Thought for Friday ( + Spanish, French, German, Italian ) retranslations welcome!

For Thanksgiving "Spiritual thankfulness is related to a certain kind of love. The dynamic interaction between you, your activities, and abilities has already created your own personal methods of interacting with the world. Your personality will always need the nourishment of genuine thankfulness in order to balance and become the person that you always hoped you were inside" ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

from teaching Remembering Thankfulness http://www.white-conch.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=WCT&Product_Code=2005-11-22___WC-112205&Category_Code=

"La gratitud espiritual está relacionada con una cierta clase del amor. La interacción dinámica entre ti, tus actividades, y capacidades ha creado ya tus propios métodos personales de relacionarse con el mundo. Tu personalidad siempre necesitará el alimento de la gratitud genuina a fin de equilibrar y se hace la persona que siempre esperabas que fueras dentro" ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

"La reconnaissance spirituelle est rattachée à une certaine sorte d'amour. L'action réciproque dynamique entre toi, tes activités et capacités a déjà créé tes propres méthodes personnelles pour le fait de communiquer avec le monde. Ta personnalité aura besoin toujours de la nourriture de vraie reconnaissance pour se tenir en équilibre et devient la personne que tu espérais toujours que tu étais à l'intérieur" ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

Zum Erntedankfest ist 'spirituelle Dankbarkeit' mit einer gewissen Art von Liebe verwandt. Der dynamische Austausch zwischen Dir und Deinen Handlungen und Fähigkeiten hat bereits Deine persönlichen Methoden mit der Welt zu interagieren erzeugt. Deine Persönlichkeit wird stets die Nahrung der echten Dankbarkeit brauchen, damit Du ins Gleichgewicht kommst und zu der Person wirst, auf die Du immer im Innersten gehofft hast." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche---

"La gratitudine spirituale è collegata a un genere certo d'amore. L'interazione dinamica tra te, le tue attività, e capacità ha creato già i tuoi metodi personali di interagire con il mondo. La tua personalità sempre avrà bisogno del nutrimento di gratitudine autentica per tenersi in equilibrio e diventare la persona che sempre hai sperato che fosti dentro" ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

Buddhist musings... and meanderings

Like other litigious societies, we have become over-doctored and looking for that magic pill to make us well and feel satisfied. Perhaps it would be better to consider stress, lack of closure to poor past relationships, anger or jealousy as causes for our poor health... and then correct our errors. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Wie andere prozessfreudige Gesellschaften verlassen wir uns zu sehr darau f, medizinisch überversorgt zu werden und halten nach der magischen Pille Ausschau, die uns befriedigt und gesund macht. Vielleicht wäre es besser, Stress, unbewältigte Beziehungen, Wut oder Eifersucht als Ursachen für unsere schlechte Gesundheit in Betracht zu ziehen.... und dann unser Fehlverhalten zu korrigieren." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Sharing happiness is actually what is done in the dharma practice of the first of the Four Great Wishes. This trains us to share our cultivated joy and not simply hold it as a personal possession. The second of the Great Wishes strong

Buddhist musings for springtime........

Two explanations of the same innate view Classic Buddhism describes the innate view as the error of taking what is transitory and impermanent as permanent. All suffering arises from this misknowledge. However, I have expanded this description to understand that the innate view also bestows a full but minimum set of perceptions that are needed to allow the transmigrating consciousness of a to-be-hu man to participate within the human realm. After the breakthrough of enlightenment, aware practitioners will not discard the minimal basic and now purified innate view but will mold it skillfully into a correct conventional view. Same innate view but a non-Buddhist explanation-- Within the deeper mind of every individual person are several carefully constructed base perceptions that must be present in order for them to participate in their human potential development within the human realm. We cannot damage our perceptions by pretending the world is not there, or that we are not here, in ord
