Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

Part of the allure of love, the craving to find someone to love, is that folks are trying to learn how to perfect the art of attracting another. The allure of love, coming from deep inside, means something pushing emotions, as well as promising a feel-good feeling. Actually, by the time you grab a special someone, put them through the wringer a few times, love doesn’t look as nice as it did a first glance. However, it is the allure of love, finding the perfect person, which keeps trying, with the hope of success while becoming more confident in the process to keep looking. This is part of the basic urge behind the allure of love; an immature view of love, which absolutely must be carefully uplifted into a more mature form. Why? Because you are really going to get hurt, whether you are the aggressor or victim! This form of grasping is going to hurt you and others repeatedly until grasping is turned off and we see a better way. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ ""Ein Teil der Verlockun...

We are given the seasons to learn how to not cling. ~DGR ~~~~ "Die Jahreszeiten wurden uns gegeben, damit wir lernen, nicht anzuhaften." - DGR ---

It is impossible to own anything: possessions, cars, or even family. That is because it is illusory. However, we do have a correct illusory responsibility to care for what is in our arena! ~DGR "Es ist unmöglich, irgend etwas zu besitzen: Eigentum, Autos, sogar die Familie. Weil all dies illuso ... risch ist. Allerdings obliegt uns die korrekte illusorische Verantwortung, uns um das zu kümmern, was in unserem Umfeld ist!" DGR "Es imposible tenerlo todo: propiedades, autos, o incluso familia. Eso se debe a que es ilusorio. Sin embargo, sí tenemos una responsabilidad ilusoria correcta a la atención de lo que está en nuestro campo!" DGR"

Renounce the underpinnings of suffering (self-cherishing, grasping and expectations) and your suffering will disappear. Suffering cannot arise after these obstacles are gone. Therefore, there is a direct link between self cherishing, grasping, expectation, and seemingly unrelated suffering. The suffering is smoke and mirrors of the actual problem. Domo Geshe Rinpoche Entsage den Dingen, die das Leiden unterstützen (Egozentrik, Anhaftung und Erwartungen) und Dein Leiden wird verschwinden. Wenn diese Hindernisse nicht mehr da sind, kann kein Leiden mehr entstehen. Deshalb gibt es eine direkte Verbindung zwischen Egozentrik, Anhaftung und Erwartung und dem scheinbar in keinem Zusammenhang stehenden Leiden. Das Leiden ist wie Schall und Rauch des eigentlichen Problems." DGR"

Seventh in a series. Emptiness of the Great: is point five of Chandrakirti Twenty Emptinesses “The great is what the ten directions encompass, all sentient beings and the entire universe. The immeasurables prove the directions' in finiteness. They pervade the limitless directions, so they cannot be measured in extent. That all ten directions in their whole vast extent are empty of essence is the emptiness of the great. The Buddha taught about its emptiness to reverse our concept of the vast as being real.” For the educated modern person, shock is a normal reaction to learning that all inner and outer events and forms and sense bases and even the emptiness are not anything you feel you were promised. This could have the effect then, of driving your awareness to seek refuge into the undifferentiated magnitude of living beings as real in their combined life force. That means all sentient beings as possessing something real. This sense of, “We are all one and that feels real”, i...
