Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

      True wisdom appears innocent, but those in wisdoms care are beyond the machinations of sophistication. To get to that point, we will need preparation for bodhichitta, the mind of enlightenment. This is called arising bodhichitta, and is the stage to get rid of what is no longer useful or needed: stress, anxiety, problems, issues impeding your process, even whining, (hooray! no more whining). Of course, these obstacles are like nothing to the awakened state, however during the preparation stage they squat in the perceptual location of higher perceptions like a defective plug of an old fashioned radio. They must be removed because they’re taking the place of a higher concept. When that goes into place, it is as though it disappears in a healing modality.

For them it was glorious to be able to join the flow, the river of people who were circumnambulating the great stupa. This is one of the eight original great stupas containing holy relics of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni The devotion and the feeling around the stupa is absolutely marvelous. However this is lost on those arriving with the mind of the tourist who can hardly wait to get some quality photographs of people holding their little prayer beads in their hand or turning a prayer wheel.
