Merely: How much more difficult is it to attain Buddha-hood in the
supermarket???????
Surely the true test is when you live the full life in the real world??????.
Suresh: This is what I look for, Buddha-hood while living in the same
environment. The thinker or the seer should disappear, will it?
Edger: Why have you not done as your hero Shakyamuni did, then? He
left society for a while to practice. See what nice thing happened for
him?
Suresh: The present world is not like that. I see people everywhere
even the remotest area possible. I went to Thiruvannamalai –
skandasramam where Ramana Maharishi meditated for 7 years. But now
that area also so many people. There are brokers to show you where
Ramana Maharishi meditated, what can we do now?
Leaving family is impossible. Can one able to accept whatever the
condition he is in? The mind always thinks that it would be better if
it is not in the place where it is now. I am where I am, it cannot be
changed, but acceptance of who I am and where I am can bring changes,
what do you say?
Joe: A teacher is needed to help us persist the right way(s).
Suresh: Do you mean a teacher in living body form? Why not a teacher
be a book? Or why not it is nature? or why not it is a situation?
Joe: I suppose you have various practices, such as what Ramana
Maharshi taught. In Zen practice, we have zazen, formless meditation.
It is easy to learn, but not easy to teach.
Suresh: Can a word describe what truth is? Ramana Maharishi taught all
methods, but people read little and understand little. Writing this
letter is zen do you know this?
