Should I post this article to the list. If yes, please do so.
In fact this article may be good for Mahayana or Tibtean Buddhists who are
on Lotus Sutra. Thanks

(This article explains Lotus Sutra, and its understanding is not
for everyone as told by Guatam Buddha) The Emptiness / Void divided
itself and produced vibrations of billions and billions of varieties. Its
bye-product was Energy and matter that is the cause of this Universe that
we see. Further interaction between these various vibrations and
energy-matter has been causing this dynamic evolution in which human
beings are one of the products. Gods, Gurus and highly evolved humans or
normal humans are going down the evolution towards animal's etc., if you
see them being led by desires of power, prestige or ambitions sans the
WISDOM. But the WISDOM oriented humans and gurus are meant to go up to
become Gods or reach SUNIATA, the stage Buddha preached for us to reach.
This SUNIATA approaches Emptiness/Void without losing its connection with
its SONS of WISDOM.
SUNIATA of Buddhism is different from Emptiness (Void). Emptiness is
Advait. In emptiness there is no place for oneness or twos. Emptiness is
and nothing else is there. There is no knowledge, no ignorance in
emptiness. There is only Unity and peace, but n o one to note this Unity
and peace. But SUNIATA has evolved through the process of evolution.
SUNIATA has involved effort, intelligence and wisdom from life. SUNIATA
can approach emptiness by collecting all the vibrations and going into
Unity, through the
process of discarding unnecessary memory, intelligence and wisdom. But
emptiness is UNSTABLE, while SUNIATA remains stable by keeping the minimum
necessary wisdom, knowledge and memory. Existence in SUNIATA is balanced,
practical and peaceful. SUNIATA is advocated in Buddhism. Lotus sutra
starts with Guatam Buddha expounding on the "Infinite Meaning" (chapter
1). Infinite meaning indicates the variety of ways this evolution has
taken. All the Christians will merge in Christ, same way as all Buddhist
will become one with SUNIATA . In India there are many such groups.
Nirankaris, Radhaswamy's, Sikhs etc. But SUNIATA as the name indicates is
bound to be nearest to Emptiness. At some later stage all other groups
have to merge together to be as near to Emptiness as is possible.
Diagrammatically Emptiness can be represented as a disappearance of a
point, and a point can represent a smallest vibration (kalapa), while
SUNIATA is represented by a conical hill. The base of conical hill
contains billions of vibrations kalapas, each vi bration with different
information or memory, and top of the cone by a single point of SUNIATA,
having only the memory that the total base below are the SONS.
As the waves in an ocean arise and then dissolve away, same way the
universes arise and dissolve away in the ocean of emptiness. In the part
of universe we live in, Vedas (ancient Hindu sacred books) give the life
of our Universe as 4294070000 years. Duri ng this period many parts of our
universe will die and be reborn and Hindus call this phenomenon by the
names of small, medium and maha parlays. . Maha parlay means total
dissolution of our universe, and reborn universe will be different like a
new wave a rising in the ocean.
Emptiness is infinite and universes arising and dissolving are also
infinite in number. But now after the advent of Guatam Buddha our earth as
well as our universe will not dissolve away in emptiness when maha parlay
comes, but it will be a part of SUNIAT A Universe.
__________________________EXPLANATION__________________________
GOING DOWN
Let me start with Bhoddisattva Avalokitesvara. He was sitting near the sea
on an island and was coursing in the deep Prajna Paramita and sitting
there just watching the sea waves arising and falling away (Heart Sutra).
He got the enlightenment through dee p WISDOM.
Avalokitesvara was just watching the waves, but his mind was in deep
meditation, where it was tuned to the WISDOM of the Buddha. His WISDOM
was telling him that this vast infinite space is just like a sea, in which
vibrations (sound) waves were reverberating here and there creating waves
of Creations. Some of these Creations were long and some short (billions
upon billions miles). Some were very high or deep and some low or
shallow. None of the waves of this Creation were of same size along the
length, breath or height. But the amazing thing was that as this empty
space was breaking in vibrations, the BYE-PRODUCT was Energy. Vibrations
or waves were further breaking into higher frequencies of vibrations and
each time BYE-PRODUCT was Energy. Vast energies were thrown out as waste
and some of these energies condensed to form Mass in the form of Stars,
Suns, Galaxies, Nebulae, Milky ways etc. Cause was the instability of
vast space creating the vibrations here and there and Effect was billions
of vast Universes of various sizes and depths.
This Earth is bye-product. Your body is bye-product. Vibrations are the
Reality. Vibrations inside the body are what you can hear when in SILENCE.
All thoughts are vibrations, Mind is all vibrations. You may do any
changes with this material world, but you will get what your vibrations
are meant for. Nothing more and nothing less. Change your inner vibrations
and you can change the outer world. Outer material world has no
independent existence. Any ac tion done by us to change the material world
is the Effect and the Cause is the thought vibration behind the action.
That is the gist of Vedic philosophy.
When the first vibration came out of Emptiness, the Effect was EGO. This
wave which came out of the sea of Emptiness had its own peculiar
characteristics giving it an individuality of Separateness. I am the wave.
I am different from others. Subsequent further breaking of this vast EGO
went on thereby increasing the frequency and reducing the space volume.
Guatam Buddha could see with his WISDOM eye the smallest vibration that
our part of Universe has broken into and gave it the name of Kalapa.
Guatam Buddha gave the size of kalapa about 1/46656 part of a particle of
dust from the wheel of a chariot on a hi ghway. Kalapa is different from
kappas, which is unit of time and is also different from kalap, which is
also unit of time in Sanskrit. These kalapas die and are reborn billions
upon billions of times in a second.
GOING UP
The biggest Vibration was billions upon billions of cubic miles and its
life was billions upon billions years. The smallest Vibration was
billionth size of an electron and had had life of billionth upon billionth
second. Every time a smaller vibration came in contact with a bigger
vibration, its EGO was getting hurt or neglected due to its size and life.
This gave it a desire to GO UP.
GOING UP is what the modern scientist call EVOLUTION.
Evolution took many paths. One method was a collective of the same type
of kalapas (vibrations)to go up to some extent. Second method was
collectives of different vibration kalapas to gather different
information. This will be same as increasing the memory intelligence and
logic. Many Kalapas will get together and form a cohesive group each
Kalapa having same or different knowledge. Third method was following a
leader/ guru. In this method leader/guru does not have to know each and
every kalapa following him, but he can tap their knowledge/strength for
self or collective use. Moreover leader will have higher size (ego) and
longer lif e as well. Fourth method was seeding the followers with their
consent. I shall come to this method later.
Etc. etc.
Human body has evolved using all these methods of evolution. First it
formed memory body called astral body in different vibration planes.
Second it formed faster moving and longer life thinking body called lower
mental body from lower vibration plane taking over many vibration planes.
Third it formed logic body called higher mental body. Fourth was Buddhic
body. Then Atmic body was formed etc. etc.
All these bodies formed of different type of kalapas with different life
and size were totally devotional to the human person say named "A". "A"
as a leader does not know how these kalapas are working. Some form blood,
some bones, skin, some digest food, some fight the enemies, and many keep
memories, logic, intelligence, wisdom etc.
The life span of the present human being corresponds to approx. 60 to 100
years depending upon his presence in particular vibration plane. But as
per Lotus Sutra (chapter 7)intelligent life was already forming at higher
levels where mass had not yet formed. This higher life was made from
energy and vibrations. There is life in higher planes where life of
evolved leader is 85000 years or more
and that life has a height of 80 meters. This Lotus sutra tells us of the
first Buddha named Dipankara Buddha who had such a long life and he had
achieved the highest WISDOM of Buddha. Life of Dipankara Buddha goes
billions upon billions upon billions ye ars back. Dipankara Buddha was
born in a very great wave of life of Universe, and had grown to become
first Buddha. He developed an extra ordinary WISDOM eye. He developed a
new method of seeding to save his Universe from Maha-paralay. This method
was suc h that other Universes in the neighborhood will merge in his
Universe and keep alive his Universe. He had 16 sons. Guatam Buddha was
one of them. He seeded in them with their consent the WISDOM Spirit of
Buddha and sent them in 16 different directions to different neighborhood
Universes. This incident had happened billions of Maha-parlays before.
That means that the universe of Dipankara is surviving and keeping the
WISDOM even now and hence could pass on this WISDOM to Guatam Buddha some
2500 years durin g 49 days. Guatam Budddha spent 7 weeks after enlightment
receiving this WISDOM at Bodhgaya. Guatam Buddha was born in our part of
Universe by coming down to higher vibration plane from the Universe of
Dipankara. He brought with him the SUNIATA SPIRITUAL energy in the form of
a seed. He repeatedly took births all the time Wisdom of the Seed was k
eeping him restless to find the truth. The ignorant higher vibration of
this Saha (our) world covered this truth. He discarded power of Kings,
again and again and in each birth he was growing, till at a critical
moment when he had sufficient critical high er vibration energy, which
could tune to Wisdom of Dipankara Buddha in Bodhgaya some 2500 years
before below a banyan tree. At that moment all the WISDOM flowed down to
Guatam Buddha from Dipankara Buddha. This same process is being repeated
in other mill ions of surrounding Universes in remaining 15 directions.
This seed of Guatam Buddha will now convert whole of our universe and
surrounding universes in SUNIATA spirit energy. This will not only prolong
the Universe of Dipankara, but also do the same for other 15 universes.
Emptiness is infinite. There will be universe always available for
seeding. Seeding process will go on expanding. This way SUNIATA will
survive for eternity. Buddhas will survive. Our Universe will survive, and
we all will also survive after merging together in Buddhas. This part of
Dipankara universe will be like a huge ball of peace and stability in the
sea of emptiness surrounded by huge waves of universes arising and
perishing. Our s survival will be at SUNIATA level and our WISDOM will
always be expanding after collecting WISDOM OF different evolutionary
methods of other universes from surroundings ever increasing the size of
this ball.
Guatam Buddha due to this achieved WISDOM from Dipankara Buddha,on
this earth seeded many persons on the Eagle peak towards the end of his
life while talking on Lotus Sutra. He told the entire gathering that he is
tying a GEM in their clothes (chapter 8- 9 of Kumarjiva's English
translation of Lotus Sutra). This GEM or seeded WISDOM spirit energy will
at suitable time come up and give them WISDOM to lead a life of
Boddhisattva with a final goal of Buddha. Guatam Buddha was seeded by
Dipankara Buddha a few
billion (years ago and benefited from Him, and he used the same method on
bhoddhisattvas. (Dipankara Buddha is mentioned by the English translation
of Kumarjiva as Daitsuchisho Buddha in chapter 7).
The author is one of the persons who benefited from this seeding.
Lotus Sutra also tells of a parable of JEWELLED DOME and
appearance of a TAO Buddha from below the earth (CHAPTER 11). In fact he
is telling us that this Buddha energy will go down further below to
collect still higher vibration life through seeding meth od, where a life
will be only of 8-10 years, but the WISDOM will be achievable because of
highly fractional Spirit energy.
Heart Sutra also supports this SUNIATA. It tells those highest WISDOM
(Prajna Paramita) lies in abiding in void for all. It tells that the
Bhoddisattva should understand that all the Dharmas (emotional Nature) and
all the Skandhas (various spirit energy b odies like astral body, lower
mental body, atmic or buddhic bodies etc.) are EMPTY.
Now last of all let me come to J.Krishnamurty. His advice all along was
UNITY. Emptiness is united. Suniata leads towards unity. Our whole body
works on the principal of unity of kalapas. If a person fills in emotions
of disunity like hatred, jealousies, fear or does action which
disharmonies the unity of surroundings like theft, br eaking of social
surroundings, immoral actions, his body kalapas also get disunited
accordingly. He as a consequence he suffers diseases of physical body or
mind. His growth stops and he suffers pains of agony and hell. If the
same person cultivates factors of unity like love, devotion, compassion,
service, sacrifice, his inside body kalapas also develop the same
qualities and there is unity, peace and growth inside and outside of his
body. Fruits are prosperity, health and growth physically and mentally.
Unity of kalapas leads to growth of personality.
Unity of humans leads to Gods and Goddess.
Unity of Gods and Goddess leads to Buddhahood.
Unity of Buddhas leads to Adibuddhas.
Unity of Adibuddhas leads to Suniata.
And peacefulness and WISDOM oriented stable Suniata is only rival to
Omnipotent, Omnipresent but ignorant Emptiness.
SUNIATA is what we are destined for. One could opt for Emptiness/void by
surrendering himself. His evolved body kalapas in form of emotions,
thoughts, intelligence etc. will disperse and be absorbed by Bhoddisattvas
or Gods and goddess and will no more re ach Emptiness, but will go into
SUNIATA.
This is the COSMOS of CAUSE and EFFECT.
