Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

Yawning will shift the internal life force dynamic by using a kind of hydraulic pressure to lift the mind. It indicates an incapability to do what needs to be done with the state of mind that is present. Most folks yawn at night or when bored to adjust their inner energy to continue being awake and alert. Some will yawn in the morning to try to wake up. Sighing would have an opposite effect by subconscious control: depressing the life force. It would indicate a strategy of not wanting to add further energy from an interaction by removing energy. Yogic energy adjustments are done differently but there is a similar basis in the body/mind/lifeforce energies of the ordinary person. That is why it is possible to train in the inner yogas to gain conscious control of the body and mind. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Beim Gähnen verschiebt sich die Dynamik der inneren Lebenskraft, indem durch eine Art hydraulischen Druck der Geist erhoben wird. Dies deutet auf die Unfähigkei...

"Speed of ordinary life and lack of training produces many unstabilized mental energies that remain stuck in you. That feels painful, scattered and makes you easily distracted! This is anti – yoga! Perhaps you have not processed them yogically into your inner fast enough to keep up with mental production. Perhaps you did not even know you were supposed to be doing this. Fewer thoughts and higher quality thoughts are a healing balm to quiet excess production of energy" ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche~~~ "La velocidad de la vida ordinaria y la carencia de la formación producen muchas energías mentales no estabilizadas que permanecen pegadas en ti. ¡Se siente doloroso, dispersado y hace fácilmente distrajiste! ¡Esto es anti – yoga! Quizás no los has tratado yogically en tu interior bastante rápido para mantenerte al corriente de la producción mental. Quizás no sabías hasta que se supuso que tú hacías esto. Menos pensamientos y los pensamientos de calidad más altos son un bálsamo que s...

Using practical efforts to help others transform to the enlightened state, Buddhism sometimes changes into a system that attempts to erode the superstructure of the ego. This does not work as well as it should because the punishment of the ego will usually cause it to submerge, change or to adapt to the harsh methods to destroy it. You actually cannot crush the ego. The mind is very tricky and changeable, and so it remains, in spite of efforts to destroy it. However, it can very easily morph into a disgusting display of impoverished self-degradation that is totally fake. It is scary to watch a person attempt to control their ego by hiding self-cherishing in humility. They can even be hiding it from themselves. The ego is suffering and needs to be separated from the overactive, over stimulated, and unaligned energetic state of confusion. The self-cherishing that is a feature of unenlightened existence as well as inappropriate pride need to be destroyed in order to be rescued fro...

Part 4 of a series. The third part of HOPE is P for perseverance. Any pleasure that we might receive by the anticipation of success in ordinary hope is modified by fear. There is a heaviness of vacillation with a finer energetic oscillation, between hope and fear, which creates a different state of mind called worry. It is an absolute method used to harm your ability to get the desired outcome. The negative energy of worry gives the additional ammunition brought into hope creating even further doubts that the outcome will be successful. This is where we need to get out our own big six-shooter. Worry weakens positive outcome. In its best form, hope is pretty sure that you are going to get the desired outcome with only a small amount of doubt. However, fear is a big doubt so we need to reduce and eventually eliminate doubt. Now, here is where we affirm and strengthen the mind of auspiciousness. The mind of auspiciousness holds space for the best outcome to arise without waverin...
