Catholic Saints and Tibetan Yogis

Spring springs... springing spring! (English translation: the spring season has arrived with a bounce in its step freeing itself from the clutches of winter....)

Close your eyes for a moment and envision that you and your highest potential are searching for each other.... what is in the way? That is your obstacle.

What did the great Catholic meditator saints have in common with Tibetan yogis and yoginis?... they were all practicing Tantra! Their tantric inner union with higher being such as God, or Buddhist deities was the same, only under different loyalties. The bliss states, samadhi states same. One life as a Catholic hermit, another life... as a mountain yogin... it all depends on the support system available at the time. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~
""Was hatten die großen meditierenden katholischen Heiligen mit den tibetischen Yogis und Yoginis gemeinsam?... Sie alle übten sich im Tantra! Ihre innere tantrische Vereinigung mit dem höheren Wesen, wie Gott oder den buddhistischen Gottheiten, war dieselbe, nur die Loyalität lag woanders. Die Zustände der Glückseligkeit und des Samadhi... dasselbe. Das eine Leben als katholische(r) Einsiedler(in), das andere als Yogi im Gebirge... es hing alles vom Unterstützungssystem der jeweiligen Zeit ab." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---

The awakening blessing is not like the gentle cascade of illuminating wisdom described in our meditation practice to be poured into our everyday mind that can be used for our spiritual growth. Of course, we want and need free time to meditate. We also want the Buddha to cause our lives to become suitably rearranged for more spiritual emphasis that is called leisure and endowment in Buddhist term inology. 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...
