Filsafat Budha

Joy and anger, sorrow and happiness, worries and regrets, indecisionand fears, come upon us by turns, with everchanging moods, like musicfrom the hollows, or like mushrooms from damp.Day and night they alternate within us, but we cannot tell whence theyspring.Alas! Alas! Could we for a moment lay our finger upon their very Cause?Chuang Tzu



Things: Disturbing ThoughtsThere are no disturbing things;just disturbing thoughts about things.Courage to face the disturbing in usgives us courage to face the so-called disturbing out there.~shian



Rigpa Glimpse of the DayThe preliminary training of meditation practice and purification ripens and opens the student’s heart and mind to the direct understanding of the truth. Then, in the powerful moment of introduction, the master can direct his realization of the nature of mind—what we call the master’s “wisdom mind”—into the mind of the now authentically receptive student. The master is doing nothing less than introducing the student to what the Buddha actually is, awakening the student to the living presence of enlightenment within. In that experience, the Buddha, the nature of mind, and the master’s wisdom mind are all fused into, and revealed as, one. The student then recognizes, in a blaze of gratitude, beyond any shadow of doubt, that there is not, has never been, and could not ever be any separation: between student and master, between the master’s wisdom mind and the nature of the student’s mind.



One Who IdlesOne who idles from day to day is a consumer of life.One who is active and useful is a creator of life.~ Master Cheng Yen
