Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea # 134
from your Buddhism expert


Happy Compassion-Thursday!

Yesterday I did not send out a lesson. Sorry about that my friend; I had my hands full preparing for the February release of my latest instructional CD.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the significance of Atisha’s famous scold, that taught Less is More.

Atisha was a 5th “Bhumi” {or 5th level} Bodhisattva on Buddha’s 10 level {or Bhumi} path to enlightenment. Getting there was not easy. Many smarter, men and woman worked real hard and accomplished far less. What set Atisha apart from the others? Resource management!

We live in a finite universe. We only have so much Time and only so much Energy! Performing the MANY practices of MANY Buddhas is a great way to squander the remaining time and energy we do have.

Let’s face it folks, foolishly dissipating our time and energy makes about as much sense as masturbating before making-love!

Atisha’s scold is quite generic. It raises many questions such as, “Hey Atisha! If I’m not to dilute my time and energy between the many practices of many Buddhas then would you please fess-up and tell me which practice of which Buddha I should work with?

Tomorrow we’ll explore how many centuries later the Tibetan monk Patrul Rinpoche answered that in a controversial and radical manner.
