A human being is nearly unlimited in her or his capacity to grow, change and benefit so many others. In general, our related animal realm is limited due to captivity, limited intelligence and more restrictions in its ability to adapt to anything beyond its natural habitat. On the other hand, humans go into the sky and outer space, or under the sea and earth by adapting to harsh circumstances. The human mind can even transcend identity with its vehicle, the human body, and become a cultivated awakened being. This is the greatest feat of a human being! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~


""Menschliche Wesen haben eine beinah unbegrenzte Fähigkeit zu wachsen, sich zu verändern und so vielen Anderen Gutes zu tun. Im allgemeinen ist der uns verwandte tierische Bereich begrenzt, da es dort Gefangenschaft, beschränkte Intelligenz und andere Einschränkungen gibt, was die Fähigkeit angeht, sich allem was über den natürlichen Lebensraum hinausgeht anzupassen. Menschen bewegen sich dagen im Himmel oder im Weltraum, oder unter dem Wasser oder der Erde, indem sie sich an harte Gegebenheiten anpassen. Der menschliche Geist kann sogar mit seinem Medium, dem menschlichen Körper, Identität überschreiten und ein verfeinertes erwachtes Wesen werden. Dies ist die größte Errungenschaft eines menschlichen Wesens!" - 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

Buddhist musings for springtime........

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
