Hotel Karma

Planet Earth, this world, is not your real home. You cannot stay here endlessly; you need to evolve beyond this small place. Inside, part of you already knows that, sometimes feeling a kind of sick longing for real home. This world is like Hotel Karma. You have a certain amount of lifespan; how long you are going to stay. You don’t even know how much money you have in your pocket and how long you will be here. When the management says, “You have not paid your bill. Now you have to go.” Like that, when your lifespan is finished, you must check out of Hotel Karma. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche

When our strategies are in alignment with higher development preparation, it is like living in a different world than before. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Korrekte Meditation erleichtert eine bessere Datenaufnahme durch dein tiefes innerstes eigentliches Wesen, da sie eine andere Botschaft von dieser Welt vermittelt. Wenn unsere Strategien auf die Vorbereitung zur höheren Entwicklung ausgerichtet sind, ist dies als lebten wir in einer anderen Welt als zuvor." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Deep beneath ordinary thoughts lies our true nature; pure, vibrant and still as a pristine reflecting pool. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ Tief unter den gewöhnlichen Gedanken liegt unsere wahre Natur; rein, kräftig und still wie ein unberührter, spiegelnder Teich." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Profondamente al di sotto del livello dei pensieri ordinari giace la nost...
