- Essay about
Buddhism
-
-
- Upasaka, Dr. Ricardo
de Leon, from Mexico and one of the student from the Course 'Buddhism in
Action', has written this beautiful paragraph, which it is the
product of his daily meditation practice:
-
-
- Bearing
in mind the Unity of all beings
in one soul, the multiplicity of forms is just an illusion: it is the
result of the aggregation of elements determined by causes as consequence of
previous events...‘The Lay of Nature in action’. A flower's shape is the
result of the aggregation of multiple molecules determined by the genetic
and epigenetic information in the cells of the plant, influenced by a
constellation of environmental factors such as weather and soil, among many
others...
-
- ‘It appears’
in the relative world, that we live in our bodies which are different one
another due to similar reasons like the above mentioned. Although it is only
an appearance, an exterior manifestation due to the Lay of Nature, our
consciousness belongs to another nature, a common 'One', the Absolute Truth.
If you look deep enough into the deep mind - through the process of
concentration Meditation o Vipassana - you can discover this Unity, the Absolute Truth in
diversity; and compassion and fraternal love will rise spontaneously as the
logical result of sharing a common nature with the Whole, and with each
formal expression and being in the Universe.
