don't belief in ghosts?
my master also when beginning learning Buddhism also sceptical
about this things. but when deeper one learn into Dharma, this
things become quite common and in fact are real. there were another
teacher also told him not to bother about these parts of Budhism,
but later also believe eventually. because at certain level, such
encounters are offen.
that say superstitious is one thing but superstition of
superstition is also another form of superstition or doubt/yi2 of the 5 posions. people
keep saying hey, this is superstition, that is superstition, but
never they see themselve as superstition of superstition. what
make's one so sure, he/she is right in the first place?
know that if one is in the state of not knowing or delusive, then
no matter what he/she accept to belief or reject to belief, he/she
is still under a delusive-state. hence don't belief can also be
superstition.
it's when one who reached a stated of penetrating wisdom, seeing
things as they are, right understanding and right view or
Acknowledge state of mind that what ever he/she accept to belief
and reject to belief, he/she is under the state of Affirmation
wisdom.
so don't think one's not 'brain wash' also by the
media/science/education when we grow up from a little child. that's
say not until you reached an arahat then can you truly believe or
trust oneself.
