Questions
Q1 - It is said 'Mind is the fore-runner". Is it correct to say all phenomenan are mind-made? Is the heavenly realm and hell realm mind-made as well? Q2 - I find difficulty in finding spiritual companionship on the Theravadin Buddhist path as, my experience has been that, people are focused on own spiritual attainment and say the path is alone and to contemplate oneself using Dhamma. What should a lone spiritual seeker do with an emotional/mundane problem? |
