Dhamma Dasa
The ego aka character we develop can only appear to exists in the past or future, this false idol is the Dukkha creator, remembering to look for dog dookie on our island 🏝 walk is great Sati as we walk around the dookie staying shining & clean, but I have experienced a deeper level, as Buddhadasa Bhikkhu spoke of, the head of the snake, the Dukkha creator, the ego self character, the ” I, my, me mind” , in the island 🏝 dookie analogy, this would be a dirty dog on our island shitting everywhere, avoiding the Dukkha is great, but I have found also sending the ego false self dog on a boat 🐕 to another island is also a great solution because sure other animals may leave some droppings around, but once the main culprit is gone, avoiding the dookie is much easier with no dookie creator insight, & for this I use the wholesome thought of remembering there is no ego character of me, it exsist only in a false ghostly past and future biological thought pattern, a story that builds momentum & strength only if we allow it, only if we forget to remember to look lol😂, our true nature is not a self really, it’s like emptiness, Silence of the heart, peace, pure unborn ever present awareness, unattached to cognitive biological functions, the the Dhamma, Truth, nature shines bright right here, right now, in one sense it can be described as just this, here, like this now, very plain , unexciting, yet on the other yinyang hand it is completely mind blowing, Magikal & miraculous, yet also none of these things ☯️☺️
