I am God, you are God, God is within us. You have to sink deep within yourself, to know yourself. And maybe then you'll realize the God within you. At the same time, you'll realize that that same God that exists within you also exists within others. Thus, You exert yourself into a universal force that exists within you.
All the universe with its stars. All the universe within yourself.
It is almost too easy to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of this philosophically empowering principle. This principle that is called the Mystic Law is far too great. It is no match for our human capacity to comprehend. However, what isn't without our reach when we know the power we possess? What if I told you that you are the center of your environment?
What if I tell you: you, yourself, can reach an ultimate state of enlightenment?
Would that entice your inquisitive nature?
Would you be inclined to investigate this door I have just opened for you?
Perhaps, you are eager for knowledge.
Do you thirst for wisdom?
Buddhists believe that the Buddha was enlightened, which means that he knew all about how to live a peaceful life and how to not to suffer in an afterlife. They think he never got depressed, frustrated, upset or confused. He is said to have never argued with other people, but just said what was true and useful, out of compassion.
Sujin Boriharnwanaket taught:
“If one studies the Buddhist scriptures one will see the Buddha's compassion. He taught the Dharma to those who wanted to listen, he taught for the sake of their benefit and wellbeing. He wanted to help the listeners and did not want any misfortune to occur to them, no matter who they were. Even shortly before his final passing away he still taught the Dharma to Subhadda who became the last disciple in the presence of the Buddha himself. This clearly shows his great compassion.
Some Buddhists pray to Buddhas, but Buddhas are not gods. Buddhas are just teachers, to help people who will listen. A Buddha is a human being who has woken up and can see the true way the world works. This knowledge totally changes the person beyond birth, death, and rebirth. Nothing can annoy him anymore, even the circulation of incarnation, since his enlightenment put him outsides of this eternity circle in time and space. This person can help others become enlightened too in a proper way.
