1
When we look into a flower, we can see the fact that the many have come to the One.
2
many conditions have come together in order to help the flower to manifest as a wonder of light
3
that flower has been produced by the whole cosmos the sunshine the rain and a multitude of other elements
4
and you a human being, you are also a wonder of life.
5
The whole cosmos has come to produce us.
6
The many have come to be in the One.
7
We distinguish between the many and the One.
8
So the many has come to the One and have the One to manifest.
9
and then the question is where does the one go to where I'm going to after I die
10
after this body disintegrate where shall I go is there any continuation is there anything that is called afterlife
11
The answer is maybe the one goes to the all, go back to the all.
12
But the question here is whether it is necessary to go somewhere.
13
Have you really come from somewhere in space or time?
14
There's no need to come and to go.
15
Our true nature is the nature of no coming and no going.
16
that is the insight realized by the Buddha no coming no going
17
when conditions are sufficient you manifest
18
when conditions are no longer sufficient you don't manifest in that way you manifest in other ways according to the conditions
19
creation means from nothing you suddenly become something
20
and death destruction means from something you become nothing from being
21
you become non -being from someone you have to become no one and many of think of death as becoming no one.
22
What a pity!
23
What a wrong perception!
24
And in fact, you are free from all these pairs of opposites.
25
The greatest relief is obtained only when you are capable of touching the ground of your being,
26
the ground of your non -being.
27
Our true nature is the nature of no coming, no going, no birth, no death,
28
no being, and no non -being.
29
Because these are concepts, they are notions that cannot describe the ultimate reality.
30
The ultimate reality is free from both notions, being and non -being, birth and death.
31
It is wrong to say that God is.
32
It is wrong to say that God is not.
33
Because to be or not to be, that is not the question.
34
If you practice looking deeply enough, you realize that the true nature of reality is no birth, no death.
35
Otherwise, the dualistic view will prevent you to understand what God really is and what really is not.
36
Because to me, God is the ground of our being, but also the ground of our non -being.
37
And being and non -being are notions that cannot scare us.
38
once we have been able to touch nirvana.
39
Nirvana means the silence, the extinction of all notions and concepts.
40
Most of our sufferings come from our thinking, our notions, our ideas.
41
We suffer very much because our notions our fear our despair our anger all these
42
suffering are born from our ideas and our notions this is the message from the Buddha So, let's go.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
