Horny Rabbit

Things are not as they seem. Nor are they otherwise.
THE LANKAVATARA SUTRA

To see the truth, contemplate all phenomena as a lie. THAGANAPA

"In Buddhist scriptures, the analogy of horns of a rabbit are presented to describe our illusory mode of perceiving the world and being within. If rabbits have no horns, investigating how long a rabbit can have horns is rather foolish. Understanding that ultimately nothing can arise, it is conclusive that nothing abides or ceases. All appearances are mere appearances that do occur but have no solid, self-existing reality of their own. Since nothing abides, nothing can arise, nor can things be stopped from arising when causes and conditions prevail. Ultimately, everything is beyond conceptuality, the meaning of shunyata, the ultimate truth that is the ground for the relative truth of being and becoming."

("I know they like to throw the horns of a rabbit around, but it's not really the same idea as the name of a barren woman's child. The rabbit horns come from the prophecy, you need to remember what the horns are used for, and sure the fact that rabbit horns don't exist is valid, but a mouse eating the moon to cause damage to Rahu does have significance. We need to take it into account. I think when highly realised teachers, such as Lama zopa and Lama Yeshe would mention the rabbit horns there was probably a much deeper message there. Said and written to be a catalyst, not to be focused on without taking the whole teaching into account. Like when crows turn red, and ships have wheels and sail over land. These are signs that a Buddha is about to emerge. No literal meaning to us, but more than likely, very significant to the Buddha that is about to arise. Just a thought, l could be the one who's way of track, and rabbit horns may mean nothing more than mentioning not just that our physical world is deceptive in appearance but so deceptive that a rabbit with horns needs to be used to see how easily we are fooled by what we see. And how quick we give significance to something that cannot exist even  relatively...

Have you read the golden light sutra and the prophecy that goes with it? A relic as big as a mustard seed for the lilies and the other prophecies such as the rabbit with horns that are used to build.....reveal a relic. What is the relic? Now that is something worth knowing if it exist relatively, or is the relic signs of enlightenment, now that's an essay or theory l would like to read, what people think the relic that's referred to, would be?")
