Worship ?
If anyone think the Buddhism is one of the religion, soon you will be realized
“If it is the religion, where is the God and what to worship ? ” —— Then you might be
realized, something peculiar or even something wrong.
—
Since, on his death-bed, Buddha ordered to his followers ” Don’t idolize or worship me”
In the Buddhist’s Mantras, there is even a single line of script which described that
Buddha himself bowed to anything, exist.
Buddha respects the Dharma and its rules, though rule is just the rule.
Rule is not the God or an object of worship. ——– Gravity is one of the physical phenomena.
Its rule is absolute. No one can escape —- though, no one think gravity is God nor anybody worship it.
Dharma rules the universe though as it is not like a personified western God,
Dharma is not answerable, even communicable to the human, it is not an object to worship.
Hence, Buddha didn’t need to worship the Dharma but he just followed and lived with it.
Because of this, the Buddhism has been often regarded to be NOT a religion,
and often mistook as an atheist.
( Lots of you may think, if this is the case, what about the many Devine figures in the temple and
worshiping rituals the monks are performing ? ? ?
——- It is just because of a mix-up with Hinduism. It is not the Buddhism )
In the same kind of misunderstanding, lots of people think the Buddhist practice is a part of rituals.
No, they are a training exercise to gain a state of the mind ” Mushin “.
( DO the things without Thinking —– leave it to the control of subconsciousness / Dharma )
Darma has unknowable mystical power ——- though, it is not because of Buddhism.
Since, Dharma and the Karma are ruling anybody, regardless one’s religion.
Believe or not, everybody you too, are under the Dharma —— hence, it’s better to aware it.
To become aware it ——- you are wiser. Which we call ” Enlightened “
Buddhism itself has no mysticism or mumbo-jumbo.
Buddha’s teachings or Buddhism is the way to see the Dharma and live with it.
Following and living with it, mean more smooth natural life, hence having the Peace.

ok how is this supposedto mean?
In this particular post, I just explained what is the position of Dharma in the Buddhism.
To know the Dharma, most relevant manifestation of it is to know the self or its
position in the Dharma. ——- may looks easy (in fact it is so easy in the end) though,
people spend years of practice such as the meditation etc.
You are standing on front of the door.
If you like to go into (In my approach), you got to read this blog all through.
and you may need to read some post again and again and follow some practice
to learn to gain the state of the mind / Mushin. Then, you will see, where you are
in the Dharma ——– or you are in the Dharma. Its mean, you will see your absolute
position in your life / in another word confidence to be Who you are.
