The throbbing of the heart is there every time. There are thousands of thoughts, but always can't grasp the exact thing, and then quickly drown in the noise of the world... I think, life without true faith is probably like this.
Tibetan Buddhism is so broad and profound, the Red Sect, the Yellow Sect, the White Sect, the Flower Sect... the color alone is dazzling and confusing. In this country where belief is missing, how many people like me only know to go on a "pilgrimage", but don't know what is in that mysterious world?
At Labrang Monastery (a famous Buddhist academy), I met a handsome young lama, so I had a brief conversation: " Study
here?" "
Um"
"How long does it take?" With a few neat words, the "embarrassing chat" ends. If I say that after having been in touch with the lives of the lower-level lamas and Juemu many times before, I have somewhat mixed feelings and even sympathy for their ascetic practices. But at that moment, I vaguely knew that I should still have a real look up to their world. Just look at yourself. I watched the movie "Lust and Caution" (Lust, Caution/Samsara) again. It's not Ang Lee's. It's a "three-level banned film" about Tibetan Buddhism. Serious, touching the soul. Buddhism believes that desire is the source of suffering for all living beings, so eliminating desire is the way to become a Buddha. However, the red dust is rolling, life is so beautiful, and there are temptations everywhere, how to eliminate desire? How hard should that be? How do you know how fascinating and terrifying desire is without indulgence? If you haven't really owned it, how can you let it go? I think that Tibetan Buddhism does not blindly emphasize abstinence, so there are tantras and even double cultivation. Cultivation is not abstinence, but is caused by one's heart. Cultivation in desire will eventually realize the essence of desire, thus surpassing desire.
People in the mortal world, rolling and crawling in the seven emotions and six desires, appreciate the life that is more painful than happy, this is the practice of desire; the monks, who are alone in the lantern to seek the Buddhadharma, is it not a desire and obsession in itself, So still practice in desire. "As far as the eye can see, it is a place to learn Taoism and practice", as the saying goes.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, this is two paragraphs, eight characters. There is nothing after all, and nothing is born again, this is samsara. In the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, the last word is "Dao", and Taoism is natural, so it doesn't matter whether the form is empty or not, don't be too obsessed with it. Don't deliberately, don't pretend, just follow your heart and let nature take its course. This is the essence of practice. Sakya Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche said: "Desire is not our enemy, hypocrisy is".
How can a drop of water not dry up? let it flow into the sea. But what is the sea? I think that is the holy place in our hearts, it is the thought of constantly comprehending life in our practice, and it is the place where the soul can finally transcend and take refuge.
