ENLIGHTENMENT OF MIND Lankavatara Mindfulness

<p>About 2500 years ago Gautama Buddha lived and walked this earth for 45 years after his awakening. Many people took notes and presented them in various Sutras. One of the oldest was a fragmented work with such extreme viewpoints that it sat on the self mainly for the last 1400 years. This little book is the Buddha's words from that work the Lankavatara Sutra translated by D.T. Suzuki and transliterated by me. In short my favorite parts are modemized and presented with prose demonstrating their effect on me. To the best of my knowledge this is not a message you will have heard before. The Buddha instructs on listening sudden awakening duality the stages of consciousness and basically the physics psychology and biology of oneness. This message is about the reality of oneness not as a metaphoric or philosophical term but as the reality of total interdependence and the natural enlightenment of a quiet discerning mind. As I have sought right understanding I hope you can relate. On this short work I've cut out everything but the marrow. So there's not room to give sufficient credit to all the teachers gurus and enlightened masters for whom I am and always will be only a student and scribe. To honor them I'll use only my ceremonial Tibetan name given by Kalu Rinpoche in 1986. </p>
