Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

A modern education prepares the child to work but a spiritual education prepares the child to live! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~ "Eine moderne Erziehungsmethode bereitet das Kind auf die Arbeit vor, während eine spirituelle Erziehungsmethode das Kind auf das Leben vorbereitet." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- l'éducation moderne prépare un enfant au travail tandis que l'éducation spirituelle prépare un enfant à la vie! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~ La educación moderna prepara al niño para trabajar, pero una educación espiritual prepara al niño para vivir! ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche A positive attitude based in spiritual values benefits everyone It is wise to remain more quiet when we don't know....

Education has become more complex but remains superficial. This quickly fades and at the time of death, will disappear. The dharma transmitted in authentic teachings changes us in our essence; that is real education. This is why you are now interested in spiritual subjects, the deep education and training you received in before lives influences you to want more. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ""Erziehung ist heutzutage komplexer geworden, aber sie bleibt oberflächlich. Sie verblasst schnell und verschwindet zum Zeitpunkt des Todes völlig. Das Dharma, welches in authentischen Belehrungen vermittelt wird, verändert uns in unserer Essenz; das ist wahre Erziehung. Deshalb bist Du nun an spirituellen Themen interessiert: weil die tiefe Erziehung und das Training, die Du in früheren Leben erhalten hast, Dich beeinflussen, so dass Du mehr davon willst." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---

For most people, life seems to go on in a haphazard way, just taking care of everyday problems and trying to find time for hobbies or taking a break from daily stress. Every once in a while a friend will be enthusiastic about meditation or going on a weekend retreat that will stimulate the heart to do something about meaningful change. Somehow, that never gets going. In a momentary rush, some will buy a meditation cushion or a Buddha statue, but now it is dusty or exactly where did it get stored away? If we stop to think about it, however, much of our daily life is simply walking through the results of earlier planning for the future. Upon reflection, we can review the steps that others and later we ourselves took to ensure our comfortable future, even though (like everyone else), not everything turned out as planned. In any case, let us examine the stages of planning that we used in our ordinary lives that prepared us for success. We might find that the strategies we used to acco...

We need to connect to a more natural and organic process of inner development by using good common sense in our spiritual seeking. A very good method is to think about the commonalities of human existence, aside from the specifics of what the Dutch or Indians were doing 300 years ago or what Egyptians were doing 3,000 years ago or what was happening fifty years ago or 10,000 years ago. There are certain hallmarks of common needs over long stretches of human existence and human activities. The ancient principles are not apparent to us, guiding us to deeper knowledge as soon as we get the wake up alarm clock inside that something needs to happen. There seems to be a roller coaster of culture interfering with that by inviting us to ride, directing our attention to certain important activities concerning our individual participation in current culture. In general, however, we all have made the usual choices acceptable to culture in how we dress, hairstyles, probably in the car that we ...

Many people sense that something important is missing, a feeling that there is something they should already know. It seems that there occurs for some an awakening desire to break free from the mental constraints that separate them from what is real. There is something that we want to know and we want to rejoice that we understand and possess the big Truth, so we can share it with others. We might experience a desire to search for personal truth from time to time but give it up as being too complicated. And so there must is something about the search itself that needs to be examined in order for us to have a quality result. Rather than trying to find the truth immediately, let us first explore how we go about our search for truth. You know, this subject can be quite romantic, isn't that so? It has feelings of extreme importance, and feelings of gripping determination, " I will not budge from this spot until I know the truth!" To begin, we look at the criteria that...
