Contradictions
” Step by step process of the Buddhism “- – – – – You can’t Jump “
Anybody who is patient enough to read through all those posts which started March 09,
may spotted the funny contradictions here and there, this and that.
For instance, at ” Lemon Zen ” I wrote ” While cutting lemon, you have to think
” I’m doing Zen ” —— and much later post ” Forget the Buddhism “.
How come ?
——————–
Buddhism is the wisdom, how to live one’s life, and change it to achieve one’s
maximum potential to fulfill the roll ofwhich the one has born to be.
——————–
The process of change is in steps or stage by stage.
But the hard part of this change is, it has to be changed in the person’s subconscious
level, which is not visible and not easy to manipulate like a piece on the chess board.
So that, on the beginning, you have to start the practice under the tag of ” Buddhism ”
or ” Zen ” and imprint it deep into your subconscious.
Once the file was established and you got used with it as a routine, and on the end,
you have to get rid of even the file name, as it is no longer a part of you but whole of yourself.
——– Often it was described as a boat to cross the river, you need the boat only on
that stage which you don’t need to carry after crossing ( boat is heavy isn’t it. 🙂 )
——————–
The process of this, is like a mathematics -A x -B = +AB. ( ! ! ! )
First you negate the existence, then apply the negation to its idea itself, so,
everything become + (positive !—–but they are not the same as before ).
The first negation was reflected in the Hinayana and the second process is Mahayana.
So that a beginner has to start to learn the denial of ego, greed, desire etc, while following
strict rules and the way of the life to achieve quiet subdued (peaceful) life as a good boy.
Then the Mahayana revolution put the eyes on the ordinary forks on the street, (not the
professional monks) who has to carry ordinary daily life on, running business, making love
etc etc, as a man was naturally born as it is. And shifted the emphasis from its appearance
of the life, to the way how the person’s mind inside works. Do it in selfless way.
—— Therefore, the solution in Mahayana can be utterly contradictive in Hinayana.
——————–
As the Buddhism had evolved in its own logics, a person’s steps follows in similar way.
Micky couldn’t be in the Hinayana, but yes it can be in the Mahayana.
Enjoy to be a Micky. All of your life ahead.

Jharte Jharte Para Jharte, Para sum Jharte Bodhi sowaka.
PS: I’ve been wondering many years to find the meaning of this word Jharte.
One day, I noticed this word was spoken in an Asian Radio.
So, I asked a man in a news-agency. He replied ” Oh, its mean, Go Go Go ” ! ! !
( Its same as the call in the Flamenco Dance, Ohlle, Assa or Amajha. Cool 🙂 )
