I love people of #FAITH who commit to compassion,tolerance,wisdom, making the world better. People who jerk others around w/their ego? Nah.
I would not want to just take up space, and contribute nothing to the world community.
If I see simple kindness in a human heart I will joyfully accept that one as a student. As a friend and ally.
If I see a gossip, or someone who causes division in the spiritual community I will work to correct it. I believe in love
If I see a student of moderate accomplishment but has come a long way, they are a jewel to me.
If I see a student with tremendous potential but making no progress on the path I am saddened. I cannot help.
Many of my students have made much progress in this very life and have worked hard. I am so proud and joyful!
Then some find the path and lose it. Some spiral down quickly by abandoning the Guru and following confusion. How sad.
In Vajrayana it is possible to repair broken vows. It requires courage and effort. The ball is ALWAYS in your court.
May those having lost their way always find the Supreme Nirmanakaya! May dullness and fever fall away, clarity return!
May all sentient beings be Liberated in this very lifetime! OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG!
Your words give me such encouragement, Jetsunma. Now that I have found the path, and my Guru, may I never falter. Hold me, hold me, hold me with your compassion and unconquerable love.
om ah hung benzar guru pema siddhi hung!
What joy there is in seeing other uplifted! The comments above cover it all.
