Dear All,
Since my last post, there was not any response. I assumed that my last
post was not clear or foreign in terminology. Please allow me to elaborate.
There are ten realms according to Buddhism. The Human realm is the
fifth from the top. The Bodhisatva realm is the second only to Buddha.
Bodhisatva realm is pure heart, which is pure compassion, pure wisdom
and pure joy and above all karma.
Human realm is thinking in human terms, act in human ways with some
self-interest and trapped in forms.
When our spirit is in the Bodhisatva realm, our heart is filled with
wisdom, compassion and joy. We live based on the wisdom of the moment
with harmonious intentions, because in this realm, our heart is one with
the other without separation.
As soon as we begin to think, to analyze, to judge, our spirit drops
right back down to human realm, we think, act with limited human
knowledge/experience and self interest. We are then trapped in form.
Sutra labels this state of being as reincarnation, for it is an endless
chase of relativity.
When our spirit is in the realm of Bodhisatva, we are not affect by all
the forms. We are able to penetrate to the veil of self defense. We
are able to be connected to the invisible wisdom of the moment to
harmonize the situation. Buddhist say to resolve all karma.
This is way I was taught, practice and witness the way to rid of the
Five Poisons.
Just for your reference. Thank you for your attention.
