Photo is in front of the Liberty Diner in Liberty NY where I enjoyed many meals in my just previous life before passing away in September of 2001. I remembered it well because we used to stop here after shopping in town. When I went in, I saw the hostess and remembered her face although I never saw her in this new life. I said hello, do you remember the small Tibetan monk who used to eat here often? She said yes I do, but I have not seen him in a long time. I said to her that is because I passed away. I am the reincarnation of that one. Oh, she said, I remember that I took a photo of him in front of the diner once. Yes, I remember that too. Then I sat down to order my usual vanilla ice cream. Place not change at all.
a teaching I gave at the fantastic balloon festival- more than 1000 balloons! I am describing how advanced students behave before transformation and inner structure of higher level beings. Enjoy!
The awakening blessing is not like the gentle cascade of illuminating wisdom described in our meditation practice to be poured into our everyday mind that can be used for our spiritual growth. Of course, we want and need free time to meditate. We also want the Buddha to cause our lives to become suitably rearranged for more spiritual emphasis that is called leisure and endowment in Buddhist term inology. This is correct thinking and requesting. However, that will not be nearly enough leisure and endowment to cause the actual awakening. After a great deal of preparation, we must then sincerely make the request for a tremendous burst of illuminated power and energy, like a flash of lightning, to open the door to our enlightened true nature. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Die Segnung des Erwachens sind nicht wie die in unserer Meditationspraxis beschriebene sanfte Kaskade der erhellenden Weisheit, die wir in unseren Alltagsgeist schütten, um sie für unser spirituelles Wachstum zu nutzen....
Correct meditation facilitates better data input to your deep innermost actual being by sending a different message about this world. When our strategies are in alignment with higher development preparation, it is like living in a different world than before. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Korrekte Meditation erleichtert eine bessere Datenaufnahme durch dein tiefes innerstes eigentliches Wesen, da sie eine andere Botschaft von dieser Welt vermittelt. Wenn unsere Strategien auf die Vorbereitung zur höheren Entwicklung ausgerichtet sind, ist dies als lebten wir in einer anderen Welt als zuvor." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Deep beneath ordinary thoughts lies our true nature; pure, vibrant and still as a pristine reflecting pool. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ Tief unter den gewöhnlichen Gedanken liegt unsere wahre Natur; rein, kräftig und still wie ein unberührter, spiegelnder Teich." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Profondamente al di sotto del livello dei pensieri ordinari giace la nost...
