The Zen Master warns: "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him!" This admonition points up the fact that no meaning that comes from outside of ourselves is real!
The "Buddhahood" of each of us has already been obtained. We need only recognize it!
Philosophy, religion, patriotism, all are empty idols. The only meaning in our lives is what we each bring to them.
Killing the Buddha on the road means destroying the hope that anything outside of ourselves can be our master! No one is any "bigger" than anyone else. There are no "mothers" and "fathers" for grown-ups, only "sisters" and "brothers!"
We must each give up the Master, without giving up the search for TRUTH!

There is no other way but within as Jesus The CHRIST said, " I AM IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE."

As what the CWG said...YOU and GOD are ONE and you have to realize this!

10-27-2009, 07:19 PM #140Whether pilgrims or wayfairers, while seeking to be taught the "TRUTH" (or something), disciples learn only that there is nothing that anyone else can teach them! Originally Posted by miyay

They learn --- once they are willing to give up being taught --- that they already know how to live, that it is implied in their own tales. The secret is that there is no secret!
Everything is just what it seems to be. This is it! There are no hidden meanings.
