If you are taking applicants, I would love to receive and dissect teachings at this level every day. I struggle to integrate the abhidharma with the more esoteric tibetan and dzogchen teachings. Thank you so much for this content all in one place, though understanding is only half of realization unfortunately :) Metta!
Hello friend I have a Google appointments booking form for people who want to have one-to-one conversations about the spiritual path. If you have something to discuss then follow this link. calendar.app.google/1sLFHVp7yXzyTQFy9
as always thank youuu♡ also i find the story of Avalokiteshvara so fascinating and it gives me so much hope and inspiration id like to learn more sometime♡
I love this story, Lama la! To me, it illustrates the clarity of his realization and aspiration, which led to the compassionate action to break himself into essentially limitless emanations to benefit limitless sentient beings. This story also illustrates the level to which we should all aspire. It's beautiful and brings about faith! May we all abandon self grasping! Thank you, Lama la. ❤
Thank you for answering a conundrum I have had for years. With the human population exploding, I wondered where all the new reincarnated souls were coming from. I thought maybe one soul can split into many! But we are limitless in number.
Shugden is a worldly spirit and not a Buddha, the two Karmapas made up for all I know, and the Chinese spend millions of dollars on social media to smear the Dalai Lama every year. Anyway I have more faith in the most influential spiritual leader of the modern era than I do in Twitter. TBH I such platform to be almost a total waste of time and quite toxic🙏🙏🙏
I can relate, unfortunately have no tips for you.. for me it just grew weaker and eventually went away alongside the normal process of growing up, getting older, somewhat more jaded, the imaginative faculties atrophying, you don't ponder such things much anymore. It's kinda sad, but has at least that one upside😆
Become Enlightened. Realize the emptiness of inherent existence of all things and phenomena. OR look at things this way: Eternity and infinity are concepts. Things are as they are without words. They are neither eternal or not eternal; neither infinite or not infinite. Reality has no words attached to it.
Yes, Derek study the truth of impermanence by this one loses one's grasping to infinity and also develops an appreciation for the teachings on emptiness🙏🙏🙏
can you kindly do a talk someday about the nazi's fascinations about the dalai lamas, Buddhism, and what they possibly were after regarding crazy stuff like inner worlds/different realms
My guess is a lot of it was projection and the rest was studying the aesthetics or twisting the principles for manipulation of the masses through propaganda. The Nazis love making fascism feel like religious ferver and ecstasy.
I think I have allready seen this, but today when I walked I wore my hairy beanie, a knitted headwear. So I could look at the street light on it's edge. Then I saw the quadruple rainbow fading into outward to gray, inwards to white. "This is not how they told me it looks like, I should not trust everything I am being told by these people"🤨 It was like seeing the HAIR LIGHT™💥(🎶buy my stuff yeaaa, gotta catch em all🎶). Anyways, I started thinking about my cat. That one must have reincarnated into at least a human realm. Because it was engaging in so many human activities, the animal world would not be natural for that soul.
@@ultimatemeaning Thank you so much 🙏❤️🤗 Much love from ♥️ to ❤️. Beautiful!! ✨🌟So much gratitude for the guidance here. This body mind never had a guru, and in this moment it's so needed. The body became so wobbly, a lot of conditioning is dissolving and dying, inner outer looses boundaries, visual field is trembling and flickering, the field is expanding and contracting, everything is like an invisible fluid and jumpy jello. 😁😳This body only sits in Zazen. It seems that everything is going by itself anyway. 🤣😂❤️🙏Deep gratitude master and love. 🙏❤️
I can understand the idea that people have a experience and think well that was it but I have found it to be a evolving experience as a life progresses on. To have the full package one has to go through many levels of experience over time. If you think of it as multiple dimensional levels one could understand the limits of the world yet how one doesn't live in just one but many. Stop trying to buy a ticket to mars at this level and take a free ride in another lol.
Yes, of course this is all true in terms of worldly progress, but there is a difference between the mundane and the transcendent. This is a very important point.🙏🙏🙏
One cannot say that all news is fake. And whereas it's a wonderful thing to give joy and to help, in order to be a real benefit one needs 1st to develop wisdom. That is how it is taught in the Buddha Dharma at least. 🙏🙏🙏
I'm not saying I don't think people should awaken but isn't saying that you are going to dedicate this life and all the rest to helping people awaken until all beings awaken, wouldn't that be a narrative? Spiritual people act like their doctrine is not ego. It might be better or refined but it is still ego. Maybe the purpose of creation is this constant move of conciousness from a finite view to an infanite view? And yes all that came from my spiritual ego. Anyone who claims that they have transcended ego has just transcended into a bigger spiritual asshole.
Appreciating the information
The winds of grace are always blowing but one needs to raise the sail
Amen 🙏
And if you haven’t learned how to sell, raising the sale can actually be quite a dangerous thing❤❤❤

I want to be a Bodhisattva when I grew up.
😂😂😂 funny, that wish alone makes you a nominal bodhisattva😂😂😂
Thank you for your time and wisdom!

Another interpretation is that Amitabha gave him many arms and heads in order to better be able to deal with the needs of sentient beings❤
You have a very calming presence I like your videos
Oh thank you so much, friend. I'm glad I could be of some help.♥♥♥

Yes it is beautiful and inspiring!
maya is the mental overlay those words ideas we take as reality itself

Thankyou Lama choga A spontaneous manifestation of infinite potentiality
❤❤❤
Thank you for the lesson, there is much to meditate on in this.

You got it, and it is something that often confuses people on the spiritual path🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Lama 🙏
Welcome my friend❤
Mind blown 😳
Quite literally😂😂😂
it is a dream, a very solid one
WE need dreams ! 🙏🙏🙏
So what do you think of Dorje Shugden? What do you think about 2 Karmapas? What do you think about the tongue thing?
Shugden is a worldly spirit and not a Buddha, the two Karmapas made up for all I know, and the Chinese spend millions of dollars on social media to smear the Dalai Lama every year. Anyway I have more faith in the most influential spiritual leader of the modern era than I do in Twitter. TBH I such platform to be almost a total waste of time and quite toxic🙏🙏🙏
I am not a Chinese spy. Your responses to my serious questions are not valid.
this ego is awake for a number of hours each day yet the remains of ego self is restisting the rest of it going
🙏🙏🙏
I happen to suffer from Apeirophobia, the fear of infinity and/or eternity, any advice?
Its normal, i think, in a sense. Doesnt have to be terryfying, but can be for many people... i mean its infinity, eternity...

I didn't realise Adolf Hitler was interested in Buddhism so I'd have to look into this before I could comment

Ive been known to chase fractals. They are difficult to catch.

Rainbows are wonderful🙏🙏🙏
Please could you mention the name of this sutra?
What is the name of the bodisattva you are referencing.
If I am not mistaken, it is Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvera, or in Chinese Guanyin! Hope you have a good day
@serena6684 I think it might be Ksitigarbha.
Chinese GuanYin. 🙏❤️
Chenresig (Tibetan) Avalokiteshvara (Sanskrit)

So the news is fake, should my life just be about giving joy and helping the planet

would it be possible to reach enlightenment if i have a girlfriend
Yes, many of the past masters had consorts, but with or without a girlfriend, it still isn't easy🙏🙏🙏

Beep bu bop

Yes, but narratives are not totally dropped until the eighth Bhumi, so the point is to have an altruistic narrative until you get there🙏🙏🙏
👍 thanks. I guess the divine doctors got a lot of Work to do.
Wonderful and crystal clear teaching, thank you Lama Choga!
