When the snake chased you in the dream ..you are scared...because you don't know it's a dream. But when you realize that it's just a dream and you are not afraid even to hold the snake. This is the stage where you realize nothing is good nothing is evil. ...
I don't feel like the last question was answered directly at all. I relate the woman's example of war being right or wrong, and looking at other social injustices, such as racism, and think what does it mean to negate that whole "relative" experience of oppression in our reality? Is that not a choice as well, using the racial tensions amongst black folks and the police for example in the US (but also it's a global issue), to say that there is neither a right or wrong to have a habitual pattern of lynching predominantly black people, which has continuously proven to be a pattern that has existed since slavery? I know the answer is 'compassion' and 'love', and I get that this reality is a dream and ephemeral and stuff (I did vipassanna so I actually felt it, I'm not just talking intellectually here), but where does the 'contemplation' that you so speak of in other talks, come into play about racism in buddhist philosophy? I guess maybe it is about foregoing judgement altogether, and rather seeing that what they are doing (the oppressors) is toying in mass illusion, and to have compassion to all involved. The point would be to act to spread non-violence, and treatment of all with kindness, respect, and compassion, and not giving focus to the judgements. But I can't help but feel that the link is still missing in this whole stream of thought/justification. I think being critical is crucial, and buddhist ideology needs to face that question she asked more directly, not offer confusing allegories when people are being killed because of other people's habitual oppressive delusionary perspective about reality.
Answer shouldn't be directly , especially for the beginner and it is good with an example. I think emotions (such as sad, happy , anger , desire etc) is the main problem which we tried to get rid off. Because of these different emotions in we human being, the war and so on happen in this world. If we look at our world , the we are always go by morality, morality alone will not solve all the questions, we need wisdom. How can we understand wisdom? look at how we tibetan lama are teaching as per student. so my friend use Wisdom.
It is not because one sees a notion to be under a possible split into many elements with a possible inspection that it makes it the answer rinpoche would have given if the person would not be a "newer",no? what made you think that? Shahir Krishna writes: "I feel the link is missing". the feeling of the compounded, ignorant I can be the point. see the 4 seals. He forwards the same argument when he says "I did vipassanna so I actually felt it" 2 points here: 1"I did" and not "I do" which indicates practice done (past) came to a conclusion and 2 again in the field of the feelings. Have an open day. btw: gosh, what a beautiful teaching (in the relative sense :), but still! thank you to the persons that were there to ask these questions! and the one(s) who put this online!)
You understand it very well. These things you reference aren't real. Don't let them affect your mental states. Read Shantideva & 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva to remind yourself of the Path. I'm African American so I know the struggles. Buddhism also requires us to work for good and that work for good and excercise of leadership can be against HATE. Period. In all its isms.
Dear Friend, There is a difference between did Vipassana, Practice Vipassana every day, and seeing the reality beyond our limited senses and limited mind, those are three different things. Being Critical is good, being nice is good, but if we have to choose one most important thing, that would be "To Wake Up" from our current state of consciousness that we thought as the only reality (i think that's the point of his allegories ) and one more important thing is, what Rinpoche explains is very practical, its more in to Buddhist Practice than Buddhist Ideology or Philosophy, since Buddhism is not a belief system. If we put this understanding in to this context then there is no more argument about what is good and what is bad, what is wrong and what is right, the question would be "how is our daily practice ?" I hope it helps _/\_
I think this is one of the big misunderstandings about buddhism. From the ultimate wisdom point of view, everything is emptiness, so, non dual wisdom. Concepts like good and bad, right or wrong just don't make sense. But we live in a relative world, bond by relative concepts and rules. Even the Buddha himself live 45 years after his enlightment in this world, so he had to eat, sleep, poo, and even die. Also had to make choices. The difference is that the source of his actions were wisdom, and us is confusion. Buddhist enlightment don't paralize us as human beings or make us dysfunctional. Like Rinpoche said, nothing special. This is my humble understanding.
I would never forget the example Rinpoche gave us on Enlightenment. He compared enlightenment to onion peeling. We aim for enlightenment only to find it’s Nothingness. That is Buddhism to me. Tibetan word NalJol is equal to Hindu word Yoga ( union ). NalJol carry meaning like “ wealth of normality or mundane “. This is great teaching to me. Nothingness and wealth of ordinary things, nothing special. Therefore this steers us away from self projecting Dukka, sufferings.
In the context of being special connected with meditation, you are right. But in the context with being a special person then this is wrong. Because wen I make things of wood and all other woodworkers also. What makes me then special? And what if we all are enlighten t? Then this is very special to see all people as special enlightened.
I really have the highest regard for him !!!
Profound teaching 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was EXCELLENT!!! Long life, Rinpoche!

People are being killed because it's karma and there're causes for this to happen, believe it or not,it's a law(relative though).
