A beautifully clear explanation of the view of interdependence and how we can apply this in everyday life. I also love the explanation of "wise selfishness" and, most importantly, how we can train this mind of ours. Thank you Sogyal Rinpoche!
Same thing; they are both risings of the mind-heart, brought about by your karmic storehouse and constantly rising/falling as you live your life. As we label them in the West, an idea is a thought, but a thought is not always an idea. An idea is usually a complete thought that can be acted upon. You can say "I have an idea about how to make cars faster.", but you might not say "I have an idea about a dream I once had where I was naked in front of a million people." People might misinterpret that into thinking you want to put your dream into action :) Dividing things up under different labels can be useful to work with difficult or nebulous concepts, but sometimes (certainly here in the West) we divide up things for no other reason than to satisfy some theory, or to sell something (often these are the same motivation). However, if you are able to label your thoughts and emotions, like "this is an idea about cars", or better "this is anger", you can then more clearly look at and work with those thoughts and emotions, but they all rise from the same source. The initial method for identifying thoughts, emotions - all the risings - is to be mindful. Watch the risings. Looking directly at these risings as they happen is a large part of mindfulness. Next, you must skillfully use this mindfulness, and the best way to do that is through meditation. The more you practice the simple Shamata meditation presented here so clearly by Sogyal Rinpoche, which is simply being mindful of your breath, at first for only 5-10 minutes per day, you will soon come to know your mind much better, and through that, you will be able to work with it a little more, and then this teaching and others will start to make more and more sense.
Try getting a date without outer wealth...fucking joke trying to apply any of this to real life in the USA....I hate my society I am forced to tolerate...

What is the difference between ideas and thoughts?
