate you. I am looking at this thought from the following point. In Western culture, we learn to feel that our "true self" is always there. But we do not know where to find this feeling and we always try.
Buddhist doctrine is based on the fact that there is no permanent "self". If you understand that everything has changed, the next step is to accept that every day has changed.
The way our societies around the world is structured it is almost impossible to find out who we truly are...if we did that we wouldn't fight in the banker wars, be a good consumer, and fight about politics and religion all the time...hahaha
This body and our consciousness are always changing, what is constantly changing one cannot find a unchanging permanent self...
Who is watching the dance of phenomena?
Answer ; We all. But my idea is that
When you accept the imperfections of life, you are less disappointed. You free up your inner clarity and are less affected than everyday stress and distress. And @reddust And your ideas are very valuable👍
