Unsmiling Rinpoches

In the Tibetan traditional, the rinpoches always had serious demeanor and unsmiling. It was considered a sign of uncaring of deep responsibilities to smile and laugh- especially in public. Contact with western people has changed how we appear in public to always smiling so people feel happy. However, Tibetans felt happy when the reincarnate lamas were dignified and solemn.



Fewer ups and downs are appreciated by newer meditators












Use a proactive approach to feeling happy and purposeful!










Great Vajrayogini is a Buddha level being. A Buddha!








If you could live forever, what would you do?
Perhaps if we lived forever, we might not take inconsequentials to be so important. We would have a longer range view.
We might also consider that living forever might not always be in this form. This is actually the god realm view; although they do pass away, they have no preparation for that event.
each realm has a specific programming that makes life steady. If one sees another realm from the POV of the human realm, it seems dreamlike. If awareness internal is within another realm temporarily, the human realm will appear dreamlike.

This is correct thinking and requesting. However, that will not be nearly enough leisure and endowment to cause the actual awakening. After a great deal of preparation, we must then sincerely make the request for a tremendous burst of illuminated power and energy, like a flash of lightning, to open the door to our enlightened true nature. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Die Segnung des Erwachens sind nicht wie die in unserer Meditationspraxis beschriebene sanfte Kaskade der erhellenden Weisheit, die wir in unseren Alltagsgeist schütten, um sie für unser spirituelles Wachstum zu nutzen....

Correct meditation facilitates better data input to your deep innermost actual being by sending a different message about this world. 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...
