Chris' Testimonial

.



Chris recently wrote this testimonial…

Dear Lama Jigme,

I love your CDs! I haven’t come across anything that
has helped me on my spiritual path as much as your
teachings have. Finally, I have found teaching that
are relevant to me and easy to understand. It has
been a blessing receiving your teachings on CD. At
this point in my life I cannot afford the telephone
sessions. I just want you to know that your are
doing an amazing thing.

Your e-mails are great. Humor with serious spiritual
insight; it’s a perfect mixture! It would be great to
join a 5 day retreat. I live in northern California,
so maybe I’ll be able to make it down for one.

Your teachings have made my job easier. Well
not the job itself, but how to deal with it. I am a
direct support professional who works in a supportive
living home for three adults with mental
disabilities. They are all combative. Which makes my
life very difficult on certain days. In the middle of
aggressive behaviors I take deep breaths and look
through the eyes of compassion. I try to relieve
their suffering as fast as I can so I can relieve
mine! It’s nice how my job is a way of practicing
your teachings… it was hard at first not to take the
aggressive behaviors personally but now it beads off,
like water on plastic.

Thank you for your help with human kind. You
are a great benefit to many! Blessings.

Sincerely,
Chris

Diana's Death

.



Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #182
from your Buddhism expert



Today I read that Coroner Lord Justice Scott Baker
ruled that Princess Diana was unlawfully killed.
Well that’s a big, fat “No duh!”





Princess Diana, her boyfriend, and their driver felt
obliged to recklessly flee a pack of aggressive
paparazzi… and who wouldn’t?


Ideally our energy should be centered, like the
pendulum of a grandfather clock, at rest. But that
isn’t often the case, is it?


Have you ever encountered someone who’s energy was
tilting too far forward, and who physically leaned
too far forward as if they were a predator ready to
attack? Could you imagine what that could look like
or even feel like?


There is something profoundly predatory, ruthless,
selfish and utterly UN-concerned about the
happiness and wellbeing of others in the behavior of
many paparazzi. What could have been some of the
times in your life that you could have encountered
similarly aggressive and disrespectful individuals.
The knee-jerk reaction to such foolishness can be
faster than thought and quicker reason.


There is an instinctive reaction to that type of
“forward” tilting energy. What is it? To draw back,
to pull back, step back and even seek to flee, as if
our energy was now tilting “backward.”


Could that have been the mechanism behind the flight
of Princess Diana, her sweet heart, and their driver?


I don’t want to live a life of perpetual reaction,
how about you? I don’t want to lead an existence
where I am constantly at the mercy of my brainstem’s
fight or flight instincts, how about you? That is why
this month’s special
instructional CD will take you by the hand and
teach you:
• easy,
• quick and
• fool-proof
methods to ensure you’ll rapidly master the secrets
of breathing meditation in a manner that will
multiply your sense of calmness and consequential
resourcefulness.

F-22 Raptor

.



Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #166
from your Buddhism expert



As a boy, I can not help but be interested when
they make announcements about the latest fighter
jets.






Yes, they are expensive instruments of death, but
deep down, the voice of my inner little boy coos
“but it’s so cool!” And ya know, I don’t think that’s
a coincidence, do you? Take the name for example,
the “F-22 Raptor!” Hey, I’ve seen “Jurassic Park,”
I remember what those monsters were like, don’t you?
You know, you hear a name like “F-22 Raptor” and
you think, “man, it’s gonna tear the enemy apart!”


Of course that name is going to appeal to the
innocent, playful, aggression of our inner little boy,
that is what it was designed to do. Yep, there is
power in the name. After all, how many jets could
they have sold if they were named the “P 2 ½ Shy
Kitten?”





“Hey there Maverick, what are you going to do?”

“I” fix’en to take to the skys in my F-22
Raptor, find the enemy, and tear’em a new one!”

“Go get’em Mav!”


“How about you, Steven, what are you going
to do?”

“I think I might climb into my P 2 ½ Shy
Kitten, prance about from cloud to cloud and see if
I can’t find the enemy.”

“What are you going to do when you find him?”

“Oooh, I’m going to give him such a stare!”

“Well, you go do that Steven.”


Labels can have a profound expect on our
expectations, can’t they. How could this consistently
observable phenomena have an effect on our
spiritual practice?


When meditators choose to “battle” their insecurities
rather then “work with” those insecurities; is it
any wonder we can feel beleaguered? When yogis
choose to “wrestle” with distraction rather than
“work with” the play of spontaneous creativity;
how difficult could it be to really feel peaceful
and at ease in the present moment? When
contemplatives choose to “collect” their mantras
rather than “play” with the Six-syllables; could you
see how feelings of joy and freedom could become
scarce?


That’s right, my friend:
• words effect attitudes
• and attitudes effect experience.
Wisely select your words and could skillfully sculpt
your experience.


I don’t want to squander the precious opportunity that
is this life with attitudes that can produce the
sufferings of feeling needlessly beleaguered, stressed
out and that my spiritual path has become repellent,
drudgery; how about you?

I want more from my spiritual life. I want challenges
that are fun, rather than embattled, I want to be
playful rather then combative, and experience a
consistent joy, freedom, peace and feeling of ease.

So let’s use the mental yogas found in “Quick Path
to Happy Peace” in the most effective manner. Next
month let’s learn how to gently work with awareness
in a manner that generates feelings of peace and being
at ease. Later this year let’s learn how to bring
insecurities into the three paths of liberation,
in a manner that effortlessly and effectively
increases our experience of:
- the serenity of concentration,
- the wisdom of letting go
- and the power of compassion.


What is key to making that happen? What could be
instrumental in assuring success in these worthy
endeavors? Ground work!

Every spring the baseball professionals show up at
training camp to work on basics. Every summer
American football players train for the up coming
season by drilling the basics.


How could you prepare for this year’s life-changing
lessons? By exercising the humility to train in the
fundamentals of the Six-syllable, Mani-mantra.


When you receive my course “Mastering the Mani”
• you’ll learn the translation of Om Mani
Padme Hum and it’s significance
• you’ll receive the pronunciation drills that
increase skill and comfort
• you’ll receive the tantric blessings that
enhance the mantra’s effectiveness by an order of
magnitude
• and you’ll receive the practical instructions
to bring the Mani comfortably into your practice of
meditation.


Om Mani Padme Hum,
Lama Jigme Gyatso
Tibetan-Buddhist: Monk, Teacher, Healer and Tantrika

and more content? Then easily learn the profound
significance and skillful use of “Om Mani Padme Hum”

Love minus Respect

.




Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #158
from your Buddhism expert



Love minus Respect



Here is a simple equation :

“Love minus Respect equals Abuse”


Love is a word who’s meaning is often forgotten. It
is always a mistake to confuse love with:
• affection,
• sentimentality,
• lust,
• possessiveness
• or familiarity.


Remember, love and compassion are two sides of the
same coin. While love desires to lavish it’s object
with every blessing, compassion longs to take-away
it’s object’s sufferings and their causes.


If another feels sentimental or affectionate towards
us, but is not terribly concerned with our happiness
and well-being; although that may be many things,
it is not love.


Could you imagine what it could be like to have a
friend or relative who simply did not treat you with
respect? What could it be like to have a companion,
maybe even a lover, who was cruel, pushy or
demeaning? That individual may be familiar,
possessive or even lust after us but that is not
love.


Love is a choice, love is a decision, and love is a
habit. You can’t make someone love you, no matter
how much you love them. And kids, “leading by
example” will only take you so far.


Let’s talk about manifesting… you know when you say
to the universe, “Hey, this is what I desire!” Few
people know, that once we’ve made our desire known,
the cosmos often whispers back, “O.K., now tell me
what you’ll settle for.”

My friend, there is only ONE correct answer to that
question: “I’ll settle for exactly what I desire,
and nothing less!”


Yes, it can take nerves of steel to stare down our
own:
• fear,
• insecurities,
• low self esteem,
• and even the universe’s metaphysical desire
to conserve energy. But friends, let me tell you,
once we develop the habit of politely yet firmly
saying “NO thank you” to anything that is not in our
best interest, things will change.


Whether we see, feel, or understand it or not,
someone, something, everyone and everything is
always watching what we’ll settle for. When we make
it abundantly clear what we won’t settle for, we’ll
notice a change in that which we habitually manifest.


In conclusion: do your friends, lovers and
companions respect:
• you,
• your wishes,
• needs
• and feelings?

If not, gently but firmly express your
dissatisfaction. But what should you do if that is
to no avail? Then find new, friends, lovers and
companions. You have nothing to lose, but your
suffering!

Lama Jigme Gyatso
