Wasting Adrenalin on Sports and Other Junk!

Our personal energy system and how we use it both defines us and brings meaning to our interactions with others and our world. It is easy to see that we could be using our time, energy, money and power of attraction more skillfully to glean more from our limited time. Below is a partial list of major waste:
Sports are a poor use of adrenalin!
Money is a poor use of personal power!
Flirting is a poor use of eye contact! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~

"Unser persönliches Energiesystem und der Gebrauch den wir davon machen definieren uns und verleihen unserem Austausch mit anderen und unserer Welt Bedeutung. Es ist leicht einzusehen, dass wir unsere Zeit und Energie, unser Geld und unsere Anziehungskraft geschickter einsetzen könnten, um mehr aus unserer begrenzten Zeit zu machen. Im folgenden eine unvollständige Liste der größten Verschwendung:
Sport stellt eine schlechte Anwendung von Adrenalin dar!
Geld ist eine schlechte Anwendung persönlicher Macht!
Flirten ist eine schlechte Anwendung von Augenkontakt!"
-Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---
This evening in Joyful Path and by conference line.. "Ethics and Love". I enjoy exploring these interfaces between important cultural values and preparation practices for enlightenment. Our best must enfold into our practice for awakening!

    re sports ... i would have to unlist chi kung or taichi as sports..i find them particularly good to focuss or center...or to become aware of body and mind..so here i cannot agree

    re personal power... i do not like the word power...doesn't buddhism operate more in the love than the powermode?

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
