Beyond the Hypnotic Prison

To arrive at the state beyond the hypnotic prison of the innate view, which holds us to the suffering self made illusory web, one enters a state without foundation. Is this meant to help us dissolve the dualism of ourselves as separate from each other? Not at all! Everything is swept away, including all of the huggy "togetherness" feelings we might have been craving as the ultimate goal of spiritual searching.
However, after this refreshing release, there is more! All of life opens! Returning to body awareness and mental jugglings, the unprepared perceptions feel only amazement and a stirring inside so great that it is called great love! Upon this genuine amazement is built many world religions, and rightly so! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

"Man geht in einen Zustand ohne Grundlage ein, wenn man im Zustand jenseits des hypnotischen Gefängnisses der angeborenen Sichtweise ankommt, welcher uns im leidvollen, selbst erzeugten, illusorischen Netz festhält. Soll uns dies dabei helfen, den Dualismus aufzulösen, durch den wir uns getrennt von anderen sehen? Keinesfalls! Alles wird weggeweht, einschließlich der zärtlichen Gefühle des 'Zusammenseins', die wir uns vielleicht als letztendliches Ziel der spirituellen Suche ersehnt haben.
Nach diesem erfrischenden Loslassen gibt es jedoch noch mehr! Das gesamte Leben öffnet sich!
Wenn sie zu Körperbewusstsein und geistigem Jonglieren zurückkehren verspüren die unvorbereiteten Wahrnehmungen nur Verwunderung und eine innere Regung, die so stark ist, dass man sie große Liebe nennt! Viele Weltreligionen basieren zu recht auf dieser echten Verwunderung!" - 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
