Di dalam Mahayana lain lagi: ada sumpah Bodhisattva yang menyatakan, bahwa seorang Bodhisattva bersedia MELANGGAR SILA demi cinta kasih. ... Di dalam Vajrayana, lain lagi: seks malah menjadi instrumen bagi tercapainya pencerahan.
Tergantung sumbernya pak. Tergantung teks Mahayana yang mana. Ada Sutra Mahayana yang bilang Bodhisattva bila melanggar sila akan jatuh dari Sangha Bodhisattva.
Seks dalam Vajrayana sudah pernah dibahas di sini. Tergantung dari aliran mana (Vajrayana ada banyak, nyingma, kadampa, sakya, dll). Hal ini bahkan tidak dibahas di kalangan Vajrayana sendiri, Tetapi pak hudoyo bisa dengan baik menggeneralisir keadaan tersebut.
Saya ingin sekedar komentar. Jika saya melakukan upaya kausalya, tetapi setiap thread yang saya buat menimbulkan pertanyaan "ini ajaran Sang Buddha bukan ya?", bahkan sampai timbul perdebatan yang melibatkan pribadi, sebaiknya saya bertanya dulu ke dalam, apakah ini upaya kausalya atau bukan.
Bek tu topik.
Among things [dhammas] conditioned or unconditioned [dhammā saṅkhatā vā asaṅkhatā vā], dispassion is reckoned best of them all, the crushing of all infatuation, the removal of thirst, the uprooting of attachment, the cutting off of the round (of rebirth), the destruction of craving, dispassion, Nibbāna. AN II 34
It is impossible, it cannot come to pass that a man possessed of (right) view would treat any dhamma as self - this situation does not occur. MN iii 64
The world, as a rule, is fettered by attachment and clinging to things, and is firmly adhering to them. But the learned and noble disciple does no longer attach himself, cling firmly, adhere and incline to the thoughts: 'I have an attā,' and he knows: 'Merely dukkha arises, merely dukkha vanishes.' SN II 17 SN III 135
“ ‘The self, the self,’ bhikshus, thinks the untaught worldling, misapprehending concepts. But there is no self and what belongs to self. This suffering, arising, arises; this suffering, ceasing, ceases. Samskaras, arising, arise, samskaras ceasing, cease.” (Chinese Madhyama Agama, MA, 62, 498b)
If I - being asked by Vacchagotta the wanderer if there is a self - were to answer that there is a self,
would that be in keeping with the arising of knowledge that all phenomena [dhammas] are not-self? SN iv 401
"All dhammas are not-self" is said when Nibbāna is included. NiddA. 7
Selain dari Bodhicitta dan Tathagathagarbha dalam Mahayana, adakah disebutkan anatta sebagai sesuatu yang tidak benar? Atau cuma spekulasi dan gerak-gerik pikiran?
