Relating to Lu, Nagas; the Serpent Beings

Lu are part of the natural world. In India they are called nagas or serpent/beings, but they are not snakes. These living beings are very real but not material. They guard the structural integrity of the grid of manifestation of this world. Their function as guardians can create seeming conflicts between the desires of... humans and the needs of the ecology and environmental stability. When distressed by pollution, the anger of these beings can sometimes even lead to droughts, earthquakes or illnesses. Special training allows some people to listen to the concerns of lu and relay their warnings to those who are damaging the environment. There are methods to relax and circumvent these concerns, however, in the long run, this is not the solution. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche


"Die Lu sind ein Teil der natürlichen Welt. In Indien heißen sie Nagas oder Schlangenwesen, aber sie sind keine Schlangen. Diese Lebewesen sind sehr real aber nicht materiell vorhanden. Sie bewachen die strukturelle Integrität des Manifestationsrasters dieser Welt. Ihre Funktion als Beschützer kann zu scheinbaren Konflikten zwischen menschlichen Verlangen und den Bedürfnissen von Ökologie und Stabilität der Umwelt führen. Wenn sie durch Umweltverschmutzung gequält werden kann die Wut dieser Wesen manchmal sogar zu Dürren, Erdbeben und Krankheiten führen. Einige Menschen können durch spezielles Training die Besorgnisse der Lu verstehen und ihre Warnungen an die Beschädiger der Umwelt weiterleiten. Es gibt Methoden diese Bedenken zu entspannen und zu umgehen aber auf lange Sicht ist das nicht die richtige Lösung." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---"

Like other litigious societies, we have become over-doctored and looking for that magic pill to make us well and feel satisfied. Perhaps it would be better to consider stress, lack of closure to poor past relationships, anger or jealousy as causes for our poor health... and then correct our errors. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Wie andere prozessfreudige Gesellschaften verlassen wir uns zu sehr darau f, medizinisch überversorgt zu werden und halten nach der magischen Pille Ausschau, die uns befriedigt und gesund macht. Vielleicht wäre es besser, Stress, unbewältigte Beziehungen, Wut oder Eifersucht als Ursachen für unsere schlechte Gesundheit in Betracht zu ziehen.... und dann unser Fehlverhalten zu korrigieren." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Sharing happiness is actually what is done in the dharma practice of the first of the Four Great Wishes. This trains us to share our cultivated joy and not simply hold it as a personal possession. The second of the Great Wishes strong

Two explanations of the same innate view Classic Buddhism describes the innate view as the error of taking what is transitory and impermanent as permanent. All suffering arises from this misknowledge. However, I have expanded this description to understand that the innate view also bestows a full but minimum set of perceptions that are needed to allow the transmigrating consciousness of a to-be-hu man to participate within the human realm. After the breakthrough of enlightenment, aware practitioners will not discard the minimal basic and now purified innate view but will mold it skillfully into a correct conventional view. Same innate view but a non-Buddhist explanation-- Within the deeper mind of every individual person are several carefully constructed base perceptions that must be present in order for them to participate in their human potential development within the human realm. We cannot damage our perceptions by pretending the world is not there, or that we are not here, in ord
