Confession.. Buddhist Style!

Don't wait for a perfect sunny day!

Woke up this morning thinking "Did I do anything yesterday that might become a cause for my suffering karmic rebirth?" I was glad to observe that I had not harmed myself yesterday.
This is a correct method to practice daily Buddhist confession using dharma honesty and mindfulness. To make us suitable for evolutionary development, we must uncover issues which, (although they might seem innocuous at the time), will incrementally change our nature. By knowing how to purify with confession, without blaming or shaming our self, we can experience the energetic of correct regret, returning the mind to walking the Great Path. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

"Heute früh erwachte ich und dachte: 'Habe ich gestern irgendetwas getan, was zur Ursache einer leidvollen karmischen Wiedergeburt werden könnte?' Ich war froh über die Feststellung, dass ich mir gestern nicht geschadet habe.
Dies ist die korrekte Methode des täglichen buddhistischen Bekenntnisses unter Anwendung von dharmischer Ehrlichkeit und Achtsamkeit. Um tauglich für evolutionäre Entwicklung zu werden, müssen wir Probleme aufdecken (auch wenn sie momentan harmlos erscheinen), was nach und nach unsere Natur verändern wird. Wenn wir wissen, wie man sich durch das Bekennen reinigt, ohne dem Selbst Vorwürfe zu machen oder es zu beschämen, können wir die Energetik des korrekten Bereuens erleben, wodurch der Geist wieder auf dem Großen Pfad wandeln kann." - 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
