There is no mind. (90)
bodleing2: That wasn't humour, the intention was to mock.
Btw, as I have said on here many times, I am not practising Buddhist, nor have I ever claimed to be.
I thought it was kind of funny to put the same words in a different order to alter their meaning ... Btw, as I have said on here many times, I am not practising Buddhist, nor have I ever claimed to be.
You may not be a practising buddhist but you are forever quoting them without actually writing opinions in your own words hardly ever, which would be nice for a change ...

However, the information is similar in many books.
Anyway, we seem to have the same tastes, or philosophy in life?

Selenite: so glad you're fine and awesome as far as you're consciously aware
May be dreams are scripted by your subconcious and the lighting fed from your connection to source. Or lack of it. In which case the actors may have been borrowed from the last serie noire you watched.
Thank you!May be dreams are scripted by your subconcious and the lighting fed from your connection to source. Or lack of it. In which case the actors may have been borrowed from the last serie noire you watched.
Even with a french name I am devoid of any serie noire dreams. Most of my dreams are rustic comedies and or perplexing introductions to people of some significance with somewhat mesmerizing lighting.Someone keeps reappearing as well which means (sadly) that they fear facing me.
So hows you?

probably just as well! Interesting about the lighting...
The person who meeps reappearing may be showing you something about yourself ... may be you fear facing yourself ....
As far as I'm consciously aware I'm fine and dandy. Visiting my kids and grandkids in England ...

Perhaps but no. This s a real poyson. However your statement could be reflective as you suggest so I would not overlook that.Interesting about the lighting...

Could also be symbolic ... like a warning ... you're about to repeat the same pattern with somebody else as you did with that person... or somebody you recently met is just like that person but not immediadely apparent ... Oh sweet. Enjoy!
Thanks

BB_snickers: “Events happen, deeds are done, but there is no individual doer thereof.”
~'Buddhist'
You are not a body.
And there is no mind; only activities/thoughts/images happening in awareness/consciousness.
When people think that they have to silence their 'mind' in order to meditate or to control their mind they are unaware that you cannot silence what does not exist. An unmeasurable futility.
It seems strange you should say that as the real aim for a Buddhist is to achieve Bohdichitta, (enlightened mind.)~'Buddhist'

Once Bodhichitta is realised (emptiness)the person becomes a Buddha. However, in Buddhist teachings the mind is just a space, pure luminosity with no shape, size, smell or form. So I guess given those charactaristics (or lack of them, it's easy to see why we must conclude that Buddhists do not believe in a mind.
What they dont believe is that anything exists intrinsically alone from it's own side. The body can't exist, if the mind was part of the body, it couldn't exist. We create a reality based on our limited senses, but it's really just an illusion.

Yeah, the first statement of my OP isn't a verified buddha or buddhism quote though there are similar statements in buddhism. I suppose some of the originals have been translated to simplify meanings or practitioners have chosen the most expedient version in relaying the ideas.Once Bodhichitta is realised (emptiness)the person becomes a Buddha.
