Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

I get energized while reading about scientific theories related to reality. I leap for joy at the transitional stages that science has achieved while working toward discovering deeper reality. There are both scientific and skeptical views o f the nature of reality presented for us to accept. Science is just beginning to ask some big questions with the possibility of real answers; it becomes interesting from a Buddhist point of view. In practical application, in modern society, one’s personal worldview is the exclusive position of reality and just as valid a scientific model of reality as the next persons. Because the basis of communication with others is our personal worldview, it’s helpful to reflect just how many different worldviews are out there.

What is art, music, dance, and  literature? Living beings are by nature, compulsively expressive, h owever, the actual creative force is pre-active to the human realm and is stimulated to manifestation in several ways. One is provoked by karma, a copiously boiling mixture of inner causes without closure. This unorganized potential meets volatile conditions in the world and in the personal environment. Another way creativity is expressed is by a natural and organic process of personal evolutionary development. This more organized expression arrives from the interior "seeded" by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that spill into manifestation as sacred energies. In higher development however, being compelled to stir creativity to manifestation is not as skillful as moving awareness toward the interior during meditation. The greater creative act is  to enter the dynamic stillness of the pre-active state. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~
