Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

Develop love without attachment to get the full experience. ~DGR ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ""Entwickle Liebe ohne Anhaftung, um das volle Erlebnis zu erhalten." DGR"

From where does extraordinary motivation arise; the one that wishes to heal others? Whether trying to heal others or ourselves, the most effective method of connecting to healing energies is developing altruistic great compassion, the foundation of healing itself. Naturally, if a person is not well, they have an active and involved interest in healing from the viewpoint of a patient. However, there are others who want to understand energetic healing out of a sense of curiosity. By wishing to spiritually realize the mystical incantations that some healers use, feel the laying on of hands; they can sense that something magical is happening that feels good. Still others have a more pragmatic view, adding energetic healing to the creation of causes and conditions for healing to arise in harmony with allopathic medicine. Due to karma from previous actions ripening, some people will be the patient, some will be the spiritual sensualists, and others will dive into wishing to help others. Each...

Even now, there are great spiritual beings that have already achieved the enlightened and awakened state repeatedly by myriad methods of enlightenment but continue to practice hard. Each one is rushing in their practice in order to participate and be part of the next world teacher, who will be born as a human being and called Maitreya. That Buddha will not be a single person but will come from the vast compassion of many evolved beings. Among serious practitioners, there is still time to develop the qualities to be part of the great story: the activities of the coming world teacher Buddha. Even among those of you who are reading this … who knows which of you might be named Maitreya in the future. For those who are in the process of purifying themselves by sincere Dharma service, preparation for transformation will go quickly. Even that goof ball person cutting grass or serving lunches at the dharma center, the one that you thing doesn’t have a chance of enlightenmen...

Heaven and the pure lands are the same kind of place. Praying to be reborn in Amitaba Buddhas pure land or God of the Christians heaven is pretty much the same. A bit more exotic perhaps... The difference is that Christianity is based on the ultimate reality of God and the unreality of all else by comparison. Buddhism says even God and the pure realm heavens are illusory, and there are deeper levels to be penetrated. In practical application, however, they operate in very similar ways. Practice virtue, meditate, love others, be kind and rely solely on God/Amitabha in order to be saved. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche „Der Himmel und die reinen Bereiche sind dieselbe Art von Ort. Es ist ziemlich das Gleiche, ob man darum betet im reinen Bereich des Amitabha Buddhas oder im Himmel des christlichen Gotts wiedergeboren zu werden. Vielleicht etwas exotischer.... Der Unterschied ist, dass das Christentum auf der letztendlichen Wirklichkeit Gottes im Gegensatz zur Unwirklichkeit alles anderen basiert. D...

You will be honored, you will be needed, you will be loved..... this and more awaits you beyond the veil of ordinary mind, when you bind the needs of living beings to your great purpose. ~DGR ""Du wirst geehrt werden, Du wirst gebraucht werden, Du wirst geliebt werden..... dies und mehr erwartet Di...ch jenseits des Schleiers des gewöhnlichen Geists wenn Du die Bedürfnisse lebender Wesen mit Deinem großen Ziel verbindest." - DGR ---

When moving to a new house, the first thing to be brought into the house, traditionally is a Buddha statue, along with a small table and fancy cloth to place it on. We carry it in with respect, reciting mantras, inviting the Buddha to reside there. Do three prostrations and them bring in your household items. Even if you are the only Buddhist in the family, bring your Buddha image to your personal space before the bed, clothing and other objects are brought into your room. This is the mindful and auspicious method. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche "Buddhistischer Umzugsratschlag. Beim Einzug in ein neues Haus ist traditionellerweise das erste was dort hinein gebracht wird eine Buddhastatue, zusammen mit einem kleinen Tisch und einem schönen Tuch darauf. Wir tragen sie voller Respekt hinein während wir Mantras rezitieren und bitten den Buddha, hier zu wohnen. Dann mache drei Niederwerfungen und bringe Deine anderen Besitztümer herein. Selbst wenn Du der einzige Buddhist in der Familie bist, br...

There are many different kinds of Dharma teaching. Some give information without any inner teaching ability. Others rarely or never speak and only give inner guidance and care. However, there are some who teach both inside and out, such as HH the Dalai Lama. I think I gained some confidence to teach when I finally understood that the English language is capable of supporting deep concepts. As a Tibetan, we felt that the carefully crafted Tibetan dharma words were too complicated to describe in English, so if people were serious students, they would be encouraged to study Tibetan language. I do not feel that way now. Domo Geshe Rinpoche~~~~~~~~~
