4 MARAs
Whether you participate for personal development or for spiritual development, the four maras of Buddhist / Hindu teachings are a great tool during the observation to find out what am I actually doing. For Buddha it were the last demonic powers that he had to overcome
Devaputra mara Looking for fun
Skandha mara To recreate ourselves, to take back territory
Klesha mara Using our emotions to keep ourselves numb or dazed
Yama mara Fear of death
WHAT IS LIGHTING?
“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with getting better or happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling of untruths. It looks through the façade of pretending. It is the complete eradication of everything that we thought was true ”.
Quote: Adyashanti
Man:
I want happiness
BUDDHA:
First remove "I" this is ego.
Then remove "want" this is desire.
Finally all that remains is
"HAPPINESS"
