We have a lot to learn from Buddha’s teachings and a lot to discover on our own behind those teachings. We know we have no scientific proof for most of his teachings, which depends on variables we cannot reproduce such as our mind. Mind training is the base of Buddha’s wisdom. Do I have to become a Buddha to walk in this world with clarity of mind and higher consciousness? One may ask. In the search for the answer we could ask ourselves: Do I have to become a Computer Scientist to be able to build a software? Do I have to become a Civil Engineer to be able to build a house? Do I have to become a Professional Football Player to be able to play football? Or do I need consciousness to get the required knowledge to do such things? The moment we get conscious about the answer, it is the moment we get clarity of mind.

According to the book “The Art of Living: Part I and II”, written by the Venerable Master Chin Kung, there are ten sentences capable of summarising Buddha’s teachings:

“True Sincerity towards others,
Purity of Mind within,
Equality in everything we see,
Proper Understanding of life and the universe,
Compassion in helping others in a wise and unconditional way,
See Through to the truth of impermanence,
Let Go of all wandering thoughts and attachments,
Freedom of mind and spirit,
Accord With Conditions to go along with the situation,
Be Mindful of Buddha Amitabha, wishing to reach the Pure Land and follow His Teachings.”

As we can see by reading those simple sentences, consciousness is what bound us all to each other, and to the impermanence of the universe. Consciousness is required to search for the knowledge to see the world as it really is. Consciousness is the ultimate wisdom, the foundation of everything we do during our journey towards the light.

Without consciousness the acquisition of knowledge is extremely difficult. Without consciousness we can easily embrace suffering, the conditioning of life promoted by darkness, the negative energy surrounding us all.

The ultimate message, the sound of the sleeping dragon ready to wake-up inside each one of us is: get ready, get conscious, get prepared to share love and compassion towards others, caring, loving, and living a meaningful life free of negative consequences of suffering.

How could I get ready? How could I find the required strength to get conscious and prepared? One may ask. As we could see with our third eye, the answer is hidden at the same knowledge required to feed our body, the live vessel we use to walk in this world called Earth.

Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  It’s important we get prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres any time, anywhere, and at any circumstances. Although the majority of us live in an environment where internal conflicts and wars are somehow not so close, dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive people and behaviours requires us to be ready for facing and dealing with anything before us. That’s why it’s important to learn how to survive outside civilisation, where danger and threats aren’t limited to facing and dealing with minds in suffering. Inside a Jungle, a desert, or any other place where traces of civilisation are little or non-existent, the restrainment of resources (e.g., food and fresh water), as well as the presence of other animals in the surroundings (e.g., spiders, big snakes, jaguars, lions, tigers, and so on)---which may see us as a prey—become big concerns far more urgent than dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive presence of minds in suffering in the surroundings. Thus, the mo...

  When our purpose is genuine and crystal clear, there’s nothing that can stop us to attain that goal, not even a strong source of negativity surrounding us. The secret is always on our motivation to thrive, and therefore, the motivation to trespass any barrier imposed, no matter the circumstances. We can think of it as a serious game; a game of life where we’ve no additional spare lives, which implies that every move counts either towards our goal or backwards to somewhere else. When we get used to so much negativity in the surroundings, and start realising it was there for much longer than we may be aware of, we start questioning everything. It’s in this darkest time that we need to look deep within to realise and understand we aren’t what the outside may project about us but what we feel of getting totally aligned with our love nature and fulfilling the mission we’re assigned when we were born. Let’s forget about others and focus on making sure love spreads all around, even if, ...

The Neo-Nazi ideology is already deep in the roots of our current society, and as part of our culture and way of life, it’s dictating and conditioning what people see as normal behaviour in some social spaces. The simple act of gossiping with the goal of imposing additional difficulties in the life of another is a Neo-Nazi influence that passes almost unnoticed to our naked eyes. Stopping and diminishing those behaviours related to Neo-Nazi ideologies is the way of facing darkness and dealing with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in a conscious and meaningful way. No darkness has power to obfuscate the natural light we’ve deep within. We just need to find a way of cultivating and nurturing our light to be influenced and conditioned by darkness no more. Suicide is not a way out. We need to learn how to live a meaningful life with the duty of facing darkness and dealing with its presence in the surroundings in a conscious and meaningful way. That’s the path towards our person...
