Clarity and Expectations

 
Clarity, an important goal of meditation practice, is the condition of consciousness without obscuration of the dysfunctions.
Perfection is of another order completely, the ultimate inner state of highest Buddhahood. Because clarity is without agenda, it is an openness that allows receptivity to higher functioning. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~

Klarheit, ein wichtiges Ziel der Meditationspraxis, ist der Zustand des Bewusstseins, bei dem keine Trübungen aufgrund von Störungen bestehen.
Die Vollkommenheit gehört einer ganz anderen Kategorie an, sie ist der letztendliche innere Zustand der höchsten Buddhaschaft. Da Klarheit keine Zielsetzung hat, ist sie die Offenheit, welche die Empfänglichkeit für höheres Funktionieren ermöglicht." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---

Inappropriate expectations are like spring flowers blooming in late winter; they won't last long. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

"Unangemessene Erwartungen sind wie Frühlingsblumen, die im späten Winter blühen; sie halten nicht lange." - DGR ---

Expectativas inapropiadas son como flores de primavera floreciendo al final del invierno; no duran mucho. DGR —

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
