Master Han Shan (1546-1623)

1. 'When we preach the Dharma to those who see only the ego's illusory world, we preach in vain. We might as well preach to the dead.
How foolish are they who turn away from what is real and true and lasting and instead pursue the fleeting shapes of the physical world, shapes that are mere reflections in the ego's mirror. Not caring to peer beneath the surfaces, deluded beings are content to snatch at images. They think that the material world's ever-flowing energy can be modified into permanent forms, that they can name and value these forms, and then, like great lords, exert dominion over them.
Material things are like dead things and the ego cannot vivify them. As the great lord is by his very identity attached to his kingdom, the ego, when it attaches itself to material objects, presides over a realm of the dead. The Dharma is for the living. The permanent cannot abide in the ephemeral. True and lasting joy can't be found in the ego's world of changing illusion. No one can drink the water of a mirage.'
--Master Han Shan (1546-1623)

Accomplishing the Lama through the Seven Line Prayer: A Special Teaching from the Lama Sangdü

hung, orgyen yul gyi nubjang tsam
Hūṃ! In the north-west of the land of Oḍḍiyāna
pema gesar dongpo la
In the heart of a lotus flower,
yatsen chok gi ngödrub nyé
Endowed with the most marvellous attainments,
pema jungné shyé su drak
You are renowned as the ‘Lotus-born’,
khor du khandro mangpö kor
Surrounded by many hosts of ḍākinīs
khyé kyi jesu dak drub kyi
Following in your footsteps,
jingyi lab chir shek su sol
I pray to you: Come, inspire me with your blessing!
གུ་རུ་པདྨ་སིདྡྷི་ཧཱུྃ༔
guru pema siddhi hung
Fortunate men and women of the future, sons and daughters of an enlightened family, when you turn to me, the Guru of Orgyen, for refuge, take yourself to an isolated place, and make deep feelings arise of melancholy at impermanence, and disgust with saṃsāra—this is vital.
Then rely on me completely, heart and soul. Reflect how every kind of refuge, all your hopes, are all fulfilled and complete within me, the Guru of Orgyen. Whether in happiness or in sorrow, have total trust and confidence in me.
No need to make offerings or praise; set aside all accumulating; simply let devotion flood your body, speech and mind, and pray, pray with these seven lines.
Create a feeling of yearning and longing so intense that tears spring from your eyes. If the rapture of devotion overwhelms you, breathe out strongly, and then leave everything as it is. Clear and awake, focused and undistracted, look within.
For children of mine who pray like this, it goes without saying that they will have my protection, for they will be the sons and daughters of the buddhas of past, present and future. They will receive complete empowerment into the awareness of their own enlightened mind. Their samādhi will be so powerful and stable, that wisdom will naturally blossom and expand.
This great blessing, which arises of its own accord, will dispel all the suffering that will ripen on you, or be experienced by others. When your mind is transformed, others’ perceptions will simultaneously change, you will accomplish enlightened activity, and all noble qualities will
will be complete within you.
May the sons and daughters of my heart meet with this extraordinary skilful means, one which ripens and liberates into the dharmakāya realization of my enlightened being.
A practice with a uniquely powerful blessing, the Seven Line Prayer is exceptionally profound; so let this instruction be an extremely secret treasure of my enlightened mind. May it meet with one who possesses a mind of wisdom, and is endowed with great compassion, called Chökyi Wangchuk.

Mount Meru is the central mountain of our universe

No automatic alt text available.

Mount Meru is the central mountain of our universe and 'we' our world of earth is called Jambudvipa and is to the south of Mount Meru. Depicted are the various other worlds along with levels of heavens and hells. #EarthisFlat

http://www.waykiwayki.com/2015/05/flat-earth-mount-meru-and-four-lands.html


The ancient Chinese accepted the earth being a flat geocentric and that an umbrella-like covering surrounded it which was similar to the beliefs of the Greek, East Indian, Egyptians, Norse and Germanic as well as the aboriginal people of the Americas.

The Chinese astronomers believed that heaven takes its body from the yang, so it is round and in motion, and that the earth takes its body from the Yin, so it is flat and quiescent. The brilliant astronomers of China held this unchanging belief until the Jesuit missionaries came to China in the 17th century. 

Alberto Rivera, a former Jesuit Priest, claimed the goal of the Jesuit Order was to create a one world religion by influencing all institutions of thought. Their goal I believe is not to make everyone belong to just one church, but for all churches to adhere to their cosmology and thought form. By taking over the sciences they can cut out any greater divine beliefs in the creation of earth.

Lawrence Krauss, physicist, cosmologist and foundation professor of the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University states: "The laws of physics allow the earth to begin from nothing, so you don't need a deity" (god or goddess) When you think about it there have only existed two schools of thought regarding the theory of our earth. The geocentric model of a flat earth that existed from the beginning of man, embraced by all cultures and enduring up until around 500 years ago and the heliocentric earth as a globe model which has been around a relatively short period of time. In fact up until around 100 years ago the two schools of thought were still being debated.

Right now there is a growing resurgence in the flat earth model which is being embraced by people around the entire world. I attribute this to the information age which allows anyone near a computer to be able to use calculations and scientific concepts as easily as doing a Google search and then disseminating their findings to many.

Combine this with a birthing within all people around the earth of desiring nothing less than living their authentic self and you can see the perfect storm for the crashing of the quack science of the heliocentric model in favor of the common sense geocentric model that has worked since the beginning of man's story. The first needed ingredient though is a suspension, if only for a few moments, of prejudice and fear towards the concept of a flat earth.

Observable Experiments

Dr. Samuel Rowbotham dedicated his life to teaching about the flat earth. Here is a link to his 1881 edition of his book where he lays out fifteen experiments proving that the earth is a flat surface as opposed to being a globe. 

This link will open to a content page. Then each experiment after that is reached via a link at the bottom of each page. I suggest clicking on the link twice, so that you can keep one page as a content guide and use the other link to read through the pages of the book. The experiments are from page 9 thru page 61 although there are a few more pages, other than experiments which are important to read as well.

Here are some more experiments that I hope will be of help to you.
