Life

                         Life, too short for doing merit deeds.

Life is like a transient of lightning and the roaring of thunder of the summer monsoon. In the transient period of life, do the deeds that everybody around you cherish and satisfy with what you have done. Never do and think of doing demerits deeds which will hurt people of your community. The capacity in you should be utilized in making the society peace and calm to realize and experience the harmony of society.

The every second and every minutes of our life period is precious time. One who understands the meaning of life knows the value of time and happy with the short life. They pursue the valuable goal of their life within the given period of life with no complain of saying life is too short.

The golden platform (we as a human being) that we are given due to previous karma in this life should not let to go in vain. The purpose of life in short period of life should be done with our good possible ways. The main purpose, I have in life is to repay to parents of present, past and future with dedication and sympathy. I may not wrong to say what I have for my life as purpose is your purpose. Unlike other living being we have a platform and capability to listen and practice dharma with good intention. So , utilize the opportunity we as a human has. 

We, on the earth for purpose.(Death is certain but when and where it will occur is uncertain).

                                    We, on the earth for purpose.

The day when we were born is the day the world rejoices upon us. Our parents were extremely happy for us for being born in their hand. If world rejoices upon you coming on the world on the first day, you should be wise enough to let the world rejoices upon you at last day, when you are departing from this wonderful world permanently. Happiness parent when you were born should also be happy when you leave this world permanently.

The world rejoice on you when you were born because world knows, you can do many remarkable tasks that benefit the world, when you are on the earth. World expect more from you. The single man coming on world is expectation of new changes for the world. The longer you stay on world are more reliable changes that last for longer duration that the world expects.

On the other hand, your parents are always happy with you. They are happy owing to you becoming more capable day by day and year by year. Your excellence in your field all together makes your parents happier than ever. As world expects you to be more meaningful man on this world, the parents too has same expectation. In spite of you being more meaningful person on this world your parent want you to be a happier man on the earth. The way your parent expects signifies that they care you more than what they can do it for you. They care you because they want you to be successful person.

The purpose of we on the earth is to make a life meaningful. To realize the meaning of life, we should have patient in listening and following the merit footprint of experts and parents. The valuable advices from elders including your parents are the key to excel your life in making it meaningful. More important I consider in my life than above all as a believer of Buddha teaching is the way you believe and having faith in birth after death. One having believed in birth after death will feel guilty of doing untidy task in your life. Having trust on what experts of Buddha teaching state “every animals on world are once our parent” and doing merit task will realize your parents dream. The only source that we can repay our thanking parent is having faith in Buddha teaching. To let the all sentient being of six realms to be happy let us have faith and believe in dharma and practice it. 

Your dream of life should be pursuing but never forget that we are given a day that we should left this world. The wealth you gathered, beauty you may be, and popular you are will appears nothing to any one when one go to sleep permanently. The wealth has no capability of rescuing you by giving wealth to other and same with your fame. The only help we will have, only if we did our deed pure, have kind mind to everyone with justice and practice dharma when we are living on the world.  It’s always good if we can remember Guru Rinpoche once a day and recite ba zar gu ru (om a hung ba zar guru pad ma se de hung) 100 times.

Death is certain but when and where it will occur is uncertain.

Guru Rinpoche la na mo.

Tsa-Wa-Lam

My success is solely depending on what my Tsa-Wa-Lam has blessed me. I believe on my Tsa-Wa-Lam. Whatever I do for the day, I start with praying to my Tsa-Wa-Lam as soon as I get up. Before I go to bed at night I again pray to my Tsa-Wa-Lam. Infact Tsa-Wa-Lam is always with me. Wherever I go or wherever I stay, I assumed my Tsa-Wa-Lam is along with me, on forehead during day time and in the heart of me during night time. I should have discipline in doing whatever I do knowing that Tsa-Wa-Lam is always with me. To let my events to be successful I have to have faith on Tsa-Wa-Lam. Without good faith I can’t have the successful event. My Tsa-Wa-Lam is enlighten and I believe if I pray and have good faith on my Tsa-Wa-Lam , there is no worry that my event will unsuccessful.

Hope of success go along with kenchosum.

Hoping a success and sweating is not the solution for me. As I believe in what we called the previous karma. If we have a connection in previous life that what we are doing this life, then thing will be much organize one. Praying to Tsa- Wa- lam and kenchoksum along with hardship is what I believe to have a success. To proceed my duty, I first pray to kenchosum. To let my proceed task shouldn’t be struck on the way. I regret for wasting my life doing meaningless task. I will bring my mind home and at least train my mind to be stable. Just by praying to kenchosum is not a solution for way to success. It’s only the way that’s your plan have no struck on the way of pursuing what you are pursuing

Meditation is only source of purifying our mind and can hold mind in right place.

Don't ask me, when did you join monk and start practicing meditation. Its my way of life. Of course, I am man similar to you all but I do meditation with sincere mind. The mind placing on top of tip of pyramid is how I did my meditation. Remember, all the great and learned man did and is doing meditation for holding their mind in right place. So, I am practicing to follow what learned man does. Hope you are also doing or will be doing now.

The Mind and the body.

Mind and Body. The great people say that the mind is the commander (king) of body and the body is the servant of mind. In fact body always follows what mind decides. Universe knows that the mind is superior to body. So, frequently say think before you do something by most of the people. Losing of consciousness is absent of mind. A street mad man is an example of body with lose mind. He don’t have sense of human as there is no mind, the king to be control his deed that done by his body. He go where ever the legs steps. He has no destination to move. He eats whatever he picks up. He may stay without cloths. The mischievous behavior the mad man act is only because of his mind getting diverges somewhere. But where his mind diverges cannot explain as I am still on way of learning the difference between mind and body.

 I can’t differentiate between mind and body as Buddha did. Body is just another material you can find in this world. Look at the chair in your room, desk and all other stuff, trees, plants, and of course, other's bodies. Try to find the difference between them and your body. Your body is just another material but it is the one connected to your mind. Mind comes as a guest for short period. And the host is the body. They may get separated at any time, when mind losing from body. That difference is that the mind, soul, and spirit were created eternal but the body is only temporary. The body temporarily houses the soul. Mind is the one that we should give care and utilize in our best way.

On the other hand don’t forget that taking care of body after you hear that mind is superior to body. They sometime go in hand to hand and are interrelated. To understand more about the importance between mind and body one has to hear from great people and should have a sincere meditation.

The stability of mind determines the stability of man. Man with stable mind is enlightened. It is the mind that determines the life consequences. In the bottom line, if you really need your mind to be stable, one should have the Buddha mind and be the disciple of Buddha teaching. And be the true disciple of Buddha teaching.

Religion and Science.

Religion and science. “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind”. Analyzing the powerful sentences that has left by learned man “Albert Einstein”, I can say that science and religion is correlate and they should go in hand to hand to have stronger bond and make progress. Science has everything in the sense of practical, observation based on proof and everyone can see the outcome of what science has proof. They have outcome to show to people so that people do agree how science is powerful than religion if someone has conflict between science and religion but we don’t have to differentiate it. "The Goal of Science is understanding lawful relations among natural phenomena whereas Religion is a way of life within a larger framework of meaning." (Ian Barbour, "Religion and Science," pg. 204) " With the statement of relation between science and religion that is, “Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but both look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect." ( Physicist Freeman Dyson) Believe in above statement that spoke by great people who have given more time in analyzing before he say. In the end it may be mentioned that religion is a social phenomenon as well as personal and individual. On the other hand we would be wrong to say that science has made man irreligious or that it is an enemy of morality. Its matter of one’s thinking that makes religion and science a different. I believe that science and religion are the brotherhood to attend the progress of world. Due to my limited vocabulary I am not in position to bring you that science and religion are of no different.

 Man has a body as well as a spirit. Science is concerned only with the body; it can do nothing for the sprit. Science may provide man with physical comforts, but it is religion alone which can give him the courage to struggle against heavy odds. He may even face death itself, with a smiling face. It is religion and religion alone, which can bring the healing balm for his wondered spirit. In this alarming world the learned man especially in science filed have given their efficient support in making the religion more transparent. They have contributed in terms of financial and the words to the world of science to understand that religion is their brother. The conversion of Buddhist text (Kanjur and Tenjur) in English medium is one of the events we can appreciate that religion is going popular.

Fate that wait for me.

Fate dominates the way of life. I was born in society that has rich in orthodox and believe on superstition. I don’t have any comment of being grown up in that society, instead I am happy to know that I am brought up by informing all the concept of superstition. It’s not that society is believed in superstition but fate is what Buddhist society believes. I have trust on fate. The outcome of this life is the result of previous life as mention in Buddhists philosophy is what I believe. My society is enriched of Mahayana (Nyingma / Tersa) for past few decades.
 Today the scenario of village is image of sometime what we called heaven. Every subject is the believer of fate. Believe in life after dead. I am also among them to believe in fate. The overlooking mountain with wide valley contains the truth giver to guide the subject to next life. The right lower valley has the residence for monk of shedra (Buddhist College) and left valley has the residence for yogi (Nyeljorpa). The fate society made me to have fate on everything I processed.
 Now moving in line with fate of my life, I stand today in front of crowd with fate. Fates give me a privilege to love her and I do respect fate and love her with my full heart. I don’t want to see my favorite suffering in other hand. I hope favorite is always safe. In this transient life, I meet favorite due to fate but favorite is on other side of my heart. I hope I can one day fulfill the unrealistic dream. I pray and dream that favorite is mine forever.

Nyeljorpa (yogi) and Gelongs (monks)

Gelong?

                                                Life as an ordain.

It’s astonishing to be see the one who prefer their live as ordain. I wish I am what they are because they are really doing a merit task for every single minute. I know many of us blame about their deed when they commit mischievous deed which is really a minor. Never assume that they are perfect, as no one is perfect, so they do. Their commitment and endeavor toward attending the happiness of all sentient being in the world is what I actually appreciate from my bottom of heart and I do respect their deed. They understand, everything is illusory and temporary. Hence they say happiness in the world is temporary and ultimately illusory. In fact the happiness is the main cause in plunging in the ocean of anguish. Therefore what we could conclude is that impermanence and empty is the nature of all phenomenon.

Our way of life is opposite to their way of life. But one thing we have with us that we could do is way of thinking and deed. If we can at least avoid no good thought, it’s more than sufficient and that will almost equal to what we called merit thought. Now I pray, let the sun shine in every nook and corner of world and remove the darkness that has covered once hearts and souls.
