Renounce the Underpinnings of Suffering

Renounce the underpinnings of suffering (self-cherishing, grasping and expectations) and your suffering will disappear. Suffering cannot arise after these obstacles are gone. Therefore, there is a direct link between self cherishing, grasping, expectation, and seemingly unrelated suffering. The suffering is smoke and mirrors of the actual problem. Domo Geshe Rinpoche


Entsage den Dingen, die das Leiden unterstützen (Egozentrik, Anhaftung und Erwartungen) und Dein Leiden wird verschwinden. Wenn diese Hindernisse nicht mehr da sind, kann kein Leiden mehr entstehen. Deshalb gibt es eine direkte Verbindung zwischen Egozentrik, Anhaftung und Erwartung und dem scheinbar in keinem Zusammenhang stehenden Leiden. Das Leiden ist wie Schall und Rauch des eigentlichen Problems." DGR"

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
