Buddhic Ray

Can anyone here tell me about the Buddhic ray?

It's a infrared laser that turns the subject into a Buddha! Nah, I have no clue, actually. It sounds like something to do with celestial Buddhas or along those lines. Got any more information on it? Such as the context it's used in? Googling it didn't offer much help.

Great idea! Do they sell them on ebay? I could shoot myself. Or do the bodhisattvic thing and shoot others.

Seriously, i've never heard of Buddhic ray either. Does it have anything to do with Buddhism? Lots of times i google Buddhist terms and up comes songs, rock bands, tech companies, or clothing lines. It could be anything.

The violet-ray body may perhaps be understood as what you might call the Buddha body or that body which is complete.

The violet-ray or Buddhic body is of equal efficacy to the healer for within it lies a sense of wholeness which is extremely close to unity with all that there is.

Just for fun:
If you ever experience being hit by the Buddhic ray you will gain about 10 kilos and begin to smile allot just as the statue of buddha..

What's that from? New Age Buddhism?
.

From what little I have found on the term I assume it has something to do with a Bhodisattva. I found the following quote: "When a man, a human being, has reached the point where his ego becomes conscious, fully so, of its inner divinity, becomes clothed with the buddhic ray."

Was hoping someone else might know more.

Some New Agers come up with a "Ray" for everything. I think it's kind of silly.

Sorry, I've never heard of it and I've been a Buddhist for many years.

Take my advice and investigate what the historical Buddha actually taught - such as the Four Noble Truths. (See link below)

Ha ha.

"When a man, a human being, has reached the point where his ego becomes conscious, fully so, of its inner divinity, becomes clothed with the buddhic ray."

No idea, sorry.
The only thing I can think of is to break it down semantically, so radiating or emitting pure qualities from every aspect/pore of being.(?) Like what happens when one removes all defilements. Did I get that right? I'm a noob, sorry.

Do you happen to know the source of the quote? Is it from a bona fide Buddhist site or teacher? There are many out there who would tell you all about Buddhism who haven't a clue about it. There are problems with the statement. It's a very non-Buddhist way of putting it and i think, pretty far off. It looks all wrong. Divinity can be misleading.It is connected usually with a godhead in some form. Although deities are mentioned often in connection with Buddhism, they are NOT GODS. Remember, Buddhism is atheistic. A Great Bodhisattva has no Self, no ego, and many of them have never been human. They existed long before humankind and will long after humans become extinct. The existence span of the human species is but a blink of an eye to them.That doesn't mean that a human isn't capable of 'becoming' a bodhisattva. And there are probably different levels of 'bodhisattvahood'. I'm speaking of the great ones here like Avalokiteshvara or Vajrapani.

From Tricycle:

A BODHISATTVA IS an ordinary person who takes up a course in his or her life that moves in the direction of buddha. You're a bodhisattva, I'm a bodhisattva; actually, anyone who directs their attention, their life, to practicing the way of life of a buddha is a bodhisattva. We read about KannonBosatsu (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva) or MonjuBosatsu (Manjushri Bodhisattva), and these are great bodhisattvas, but we, too, have to have confidence or faith that we are also bodhisattvas.

Which disgustingly reduces the term/title to meaninglessness. There are lots of definitions of Bodhisattva out there. The more i know, see of a Bodhisattva, the less i can define it.

That said, i'm far from expert on everything Buddhist or Dzogchen either. I do, however, have some experience with the deeper end of Dzogchen and have a real teacher. I still feel the quote is a bit of New Age fluff.

Now as for the word ray as in ray of light, that's been used within my sangha. Our teacher once mentioned that that the rays of light emanating from lamas have been mistaken for wings and people think they are angels. I have seen rays of light emanating from a Bodhisattva during an initiation process. When i look at our teacher there is a glow about him and i have seen rays of light emanating from him at times during a teaching. I just remembered a practice involving visualizing Buddhas emanating a ray of different colors of light.
