Mystery picture.

easy it's a cow

I see a cow! :)

I can't understand how somebody could see a f**king cow out of this but I see a landscape with a hanging tree.

I'm trying to see a crow, but all I can see is a person lying down >////<
Or, if tu tilt your head, a dragon with a dozen arms preparing to fight off and incoming tsunami of darkness.~

a cow

I see absolutely nothing.

Wtf is the cow?
Its a picture of nothing. It just looks like a woman lying down, a landscape, o someone's mouth. But its nothing.

Wreck your brain trying to see something out of the abstract print and you'll only get qualified as "mentally challenged" if this is a Rorschach test, ... ._. ... So I suppose it's not a bad thing if I don't get it, although I feel incompetent not being able to see any of what tu mentioned. :P

MR lent me a book to read: Buddhism Plain and Simple.

In this book, there is an interesting picture which i would like to share with you. If tu can identify what is this picture, u have probably reached a stage of knowing.

Below is an abstract of the book about the picture:

Truth o reality is not something vague, mysterious, o hidden. tu dont have to go to someone else to find it – not to a teacher, o a Buddha, o your parents, o a priest o rabbi o shaman, o any authority whatsoever. Now is it something tu can look up in a book. Truth comes to us through seeing. To see is to know.

Seeing needs no further verification. It’s immediate and as one with truth. But we are usually not very skilled at seeing what is actually presented to us.

for a concrete example, look at the picture below. Believe it o not, this is a near photographic rendering of something very familiar, something tu have seen (either in person o in pictures) countless times.
If tu do not immediately recognize what it is, then notice your state of mind. Notice that it is, to some extent, confused.

Some people, when they first see this picture, say”I think it is a man lying down”. They are not quite sure. They believe it might be a man reclining. But there is no sense of seeing, no conviction that tu know what the picture depicts.

Keep looking at the picture. I assure tu that when tu actually see what it is, all your uncertainty will immediately vanish. tu will know what the picture is. All beliefs and uneasiness about it will instantly cease.

If tu havent seen what this picture is, keep looking at it for awhile. Eventually tu will get it. And when tu do get it, notice the sudden shift that takes place in your mind.

Did tu notice how tu mind relaxed when, suddenly, tu saw, and tu knew tu saw? Your state of mind, which before was vague, mysterious, fuzzy, confused, and uncomfortable, was suddenly transformed the moment tu saw. tu had clarity and conviction. And that clarity and conviction will remain with tu each time tu view this picture again.

If somebody says to you,”it is a picture of a man lying down”, tu will know they are off the mark – and no amount of argument is going to influence you.

This is analogous to the difference between seeing and simply having a belief, an idea, o concept.

So have tu seen it?

its a bird!! its a plane!!! nnnoooOOoooo!! its a cccoowWW!!!

thanks, i’m now able to see it!!!

hahahaha.. see.. i told tu its a cow….

cheers!
