Buddha’s Lost Secrets:
Tips on Meditation & the Spiritual path #204
from your Buddhism expert
There is only so much time and energy. These
limitations force us to choose between scholastic
accomplishment and spiritual attainment.
Many Americans who study Zen put more effort into trying to become Japanese, then they do trying to attain enlightenment.
But wait, there’s more!
The same absurdity occurs when Americans studying:
• Ch’an,
• Tantra or
• Theravada…
indulge in the silly distraction of getting lost in the cultures of:
• China,
• Tibet,
• India and
• Thailand.
It is NOT my Job to…
master:
• linguistics,
• culture,
• trivia or
• politics.
My job is simple.
Your job is simple.
Buddha’s job was simple.
May I give you two things?
May I give you a Fact and a Secret?
FACT: Buddha was born for two purposes;
#1 to accomplish full enlightenment in one
lifetime and...
#2 to take away the world’s sufferings.
Are you ready for the Secret?
That is also why you were born, and that is also why
I was born, and quite honestly, that is what the
meaning of life is all about!
So let’s free ourselves from the time-wasting and
energy-squandering distractions that threaten to
drain us like Dracula in a Bela Lugosi film.
And instead, let’s set our sights upon, the two most
worthy goals of accomplishing enlightenment for
ourselves and others.
If you were to schedule and pay for an audience with
the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet; and you asked him what
the meaning of life was, what would his answer be?
There is a good chance he would say, “the meaning of
life can be found in…
Completing the two collections for
the two purposes” ? ? ?
At that point:
• your eyes could glaze over,
• your jaw could hang slack and
• a line of drool could actually descend from
the corner of your mouth.
And of course at that sight, the Dalai Lama
could, good naturedly, point and laugh.
The “…two collections for the two purposes…”;
What could that Mean?
SIMPLE! The two purposes are:
#1 to accomplish full enlightenment in this
life and...
#2 to then, turn around, and help everyone
else do likewise; without ever
abandoning our:
• children,
• partners,
• jobs or
• homes.
The two collections are:
• the collection of transcendental Insight and
• the collection of Good-karma.
The two purposes are our destinations and the
two collections fuel us on Buddha’s path.
One of the most effective ways to further your
progress on Buddha’s path to enlightenment to is
to practice the “Treasure of the Dalai Lamas” for
3 minuets every morning and 44 seconds every
evening. That way you’ll understand the essence of
Buddha’s teachings, so you can have a hook to
hang your hat on, so it could be much easier to
feel safe on enlightenment’s path, so you could
free up your time and energy for that which is
truly important… greater: peace, love, bliss and
transformation, so reserve your copy now

I have been recommending a book called "My Stroke of Insight - a Brain Scientist's Personal Journey" by Jill Bolte Taylor and also a TEDTalk Dr. Taylor gave on the TED dot com site. And you don't have to take my word for it - Dr. Taylor was named Time Magazine 100 Most Influential People, the New York Times wrote about her and her book is a NYTimes Bestseller), and Oprah did not 4 interviews with her.
