Emptiness: Release of Constriction

Emptiness points to the release point of constrictions holding mind to a superficial self referent use of the actual life force. It describes the confusions in painful detail with "not this, not that!"
There is great potential for advanced life force activities beyond the veils and barriers of the human hypnotic view on the way to full awakening of Buddhahood. Constrictions and obstacles that are presently preventing the first level of awakening will require attention to overcome rather than spending a great deal of time struggling to understand emptiness prematurely. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~
 
‎"Leerheit weist hin auf das Loslassen von einengenden Punkten hin, die den Geist an einer oberflächlichen, selbstbezogenen Nutzung der eigentlichen Lebenskraft anbinden. Die Verwirrungen werden mit schmerzhafter Genauigkeit durch 'nicht d...ies, nicht das' beschrieben!
Auf dem Weg zur völlig erleuchteten Buddhaschaft gibt es ein großes Potential für fortgeschrittene Aktivitäten der Lebenskraft, die über die Schleier und Grenzen der menschlichen, hypnotischen Sichtweise hinausgehen. Einengungen und Hindernisse, die momentan die erste Stufe des Erwachens verhindern, benötigen Aufmerksamkeit, um überwunden zu werden, anstatt sehr viel Zeit darauf zu verwenden und sich zu quälen, um vorzeitig die Leerheit zu verstehen." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---
 I do not wish to define myself by what I am against, that would be small minded indeed!

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
