Brahmarandra connects us to the Astral World—the realm of sound, vibration, imagery, and multicolored light. Our channels are clogged with the data of our past experiences. As the Wind moves through these channels, this data eventually passes through the Brahmarandra, manifesting as colorful light and images. It is precisely these images and lights that are commonly referred to as meditative experience. In other word…

19 Jul 2026, 09:33 UTC242 views6 reactionsread 17 August 2026 Let me briefly summarize the theses on why the body, sensations, consciousness, and data are not the True "Self" (Atman).
Anything impermanent — anything that arises, changes, and eventually falls apart — cannot be the Atman.
Anything that causes suffering cannot be our true essence either, because the True "Self: would never inflict pain on itself. The Atman is perfect, unconditioned freedom, joy, and bliss. So, i…

If you seek to find the Buddha, you must realize your own true nature. Although you are the Buddha, if you have not realized your true nature, you may think about the Buddha, recite sutras, fast, and observe vows—but it will all be in vain. If you recite mantras, you will create good karma. If you recite sutras, you will become wise. If you keep the precepts, you will be reborn as a celestial being. If you make offer…

"Consciousness rules the world,” said the Buddha. Well‑controlled consciousness is the most beneficial friend, but when uncontrolled and wandering, it inevitably becomes the worst enemy. A well‑controlled, tamed mind brings peace and happiness.
The method of taming and controlling the mind is called Samatha Bhāvanā.
The mind naturally seeks an object on which to focus. Strength or weakness, health or sickness, joy …

The computers are connected into a single network and are constantly transmitting information to one another. What will happen if the hard drives of one or several of these computers are overloaded, heavily fragmented, and clogged with unnecessary data? These computers will operate very slowly. T…

2) Accumulate good karma and merit through the practices of goodness, giving, and selfless service.
3) Do not waste the merit you have accumulated; preserve it by observing the precepts and practicing patience.
4) Pur…

29. Neither the Flag nor the Wind
Two monks were arguing about a flag. One said, “The flag is moving.” The other said, “The wind is moving.” The Sixth Patriarch happened to be passing by. He said, “Neither the flag nor the wind is moving — it is the mind that moves.”
Mumon’s Commentary:
The Sixth Patriarch said that it is not the flag that moves, not the wind that moves, but the mind that moves. What did he mean? …

This mind is the source of all virtues. And this same mind is the master of all powers. The eternal bliss of Nirvana arises from a calm mind. Rebirths in the Three Realms also arise from the mind. The mind is the gateway to any world, and the mind is the ford to the other shore. Those who know where the door is do not worry about reaching it. Those who know where the ford is do not grieve over how to cross the river.…

An important point: nothing is fixed. That is, even if you have experienced a cessation of superficial consciousness, it does not mean that you will always be in this state. Or if you have experienced the Joy of Kundalini rising, you will always be in a state of Joy. Or you have experienced light in meditation — you sit down the next time and think, “Well, no…

A thought is a manifestation of data accumulated by us and activated by our consciousness, which comes into motion when we lose sight of ourselves.
Since we cannot immediately stop this process of movement of consciousness, distinction, and the emergence of desires and images, when we begin spiritual practice, we first change the data underlying this process. Replacing the data allows us to begin to control our cons…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @Dhamma_Gaveshi. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
