I hope you all will forgive me if I am not on top of my game. Recently I have had a lot of hate and lies thrown at me. I am hurting, which should make them happy and gleeful, drunk with it. My old nemesis is now making the balls and his new friend ryderjaphy is throwing them. That is an old Italian saying BTW. :).
Evidently there are many who wish to do away with Tulkus entirely. (Yet they follow them) I cannot see the logic here. I cannot understand the addiction to war. War is THE ENEMY of humankind. It never solves problems, just causes pain and inflames the mind, so it gets more and more sick. Then the body fails. Can’t we see that? The sender and the receiver both suffer according to their awareness of the 3 doors.
Some delight in war and hate and feel puffed up by it. War and hate are killers. Lies are the messenger. I have great pity for those who hate; I know the truth of cause and effect. I have done so many Pho’was and see the bardo experience if the various different types. Samaya breakers and haters of Dharma as it is handed teacher to student is the most hideous bardo of all. As is claiming enlightenment where there is none.
These days everyone thinks they are as enlightened as Guru Padmasambava, or Lord Buddha. So they just change the laws and supports to suit their own taste. This is heinous, as we are taught. Only the truly realized write Dharma and make judgment calls from the wisdom mind. Like HH Dalai Lama, Kyabje HHPenor Rinpoche, Kyabje HH Dudjom Rinpoche, Kyabje HH Karmapa.
The ordinary jamoke with little accomplishment is free to think and have different opinions, but are NOT qualified to make crazy proclamations.
Just as Guru Padmasambava brought Dharma to Tibet, then Milarepa, and Tsonkapa added their wisdom- that IS Vajrayana – if changed you are making up your own religion. Fine by me – but there will be no result.
In any case those who wish to practice as tradition suggests, with Guru Yoga should not be molested as they do. We are Americans and we are a Democracy. Do your thing if it doesn’t cause suffering. For the ones who wish to practice purely, exactly as taught, step by step and humble- LEAVE US ALONE. We follow our Gurus and keep samaya; we dig out our poisons.
This is our pure and precious Path of Dharma. We want what our Lamas suffered bled and died for, walked over the Himilayas for. The METHOD to AWAKEN!
It is our right. It is our remedy, we dedicate our lives to its preservation and are willing to die trying. So demons do your worst.
WE ARE DHARMA IN THE WEST AND WE ARE HERE TO STAY! EH MA HO!
Oh yessss
OH Yessss. Harken all to this teaching!
Perfect!
