What are your Supporting Beliefs?

"I believe that this world is a good place to live, grow and learn. In this, my new life, I have traveled to many places in the world, both to learn more about the world and teach Buddhism where I am invited.
I have trust in the Buddha, the dharma and the Sangha, seeing that it is not only valid in all places and in all times but also transcends culture. Even in my dreams, I have reliance in the triple gem, waking in the morning with a loving full heart.
The answer to every important question is bodhicitta, the great compassionate mind that holds others dear. This is true even though phenomena, including living beings, are empty of inherent existence, impermanent and dreamlike in illusory appearance in comparison to reality.
What are your beliefs and values that support your practice?" ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche~~~


""Es ist meine Überzeugung, dass diese Welt ein guter Ort ist um zu leben, zu wachsen und zu lernen. In diesem meinem neuen Leben bin ich an viele Orte der Welt gereist, um mehr über die Welt zu lernen und um dort wo man mich einlädt, den Buddhismus zu lehren.
Ich vertraue auf den Buddha, das Dharma und den Sangha, da ich sehe, dass sie nicht nur zu allen Zeiten an allen Orten Gültigkeit haben sondern auch kulturenübergreifend sind. Sogar in meinen Träumen vertraue ich auf die drei Juwelen und wache morgens mit einem liebenden erfüllten Herzen auf.
Die Antwort auf alle wichtigen Fragen ist Bodhichitta, der grosse mitfühlende Geist, der andere wertschätzt. Dies ist wahr, obwohl alle Phänomene, einschliesslich aller lebenden Wesen, im Vergleich zur Wirklichkeit frei von inhärenter Existenz, unbeständig und wie ein Traum voll illusorischer Erscheinung sind.
Was sind Deine Überzeugungen und Werte, die Deine Praxis unterstützen?"
- Domo Geshe Rinpoche---"

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
