What are the Keys to Karma?




Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea # 147
from your Buddhism expert



Bliss and Openness pt. 28
What are the Keys to Karma?


What is the essence of Tantra’s Development stage?
Yesterday we discussed that it was karma. Karma?
Yeah, cause and effect. I think the 2nd “Matrix”
movie focused a bit on causality. Could you remember
seeing it?

The great Buddhist saint, Patrul Rinpoche, taught
that the Compassion and Love of “Conventional
Bodhichitta” are the keys to karma. Typically there
are two things we want to do with Karma:
#1 we want to get rid of our Bad-karma,
#2 and we want to increase our Good-karma.

What is the most efficient, the most profound way
of purifying our Bad-karma? Compassion! Remember,
compassion is the choice, the will; to take-away
everyone’s sufferings and their causes. In pages
16-17 of Quick Path to Happy Peacethere are some
very powerful Semi-verbal meditations culminating in
a silent meditation that not only increases our
compassion and Heart-bliss, but also purifies everyone’s
sufferings and the Bad-karma that can cause them. Of
Course the easiest way to learn these meditations is
to make arrangements to receive
live, telephone-teachings; like many of my other
students have.

If the essence of Tantra’s Completion stage are the
yogas of insight, then how do we bring this
Heart-bliss of Compassion into wisdom’s path of
Letting-go?
We’ll explore that tomorrow.

P.S. Someone asked me yesterday if my instructional CD:
Harnessing the Power of the Bowing Prayer” has
anything to do with the Tibetan practice of
strenuously bowing. The Answer is “NO!” What it has
to do with is YOU and the dynamic, energetic
centeredness you could enjoy, when you follow my easy
instructions for as little as 90 seconds.
