The problem I have with Buddhism is that every old dharma teacher looks the same: powerful in mind and spirit, but frail in body.
I want the embodied version of Buddhism—one that unites spiritual insight with AI, information theory, physics, biology, health/medicine, and evolution. These fields all point to the same truth: the body is an energy system. It's not meant to be still. It's meant to move, pulse, vibrate, and express.
The old Buddhists are so unhealthy because in their quest to sit quietly with suffering they are trashing their bodies.
Our bodies are energy systems, constantly in motion, literally vibrating all the way down.
As soon as you get the insight of the mind from Buddhism, stop sitting and start moving.
"Consciousness without feature, without end, luminous all around: Here water, earth, fire, & wind have no footing. Here long & short, coarse & fine, fair & foul, name & form are all brought to an end. With the cessation of [the activity of] consciousness, each is here brought to an end.'"
— Kevatta Sutta DN 11
if I'm not meditating or studying I'm probably creating something...so earlier this year I became deeply interested in creating a new way to concisely communicate multiple core dhamma concepts at once, especially thru diagrams & symbols which lead me to make what I call saccamandalas (realitymaps lol) the first one is a combination of the three marks/four noble truths/twelve links & the second is the four frames/five aggregates/eightfold path...a simple way to transmit and memorize these core ideas visually...also added diagrams I made on the four frames/jhana relation and bahiya sutta—all live on the site for you to discover 🪷 looks best on desktop (with a few easter eggs)—link below ↓ 🪷 sadhu

for those new here—I've been studying & practicing the buddhadhamma for nearly 20 years renounced virtually all possessions a few years ago to wander and spent these last few months travelling across asia to deepen my knowledge understanding and intensity of practice
I subsist mainly on alms and generosity and could use some dana now for food & shelter if you can spare deeply humbly appreciated 🪷 sadhu emptythrone.org/donate?v=2
"Form is like a glob of foam;
feeling, a bubble;
perception, a mirage;
fabrications, a banana tree;
consciousness, a magic trick...
However you observe them,
appropriately examine them,
they're empty, void to whoever
sees them appropriately."

during times like this when I'm flat broke wondering where I'll sleep next I contemplate how infinitely more fortunate it is to comprehend this practice beyond conditions. waves of bliss skin tingling mind concentrated locked in on the four frames. an ease unreliant on illusion independent of feeling and impermenance. understanding even an iota of resistance as the aggregates. constantly checking the world against that inner certainty...whatever happens is just exactly in line with causality and leading to its end. like a cheat code that takes many years to enter correctly lol but once you do...hard to put into words
"How very happily we live,
we who have nothing.
We will feed on rapture
like the Radiant gods."

"When a person has right view...whatever [mental/verbal/bodily] deeds he undertakes in line with that view, whatever intentions... determinations... fabrications, all lead to what is agreeable, pleasing, charming, profitable, & easeful. Why is that? Because the view [itself] is auspicious."
