I just became a master
    #23843495 - 11/17/16 09:14 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I was reading my favorite book about Buddhism and it all came together.  Now my plan is to liberate other beings.  How can I help you?

I like Jack Kornfield for beginners.  His book The Wise Heart is what turned me on.  There's an audio version for free on youtube.  It's different than the book but it's still good.  Just search the wise heart.

The Buddha was really far out.  He was a real person, and was extremely hardcore.  He was so hardcore, he's famous to this day.

perhaps you need to go deeper?

for example:
http://zennist.typepad.com/zenfiles/2011/03/saving-all-sentient-beings.html

"Saving all sentient beings

One of the clues to saving all sentient being lies in the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika-prajñâ-parâmitâ Sutra), a Sutra which helps to reveal the Buddha’s Diamond Mind which is the fundamental Mind of all Buddhas.

While the yet-to-become-a-Buddha Bodhisattva is overwhelmed with the task of saving all sentient beings, Buddhas, on the other hand, do not suffer from this difficulty.  No matter how great the number of sentient beings in samsara, it is more like a huge dream to them.  In other words, a Buddha does not see sentient beings the way a Bodhisattva does—a fledgling Bodhisattva we add.  ..."

also another example:

In Dzogchen, the metaphor most commonly used to describe our situation is that of a mirror and its reflections. The reflections in a mirror are like the thoughts in our mind, which if we don't recognize as being an illusory, impermanent, unmediated, manifestation of our true nature, we will react to, identify with, become conditioned by, absorbed in and embody. Our true nature state, on the other hand, is likened to the mirror itself, which underlies and embraces all of the reflections, all the while remaining pure and changeless, never being tainted or stained by any of the reflections. It is important to realize that each thought in our mind is like a dream; once we become absorbed in a thought, we have literally entered a complete dream universe and have evoked and stepped into an illusory, limited and arbitrary identity which we experience as being who we truly are. In Dzogchen, if we get immersed in our dream-like thoughts and don't recognize the pure, mirror-like nature of our mind, we are literally considered to be nonlucidly dreaming.

The problem is that as long as we are identified with and absorbed in the imagination or thought of being a separate self we are going to resist part of our experience, as resistance and contraction are themselves the very expression of the separate self. Once we, as a separate self, see that we are resisting our experience, we will undoubtedly try and not resist, which is just another, more subtle form of resistance, and we will find ourselves in a self-created double bind, a prisoner of our own mind once again.

Dzogchen truly offers us the key to liberation; from the Dzogchen point of view, these contractions and resistances are themselves seen to be the unmediated expression of the enlightened mind itself. If we don't recognize this, we will react to our resistance like it is something real and separate from ourselves, seeing it as a true obstruction to our enlightenment. If our resistance is seen in this way, it will, in no time whatsoever, spontaneously shape-shift and manifest as a seemingly genuine obscuration, as it is nothing other than our own reflection, and we will once again be caught in the infinite regression known as samsara or cyclic existence.

On the other hand, if we recognize our resistance as the unmediated expression of our enlightened nature itself, which is none other than to become lucid in the dream, not only does the resistance not last very long, but it ceases to be problematic, as we are no longer resisting our resistance, and have thus snapped out of our infinite regression. The resistance then reveals itself to be the very vehicle through which we have deepened our realization, as we have embraced even the part of ourselves that is non-embracing.

Check out Kornfield's talks with Duncan Trussell on Kornfield's Heart Wisdom Hour on Mindpod Network. Funny stuff.

I have copies of the Diamond Sutra and the Heart Sutra with translation and commentary by Red Pine.  I also have a book with snippets of many sutras.  I like Red Pine because he speaks fluent Chinese and also gets help with Sanskrit and Tibetan versions and commentaries before he finalizes.
I have been reading the Diamond Sutra lately, quite a bit.  I have some of the Dalai Lama's books and he told me I should read all the sutras!  I have heard of the Tipitaka or Tripitaka.  One day, may I collect all the sutras i will become wise beyond all measure.

I truly will.  It's been my experience that the more I study, the more I evolve geometrically.

Well if you are sincere and devoted I'll leave you this link to a collection of all the original sutras, short, medium, and long (canon). It contains over 1,000 translated sutras from the Pali Canon which is essentially the Guts and Bones of the Buddhas Teachings in story, speeches, allegory, poem , and more.  All while Gotama was actually alive.


http://www.accesstoinsight.org/index.html

It is a massive compendium of knowledge and wisdom and is essentially what monastic Monks use only its digital.

Familiarize this website and all it has to offer and you wont need to have to rely on second hand sources like the Dali Lama ( who is a good man , but a spokes person like the pope ) , or other Lamas and Meditation practitioners.

You read them, study them, learn them.  Then implement them in your own life after exercising discernment and it will lead you as Gotama led the first of his followers of Bikkhus.  I have spent years using this single website because of its accuracy, its honesty, and it is without a doubt one of the most useful resources in daily practice I have ever discovered.
