A paradigm shift - complete change

Paradigm shift

A week ago, I had a lunch with a very old friend and we know each other during our  college days. He was doing very well in an American MNC and he resigned suddenly. Later, I heard he have embraced Buddhism and he was ferrying the monks around doing their dharma. He is also working as a sourcing agent for a direct selling organization.

During the lunch  he told me that he knows the son of Ananda Krishnan who is a billionaire. He told me Ananda's son embraced Buddhism and  became a monk after he saw something through his vision and his life changed drastically . He gave away his Ferrari , his bungalow and all his riches to live the noble life of a monk. That vision open up his third eye and shifted his paradigm. We might have moments of such vision but we could not hold on to it long enough to realize what it suppose to tell us.

If we see through life like what the Buddha did and we would gain our enlightenment like Buddha. Many people have embraced Buddhism to seek enlightenment  but in vain while some have achieved greatness in their own ways.

In the past, there  were many people who have Buddhahood and they showed great wisdom and teachings to the layman or monks. 

For some meditators who go deep into their meditations, they could enjoy moments of enlightenment .theae moments are very rare and in these moments, we can see the world within us and we experienced eternal happiness and a complete understanding of life.

It is not something you can forced to understand but through a constant study and training before you can get a glimpse of what it is all about.

A paradigm shift is like you look forward you see a view, you step to your left, you see another view, if you moved right you have another view. Very slight move you will change with it. Can you see every view where you are standing at thus same time ? There is a moment of truth where you can see all in one and that is the opening of the third eye which a complete change in your way if thinking like breaking out of a box. What cannot be done ,suddenly it can be done and cause a paradigm shift in our thinking.

Namaste.
