Buddhism in Tibetan Tradition, But Not Slavishly So!

That amazing future you that will become fully prepared to enter into the enlightened state will remember you, but you have no way of remembering them. The main point is…. that person about to awaken will never arrive unless you make stron g effort and determination to become free. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Das erstaunliche zukünftige Du, welches vollständig darauf vorbereitet sein wird, in den erleuchteten Zustand einzutreten, wird sich an dich erinnern, aber für dich gibt es keine Möglichkeit, dich an es zu erinnern. Der Hauptpunkt ist... die Person, die kurz vor dem Erwachen steht, wird niemals entstehen, wenn du keine starke Anstrengung unternimmst und den Vorsatz fasst, frei zu werden." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Ese futuro asombroso tu que se convertirá totalmente preparado para entrar al estado iluminado te recordara, pero no tienes maneras de recordarlo. El punto principal es…. Esa persona que despertara nunca llegara a menos que tu hagas un fuerte esfuerzo y deter...

No One Could Push the Buddha Around.. Right?

Buddha Shakyamuni was a true nirmanakaya, and ordinary people could not hold him to do their bidding. As a true nirmanakaya, (or emanation being from higher principle, or buddha activity realm), when forced into a way of life not in accordance with how he was actually alive, He affirmed, "This is like nothing,” and left. For Him, it w as not renunciation or an escape from imposed responsibilities, He simply did not accept being lead around or used, because He had important work to do. It was not a test of His will power or yogic abilities, nor was it a culmination of His previous lives that caused Him to escape from ordinary life. He was simply not that kind of being who would accede to the demands of others to be what they wanted for their worldly purposes. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Der Buddha Shakyamuni war ein wahrhaftiger Nirmanakaya und gewöhnliche Menschen konnten ihn nicht dazu zwingen, zu tun was sie wollten. Als wahrer Nirmanakaya (oder Wesen, das aus ...

The Staging Ground for Ultimate Reality

In higher standards, we will be judged by how well we learned to along with others and how we improved our compassionate nature. This is the value of a life well lived! ~DGR ~~~ Regarding the four Buddha bodies. Usually, we talk about Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, and Nirmanakaya as the three bodies, but sometimes we see adding Svabhavakaya body, which is an important element in the teachings of the higher being. Svabhavakaya body is not actually a body, but a highly developed preactive mental state preparing f or a neutral entry into Dharmakaya: the absolute truth body. The Svabhavakaya referred to in classic texts translates into English as the emptiness of emptiness. This is emptiness devoid of all phenomena, even devoid of its own perception of the state of emptiness. This advanced state is a staging area, leaving all perceptions to enter into Dharmakaya. The Svabhavakaya is the state of neutral without phenomena arising, or the mind moving. It is not only the state of ...

Advanced Beings from Previous Lives Can Be Disoriented

Emanated beings occupying enlightened forms, such as buddhas and bodhisattvas, are not confused regarding illusory appearances. Those in nirmanakaya form, appearing as human beings, are not confused internally but may experience difficulties in life. Because they do not have full control of themselves until they have reentered the clarified and purified consciousness, they remain incapable of holding that knowledge. Aside from emanations, others who have been practitioners in previous lives, even those who have received blessings of the buddhas and bodhisattvas in abundance, still remain unclarified and unpurified. Even they will feel confusion regarding the illusory nature of form, causing problems for continued development. Those who have experienced strong spiritual activity in previous lives, really want serious guidance in this present life. Not satisfied with baby pabulum of general instructions they will make effort to connect with a qualified mentor; there is something stronger...

Can You Become a Deity?

Image
Regarding the three bodies of a buddha: dharmakaya, sambogakaya and nirmanakaya. A meditator cannot assume an actual sambogakaya deity bliss body without already being a nirmanakaya (supreme human emanation). The meditator can only do this in a visualized manner as part of a tantric meditation practice. Emanation does not happen from human to deity level being, (from gross to subtle), only from subtle to gross. Sambogakaya bodies are the description of emanations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas moving toward their working position of nirmanakaya. Of course, many (if not most) higher-level beings do not manifest in human form but remain in a working position of a sambogakaya being. Learners, such as advanced meditators or bodhisattvas on the path of clarification have another process, attached to a sambogakaya form deity for continued learning. A nirmanakaya, supreme emanation body cannot be constructed from an ordinary human being; one moment an ordinary human being, and ...

Buddha was a Nirmanakaya Body Emanation

"Buddha Shakyamuni was a true nirmanakaya, which means that he actually was not there as ordinary people are present. He was an appearance. This does not mean that he did not have a mental presence or a physical body. A body/mind always depends upon identity and arises from various levels of pre manifestation into form. At the time of the Buddhas enlightenment, there were stages that had to be penetrated, but during and after the time of his enlightenment, while awakening, his identity was already very little tied to the physical due to his nature and preparation. This is what made the Buddha capable to literally throw off energetic oppression of the innate view. This is what politically oppressed peoples rarely do as individuals, but can do as a group, throwing off oppression, even if it means the end of their civilization in the struggle for freedom. They will not tolerate it. They do not accept." ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Buda Shakyamuni fue un Nirmanakaya cierto, lo ...
