Part Five: Truth for the Family
looks like or where it resides, but we do know that this is from
where feelings come. On the other hand, the physical heart
is an organ. Nowadays, doctors are able to stop the beating
of a physical heart while operating on a patient and are able
to restart the beating once the operation is finished. If the
physical heart and the ethereal heart are the same, then the
patient would have died. This helps proves that the physical
and ethereal heart are two different things.
In the 2000+ year-old compilation of teachings known
as the Tripitaka, the Pali Sanskrit Canon, it is written that
the man whom we call the Buddha spoke on a number of
subjects that were unknown to science at the time. He said
that there was more than one universe. Moreover, he said that
there were an infinite number of universes. Scientists have
only recently discovered the truth of this fact within the last
few hundred years. The man whom we call the Buddha also
explored the concept of boonya. Although we cannot see it,
we can feel it within us. What, then, is boonya and how does
it apply to our lives?
Boonya is self-generating, pure, perfect energy. It
strengthens when we perform good actions. Wholesome deeds
can be categorized into three main methods:
1. Generosity. We share useful things with those
who deserve it. Here there are four criteria which
determine the amount of boonya generated in the act
of giving:
a. Wholesomeness of the object. The object to
be given must be obtained legitimately and
morally, not through fraudulent means.
