That's a good point. We can usually easily explain to somebody what something is in the world. But here, we are talking about understanding our own relationship with our own thoughts and mind. That can't really be told to another what it is. It takes self reflection and awareness to what is in our own now and reality. It can't be found in an idea or thought in other words, in teachings, only by one being aware of their own thoughts. So "understanding" can only be found by the person through insights into their own life. "It" or self understanding can't be taught or described. It is found by a person by themselves.

Who or what tells you there is more? That is local mind. What judges others? Local mind. What thinks? Local mind. In this now, right now, drop your ideas, your beliefs, your opinions, your stated "truths." Stop telling others what is, when that what is is just more ideas, more thoughts, more conceptual words, conceptual reality, more local mind. One can live all day in the conceptual, but Buddhism points to a new way to be and live and experience.

Buddhism is pointing to out of the box of all those things. Leave all that. This now is the only place the divine is found. It is here now or nowhere. Projecting it out into the future, or into the past is addiction to local mind. Addiction to thought and thinking. Never let another tell you that it is not here now, perfect as it is. Never accept you have to be something, do something, achieve something, need something more. We are it. We are love. We are peace. It's like people were hit by sticks from others, so then they hit others knowing no other way to be or act. Love means loving yourself and all else. Not letting others minds or your own abuse you. Telling you that you are lacking in some way. That now is not enough. That some kind of "more" is needed.

We are all the divine. The divine is here now, always. Nothing is lacking. We have just become fixated on negativity created by the computer that is our brain. By thoughts and judgements and interpretations. Our true selves are full of compassion and love. So let go of all this local mind stuff and be what we are, what we are when we stop seeking, stop trying to become something, achieve something, stop being so self centered, so into what we want and desire, everything we want and desire is here now, under all this noise.

Judging others is bad, judging ourselves is worse. Love yourself unconditionally and others as well. Let others be fixated on ideas if they want. Let them say this and that. It is all meaningless local mind made important in this now. The important thing in this now is freedom, freedom from self imposed jail cells. Freedom from all conflict created by the mind. This is Buddhism realized. practiced, understood, actualized, lived. There is no Buddhism as a idea anymore, it is liberation in this moment and then the out flowing of what we are and have always been. Love and peace. No conflict within and without.

The answer is never more words. More claims. More statements. It is looking within and without, seeing what is, right now, and then choosing liberation and attunement with the divine and unconditional love, which raises everything you are and project to a higher frequency. We are all the same divine consciousness, that are just choosing what now is to them and then projecting that outward into this world.

That is all very nice.

Yet if you haven't realized Buddha Nature..

Go do your practices..

Yes practice thinking of others more than oneself.
Make others lives better by you being here on earth.
Love all unconditionally without judgement, just with understanding and compassion. Do something for somebody else unselfishly. Practices that attune one with Buddha Nature. Carry love and peace, within and without always, no conflict within or without, no seeking, striving, or stress, that is the essence of Buddha Nature.

' Yes practice thinking of others more than oneself.'


A lot of people do seem to think this is what Buddha taught but when you dig a little deeper into His Teachings you will see that this isn't true and you yourself comes first

Starting with ' Self Care ' you require resources to give to others, you can't give what you haven't got.
Metta also start with ourselves, then radiates out to all Sentient Beings.
