Tibetan Buddhism What you will learn today : Difference between needs and purpose: finding your purpose in life it's ok contrary to what we think if Buddha had no purpose they will not be able to realise his mind. No stupid compassion: Trungpa rinpoche use to teach that compassion is strong recognising boundaries between individuals yet being able to help those in difficulties. Being selfless doesn't mean you do anything: being selfless reflects on the integration of emptiness into our...

What you gonna learn today Meaning of Dharma Difference between religion and dharma Why do Buddhists reduce Buddha teaching to something pathetic --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/enlightenverse/message

Through Bodhichitta you will realize that there is no self. Self-grasping will be destroyed, for when you think of others you do not think about yourself. Ultimately 'self' and 'other' are but thoughts. When we understand that we are not separate from others, we begin to fathom the preciousness of compassion, of Bodhichitta. Garchen RinpocheTags: Buddhism, Vajrayana Taking a spiritual path isn’t easy and when our faith is in question we gonna be hit by doubt. Doubt is part of our path and...

From the Gungthang province of Western Tibet, close to Nepal, Milarepa (1052-1135) had a hard childhood and a dark youth. He was only seven when his father died. Relatives had taken over his father’s property and mistreated the bereaved family. His mother, bitter, sent Milarepa to train in black magic, to wreak revenge on those who had blighted her life. She was given her wish – Milarepa proved adept at the practices he was taught, and unleashed a tide of destruction, killing many. ---...

Sanskrit term bodhicitta (mind of awakening) refers to the state of mind of a bodhisattva, who pursues buddhahood in order to benefit others. There are two primary aspects: (1) a conventional aspect of a bodhisattva who aspires to buddhahood; and (2) an ultimate aspect, which is actualized when the nature of mind of a bodhisattva awakens. The conventional aspect also has two levels: (1) aspirational (praṇidhāna) bodhicitta, in which the bodhisattva takes a vow to attain buddhahood for the...

I trained my spirit in the method. Milarepa We are in a very challenging time whatever way we look nothing is certain, nothing is written on the wall. Whatever we are in the Buddha teaching path, we need to look at the modern world and understand that avoiding our world is also basically avoiding our inner maras. We all love going to the gompa, having a teaching but real teaching start when we are head to head with a co-worker or someone in our family....

Having meditated on gentleness and compassion, I have forgotten the difference between myself and others.“ — Milarepa When we speak of non-duality what others views call oneness we talk about the highest state of selfless. When we understand love compassion gain wisdom by letting go of our ego grasping we realise the state of one the same. The difficulty for us ordinary people is that we see subject and object, me you, this that and we got lost on everyday experience thinking that is real....

Many Dharma practitioners rely on Dharma protectors when they seek protection from fear. Dharma protectors, however, play various roles in different aspects of Buddhism. To understand these, we need to explore the benefits that protector practices can provide us for our daily lives. Let’s look at what it actually means to feel protected and safe, and then we can take a look at some of the methods suggested by the different protection practices in Buddhism. Mainly, we need to look at the...

When talking about the Guru, we must distinguish between the external form and the Guru in our heart: "The illustrative guru, who is the external form of the guru, illustrates through his teachings the actual guru, which is the luminosity within your own heart. The guru's instructions awaken the ultimate guru within." In this statement, the outer guru called "the illustrative guru," the one who has realized the nature of mind (Buddha nature) and shows this nature to you so that you can then...

Like sesame oil ~ Tilopa Sesame oil is the essence. Although the ignorant know that it is in the sesame seed, they do not understand the way of cause, effect and becoming, and therefore are not able to extract the essence, the sesame oil. Although innate coemergent wisdom abides in the heart of all beings, if it is not shown by the guru, it cannot be realized. Just like sesame oil that remains in the seed, it does not appear. One removes the husk by beating the sesame, and the sesame oil,...

The first empowerment is called the “vase empowerment,” which points out that the nature of our five aggregates (Skt. skandhas) is actually the five buddha families. There are five aspects of the vase empowerment: the vase empowerment of Akshobhya, the crown empowerment of Ratnasambhava, the vajra empowerment of Amitabha, the bell empowerment of Amoghasiddhi, and the name empowerment of Vairochana. Through these five stages of the vase empowerment, we recognize the five aggregates as being...

So in this second stage, the practitioners actually submit themselves to conditions such as rage or desire that would normally evoke disturbing consequences. In the first stage of completely virtuous behavior, beginners avoid these situations, but in the vanquishing stage, meditators actually seek them out. The meditators have to destroy their arrogance, pride, and hatred by throwing themselves into situations that evoke a response that allows them to work with these emotions. The third stage...

Don’t recall. Let go of what has passed. Don’t imagine. Let go of what may come. Don’t think. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t examine. Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t control. Don’t try to make anything happen. Rest. Relax, right now, and rest. Tilopa --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/enlightenverse/message

Tilopa was born in eastern India in 988. When Tilopa was a young boy, he had the special qualities of being extremely compassionate, kind, and loving. He was a cowherd and played in the forest without a care. At that time, the great Nagarjuna was out walking in the vicinity.11 He had the special insight that in this region there was someone who was an ideal vessel to receive the Vajrayana teachings. Pondering this, he proceeded to the place between the town and the river where Tilopa was...

Tilopa, known as Prajna Bhadra, was born in the town of Chativavo (Chittagong, which is now in Banladesh), into the Brahmin caste. His birthplace is also recorded to be Jagora (in eastern Bengal, India?). His father was Pranyasha and mother, Kashi. When he grew up he learned all the doctrinal treatises of Brahminism. While he was wandering in various places asking for alms, he finally came to a temple and, seeing that the monks lived a life of renunciation, he entered the monastic life and...

But what we've got going wrong is we've got a kind of bifurcation [in cultural development]: You take your classified telephone directory, and open up "Churches", and have a ruler in your hand. And you will find that the longest space is occupied by authoritarian, Bible-banging churches. And these people are barbarians, who take the written word of the Bible literally. Because they need terribly, they have a personal need, for something to depend on. ... The government realizes that there is...
