<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>the self and other existences</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Because the both are the part of one Dharma.</p>
<p>And everybody born, has the Dharma within.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>The teachings of the Brahmanism defines the one&#8217;s soul / Atman and</p>
<p>the universal supreme soul / Brahman as a separate entity.  And says</p>
<p>the goal of the life is to make one&#8217;s Atman to reach or fuse with Brahman.</p>
<p>In contrast, Buddha said, there is no such separation of two from the</p>
<p>beginning though, one has to find this only one Dharma within, which</p>
<p>is invisible.</p>
<p>Anyone who believes the separate entity of self is having misunderstanding</p>
<p>caused by the delusion of ego.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212; From this simple, clear teachings, big debate started after the</p>
<p>Buddha&#8217;s  death, whether the self is not really exist or what is the self,what are</p>
<p>the definition of the existences.  Because, most of followers grown up with</p>
<p>the popular belief of the Atman, it was rather hard to change.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>This is the reason why in the Zen books, they are filled with the explanation of</p>
<p>such as &#8221; Ichijo &#8220;(oneness) or &#8221; Fuji &#8221; (non two) from the top to bottom.</p>
<p>Or such as the stories of how sward master achieved the ultimate skill by</p>
<p>fusing himself to the sward,</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>It took more than 10 years for me to realize that the Key behind of those</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>stories is the matter of subconsciousness.</strong></span></p>
<p>So that, the practice adopted by each Buddhist schools are, to carry the</p>
<p>teachings deep into the one&#8217;s subconsciousness.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;( Following 10 years or so, I tested all sorts of practices and</p>
<p>tried to find the effect to the body and the brain, as I thought if I could</p>
<p>open the door  of subconscious, I may able to see the Holy secret of</p>
<p>the Anuttara Samyk-Sanbodi )</p>
<p>(I&#8217;ll talk about those try later)</p>
