on being

one view of the Buddha’s message

see under notes below for a note on this video

further to the talk in the video:

the whole – all that is – is what is

nothing is other than what is

nothing is other than the whole

nothing doesn’t change

nothing is perfect

nothing depends on nothing

nothing not a construct is an entity

only in the mind or by convention
is anything or anyone an entity

nothing is other than the whole

no one is

note that the video above is set to start when the speaker first addresses the topic without a break; the speaker begins on the topic, but with breaks for other features of the service, at around the nine-minute mark, when the video below is set to start

video from the Unitarian Church in Fall River, Massachusetts, November 6, 2022 (!?)

nothing doesn’t change … depends on nothing / anicca, dukkha, anatta (!?)

nothing is perfect / apart from the whole: dukkha/nirvana (!?)

nothing not a construct … / nothing that is not a construct is an entity

to be well is to pay attention to what is, to direct experience (!*)

further notes not appended to original on fewer wurdz

dukkha … duhkha (!?)

nibbana … nirvana (!?)

no one is / as any thought – or anything – arises, ask to whom it arises, and then ask: Who am I? (!*)

TK (!acro)
