Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

In a strict sense, all phenomena are empty of inherent existence, even those that cannot be directly observed because of subtle causes and conditions. The controversy whether space is permanent or not is even debated as fine points of cosmology between Buddhist traditions. Dark matter is an aspect of space. If it has function, it is pure or clarity illusory as well as also being empty of inherent  existence. On the other hand, the contamination that brings rise to phenomena is simply the aggregation of confused and misaligned energies without producing a valid and stable function. I personally cannot accept dark matter as a theoretical fantasy, because it has a reactive existence by default. Unexplained energy is there where we cannot see it with today’s instruments... but tomorrow... ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "In einem strengen Sinn sind alle Phänomene leer von inhärenter Existenz, selbst jene, die durch subtile Ursachen und Bedinungen nicht direkt beobachtet werden können.

Many sensitive people have a problem being around the suffering of another because it is personally painful and mentally distressing. They cannot help the one that is suffering because they are in pain themselves. This is because as long as one carries seeds of suffering inside, the suffering of others will cause their own anguish to re-ignite. This is why the bodhisattvas extinguished their own s uffering to become capable of helping others. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Für viele sensible Menschen ist es ein Problem in der Nähe von Leidenden zu sein weil es für sie persönlich schmerzhaft und eine geistige Qual ist. Sie können dem Leidenden nicht helfen weil sie selbst Schmerzen haben. Denn solange jemand die Samen des Leids in sich trägt wird durch das Leid von anderen seine eigene Pein neu angefacht. Deshalb haben die Bodhisattvas ihr eigenes Leiden ausgelöscht, um fähig zu werden, anderen zu helfen." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Beaucoup de gens sensibles ont un problème face...

We are familiar in creating substances that bear no resemblance or have dramatically different properties than the original material. We can say that they undergo an irreversible quantum shift. Some examples are wood to ash or an acorn to a mighty oak tree. Each one is a transformed object.  Using this analogy, we might understand how consciousness that has been directed toward ordinary thinking  can undergo a transformation and become dramatically and irreversibly changed. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Wir sind daran gewöhnt, dass es Substanzen gibt, die keine Ähnlichkeit mit dem ursprünglichen Material besitzen oder sich dramatisch davon unterscheiden. Wir können sagen, dass sie einen unumkehrbaren Quantensprung durchmachen. Beispiele dafür wären Holz, das zu Asche wird oder eine Eichel zu einer mächtigen Eiche. Sie sind jeweils transformierte Objekte. Mithilfe dieser Analogie verstehen wir vielleicht wie das Bewusstsein, das auf gewöhnliches Denken ausgerichtet war, eine T...

A sacred and secret Hawaiian holy place.  At the road near the hidden entrance to the secret holy place I checked before stepping inside the jungle. I said in inner-speak, “May we come to your holy place?” The Hawaiian sacred inner beings replied, “No, not right now,” because they were doing preparations for important ceremonies which were happening in a few days. Of course, our guide was not  aware of that. The inner beings continued, “We are sorry; we don’t have time to meet because of these activities which are coming up.” By the way, our guide later confirmed it, I think by calling someone on the phone. I said, “We have come from very far; are you sure that I can’t at least come part way toward your location?” They replied in inner-speak, “Yes, come.” Once inside, we went to a particular spot; you cannot even call it a clearing, because it’s deep in the jungle. It was where certain ceremonies…and I explained to the guide, (who wasn’t telling me…but verified it,) that ...
