WHO & WHAT
WAS - IS
BUDDHA
●
AND
WHAT IS BUDDHISM?
●
There are many variations concerning Buddhism but with only two basic divisions. The Great Vehicle & The Lesser Vehicle
●
These being
Mahayana
&
Hinayana
●
Easy enough for anyone to research but here we concentrate on the form of Hinayana Buddhism as practiced in Burma under
Theravada Buddhism
in contrast to
Vajrayana, Tantric, Buddhism
of
Tibet.
●
We go to
Bagan, Burma
for answers.
●
●
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
WHAT DO YOU FEEL?
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
●
This is a small fraction of what ix in
Bagan
The
SACRED SANCTUARY
THE
KINGFOM OF BURMA
●
What does it represent?
●
Do you only see bricks, stone, wood, gold, and
statues?
●
Well there is that but everything is made by individual hands
●
Each temple, shrine, pagoda is build by an individual or tribe sharing in the construction but not to build tombs for themselves or eben places to worship, they are built for everyone to see and be enlightened.

●
It is not by following a path leadint to a light, whether of green, red, yellow or white.
●
There isn't any path that leads you anywhere. You have to create your own oath ir have someone create itbfor you but if someone creates it for you then you will reach ths enlightenment they provide you.
●
Now in using the word sacred in Buddhism means being of spiritual or of a religious nature but one can embrace the sacred by following a philosophy of one's owm amd that creates the path you follow.
●
The sacred structures in Bagan are not religious yet they create a spiritual faith revealing what is in the minds of the one that creates, designd, buildt them.
●
They are to be looked upon and be reminded of somerhing greater than yourself.
●
From this they lead you to enlightenment whilst you still live. You need not die to be enlightened and Nirvana or Heaven, Paradise is allowed you in life on Earth.
●
That is if you abide by ...tthat which is good, true and noble
but
That is what only you can know.
●
NOW WHO AM I?
●
That is simple to know
●
Again I was murdered before I was 21 but decided to continue reincarnation in order to complete what I started, and again as the
