Manjushri is the bodhisattva of wisdom and insight, penetrating into the fundamental emptiness, universal sameness, and true nature of all things. Manjushri ... sees into the essence of each phenomenal event. This essential nature is that not a thing has any fixed existence separate in itself, independent from the whole world around it. The work of wisdom is to see through the illusory self-other dichotomy, our imagined estrangement from our world. Studying the self in this light, Manjushri's flashing awareness realizes the deeper, vast quality of self, liberated from all our commonly unquestioned, fabricated characteristics.
... Manjushri cuts through our conventional conceptions of and attachments to abiding, increase and decrease, ordinary and holy, nirvana and samsara, arising and ceasing, aspiring, and grasping. Experiencing personally and clearly the perfection of wisdom that Manjushri expounds is about seeing through, and being liberated from, all limited views about these common snares of consciousness. (Bodhisattva Archetypes, p. 93 & 116)

Ounce upon a tootsie … a leg end began. seated on a throne of would. Born in a time of woah! It was still, without name or being. listening. Waiting. glint only when watched from multiple paces. This little invisible sat eating crud’s and ways. monster snacks. Untilled horrors of candy and spice and all things Nice. niece and relative.
however that is not our herstory. We must await that tolding from the future but not by hearing here but going then …
IT (HALLOWED BE HER info technology) amazes me that we can and do, good by people. How does it feel to support and care, to listen to diverse and insightful, talented and sincere people?
To me as a mere dancing drop in the ocean of chaos (Crustacean Buddhicus) it seems a wonderful way to commune. I prefer to be involved and engaged in such a mannered way.
Long live US (a revived ancient Mastodon) in our fragility, efforts, art, science and being friends to all. Even the X-fiends, dissed influencers, lost and foundlings, lurking loungers, miss fitted, #MysterMen and shades of dimensional rainbow.
As we find our nemesis, unfading fears, dreams of awakening and unvoiced peeps. We flow, divide and regroup. Give voice. Listen.
Pondering our every affiliation and divestment. Naked in our wrap. Hesitant but leaping.
Bravo to the mavericks, the pure, the mixed up and down. Shaking and stirred. Born in a mangy. Live despite all. We enduring the impossible dealings.
as an urbanite crustacean I am surrounded by wildlife, mostly human but can easily cycle or walk or be pushed in a wheelbarrow to natural surroundings such as the fish and chip shop … a yiddish traditional food site.
The national dish of BrexitLand is now curry as invented by the Portugueese. For example Chop Suey, pizza and #DeepFriedMars bars

OM YA HA HUM HRIH
My Mind To Your Mind. My Thoughts To Your Thoughts.
Form emptiness for awakeners
Gone, Gone, Boldly gone where no thought has gone before.
Nothing is profoundly joke-less, loveless, mindless
Shoo to you two, Who to You, Boo hoo to you too
Seat your selves in the muddy lotus jewel
Wake to you, shine from you, free from you
oṃ a mo gha vai ro
ca na ma hā mu dra
ma ṇi pa dma jvā la
pra va rtta ya hūṃ .
OM YA HA HUM HRIH

Is there a realm outside the mandala?
The Buddhist circle or sphere of influence, is particular to the three jewels. In the unformed and more realised spheres, the division between a mandala and for example a tariqa is non existent.
Is the Mandala a Hindu teaching?
Teachings associated with Brahmanic religions, use the idea of a wheel to organise realms of thought. In other systems a more hierarchical tree and branch or pyramid structure is used.
Can the mandala be used as a psychological tool?
Any system of division is a memetic way of illustrating opposing or potentially complimentary attributes. Superficial, new age and fad based pop psychology often finds a use amongst the crystals and tibetan singing bowls.
How many teachings are still locked into cultural modes that propagate indoctrination above comprehensive education? A dharma education is still a partial education, allowing a controlled way of thinking, if followed exclusively. Western culture too promotes an increasingly secular, economy driven indoctrination and will therefore produce a unique teaching based on its proclivities.
What is perhaps interesting is wether the evolutionary nature dependent on biology is also capable of transcending or incorporating the biological drives? If so it would mean we can reconcile our Nature and find a higher aspect of being that exists in the transcendent. How will these two exist? Have they always done so?
There is no in entice, no matter the simplicity.
It is useful to express and moray in terms of that expression. Not in terms of an object or form but in terms of the feeling. In other words we gain entry to the feeling or expression of love and without object or need for a central station we focus and increase. Waether a waving mystic atheist ore most devout digger. An increase in the being, nature, hormones and internal chemistry yields #KnowEels
My mother just arrived in a paper bag. I suppose there is an urn in there. Very ceremonial #FuneralGuy all in white, if I do a negative of hymn. I suppose I should chant in Tibetan, or do a seance or summit. The #mortician was not like a #stripagram at all … You would think someone had just dyed his squirrel …
