Nibbana/Nirvana is not a dualistic experience. Stop waiting for something beautiful or interesting to happen, in this world, and realise whatever happens here is impermanent and empty.

#buddhism #nibbana #nirvana #dualism #duality #experience #desire #beauty #samsara #impermanence #anicca

The most effective way I've found to overcome habitual desires/cravings is contemplating impermanence (anicca). Throughout the day, if you see everything, including the body and thoughts, as fleeting and not good enough (compared to eternal spiritual things), everything in the world loses its appeal.

Éclair de fleurs
Sur le mur
Saumon orangé

Les pétales nacrés
Dansent
Dans le vent frais

S'envolent
Sous le soleil au gré
Des murmures

Du temps passé
Impermanence
Accueillir le bonheur

Avant que la mort
N'effleure ta carapace
D'ego centré.

A quotation from The Bible

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
 
[μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]

#Buddhism's #ecological #philosophy frames #environmental care as #ethical imperative rather than mere conservation. Through #interdependence (#paṭiccasamuppāda), non-harming (#ahiṃsā), and the #Bodhisattva ideal, it extends #compassion to all sentient beings affected by #ClimateChange. #Impermanence (#anicca) invites #mindful engagement, not passivity, distinguishing natural cycles from #anthropogenic destruction.

#Buddhist #cosmology adapts and critiques #Indian models, emphasizing #impermanence (#anicca), non-self (#anatta), and #DependentOrigination. Unlike #Hindu cosmology, it rejects creator gods and views cosmic realms as conditioned, not ultimate. Liberation, #nirvāna, lies beyond cosmological cycles. Here is a brief overview:

#Fudōshin (不動心), the "immovable mind", is a central #Zen concept denoting inner stability and #equanimity amid change. Rooted in Buddhist teachings on #impermanence (#anicca) and non-self (#anatta), it embodies resilience not through suppression, but through adaptive presence and non-reactivity. In this post, we briefly explore its significance in Zen practice and philosophy.

#ShinjinDatsuraku ("dropping off body and mind") is a pivotal #Zen concept expressing the experiential release of self-attachment and dualistic identification. Central to #Dōgen's teaching, it reflects the Buddhist insight into non-self (#anatta) and #impermanence (#anicca), emphasizing liberation through letting go rather than accumulation. This post briefly explores its meaning and practice in Zen.

Your body is always changing. Your thoughts, your emotions—even your sense of self—shift from day to day. So what remains constant? To truly know yourself, you must go beyond what changes. You must understand the part of you that doesn’t. #Zen #Mindfulness #Consciousness #Identity #WhoAmI #Change #Impermanence #TrueSelf https://youtube.com/shorts/1_ASyejmgDk
