No Death No Fear
This book contains a lot. I am finding it hard to write what it has done for me because I simply cannot write it down. Here are some quotes:-
Ch1
When conditions are sufficient things manifest [p3]
Our true nature is the nature of no birth no death. Only when we touch our true nature can we transcend the fear of non-being, the fear of annihilation. [p7]
Freedom above all is freedom from our own notions and concepts. [p11]
The meaning of emptiness .... means first of all to be free of a separate self. [p12]
All phenomena are neither produced nor destroyed because they are in a constant process of manifesting. [p13]
There is no birth, no death, no being no non-being no coming no going no same no different [p14]
Ch2
[pp19 -22] contain discussion of Nirvana without a concept of Nirvana. I don't understand it but I think it is important. [pp51-53] the same.
We want to go beyond ideas to have real insight which will burn up all our ideas and help us to be free. [p21]
We see that when all the conditions are sufficient something will manifest. What manifests does not come from anywhere. And when a manifestation ceases it does not go anywhere. [pp 33-4]
