Enlightenment Happens First in a Dream

Karma is like a loaded freight train with a full head of steam barreling down the track. The coal shoveler rests, expecting the train to immediately stop because they stopped feeding it. That is the dilemma of a spiritual person, patience in the face of their impending unhappy karma. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

Enlightenment happens first in a dream and does not last for more than a moment. However, one awakens the next morning without memory of that but feeling quite different. This will go on from time to time (if lucky) until that person begins to practice in earnest. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~
Erleuchtung findet zuerst in einem Traum statt und dauert nicht länger als einen Moment. Man wacht zwar am nächsten Morgen auf, ohne sich daran zu erinnern, aber man fühlt sich ziemlich verändert. Dies passiert von Zeit zu Zeit (wenn man Glück hat), solange bis die Person ernsthaft anfängt zu üben." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---

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...
