Still trying hard to make sense out of nonsense.

And how does one put meditation into everyday practice? How does one maintain an equilibrium throughout, body, mind and soul? How does one become totally absorbed in the here and now doing, sitting eating singing making lantern stars and painting the color of you rooms green? How does one become one with this act of doing instead of becoming an observer, a witness, standing apart from
that which is, reality itself?  How does one become one with God? The Divine Spirit, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of power, the omnipresent omni Being Lord of Compassion and Mercy...how does remain attentive to this realization in everything one does?

During this month of Ramadan, the fasting month, it is said that all, devils and demons, all the evil ones are being temporarily imprisoned in hell throughout the duration of the Month of Ramadan. So in essence, any sin one commits is the result of one's own weaknesses and lack of faith or whatever else that one is inflicted with, There is none to blame no, devils or demons, n Jin or restless souls that is there for you to use as a scapegoat for your failings. It is a battle between you and your Nafs, or ego or lower self or the small mind, call it what you may, this is the Jihad the Prophet of God said that all man shall face even after they have won the battle of Badr. With victory there came greed over the spoils of war and so forth and so you may have won the external battle , you have yet to win the war within.

The advert Buddhists especially the Zen and Vajrayana schools of Buddhism has no such similar problem for there is no self to deal with in the first place. hence if you are a Muslim practicing the Buddha's approach to life you will have some reflections to do, No one can give the whole truth as to what is right or what is wrong but every once in a while you catch a glimpse for your self what is the right or real of reality itself. Science is close to confirming the we are all merely atoms, of waves and vibrations pulled together by gravity and so forth. in short we don't exist as who we think we are, we don't exist period. But as a lay person, bottom of the food chain kind of person who understands only the simple layman's ideas about life, I find it still hard to die and proof myself right, that i do not exist. Everytime I hear someone tells me he or she does not exist, i am tempted to reach over and grab their face covering their mouth and nose to stop them from breathing and when they struggle to be free i would ask, who is this struggling to stay alive?

Billions of Muslims since the days of the Prophet have believed in the afterlife and the days of judgement and heaven and hell, I should add that billions of Christians and Jews do too as according to their Holy books. How does this principle relate to the Buddhist believe in non-existence of the self or annata?

"Buddhism, the term anattā (Pali) or anātman (Sanskrit) refers to the doctrine of "non-self", that there is no unchanging, permanent self, soul or essence in living beings.^[1][2] It is one of the seven beneficial perceptions in Buddhism,^[3] and along with Dukkha (suffering) and  Anicca (impermanence), it is one of three Right Understanding."

As I have  mentioned in many of my past ramblings on this same subject, I tried to bring an understanding the correlates to this issue as viewed in Islam and that is Islam also at the end of the day suggests the state of fana' or total annihilation of the soul which returns unto its Owner, the Lord of Creation, AlaHak, the Owner. Hence the truth of the Oneness of Allah, without a second. For so long as there is you or I, and there is the worshipped there will always be two. Jesus is said to have said the one has to die a second death before one is purified before God...or something like that.

"The above two verses (13-14) are God’s Guarantee that when you first believed the **gospel** of your salvation, you were sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise until the time of your redemption, (until you are in heaven in the very presence of God).  You can never lose your salvation because you now belong to God, I Corinthians 6:19-20: 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's"

In my limited understanding, I have always been attracted by this principle as taught by Jesus or Isa alai Salam, ever since i first came across this gospel. However I feel like it is not a complete statement to say, "therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" It should, be "in your body , mind and spirit." Mind is the crucial ingredient that is missing in this verse. As we today have more than acknowledged the fact that our mind, plays a pivotal role in our choice making among other human traits and virtues that we have. Perhaps I am over zealous in trying to tie up the Judeo Christian and Islamic to the Buddhist concept of existence or Buddha Dharma. Perhaps it is my way justification of who i am at least in my perception at the thought level, knowing full well that the more i try the less i am convinced, myself.
