I heard there are books of awakening stories. I have one favorite one,
but I would love to read more. Do you know of any books or websites
that have a collection of awakening experiences? Or perhaps we could
post them here.

"Become Brahman" is the goal of Buddhism, is the meaning of the
Buddha, the Tathagata. Correcting the fallacy that Buddhism is somehow
adverse to "Hinduism"

Buddhisms teaching that to "become Brahman" is the highest.

It has been asserted by modern so-called Buddhism-in-name-only
that Buddhism knows only of the gods (Brahma) and nothing of the
Godhead/Absolute/Agathon Brahman. In actuality there can be doubt that...

THE MOST IMPOTANT WORD IN BUDDHISM, THE CITTA (WILL/MIND)

THE 17 PROPRIETARY DECLARATIONS MADE IN SUTTA ABOUT THE CITTA ALONE
Copyright 2007 webmaster attan.com

These 17 designations made in sutta are given only as regards the
citta, no other proper noun is given such status. Nothing but the
citta itself is lauded in so many proprietary and important ways...

The Lost meaning of Avijja / Avidya (agnosis)
The 'secret' principle behind Emanationism
(Monism, Platonism, original Buddhism, and Advaita Vedanta)
Copyright 2006 Author: Webmaster attan.com

What is avijja (agnosis) specifically? To refer to said term as
merely ‘ignorance’ is a misnomer. This very short exposition of the
lost and metaphysical meaning of avijja is meant to expose the
philosophical...

The Two Selves
Or, the empirical self (namo-rupa, anatta), and the Spiritual (attan)
Self
Copyright 2007 Author: Webmaster attan.com

The greatest fool in Buddhist doctrine was one who “saw Self
(atman) in (mere) self (anatta)” (“anattani ca attati”) [AN 2.52],
certainly one of the most common refrains in Buddhist sutta. Some of...

heres a picture of this fucking idiot and his "article on anatta".

HERES HIS LETTER TO ME (insert laughs now)>>>>>>>>

Dhamma Greetings K,

To start off with I generally don't answer anyone who doesn't politely
write their emails like they would write a letter. That is with an
opening greeting and signing with respect at the end of the email. The
way you have written shows a lack of respect and a want to hide your
identity, as if you are ashamed of what you have written. If you want
me to respond in the future please write properly and with real
respect. It can be an interesting investigation of the Buddha's
teachings if done with cordiality.

With that said. I will respond this one time. What you have written
here is all about philosophy "which is mere words without any action
to back them up" in other words an intellectual exercise without any
practical applications. Many of the things you have brought up
actually support the way I translate 'Anatta'! If you would try doing
some actual meditation, you would see that the practicalness of saying
"personal" (atta) and "impersonal" (anatta) works very well.

The intellectual reasoning that you have brought up is basically
flawed and very confused. When you start using texts other than
Buddhist texts to define a concept or idea brought up by the Buddha,
this...

In the traditional practice of insight meditation - vipassana the
practitioner was told to "note" whatever that arises. The noting is
done by labelling it. In the satipathana sutta Buddha stated the
result of arriving at insight and the practitioner will "know body in
the body". The emphasis of the 2 main traditions from Myanmar and sri
lanka (thailand teachers are a lot more flexible and less fixated)
paid undue emphasis on the word "know". The teaching in this
traditions argued that to "know" we need to label. Such an arguement
failed to understand the true nature of insight and how insights can
only arise when the monkey mind stops all elaboration. This doesn't
mean that there is no thought. Concentration meditation can take a
person to the mental state of no thought but insight meditation...

*****SPV.....What happened to the saying, "If you don't have something
nice to say, why say anything at all?"

Let us ponder or mentate on the aspect of love. People like the Pope
or the Deli Lama who know nothing of love and hate and God and
Enlightenment will tell you that God is love. But that is not really...

"Freud emphasized that repression is the foundation of psychoanalysis.
If something in my mind makes me uncomfortable and I do not want to
cope with it, I choose to ignore or forget it. This clears the way for
me to think of something else, but the price for this is that part of
my psychic energy must be expended to resist the suppressed idea and
keep it out of consciousness. What has been thus repressed returns to
consciousness as a symptom. What is not consciously admitted into
awareness erupts in obsessive ways bringing those very qualities it
tried to avoid.

While Freud considered repressed sexuality as the main culprit for
most of his life, towards his end, he shifted his focus to death as
the primary repression.

Consciousness of death is our primary repression. The Buddhists
claim that, since the self is insubstantial, the death-denial
represents quite valid suspicion that "I" do not really exist.

Fear of physical death is one manifestation of the deeper fear of
the death of this "I".
