Buddhism, The Rainbow Body and Enlightenment
« Reply #15 on: April 28, 2009, 02:33:22 AM »
I actually said the rainbow body can only be obtained by buddhist methods.  This is true, and stand by it.  

But, I have no personal experience to back up the fact that the rainbow body exists!  Just historical reports.

P.S. The view is definitely correct from personal experience.  This is Truth.

Truth for you.  NOT The Truth.  Buddhism is but one path to the end.  Not THE path to the end.

I am just saying the view is correct.  You even agreed that thoughts and emotions lack a dualistic essence

I never said that the rainbow body can't be acheived via Buddhist methods.  I just said that enlightenment (what you call the rainbow body) is acheivable through other methods as well, and not JUST through Buddhist methods.

you gotta be kidding right?  Do you know what the rainbow body is?

You are saying you can achieve the rainbow body by non-buddhist methods?

Of course.  But there is no "correct" view.  There is only the correct view from YOUR perspective.

right, but Robert Bruce has called this the correct way to arrive at Truth.  It is Truth when you personally verify it multiple times.  You are the judge and jury

Inquiring into the nature of existance(Inquiry).  Meditation.  Pranayama.  Tantra. etc etc etc.....

There is no ONE path to enlightenment.  (and I don't buy the whole "rainbow body" being the only indicator of enlightenment.  I see the rainbow body as a potential side effect of enlightenment, and I don't think that everyone who is enlightened displays the rainbow body even if they could.  But these are just my thoughts and constitute no fact.)

Love,

Robert Bruce is just a man like any other.  Anyone who know THE Truth does not just speak it out.  Truth is not able to be spoken.

I don't even know if the rainbow body exists, but if it does, you can only obtain it by buddhist techniques.  I have an understanding of rainbow body theory.

Even the Buddha said after his enlightenment that "This can not be taught."

You cannot absolutely know this to be true.  This is ONLY your opinion.  Nothing more.

Carson[^]

P.S.  Doesn't it seem REALLY silly to you to say that you don't know if something exists but that you know the only way to acheive it?  That seems ridonkulous to me!

There is no evidence there is a "THE Truth" like you say. Buddhists would say the same thing
