Become enlightened! - Become a Buddha!
Chamtrul Rinpoche
Relax. You already have everything that you need. Your nature is already whole.
Your nature is already pure.
There is nothing to obtain. You just have to give
up and let go what is covering it.
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche
I
have discovered that one can become enlightened, if one stops thinking and worships
the silence and stillness of the mind. One lets the mind be like a mirror-like lake,
where the surrounding beauty is reflected in the lake. All one needs to do is to
be the silence and stillness by stopping thinking.
Because one has stopped
thinking, one is in stillness and lives in stillness, one reflects the glory of God
because there is nothing to disturb. One has become
one with God and lives one with God.
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will
be exalted in the earth. (Psalms 46:10)
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the
Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in
confidence shall be your strength.... (Isaiah 30:15)
But the LORD is in
his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. (Habakkuk 2:20)
Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his
holy habitation. (Zechariah 2:13)
But let it be the hidden man of the
heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price. (1 Peter 3:4)
The reason why
we should stop thinking and let the mind be in silence and stillness is that we should
express God who lives in the gap between our thoughts. This happens by getting divine
ideas and thinking divine thoughts, when we think God's thoughts about what we are
thinking. If adults let children be children while growing up, they will express an
inherent joy that flows like living water.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much
displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
(Mark 10:14-15)
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood
and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that
believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of
living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.) (John 7:37-39)
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh
not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:20-21)
God is a Spirit: and they
that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)
The Spirit
is life and without the body the Spirit is invisible. The body makes it possible for
the Spirit to operate on earth via the five senses and as long as the Spirit lives in
the body the body is spiritual. When the Spirit leaves the body the body becomes
lifeless matter.
Jesus discovered that the reason why people love children is
because they have an inherent joy, and he concluded that their consciousness has a
direct connection with God. Our task as adults is to reflect this joy that comes from
the Spirit and become like children again.
As long as Jesus was on earth, the
disciples relied on Jesus and it was only when Jesus was glorified and ascended to
heaven that the disciples were forced to rely on the Spirit within them.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon
the earth. (Genesis 1:26-28)
God is a spirit being who created matter so
that people who lacked matter could live on Earth. Part of humanity's task is to
create with their hands and in this way drive development forward. Jesus, who read the
Old Testament, realized that it was the Spirit in man that was the image of God and
that the Spirit had lost control over the animals on Earth with the Fall.
At
the age of 30, Jesus began his mission and he proved through the miracle of the fish
(Matthew 14:17, Matthew 15:34, Mark 6:38, Luke 9:13) that he had regained control over
the fishes and he also performed other miracles where his Spirit ruled over matter and
man's goal is to rule over matter by becoming one with God.
This is done by
letting God's ideas and God's thoughts determine how we view creation. Our main task
is to commune with God in silence and stillness, by stopping thinking so that we can
receive God's ideas and God's thoughts. If no Divine ideas and Godly thoughts arise,
we must seek contact with God, so that we form an alliance with God.
Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto
you: (Matthew 7:7)
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not,
and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall
be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,
shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall
be measured to you again. (Luke 6:37-38)
I have recently
discovered the path to enlightenment. You think that your entire personality is love
and see yourself as
a person full of love.
Lao Tsu, the great Chinese theosophist and author of
the Tao Te Ching, said over twenty-five houndred years ago, "The only way to do is
to be. "Therefore, I believe that the only way to create love is to consciously
be love."

George Adamski was told by his
space friends that: Man is a divine spirit who currently lives in a body. His
life's task is to know his true self, which is equal to the 'feeling body'.
"You must try to make the people on earth understand that self-knowledge is the first
step in their development. And the first questions are: Who am I? Along what paths can
I develop in order to return to the unity I once left? Point out to them that man has
nothing to add. He only needs to express what he already is. But he must learn to
understand what he is and give expression to this in his life. For it is life, the
application, that is important."
Being a Buddha is not just about
meditating, living in silence and thinking minimally. Siddhartha Gautama Buddha was
the first Buddha and he taught
the 4 noble truths,
the 8 fold path,
the 5 precepts and
the 4 divine abodes.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when
thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil,
thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee
be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark,
the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give
thee light. (Luke 11:34-36)
Then we shall realize the kingdom of God by
doing God's ideas, thinking God's thoughts about creation, speaking God's words, and
doing God's will. Then we will understand what is meant by:
And again he said,
Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven which a woman took
and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. (Luke 13:20-21)
Then we will know the meaning of what Jesus said:
I and my Father
are one. (John 10:30).
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the
Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
(John 5:19)
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do,
though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the
Father is in me, and I in him. (John 10:37-38)
Beloved, let us love one
another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth
God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen
God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected
in us. (1 John 4:11-12)
And we have known and believed the love that God
hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
(1 John 4:16)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me,
the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12)
Jesus identified himself with the
Spirit of God in his body and as long as Jesus was on earth, the disciples relied on
Jesus to fix all their problems. But when Jesus had ascended to heaven, the disciples
were forced to rely on the Father within them. That is, the spirit of life. It is
through love that God within us can
influence matter. So there is a protection against loveless thoughts, then no
influence on matter occurs.
