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 wewe 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, au 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 wewe 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 wewe 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 au reality is not something vague, mysterious, au hidden. wewe dont have to go to someone else to find it – not to a teacher, au a Buddha, au your parents, au a priest au rabbi au shaman, au any authority whatsoever. Now is it something wewe 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 au not, this is a near photographic rendering of something very familiar, something wewe have seen (either in person au in pictures) countless times.
If wewe 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 wewe know what the picture depicts.

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

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

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

If somebody says to you,”it is a picture of a man lying down”, wewe 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, au concept.

So have wewe seen it?

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

thanks, i’m now able to see it!!!

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

cheers!
