The interstitial space of thought, the mind, and life is once again the conundrum of early Buddhist teaching seemingly contradicting the clarity of the Mahayana teachings. Life as “verb”; as action, momentum and ephemeral; rather than “Life” as static condition, thing, or permanent in the realm of forms.

Shakyamuni uses the rhetoric of his dual existence to again drive home the point that all phenomena inherit Tathagata potential. He speaks of himself in the realm of form (human) and in the realm of expressed Tathagata as Buddha.

In his way of the use of simile, personages, and Energy Potentials as “places in time”, Shakyamuni speaks of the 3 entities of birth with all inherent consciousnesses including Buddhahood; and his implementation of enlightenment as a gradually revealed entity in the mundane world.

The difference of thought versus experience; Samsara versus Clarity. What “is” or “is not” are both expressions of what can be, and nothing more.

In closing, the expression of Tathagata-field Potential, the “adamantine body” is the enduring influence of your Buddha-hood in the community of mankind. Unbound by physical survival, influence reverberates through the minds of encounters without end. This is especially manifest as the reward of protection and promulgation of the Wonderful Dharma (Lotus Teaching).

MahaPariNirvana Part 18. Who is the “Teacher” and to whom is the “Student? Ultimately it is we, in our own minds, to whom the experience of the world, life, is the teacher and student. This is an a priori mind-shift, a transcendence of “reality” as the illusion of “things” to the awakening of the “reality” of thought as experience.
