Transforming Suffering and Happiness - A Meditation - The Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche - Dzogchen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- This clear and direct teaching on developing equanimity and understanding relative and Ultimate truth was given by Dodrupchen Jikmé Tenpé Nyima, the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche (1865-1926). He was one of the most outstanding Tibetan masters of his time and the teacher of many great lamas, including Jamyang Khyentsé Chökyi Lodrö. He is held in the highest esteem by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who calls him “a great scholar and a remarkable yogi”. The writings of the Third Dodrupchen are one of the main sources used by His Holiness in his personal studies of Dzogchen, and he quotes him frequently in his teachings.

You know, ~35 years ago, when I was 21 and in the army in S Korea, it was a particularly hard winter 1987-88 back then I hated the cold and naturally would get cold easily.
as the winter came our 3-week field exercises were getting progressively more difficult, with more intense cold, higher elevations, less shelter, faulty-- then none at all-- heating equipment, night patrol, etc. I was meditating a lot back then, really obsessed with knowing who was looking out of my eyes. So one day I looked at the cold air, if you will, and I decided that I wasn't going to resist it anymore. And not only that, but I was going to love the cold.
From that thought, first I felt my desire to love the cold surge up, the feeling that i wanted to love the cold but didn't really. so I still felt very uncomfortable, shaking in my boots, literally, from the cold.
Next, I drew my will up and surged it up into my heart and connected with my mind focus. Here I felt love for the cold, but that love was tainted because it had a thorn secretly imbedded in it; it was the desire & hope that if i loved the cold, i could relax enough to stop resisting it and somehow that would ease my suffering. So I still shivered and secretly hated the shivering.
I was noticing I was on to something though. Meditation has been teaching me the benefits of attitude…. So i could see i needed to keep adjusting.
I remember feeling myself gather my will and with an absolute determination not to let the cold bother me at all, I went into my heart and took my mind home deep there in peace, and i focused on loving the cold no matter how much i shook from it, no matter what harm and pain it caused me. I had given up any hope and any desire of getting relief from the suffering of being cold. I loved the cold so much, for what it was, how it was, so that I swelled even with love for it.
suddenly, to my surprise, this warm liquid feeling moved throughout my body and filled me completely. I didn't feel cold at all. I remember feeling a bit invincible even (21 years old 😁).
over that winter and on during that tour I played with this until I felt I’d “mastered” the formula.
I couldn't love the cold in order to feel the inner warmth and as soon as i relished the liquid warmth filling my body or wavered otherwise from my absolute love, like by thinking to myself “look at me and what i can do!” - the physical warmth was gone.
I learned to apply that formula to other situations in life. But over time, as I had some years in my life of throwing myself into career & relationship ambition and enjoyed ample creature comforts I would run up against likes and dislikes, having wholly forgotten that formula to “bring my mind home” in it….
Thank you for sharing. Bless you.

What a treasure, a lamp lighting up hidden corners of this conceptual mind and illuminating the path. This Samsara so difficult and enmeshing to travel in. The way out is so much easier when using this lamp and compass. Thank you so much for highlighting and sharing this teaching 🙏🙏🙏.

Another beauty!
Overwhelming over all phenomena with bliss. Overwhelming gratitude for this incredibly valuable teaching dearest Samaneri. Or is it Jaya 🌸❤🌸
Either is fine, but "samaneri" is simply a title - it's designation means a 10 precept renunciate and the root of the word Samana is from the Pali meaning wanderer. Jayasara is my ordained Buddhist name so that's kind of like my first name.
@@SamaneriJayasara Thank you Jayasara 💕
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for these Precious Lion Yoga instructions ❤
So excellent. Thank you!
The fruit of thoughts is sorrow just as a apple seed gives rise to a apple tree and apples. To entertain thoughts is to give it water and fertilizers to germinate and go beyond a tree. This tree becomes our identity and once grown is not impossible but very very difficult to get rid of and thus we are stuck in the cycle of illusion to never experience and see beyond it. The mind is always empty, it’s the contents that plagues humanity. A dream is always illusory whether experienced with eyes closed or open.
Thank you 🙏🏻💕
Every day I am grateful for you dear Jaya
Thank you .
Deeply helpful,
Grateful- thank you
Reflecting on that, I realised that's really a traditional looked at suffering from bad dids and karmic consequences, from a very masculin approach...
As a therapist, I noticed that women often don't suffer from bad did they have done, but mainly suffer and suffered from did of their father,, mother, husband, lovers havevdone to them, such as abuses, rapes etc.. feeling even responsible and guilty for their husband abuses on their children, and carrying the memories of these did, while the fathers have since long forgotten these abuses because they never felt guilty of them, even fathers in so called spiritual paths....
Then the suffering comes mainly from their conditioning by education, in all the cultures, to feel responsible and guilty for the trauma they experienced towards themselves and worse to the violence and abuses to their kids not being able to stop them immediately. 😢
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough. -- Meister Eckhart
Thank you
This is a Gem, thank you for sharing
Also Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche wrote,,The Merit of Cleaning a Temple,, which cleans mind from obscurations in present life and benefits in future ones.
Hope Jayasara will devote one
vlog to read about those benefits. There is history of one arhat who entered Nirvana because of diligent cleaning temple and contemplating Buddha advice : ,, Temple clean,mind clean,, . The arhat was one among famous 16 Arhats, closest disciples of Buddha .
So cleaning temple can trigger Nirvana experience!:)
Something to thing about for Truth seekers. Thx.
🙏🏻
I would say it CAN sometimes in some instances help to worry about it if the quest is earnest because it also leads to the same point trying to let go of it would and may take about the same time (provided it’s done within ethics and earnestly to polish ethics), or idk!
🙏💙🌎🌈
Any more teaching from this Guru?
💐💐💐😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏
Brava
Thank you 🌹💖🌈🗝️☝🏾🔱

I have suffered more than I can bare. Wanting nothing for myself is the answer? Focusing on the happiness of others instead? I always do anyway and this is also why I suffer. If we are all one this makes no sense?
I don't think that _transfer_ of attention is the way to resolve suffering. Rather one should go into deep contemplation of one's own stream of awareness and try to identify the causative chain of fixations giving rise to the suffering: this kind of understanding I think is 99% of the battle. Once you have done this then the causes of suffering are defused, and then any decisions about your Earthly mission, such as which people or other life forms you help and how you help them, are a separate matter, not connected with escape from suffering...
@@beachcomberboz2902 Well said.

Great ! And now do Buddha, that old imposter
