Everything that can be created is illusion.
Examples before
– painter and painting
– white screen and movie
Not just illusion, but our body also.
Bodhisattva Ability already in us
When I couldn’t sleep in the motel I was aware a new meditation.
All the abilities are already in us, we just haven’t opened them up yet.
Like a lotus seed is so small, but the ability to grow many big beautiful flowers and become a garden are all there, you can’t see them from the seed, but it’s there. You just haven’t made it grow yet. So Bodhisattva ability already in us. Free from lost by illusion, free from searching for/stuck in essence/emptiness feeling. Free from both. Able to enjoy illusion
We haven’t made seed grow yet.
Monk want to reach and stay in empty. Nirvana for them is reaching that empty. Ah, escape feeling. Not connected to everything. So the only way they can feel essence is not connect to everything. First stage, turn off the lights at the movie you see white screen – Rohan. High level is realise, oh, don’t have to turn off the light, I know the white screen is there. I know the light is illusion, take both very light, easy.
Bodhisattva go further, not stuck in empty, able to enjoy illusion.
That is just a general description – even for Sifu, he sees for that to become an ability he has no clue.
He has experienced many times, but not able to into it anytime he wants. Because if he had that kind of ability to anytime you want free, he is already Bodhisattva. That is true freedom. Then unlimited joy will appear. Enjoy all the illusion, but no suffering from it.
There essence so pure can be aware of 100 million universes full of planets and every lifetime that is how free. Connect or not connect, not force anyone. Aware of us, but not connected.
Like Observing Life Sound Bodhisattva aware of us but not guide/support your life unless you ask for his help.
Like if I offer you advice when you don’t ask sometimes you get annoyed, or some characters like it.
Bodhisattva create mantra system for you to know there is a system to connect to them. Not go looking to connect, force anyone, anything.
The mantra is for you to show your willing heart. Give you a button to touch it, but only work if you are sincere.
Sincere heart is not easy, because sincere heart come from true understanding. And understanding create true trust. True understanding and true heart make your heart really open . Sincere heart create a positive loop for your life – experience, trust, deeper, sincere deeper, etc – circle system.
Blind belief create a negative circle.
Summary
Whatever can be created is illusion.
Because our body can be created, all these trees can be created, whole universe can be created, they are like movie, like dream, have to be illusion.
Another way to understand life is illusion.
Sequence.
1. Observe all the form, aware constantly changing illusion – nature, our body, thinking, feeling, trees, anything.
2. Observe, the power to observe the first illusion, our essence, is also illusion. (Like view life, then out of body, then back to body, see life differently.) Sky eyes, essence ability so light and pure and free can aware much more than regular material.
Example
First illusion. Observe this body is me.
Second Illusion – everything I see is real.
Realise whatever we experience is far away from essence ability, far away from potential freedom what we can truly be aware of. But I’m not steady in that power. Sometimes easy in and out!
