Who Harms Us?

Those that harm you are under the influence of your negative karma. We should avoid situations where our negativity grows so strong that it manifests on the outside. Once it has manifested, we will need to deal with its symptoms, such as pain and damage. This leaves us little time to reflect on its deeper causes. That is why we take time to retreat and consider the ramifications of our actions. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~

Diejenigen, die Dich verletzen, stehen unter dem Einfluss von negativem Karma. Wir sollten Situationen vermeiden, wo unsere Negativität so stark wird, dass sie sich äußerlich manifestiert. Wenn sie sich erst manifestiert hat, müssen wir mit ihren Symptomen, wie Schmerz und Verletzung, fertig werden. Dies erlaubt uns wenig Zeit, um über ihre tieferen Ursachen nachzudenken. Deshalb nehmen wir uns Zeit für Retreat und überdenken die Auswirkungen unserer Handlungen." - 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
