Does the reincarnated Lao Tzu or Lord Buddha need an energy transmission?

[stan herman]

If Lao Tzu, Shakayumi Buddha or Padmasambhava gets reborn again in this lifetime, do they still need energy transmissions to re-learn the path of Enlightenment?

 

A Buddha can not live (much less learn anything) without the energy of mind transmitted by those who think upon him/her/it, whether favorably or not. There is no Buddha in Nirvana.

A budda does not live or die.

A budda does not live or die.

 

That's an assertion contradicted by the sutras. However, it seems to me a reasonable one, in its context.

 

There is truth-absolute, which is inexpressible in words. There is truth-relative, which is dependent on the context within which it is expressed and the perception of its receiver. For instance the universally accepted precepts of the physical sciences (like gravity ), or the 'honest' reporting of personal spiritual experience by one individual to another.

 

The rest is fiction, which can be divided into: constructive fiction, that moves in the direction of truth, and popular fiction that reinforces the hearer's habitual prejudices. Most people prefer popular fiction (according to their group's version).

Nonetheless, consciousness is not energy.

Fundamentally, everything is energy, the essence of life/all, on a quantum basis; therefore, consciousness. May I recommend: The Self-Aware Universe by Amit Goswami The degrees of consciousness/awareness correlate to one's level of enlightenment in terms of an energetic vibrational frequency. This is not only scientific fact, but known by the ancient sages of pre-raped earth thousands of years ago. When we meditate, do chi-kung, nei-kung, tai-chi... we raise the rate of our vibrational frequency, attuning ourselves to higher-level frequency emotions such as love and compassion... distancing ourselves from the egotistic base low-vibrational emotions anger, greed, hate, envy, etc.
