"Why do we all have the same illusion ?"

Q : "It can't be a dream we all have the same World ! It must be exterior to us if we all share the same World! How are we all dreaming the same thing ? Dreams are usually private ! "

A : " But that common World is also there in dreams ! Think about it, you're comparing a dream with your waking and you find out the dream is not shared. But in your dream while you're sleeping, when you forgotten it was a dream, you were meeting with people , talking with them etc .

When you're drinking tea with your friend in your dream does your friend says " I can't see the cup you're not dreaming hard enough! " No everybody agrees in the dream that it's like a waking experience!

You can't say sharing a common reality is a sign of waking , something other than a dream, because in dreams , exactly the same thing happens. "

- Swami Sarvapriyananda

There is a sense in which we feel alive to something else than this life, this world, this universe. We try to put words around it, envelope it in meaning, but we're always a little off the mark or it's just out of reach. Call it anything you want but there is a quality (at least to me) that is indescribable. If there is a way to think of it (see the Heart Sutra), it's this: emptiness is form; form is emptiness. Try then to imagine the stories in your head, the worlds you live and the cultural narrative that dominates all our lives. Impossible; ineluctable; inexhaustible, perhaps. Whatever it is, it's not something to be grasped or coveted. It just is.

Rice Eyes Enlightenment in Dogens Kitchen by Tai Sheridan

Rice Eyes Enlightenment in Dogens Kitchen Rice Eyes Enlightenment in Dogens Kitchen by Tai Sheridan is a poetic presentation of Dogen's essay Tenzo Kyokun, Instructions to the Cook, by Zen Priest and Poet Tai Sheridan. 'Rice Eyes' is a metaphor for the non-dual world, the essential Buddhist experience of oneness. Dogen uses the role of Tenzo, or head cook, to demonstrate how to live, work, and experience a spiritual life that brings benefit to everyone. From the book: Dogen lived from 1200 to 1253. He was the founder of the Soto lineage of Zen in Japan, a school of Zen now firmly rooted in America and the West. His seminal essay, Instructions to the Cook (Tenzo Kyokun), is an important treatise on living an aware and joyful life while engaged in daily activities. 'Rice Eyes' is a metaphor for the non-dual world, the essential Buddhist experience of oneness. Dogen uses the role of Tenzo, or head cook, to demonstrate how to live, work, and experience a joyful spiritual life that brings benefit to everyone. I have called the head cook the 'Chef de Cuisine' so that the poem addresses everyone, not just monastic Zen chefs. I have transformed Dogen's essay from prose into poetry, and have created subdivisions by topic that clarify his writing. I have also replaced his thirteenth century idioms with contemporary language and images to make his ideas more easily understood. Download it here:

Rice Eyes Enlightenment in Dogens Kitchen  

What is the book Tenzo Kyokun about?

"Tenzo Kyokun," also known as "Instructions for the Cook," is a classic Zen Buddhist text written by the 13th-century Japanese Zen master Eihei Dogen, the founder of the Soto school of Zen Buddhism. The text is not just a set of instructions for the monastery cook (tenzo), but it is also a profound teaching on how to live a mindful and enlightened life. One of the most striking aspects of "Tenzo Kyokun" is its emphasis on the ordinary task of cooking as a path to spiritual practice and awakening. Dogen teaches that every aspect of the preparation and serving of meals is a form of meditation and a way to practice mindfulness and compassion. He urges the cook to handle all ingredients with respect, as if they were precious, and to cook with a pure heart and a clear mind, free of distractions and selfish desires. The interconnection of all things The text is beautifully written, and its teachings are presented in a straightforward and practical manner that is accessible to readers of all backgrounds. Dogen's insights into the nature of work, responsibility, and the interconnection of all things are profound and timeless. He shows that enlightenment can be found in the most mundane activities and that every action, no matter how small, has the potential to be a means of spiritual growth and self-realization. "Tenzo Kyokun" is not only a guide for Zen practitioners but also a source of inspiration for anyone seeking to live a more mindful and meaningful life. It teaches the importance of being present in every moment and finding joy and fulfillment in serving others. It is a reminder that the path to enlightenment is not found in seeking extraordinary experiences but in fully engaging with the ordinary tasks and challenges of everyday life. In conclusion, "Tenzo Kyokun" is a profound and timeless work that offers valuable wisdom for anyone interested in Zen Buddhism or the art of mindful living. Its teachings are as relevant today as they were in the 13th century, making it a must-read for those on a spiritual journey. Read the full article

Pancha Kosha ~THE WISDOM OF THE FIVE SHEATHS

Who Am I? The wisdom of the five sheaths (Pancha Kosha) in Advaita Vedanta demonstrates the illusory nature of individuality. We become aware of the fundamental unity of the Atman, the genuine self, when we strip away the layers of our physical, vital, mental, and intellectual coverings. The deep realisation of non-duality that results from this insight allows the individual self to transcend…

You'll Never Realize That.🖼️

(quotes by Dudaji ebook on Kindle) - thread on twitter

''There's an assumption that you can follow some kind of path, that you can implement some practice, that you can learn some teaching. But there's no you - there's only Oneness. So, ask yourself: "Who is following what? Who will follow what?" Sometimes there is the pretence of "me", there is a seeking, there is a longing. No amount of meditation or effort or practice will ever destroy the illusion of "me", because the whole effort of trying to destroy it continues to reinforce this "me". So, there's no path, no practice, no teaching. There's no method, no technique, no formula.

There are no oughts, no shoulds, no shouldn'ts. There is no goal, no direction, no plan, no from here to there, no expectation, no intention, no "in order to", no calculation. It just simply is what-is or "what happens".

If there is a message, it points to this Natural Reality, a Reality that is boundless and beyond description. But if you search it, you will not find it. The more you seek, the more desperate your search become.

There is no answer to seeking and to the seeker, because there is no seeker. Every seeking is illusive, that there is nothing to be sought and nothing to be found.

What is pointed here is the fact that this whole movie that includes the seeker, the seeking and what is sought is illusory. There is no point in time and space to reach. There is no going beyond, no border to cross, no ultimate viewpoint to be acquired.

There is no enlightenment state as well as there is no unenlightened state. All states are imagined. You may be seeking for answers. You see yourself as someone searching for answers: a person, male, female, young, old, tall, short etc.

But you cannot find any answer, neither in this book nor anywhere else because there is no one seeking, there is no one alive. Nobody has ever born. There is not an "I" and there is not a "you". This is an appearance, not real at all, which therefore is like a dream.

In this oniric experience you are separate from all the things that surround you. But what also seems to be part of this dream is a feeling of unfulfilment.

The contents of your aware presence of consciousness are momentary dreams, unreal, without any independent existence outside of the mind that is conceiving and perceiving them.

In those dreams you see everything as a separate object, then there is a "you" as you believe yourself to be. Since there is no separate self, who is to affect change? When you take life on its own way, everything will be discovered to be the ground of Unconditional Love.

The World you perceive is entirely private, a dream. The world you can perceive is a very small world. It is you who have invented a totality to contain you as a part.''
