SHIVA RUDRA BALAYOGI
#MissKitty slept a few hours and is up to meditate with #ShivarudraBalayogi who gives free online instruction in #Jangama #Dhyana. Never a charge. Has lived as true renunciate whole life, but He did not renounce for the sake of renouncing, nothing in that, but for focus. There can only be one thing.
The #Infinite does not play but it doesn't care either. You can go ahead and die 500 quadrillion times before you get #Self-realized. The Self is peaceful. It already is content. The impossible happened and part of it split out and got miserable as a human. #Jangama #Dhyana to get un-catastrophized.
#Shri #ShivarudraBalayogi My Dear #Guru. Teaches the #Mind #Technology called #Jangama #Dhyana. Meditation upon Supreme Consciousness of Existence. That is my update for contextual reasons from the historic meaning of Jangama meaning eternal existence. Dhyana is meditation.

One of the most striking things about Bodhidharma’s earliest biography is how little it tries to explain or conclude.

Even the famous “single sandal” story is recorded without interpretation.

That restraint may be the most instructive thing of all.

New blog: Bodhidharma Before Zen Took Shape
Before Zen became legend, Bodhidharma appears quietly in a 7th-century Buddhist biography.

I’ve translated and examined his earliest surviving biography from the Xu Gaoseng Zhuan (Further Biographies of Eminent Monks), focusing on practice, historical context, and what the text actually says—without later mythmaking.
