The Room is Inside of Me + upcoming teachings in New Mexico

Four walls, a ceiling and a floor. I am inside this room but the room is also inside of me. That is how orientation operates. We must internalize our relationship with phenomena in order to perceive or connect with it at all. If you don't like your surroundings, better check your own mind. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~
Vier Wände, eine Decke und ein Fußboden. Ich bin in diesem Raum, aber der Raum ist auch in mir. So funktioniert Orientierung. Wir müssen unsere Beziehung mit den Phänomenen verinnerlichen, damit wir sie überhaupt wahrnehmen und uns mit ihnen verbinden können. Wenn Du Deine Umgebung nicht magst, überprüfe lieber mal Deinen Geist." - 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
