nothing secret

when there is nothing, there is no secret. no answer available.
when there is nothing secret, answer is still there…

is it really empty

akdonchampi — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 16:14:23 +0000

once a cup is empty(of water), it is it full of air,
once the five skandas (form, feeling, perception, intention, consciousness) are empty, it is full of life.

the art

akdonchampi — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 07:18:06 +0000

the art of stillness design, arrangement and articulation may lead the mind to more question, interpretation and speculation, but all that are unnecessary nor require any intellectual answer, just an appreciation of the harmony of its stillness and emptiness.

The meaning

the meaning of word buddha is wake up.

I’m sorry. Please forgive me.

akdonchampi — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 17:01:36 +0000

I’m sorry. Please forgive me. This is a huge mistake leading me to write down most of the stuff around here. All is true only when it is. But once I write it down, once I said it out. It is no more the truth. Please forgive me. And as I already written it down, hopefully it can inspire oneself. And shall this mistake, be understood to point you back to you own true nature pathway. Then, this mistake will be worthwhile.

no truth out there

the truth exist. it always here. once it is organised, it is false.

i am dead.

akdonchampi — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 09:34:21 +0000

One is dying every moment, and by that one can keep creating oneself. To be alive is to allow being dead at the same time. Surrender is the way of embracing death while one is alive here in the now. Attaching oneself to past events and sense of one’s I, me and mine, are only way of one trying to live in the past, which is the time that is dead and gone. Being dead is not to be mistaken with having to live in the past, but by being dead in the now is possible by choosing to surrender. The ego keeps holding on the known, but it is the unknown which is life. And ego afraid with the unknown.

Learn the form

akdonchampi — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:05:55 +0000

Learn the form, but seek the formless.
Hear the soundless.
Learn it all then forget it all.
Learn the way, then find your own way.

Embracing the Tao

akdonchampi — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:39:54 +0000

Sink into the stillness of the Tao(pronounced as Dao).
Being sick of the sickness.
Just live like water.
The Tao know what is best for me.

Sutra of the Master of Healing (medicine buddha dharani)

akdonchampi — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:00:39 +0000

“Therefore the World’s Most Venerable entered into a Samadhi called the Removal of Suffering for All Beings. While He was in this contemplation a great radiance of light of light was sent forth from his Ushnisa, and he pronounced the great Dharani as follows:

NAMO BHAGAVATE BHAISAJAYA-GURU-VAIDURYA-PRABHA-RAJAYA TATHAGATAYA ARHATE SAMYAKSAMBUDDHAYA TADYATHA
OM BHAISAJYE BHAISAJYE BHAISAJYA SAMUDGATE SVAHA

When He, in his radiance, had spoken this mystical formula, the earth was shaken and emitted a great light. All beings were delivered from their diseases and miseries, they are now happy because their bodies and minds are at rest. “

Meditation technique:

“The primary technique in the meditation consists of imagining ourself to be the Medicine Buddha, conceiving of yourself as the Medicine Buddha. By replacing the thought of yourself as yourself with the thought of yourself as the Medicine Buddha, you gradually counteract and remove the fixation on your personal self. And as that fixation is removed, the power of the seventh consciousness is reduced. And as it is reduced, the kleshas or mental afflictions are gradually weakened, which causes you to experience greater and greater well-being in both body and mind.”
