Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

Mind itself is invisible, we can only see its effects. In a similar way, more advanced activities of mind such as states of concentration in deeper meditation are invisible but the effects are far reaching. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ ""Der Geist an sich ist unsichtbar, wir können nur seine Auswirkunge ... n sehen. Auf ähnliche Weise sind fortgeschrittenere Aktivitäten des Geists, so wie Konzentrationszustände in tieferer Meditation, unsichtbar, aber sie haben weitreichende Auswirkungen." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---"

Your body is made of the same stuff as the sun and the distant stars; you are limited by the vast cosmos. However, your mind is free of of material heaviness and unrestricted. But sadly, your exploration of freedom will eventually restrict your potential. *Rejoice*, beyond body and mind is unspeakable perfection! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ Dein Körper besteht aus demselben Material wie die Sonne und die weit entfernten Sterne; Du bist eingeschränkt durch den großen Kosmos. Allerdings ist Dein Geist frei von materieller Schwere und unbegrenzt. Aber leider wird Deine Erkundung der Freiheit Dein Potential letztendlich einschränken. *Freue Dich*, denn jenseits von Körper und Geist liegt unaussprechliche Vollkommenheit!" - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---

“The first type of prayer is for our self. No one knows the specific hopelessness of a situation better than you do because you are an expert on yourself! So, as the supreme expert on your own life, you already have an idea of what is possible and what seems absolute impossible. What is possible, you do not pray for, because you just do it without needing a miracle to make it a reality. If you think, 'I am hungry,' and there is food in the kitchen, you do not need to pray, you just go to the kitchen and make food. Like that, most things in life you are already capable of doing yourself without divine assistance. However, when something just does not make sense, or you are incapable of accomplishing a task, worry and anxiety increase. If a student has not prepared for an examination and time is running out, perhaps they decide that praying for a miracle is the only answer. Missing classes and without studying, they still hope to get a good grade. Under stress, you, the one who i...

"A basic feature of the innate view, a kind of hypnotic programming, causes us to believe that we are distinct from others and is either a problem or a good thing. It gives rise to a sense of individuality, which does not exist in higher functioning ways of being. Unless there is mental dysfunction, it is not possible to believe that while eating, we do not know whether we are putting the food in our own mouth or in the mouth of the person next to us, isn't that so? A healthy person knows they have a body and a mind separate from others. Well, not always, because sometimes people can understand unspoken intentions, so mental functions are a little leaky to hold complete privacy. However, regarding bodies and our mind-body, we are not so leaky. We understand very well about "me" and "other." The problem is overcoming basic selfishness, which runs like a dye through white cloth, coloring our thinking regarding who is the most important person in this world. M...

"The mind naturally functions with feelings of love/hatred creating suffering due to a compulsive attraction toward an object of disgust. That means we become just as connected to what we hate as what we love! However, we cannot see it this way, because then we would be upset to discover that our strong aversion toward experiencing suffering must mean we have created and cultivated a connection to suffering. Sadly, the harder we push away the disgusting thought or object, the easier it is for it to come to us. We think about what we do not want to be connected to and how much we dislike it! When we cannot get it out of our mind, it is unimaginably close to us and becomes our closest companion" ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche~~~ "La mente funciones naturales con sentimientos de amor / odio hacia la creación de sufrimiento debido a una atracción compulsiva hacia un objeto de disgusto. Eso significa que llegar a ser tan conectado a lo que odio como lo que nos gusta! Sin embargo, no po...

"There is a connection between the breath and the mind. In all of the Tibetan yogic traditions, we emphasize to the student that the mind rides the breath like a rider on a horse. Then later, when that is well understood, the meaning of pranayama breathing is skillful, without dangerous pushing or superficial, like some boring duty ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Es gibt eine Verbindung zwischen Atem und Geist. In sämtlichen tibetischen yogischen Traditionen wird dem Schüler gegenüber betont, dass der Geist auf dem Atem reitet, wie ein Reiter auf einem Pferd. Wenn dies richtig verstanden wird, w ird dadurch später die Anwendung des Pranayama Atmens kunstfertig, ohne etwas erzwingen zu wollen, was gefährlich wäre, und ohne oberflächlich zu sein wie eine langweilige Pflichtübung." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---
