How to
become a perfect Buddha Introduction The
name ‘Buddha’ is derived from the nominalization of the past perfect
participle of the Sanskrit root verb ‘budh’, meaning: be awake or wakeful,
regain consciousness; become aware of or acquainted with; notice, give heed
to; possibly, perceive, understand learn, know, and so on. In short, if
you’re awake, i.e. not asleep, in a coma or dead, you are a buddha. If you
are fully or perfectly (hence absolutely) awake or conscious, then you are a
full or perfect buddha, whereby the content, range and degree of your
wakefulness or consciousness is not determined. For instance, Gautama
Siddartha didn’t just claim to be a Buddha, He claimed to be The Perfect Buddha
(Pali: samma-sambudho), i.e. of suffering. 2500 years of hindsight and
tinkering with the content of His ‘perfect’ awakening/consciousness of
suffering has shown that His grasp of the fundamental function of suffering
was pretty basic, indeed incomplete, indeed merely a highly personalised
elaboration of the recently emerged (i.e. with the metaphysical speculation
of the Upanishads) fashion of melancholy (in fact, self-indulgent
Weltschmerz), and the means of its elimination (i.e. as in Samkhya Yoga), invented
by wealthy, hence leisured cattle farmers and soldiers. Steps ·
Wake up, i.e. become conscious (of a particular focus or all foci,
e.g. a knower of the known). You are now a Buddha, albeit imperfect. ·
Increase you wakefulness to your limit, thereby making your
wakefulness relatively perfect, i.e. done, complete whole and so on. You are
now a relatively perfect (i.e. complete) Buddha (i.e. absolutely (i.e.
perfectly) wakeful in relation to your particular focus or all foci). ·
Expand your wakefulness limit (i.e. your consciousness bandwidth) to
infinity thus eliminating all limits. When your wakefulness happens without
limit it has become absolutely perfect, done, full, complete and so on. You
are now an absolutely Perfect Buddha (i.e. in relation to a particular focus
or all foci). Tips & Tricks ·
Proceed very slowly and discretely to gain a clear and rational grasp
of the steps. ·
Read the well hidden small print of the foundational Buddhist sutras very
slowly to uncover the glitches ·
Keep your wits about you. Warnings ·
Be wary of ‘Awakening’ (i.e. Buddhist) cult officials who get their
kicks from, or make a living at passing off archaic know-how and praxis as
cure-all. The stated purpose of Buddhist awakening and praxis, Hinayana,
Mahayana and Tantrayana, is to shut down the urge to (i.e. the desire for)
life, i.e. of the one you’ve got and any future ones you might get. ·
Becoming a perfect Buddha, i.e. becoming totally aware of everything
in your field (or all fields) of consciousness, i.e. from start-up (i.e.
birth) to shut down (i.e. death), is a mixed blessing. There are some things
you don’t really want to know, i.e. if you want to live out your life in
happiness.
