Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #167
from your Buddhism expert



I’m off to not one but two medical appointments
today. As inconvenient at that seems, it felt like
an utter impossibility a few days ago. That was when
I received two very confusing insurance letters that
appeared to be imitating Seinfeld’s soup nazi by
declaring “No doctors for you!”






I wasted no time, and promptly felt fear. Isn’t
amazing how diabolically efficient our brainstems
can be when it comes to those ancient drives to
fight, flee or faint?


Now, I know you are far too wise to ask, “gosh Lama
Jigme, did you really feel fear?” Yes, I know you
are far too insightful to ask that because I have
frequently written that who we are is NOT
determined by what we feel, BUT rather by what we do
with what we feel.


And of course that begs the question, “O.K. tough
guy, what did you do?” I’ll tell you what I did… but
first I’ll tell you what I did NOT do. I did NOT pour
my time and energy:
• into getting rid of the sensation of fear
• into getting rid of the fearful circumstances
• into increasing feelings of peace
• or manifesting the ideal situation.


Many years ago, during the early days of my Buddhist
training, I was the Manifestation Kid. I squandered
huge amounts of time and energy with that
foolishness. Luckily my patient teachers persisted
in reminding me that if I simply Aimed High, that if
I simply performed Buddha’s highest mental yogas after
choosing the highest motivations then all the
manifold details would work themselves out in the
most wonderful way.


How? How could we do that? Easy! Simply embrace:
• the power of Love
• and the wisdom of Letting-go.


“Blah, blah, blah; Lama Jigme! Those are nice words,
but how could I apply them?” you might ask.


Easy! First take away everyone’s fear using the
mental yoga on page 17 of “Quick Path to Happy
Peace.” Then explore the non-graspable nature of
both fear as well as the compassion that seeks to
save other’s from it’s sufferings by using the
“Essential Meditation” found on page 10.

Have some fun with it. First evaluate the strength
of your fear on a scale of 0 to 10. Then perform 6
repetitions of “Essential Taking” followed by 6
repetitions of “Essential Meditation.” Then repeat
the process:
#1 evaluate,
#2 take everyone’s painful fear and
#3 let go.

Perform the three step process again and again.
Until your fear finally evaluates as a zero. How
many minuets could that take: 30, 20, 10?


Then share it’s opposite experience, peace, with
everyone else. Again you’ll begin by evaluating how
much peace you feel on a scale of 0 to 10. Then I
recommend that you use the mental yoga found on page
25. After 6 repetitions of that go back to page 10
and perform 6 more repetitions of “Essential
Meditation.” And in a similar manner as before,
repeat the three step cycle of:
#1 evaluate,
#2 give everyone the peace you desire and
#3 let go.


That is exactly what I did, and it all worked out
even better then I could have imagined. What are
some of the reasons it could work for you too?


Your success with these three powerful yogas hinges
on your comfort and skill at mentally and silently
reciting the Mani-mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum.” That is
why “Mastering the Mani” is so important, that is why
I’ve made this course available as an audio CD, and
that is why I’m offering it for a reduced donation;
