There was a small country in what is now southern Nepal that was ruled by a clan called the Shakyas. The head of this clan, and the king of this country, was named Shuddodana Gautama, and his wife was the beautiful Mahamaya. Mahamaya was expecting her first born. She had had a strange dream in which a baby elephant had blessed her with his trunk, which was understood to be a very auspicious sign to say the least.

How do I know if I’m having a moment of realization

Question: How do I know if I’m having a moment of realization or if I’m just deluding myself (still in ego)?
Answer:
Zenkei Blanche Hartman: I think that if there is an actual experience of reality, if you are seeing just this, as-it-is, you will recognize at once: “Oh, so that’s how it is!” The unmistakable reality of the experience will be clear. The delusion part is any thought such as “I” am “having” a moment of realization. That is, imagining a “self” separate from some “not self” is delusion, and imagining a “moment of realization” as an object that can be grasped by a self is also delusion. The very idea of a “self” separate from some “other” is the negation of how we actually exist in the world. Each being includes the whole universe and is included in the whole universe. There is no separation.

We had a very interesting class this past Monday, December 19, 2011. There were a lot of good questions about the seven factors of awakening, which has been our weekly topic since moving to the new location. Almost every question was answered but, as always, we ran out of time to explore our monkey minds.
