So if my consciousnesses are making an illusory (but conventional) world for me to live in, and presumably yours are doing the same.....when we both look at a tea cup whose illusion is correct about the tea cup? Isn't there something OUT there for us to get an illusion from and what is the real form of the tea cup? emptiness??? what is everything made of and is our Buddha nature made of any "stuff"? Thanks for your video , I enjoy them with great benefit🙏

Great questions. Yes, everyone would see a different tea cup based on their Alaya consciousness. No one is correct, because all forms are illusory, empty in nature. It’s hard to believe but the cup is not there when no one is looking. You are dreaming at night, you dream of a cup, when you wake up, there is no cup. Everything is only manifestation of our thoughts, stored as karmic seeds. Buddha nature is not a thing, it’s just when you know it’s all a dream, you are awake. That’s when consciousnesses turn into wisdoms. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Amitabha. 🙏🏻

BUDDHA NATURE ; EMPTY NOR SUBSTANCE BUT WHEN CONDITION/ AFFINITY GATHERED "BUDDHA NATURE/INNATE SELF WILL REFLECT IT OUT DEPENDING ON THE REALM YOU ARE IN . EXAMPLE: HUMAN REALM, YOUR MIND IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER REALM , BUT YOUR INNATE SELF IS ALWAYS THERE WAITING FOR CONDITION TO REFLECT AND WILL NEVER STOP!EVEN WHEN YOU ARE IN BARDO STAGES YOUR INNATE SELF IS STILL THERE! MIND WILL CHANGE FROM REALM TO REALM BUT BUDDHA NATURE IS FOREVER THERE AND IS INNATE ( MERITORIOUS ABILITIES IS FOREVER). THE ULTIMATUM OF BUDDHA TEACHING IS FOR SENTIENT BEING TO DISCOVER INNATE SELF AND USE IT EVERY MOMENT. NAMO AMITABHAYA

@@livingthedharma I don't understand..if the cup is not there, when we aren't looking..then WE aren't there.. Our creation must be a misunderstanding and our destruction must be a misunderstanding too! Tell me though , what or who is it that is asking this question??

Yes, we are never really there. It is truly all a misunderstanding. The person asking is just the power of cause and conditions, and the power of discrimination. But at the source, our mind is the Buddha. Best wishes, Amitabha. 🙏🏻@@hakuinzenji4123

ok but ears need vibration, nose needs terpenes, mouth needs flavinoids, and body needs an active nervous system....
