Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

I have often thought about the speed of different life forms. Perhaps the slow loris or the snail might not be able to see us well... we might appear to their perceptions as a blur. The hummingbird moves so quickly.... we might seem to them  as if we moved like snails. Inner beings move at a greater speed because their perceptions are not as encumbered as the dense human mind however, clarity inner beings, such as buddhas are effortlessly quick, even appearing in many places at once. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Ich habe oft über die Geschwindigkeit verschiedener Lebensformen nachgedacht. Vielleicht können uns der langsame Faulaffe oder die Schnecke nicht gut sehen... es könnte sein, dass wir in ihrer Wahrnehmung verschwommen erscheinen. Der Kolibri bewegt sich so schnell.... vielleicht kommt es ihm vor, als ob wir uns wie Schnecken bewegten. Innere Wesen bewegen sich mit größerer Geschwindigkeit weil ihre Wahrnehmungen nicht so belastet sind wie der dichte men...

Do not practice war... nor the precursors of war! Do not practice anger.... nor the precursors of anger! do not practice irritation.... nor the precursors of irritation!

However, this can only occur when we break free from watching our own suffering. This empathic comp assion sees that everyone is suffering at least as much as I am, and perhaps more! This form of compassion destroys...

The justification for war is the same as the justification for peace: to end suffering. ~DGR ~~~ ""Die Rechtfertigung für Krieg ist dieselbe wie die Rechtfertigung für den Frieden: das Leiden zu beenden." -DGR---"

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 ...
