Any living enlightened Master?
-
Does anyone know of any living enlightened Master who is still alive today? I only wish to learn Dharma or wisdom from a living enlightened Master who is as enlightened as Lord Buddha himself. For me, no matter how famous a teacher is out there today, so long as they can't sincerely claim to have reached the state of Nirvana is just not good enough for me.

Yeah yeah agree ! I think TS has to fly over to Taiwan because慧律法师 did mention that he hates to travel especially by air. -
The 17th Karmapa . He has vowed to return to Samsara for only 21 times.
So you only have 4 more lifetimes to meet Him.

you're lucky i'm still alive to instruct you, my would-be padawan.
however, i only wish to instruct a disciple who is on the same level as Subhuti or Ananda.
i can see that instructing you will only result in me vomitting blood !

Those who have reach a state of Nirvana will not claim they have done so. If they do, they will quickly leave this world. -

don't forget the Buddha was also hesitant about spreading his teachings at first because he can forsee the ''troublesome'' disciples he'll have.

In alignment with zero thought replies ,yes .
there is an unwritten rule, a person realised to the stage of the deathless had to leave saha world , so as to prevent worldly corruptible power fm using them .
Thats why bodhidharma , huiyuan Pureland master,shantao never came back ..

concur with zero.

Yeah, it is all emptiness. Whatever Buddha said was about emptiness. So, æ— æ³•å�¯è¯´ã€‚Once a person understands what Buddha said, you will know all the 法 are just tools to open our wisdom, once you have achieved that, all the dharma can throw away.
Is my understanding correct. Correct me if I'm wrong. Hope I did not understand wrongly.

Yes, he is a Taiwanese. Not the typical one so can be trusted.

Drubwang Rinpoche .
Every year he lead the om mani padme hum retreat in singapore before he passed away in Dec 2008.
He is one of the greatest accomplishers in recent history in varjayana.
Accomplishment in just one life time.
He spent 30-40 years in and out of retreat
Now we are waiting for his return

all the Buddhadharma is to teach about letting go/detachment mah. if people let go of worldly stuff and attached to dharma stuff, then the whole purpose of dharma is gone. know what i mean../\

Since these individuals have reached a certain stage, wonder do they communicate amongst each other when in a mediated state? And also they are from different religion base, wonder if they see things in a different perspective religious wise...

hahaha...trusting yourself is the best. Trust that once you can open your own chakra in your own body, you will know enlightenment.Indian guru can be as corrupted as Taiwanese monk. For eg, Sai Baba. He is alleged to molest many youths and there was an asassination revenge story before he disappeared.

Once you open up all your 7 chakras in your own body, your soul will merge with the space and become part of the space , that is emptiness. Dharma is useless to express this state. You are one with the universe. Universe is so big. The space is so big. Emptiness is so borderless, vastless. What word can express it ?
