Something One Has Been Searching For
Today is the 59th day of this Rains-Retreat, and in one month and one day, it will be the Rains-Exit day already. This Rains-Retreat has been designated as the season for attaining the Dhammakaya who dwells inside every person on earth whatever his race or creed, whether or not he knows about the Dhammakaya, and whether or not he believes in the Dhammakaya. Every person on earth has the Dhammakaya inside him.
Enlightened personages have discovered that they have the Dhammakaya inside them. All of them confirm that every person’s Dhammakaya looks exactly alike. The Dhammakaya is the Inner Triple Gem. He is gloriously beautiful because He possesses all the thirty-two special physical attributes of the Perfect Man. He is gloriously clear, clearer than anything on earth. Whatever a person looks like on the outside, he may be beautiful,homely, fat, thin, tall, short, dark, fair, etc. These are external differences but internally there is no difference. Every person’s Dhammakaya looks exactly alike.
To prove this fact requires one to put in the earnest effort to keep one’s mind completely still and quiet at the seventh base in the center of one’s body. The Dhammakaya cannot be found anywhere else inside or outside one’s body. He can be found only at the seventh base in the center of one’s body. Once one can bring one’s mind to a complete standstill in
the center of one’s body, one will see a very bright light. When one looks through this bright light, one will find the path leading to the Dhammakaya passing through different Dhamma Spheres and different Inner Bodies all the way to the Refined Non-Form Brahma Body and finally the Dhammakaya.
However, if one’s mind is not yet at a standstill, one can also see a Buddha Image except that each person will see a different looking Buddha Image. For example, a Japanese person will see a JapaneseBuddha Image; a Thai person will see a Thai Buddha Image; a Chinese person will see a Chinese Buddha Image, so on and so forth depending on one’s racial background and familiarity. Still, seeing the Buddha Image during meditation, whatever He may look like is still a very good thing. One should continue to stay with the Image and practice keeping one’s mind stiller and quieter until eventually one can see the real Inner Buddha or the Dhammakaya who will look exactly the same for everyone.
This truth must be personally proven and it can be proven by anyone.Once one has attained the Dhammakaya and proven to one’s self that He is real, true, and sublime, one will know true happiness which comes from one’s pure mind. It will be the kind of happiness one has never before experienced. One will come to know what one’s mind is like when it is filled to the brim with wholesomeness and goodness. It will be an experience completely different from the way one has ever felt seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching something previously. The purity of one’s mind will continue to increase, and the level of one’s happiness will also continue to multiply The Dhammakaya is real, true, and sublime. In all of the countless existences that one has been born a human being, one’s true objective is to search for the Dhammakaya. Have you ever wondered sometimes when you are completely alone that there is something you’ve been searching for which will make your life complete? And yet, the answer has eluded you.
One may think the answer can be found in a person, an ideal person. So one searches and searches for that ideal person, but he or she cannot be found. One may think the answer can be found in an ideal animal,a certain thing or material wealth. And yet, each time that one finds someone or something that may be it, the feeling only lasts so long and one is on the search yet again.It will not be until one can find the Dhammakaya that one will realize that the Dhammakaya is exactly what one has been searching for all of one’s life. The Dhammakaya meets one’s every wish. He causes one to feel truly fulfilled and contented. Everyone must make the time and effort to prove this truth to one’s self. Ehipassiko! Try it!
