Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

The way the everyday mind works probably doesn’t give good grounding to help with end-of-life care at home for a family member: the medical aspects as well as watching for subtle signs to make them more comfortable. It is a very difficult job for a family member caregiver. Others who occasionally visit don’t know what is happening and due to anxiety often will overcompensate by complaining strong ly about the care of the patient that makes it hard on everyone. No one, (visitor and caregiver alike) looks forward to their visiting day.

Es ist außerdem eine flüchtigere Last als die Ansammlung dichter Knoten an sorgenschweren karmischen Auswirkungen, die festsitzen und sich nicht auflösen. Die Atmosphäre ist friedvoller und gewährt Raum und Zeit, um wichtigere Dinge zu erledigen, anstatt sich mit unglücklichen Umständen herumzuschlagen. Egal wie Deine gegen...

Rinpoche: After meditating and sitting daily for some time, the body might begin to complain of new aches and pains from sitting. Beginning meditators often see meditation as a struggle with the body to hold a posture that seems more like a pretzel than a human should endure. Other meditators try one cushion after another to find comfort, while still others might look for sacred symbols on a Tibetan carpet to help them, perhaps magically, overcome the sense of having a body at all! Maybe the problem is poor posture, so it is good to review the traditional advice for meditation position, adapted to a Western body. Of course, there are flexible and athletic people everywhere, but in general, Western people are raised sitting in chairs with their legs hanging over rather that cross-legged as it is done in the Orient. That means that young bones are formed and feel comfortable in very different styles. Eastern meditation posture is based on what is most comfortable and is not conside...
