The buddhahood Podcast

LOVE - Part 2. With these few terms we can define the Engine of Life, the experience of Buddhahood, and the Samsaric delusion that drives our physical desires. “Earthly desires” used to develop our Enlightenment, as Nichiren would encourage us, to discover the profound Love of Buddhist compassion 24/7. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

LOVE - Part 1. What is “love”? As a Buddhist, how should I understand love? Is love a useful emotion or something else? Is love just lust with some respect? “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

MahaPariNirvana Part 50. Our effective practice and propagation is a result of great attention to our use of language in transmitting correctly the teachings of Shakyamuni and Nichiren. Is our attitude and intent pure, honest, true? “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

MahaPariNirvana Part 49. How do we communicate the teachings and our experience of the practice? Is our attitude and intent pure, honest, true? “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

How long does it take? How do we know? Shakyamuni breaks down the reality of human mind and practice; the way information is twisted and disseminated with false views; and finally realization. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

MahaPariNirvana Part 47. Shakyamuni digs into the difference of potential and the expression of potential. He uses the analogies of butter, milk, cream and ghee to illustrate potential within all beings and the need for a process to express the potential, Buddhahood. That potential already “exists” within the human being, but can only be expressed through the process of the practice. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

The three treasures (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) are in fact, one. As the three bodies of Buddha are also but three aspects of the committed invocation of our 9th consciousness and the experience of the Engine of Life through the Tathagata-field. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon How to use this study resource : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suIQ89Nc3BU Buddhism resources : http://threefoldlotus.com www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon www.cafepress.com/shop/gohonzon/products PayPal.me/sifusylvain Patreon.com/TLK https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-yyerv-190dbb9 https://bsky.app/profile/sifusylvain.bsky.social

Chapter 11 takes the Four Inversions and dives into the Saha expression of the Tathagata Field in the experience of the Buddha Mind. That the two are one and not two.
