Dreams and other Buddhist musings

Image
Ordinary dreams are usually the reflections of daytime nonsense or the result of unresolved stress. For serious meditators, however, dreams could become nighttime activities such as inner training, strongly feeling that he or she has been attending dharma teachings or even performing acts of compassion ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Gewöhnliche Träume spiegeln normalerweise Unsinn aus dem Tagesgeschehen wider oder sind das Ergebnis von unbewältigtem Stress. Für ernsthaft Übende können Träume jedoch zu nächtlichen Aktivitäten werden, wie zu innerem Training, zu dem Gefühl, an Dharmaunterweisungen teilgenommen oder sogar mitfühlende Handlungen ausgeübt zu haben." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Satisfaction in the Buddhist approach is a continuous mental nourishment not dependant upon desires being met in order to be happy in one’s self "Mit buddhistischer Herangehensweise ist Befriedigung eine stetige geistige Nahrung, bei der es nicht davon abhängt, dass Wün...

Enlightenment Happens First in a Dream

Image
Karma is like a loaded freight train with a full head of steam barreling down the track. The coal shoveler rests, expecting the train to immediately stop because they stopped feeding it. That is the dilemma of a spiritual person, patience in the face of their impending unhappy karma. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ Enlightenment happens first in a dream and does not last for more than a moment. However, one awakens the next morning without memory of that but feeling quite different. This will go on from time to time (if lucky) until that person begins to practice in earnest. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~ Erleuchtung findet zuerst in einem Traum statt und dauert nicht länger als einen Moment. Man wacht zwar am nächsten Morgen auf, ohne sich daran zu erinnern, aber man fühlt sich ziemlich verändert. Dies passiert von Zeit zu Zeit (wenn man Glück hat), solange bis die Person ernsthaft anfängt zu üben." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---

Dreams and Waking Up

Image
The Buddhas assist those who have the noble goal Dreams are a function of the innate view. The hypnotic programming, which allows a living being to enter a perceptual realm, such as this human realm, is correctly flawed. The minor illogical controversies irritate the living inner being by not getting what one wishes and getting what one does not wish. These build up during the day, adding to tiredness and need for sleep and dream. Among the many kinds of dreams, two types are justification of inner logic of the hypnotic human view and learning dreams. Justification dreams do not need to be remembered to have the result of waking in the morning feeling refreshed. The stories ordinary mind tells itself during this dream time help re-stabilize the innate programming, holding mind to a larger karmic story. Waking in the morning without feeling rested means that the justification stories could not be completed and satisfy the subconscious mind; the inner conflict is not resolv...

The Confusion of the Unenlightened State

Image
The innate view confuses folks by taking what is short duration and made from other causes, to have a reality that it does not contain. This is like feelings and scenes that comes in dreams; upon awakening we remember that it was not real. Like that, awakened ones see the world as a dream. ~DGR~~~ ""Die angeborene Sichtweise verwirrt die Leute, indem sie das was von kurzer Dauer ist und aus anderen Ursachen entsteht mit einer Wirklichkeit versieht, die es nicht besitzt. Dies ist wie mit Gefühlen und Situationen, die in Träumen entstehen; wenn wir aufwachen, erinnern wir uns, dass es nicht wirklich war. Und so sehen die Erwachten die Welt als einen Traum." - DGR ---"

Dreams are Influential to Our Wellbeing

Image
Dreams are influential to our well being. We can pray to experience being with our teachers, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, during dreams that might actually happen. In any case, whether Buddhist experiences come or not, our minds are gradually changed. We continue to be attracted to higher values such as wishing to be with enlightened beings. In the morning, we might feel a strong energy in the heart center due to our wish that made us dear to the enlightened ones, receiving their blessings! That strong and sweet energy is carried throughout the day, and for some, it lasts much longer. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche "Träume beeinflussen unser Wohlbefinden. Wir können dafür beten, in unseren Träumen mit unseren Lehrern, den Buddhas und Bodhisattvas zusammen zu sein und das kann wirklich passieren. Aber egal ob wir buddhistische Erlebnisse haben oder nicht - unser Geist verändert sich nach und nach. Wir fühlen uns weiter zu höheren Werten hingezogen, wie zu dem Wunsch mit erleuchteten Wesen z...

Nightmares, What is the Cause?

"Some people suffer or complain about bad dreams, but you cannot heal your dreams. Instead, we need to address daily life because ordinary dreams are simply reflections of disturbed daytime activity. However, for serious meditators, dreams could be a reflection of deep inner activity, dreaming that he or she is attending teachings or performing acts of compassion. It depends upon whether someone is meditating strongly or not" ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Algunas personas sufren o se quejan de pesadillas, pero no puedes curar tus sueños. En cambio, tenemos que dirigirnos a la vida diaria porque los sueños ordinarios son simplemente reflexiones de la actividad de día desequilibrada. Sin embargo, para meditators serio, los sueños podrían ser una reflexión de la actividad interior profunda, soñando que él o ella asistan a enseñanzas o realicen actos de la compasión. Esto depende de si alguien medita fuertemente o no" ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Certaines personnes sou...
