Satisfied Buddhist - Domo Geshe Rinpoche

You came to this world to learn how to get back on the evolutionary journey to perfection. Each and every one of us needs to meditate with a calm and steady mind to become familiar with the steps needed in the next segment of the Great Journey. You are capable of achieving your potential, it is built into you! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Du bist auf diese Welt gekommen, um zu lernen, wie Du zur evolutionären Reise zur Vollkommenheit zurückkehren kannst. Jeder einzelne von uns muss lernen, mit ruhigem und beständigem Geist zu meditieren, um sich mit den Schritten vertraut zu machen, die für den nächsten Abschnitt der Großen Reise notwendig sind. Du bist fähig dazu, Dein Potential zu erreichen; es ist ein Teil von Dir!" - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- The portion of dharma teachings that are integrated into your mind stream is the only preserved dharma you actually hold. The dharma is vast and will require a great deal of development to be considered a great preserver o...

As a new born baby, you were the product of all the karma from your just previous life or lives. However, as you grew older you exhausted some of that accumulation of karma through experiences while gaining new karma as its result. The ordinary process of gaining and exhausting binding karma would be like trying to sweep away the entire ocean! You are still currently a product of the ripening aspect of previous lives with much unexhausted karma that influences and compels you. This is the grave situation that all living beings are in. Karma without dharma is endless. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~ ""Als neugeborenes Baby warst Du das Produkt Deines Karmas aus dem gerade vorhergehenden Leben, oder aus mehreren vorherhehenden Leben. Im Lauf des Älterwerdens hast Du jedoch einen Teil dieser karmischen Ansammlung durch Erlebnisse abgebaut, während Du als Resultat wieder neues Karma angesammelt hast. Der gewöhnliche Prozess des Ansammelns und Erschöpfens von bindend...

Some years ago, I instigated and have worked on a special project to understand further my insights regarding what I call the Personal Mandala Matrix. I have done much new research with the wonderful assistance of Dr. Capri Fillmore, a medical researcher and physician and Dr. Mitzie Forbes, a PHD researcher, who record and document t he findings. What is a Mandala Matrix? Number one; it is the organization of individual perceptions. Number two; it is the living process of intensities of energy residing in and empowered by the perceptions and the interior life force controlled by perceptions. Number three; it is the dynamic between perceptions. I share with you just a bit from my work. In the future, I hope that others will come forward to develop a machine such as CAT scan to diagnose disease mechanically in the way that I can do with my mind. I charge nothing for my work and will freely offer the valuable data at the end of the study to forward development of...

Went to town today and passed by many farm wagons spreading manure on the fields; a usual spring activity. It struck me that an important element to grow the vegetables that will be harvested this year are due to this animal produced product. Vegetarians should not use any animal products.. right? If we think that this is a wasted byproduct, then in the future when the utopian vegetarian/vegan worldview is secure, where will manure come from? We will have to raise animals for their manure! Is that ok from a vegan philosophical position? ~DGR ~~~ "Auf dem Weg in die Stadt sah ich heute viele Farmfahrzeuge, die Jauche auf den Feldern verteilten; eine übliche Angelegenheit im Frühjahr. Mir kam dabei der Gedanke, dass ein von Tieren erzeugtes Produkt ein wichtiger Bestandteil der im Herbst geernteten Gemüseproduktion ist. Vegetarier sollten keine tierischen Produkte essen.. stimmt's? Wenn wir glauben, dies sei ein verschwendetes Nebenprodukt, wo wird dann in Zuku...

By removing a single living being from our scope of concern out of fear or hatred, we have abandoned both them and the awakened Mahayana by eating the dirty roots of suffering. This does not mean to condone bad behavior of others or refuse to correct others out of misguided compassion. Holding others dear is an internal attitude, which sees beyond appearances. This is dharma! ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ ""Wenn wir aus Angst oder Hass auch nur ein einziges Lebewesen aus dem Bereich unserer Fürsorge entfernen, haben wir sowohl das Lebewesen wie auch den Mahayanapfad aufgegeben, indem wir von den schmutzigen Wurzeln des Leidens gegessen haben. Dies bedeutet nicht, dass wir schlechtes Verhalten von anderen gutheißen sollten, oder aus falsch geleitetem Mitgefühl davon absehen sollten, sie zu korrigieren. Die Wertschätzung anderer ist eine innere Haltung, die über das Erscheinungsbild hinaussieht. Dies ist das Dharma! - Domo Geshe Rinpoche ---" The mechanics of...

Mental hygiene means being careful to what you expose yourself. ~DGR~~~ Thinking about others in general, without giving names or identities, will help toward understanding more about all sentient beings. ~DGR ~~~ A light meal in the evening makes it easier to meditate. However, good friends and great big meal are quite appropriate also! Today the wind is blowing from the south, but afterward, it will shift to another direction. May the winds of my mind be calm and steady, not always changing directions. May my efforts be stable and wisdom be my guide. May the mind of each living beings become steady as the great oak on a windless day, rooted deep while rising tall. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~ "Heute weht ein Südwind, aber später wird er sich in eine andere Richtung drehen. Mögen die Winde meines Geists ruhig und gleichmäßig sein und nicht ständig die Richtung wechseln. Mögen meine Anstrengungen beständig sein und die Weisheit mein Führer. Möge der Geist aller lebenden We...
