Komplette Erleuchtung vs. Verblendung des säkularen Buddhismus

Beim Anhören des neusten Guru Viking Podcasts fiel mir die Aussage Shinzen Youngs auf, dass er nicht glaubt, dass die Vollkommenheit, d.h. die Buddhaschaft, möglich ist. Seufz ... ein weiterer säkularer Buddhist, zu dem viele Leute aufschauen, der so unreif in seiner Verwirklichung ist, dass er direkt den Mahayana- und Vajrayana-Meistern widerspricht, von denen er behauptet, ein Befürworter zu sein. Stephen Batchelor, Culadasa Yates, Young ... alle singen das gleiche Lied. 2-3 Jahre vor seinem Tod gab Culadasa sogar zu, dass die Sutrayana Praxis "nicht weit genug geht", und das, nachdem er es 50 Jahre lang praktiziert hatte.

Es ist zwar (viel) besser als nichts, dass es da draußen Lehrer gibt, die ein oder wenige Erwachen hatten, aber im Vergleich zu jedem nicht-mehr-verkörperten (oder verkörperten) Mahasiddha sind all diese Lehrer unglaublich unreif. Dann ziehen sie in ihrer "Weisheit" aus " vielen Jahrzehnten" der Meditation mit all den "Top"-Lehrern, die selbst unreif waren, diese genialen Schlussfolgerungen ... Ich erinnere mich, dass Batchelor nach seinen 8 Jahren als Gelugpa-Gelehrter und Mönch erklärte, dass Guru-Yoga ein Schwindel sei! Es ist verblüffend dumm, wenn Leute, die nicht gelernt haben, richtig zu praktizieren, das Kind mit dem Bade ausschütten, und das einfach so. Auch deshalb ist tantrisches Guru Yoga so wertvoll, weil diese unsinnigen Schlussfolgerungen in der Gegenwart von jemandem, der wirklich "fertig" ist - einem Mahasiddha - ihr Ende finden.

Die Menschen sollten wirklich die korrekte Praxis des tantrischen Guru Yogas kennenlernen und echte Meister - Mahasiddhas - zu sich rufen. Buddha, Jesus, Guru Rinpoche, Milarepa usw., sie alle sind geeignet. Es ist die leichteste und einfachste Praxis, für die weder eine Ermächtigung noch irgendeine Art von Vorbereitung nötig ist, außer offen dafür zu sein, zu empfangen. Sie ist einfacher als Shamatha, schneller zu erlernen als Jhanas, macht das Lernen von langen Gebeten oder Mantras in fremden Sprachen unnötig, und am wichtigsten ist, dass die Anwesenheit eines Gurus unseren natürlichen Zustand bzw. unsere Buddhanatur offenbart, jedes Mal und ohne Ausnahme, was Jhanas oder Shamatha-Meditation niemals erreichen können. Dies ist das Geschenk des Tantra, das jede und jeder immer und überall nutzen und empfangen kann. Außerdem ist dies auch ein Weg, um über die unreifen Stadien hinauszukommen, in denen Menschen, die nicht mit Mahasiddhas Zeit verbringen, stecken bleiben. Dies ist ein Weg, die Messlatte des Dharma in der Welt höher zu legen.

Die Menschen müssen wissen, dass es in der Tat möglich ist, "fertig" zu werden, vollständig purifiziert, völlig sündlos, restlos erleuchtet, ein lebender Buddha zu werden, genau wie es Generationen von Mahayana- und Vajrayana-Meistern gesagt haben!

~ Kim Rinpoche, 30.10.21

Hello friends! We are back with another addition of favorites, and we’ve got some good stuff!

Podcasts

It has been a dark time without sports, and I have particularly missed baseball, but Off Air with Joe & Orel has helped fill the void. If you are a Dodger fan who has both missed the boys in blue and is excited they are finally coming back this week, this is the podcast for you!

Also, a big goal of mine for this year has been to get to know myself and find a better foundation in my values, beliefs, opinions, etc. To do that, I have made an effort to better educate myself on the different stories, perspectives and opinions of others. Over the last couple months, there has been a surge of resources, both in the news, on social media, and among friends and family and 1619 was definitely a standout. It is a well made, very thought provoking podcast that follows the start of slavery after the first ship carrying African slaves landed in Virginia in the year 1619.

Books

While I don’t always have the patience for suspenseful books (because I just want to know what happens NOW) The Woman in the Window was worth the read and especially worth the wait. It follows Anna, a psychologist who is currently unemployed and living alone due to a mysterious onset of agoraphobia. I listened to the audiobook and I definitely had a few moments where I stopped dead in my tracks and gasped out loud.

Speaking of reasons to gasp, I am now listening to a book about dead bodies. Stiff is a book I started a while back and LOVED but never got the chance to finish. It is a very scientific read, but also finds a way to be quite funny as you learn about the lives (?) and history of cadavers, as well as the decomposition process as a whole. I will admit, it is not a book for everyone, but I think it’s absolutely fascinating.

TV Shows

Depending on what you’re in the mood for, I’d first and foremost recommend Dark, which is a sci-fi show on Netflix that I’d love to explain and summarize for you but it is one of those shows that you just have to watch to understand. I was hooked after one episode and was constantly sending my brother (who recommended it to me) texts loaded with caps lock and explanation points as I watched the story unfold. Note: it is in German, but you can choose to watch it with subtitles or dubbed in English. Personally, I preferred the subtitles because I liked being able to hear the actors’ real voices. (You can find it on Netflix.)

Next, Normal People. Based on the book by Sally Rooney, this show follows the story of Connell and Marianne, who fall in love in high school, but have a lot of growing up to do before they can find truly find their way to each other. It is beautiful and sad and a little frustrating at times, but so so good. Plus, I love any show that takes me to Ireland. (You can find it on Hulu.)

On the lighthearted, funny, and undeniably witty side: Never Have I Ever. I was pretty much sold on this show the minute I saw Mindy Kaling’s name on it, and it did not disappoint. The episodes are short and charming and often made me laugh out loud, I look forward to (and hope for!) another season. (You can find it on Netflix.)

And finally, my biggest commitment of the last couple months: The Last Kingdom. This was another recommendation by my brother, who has slowly become my Netflix guru. I was unsure at first if I could get into a show about Vikings in the middle ages, but by season three I was calling my brother, complaining that one of the characters didn’t even get to “die a warrior’s death.” So. It’s safe to say, I got into it. (You can find it on Netflix.)

Music

I have mostly been in the mood for some slow, calming music these last couple months, but I have also had bursts of wanting to dance around to some fun, summery goodness. That being said, these are some albums that have given me both.

Lady Like by Ingrid Andress

Go Somewhere by John Splithoff

Patrick Droney by Patrick Droney

Golden Hour by Kygo

Aveda Shampoo

I have long been at war with my hair and I had reached a point where I thought it was as good/clean/healthy/etc. as it was going to get, but this shampoo from Aveda has changed the game for me! It popped up as a recommendation for me after looking for shampoos that can help with the ever fun combination of a dry scalp and oily roots and it has truly made all the difference! Pro tip: wash your hair twice. (You can find it here.)

The Daily Page Planner

If you are someone who 1) loves being organized and 2) often has trouble staying organized, this planner is for you. It was recommended to me by someone I follow on Instagram and it is truly a treat. It helps you track your goals for the day, your water intake, your meal planning, and pretty much anything else you just want to write down and get out of your head. I like to sit down each morning and do it as I eat my breakfast, and even if I don’t get to check every box throughout the day, it is a great resource to better organize the jumbled mess that is my mind. (You can find it here.)

Tangle Newsletter

This is perhaps one of my favorites of my favorites because it is something that I have been looking for for a very long time. I have subscribed and then unsubscribed to a number of e-newsletters, constantly discouraged by the one sided nature of the content or overwhelmed by my lack of understanding of the content. While I want to stay informed and aware of where I stand on important issues, I find it hard to form a valid opinion when someone is essentially telling me that if I don’t agree with every aspect of their opinion I am a terrible person. Thus, I bring you Tangle, a bipartisan newsletter that gives a good roundup of important facts and figures, and then focuses in on one important issue each day and breaks down the opposing arguments. I am currently subscribed to the free newsletter, which sends you an email every Monday-Thursday, but there is more content available with a paid subscription. (You can find it here.)

Have anything you’ve been loving over these last couple months? Let me know!

Redskins vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Preseason Recap

The Washington Redskins were victorious 13 to 10 in a defensive struggle. None of the starters of either team played. The game actually was the last chance for most “two’s and three’s” to win a roster spot and/or catch the interest of other teams. Many talented, young football players will be looking for a new team to sign them after being cut from their current teams. All NFL teams must be down to their 53-player roster before 4:00 pm tomorrow, Saturday, September 2nd.

Third string quarterback Nate Sudfeld showed he has improved and has a grip on Head Coach Jay Gruden’s system. He did a good job and probably saved himself from being cut. A poor game might have meant he would be cut to make room for another player they would like to keep. The Redskins might have gone with two quarterbacks and have Terrelle Pryor as an emergency quarterback. In the game, Nate Sudfeld completed 22 of 33 pass attempts for 228 yards and smartly threw the ball away at times, with no interceptions. Sudfeld moved the team down the field and put the Redskins in position for three field goal attempts. Dustin Hopkins made good on two of three, missing one field goal. It was his only miss of the preseason.

Of course, there were drive killing penalties, but Sudfeld’s passing was accurate for the most part. He spread the ball around to 11 different receivers. The top receivers were Matt Hazel who caught 4 passes for 60 yards, James Quick also caught 4 passes for 45 yards, Maurice Harris caught 3 passes for 43 yards and Jamari Staples caught 2 passes for 30 yards. Maurice Harris fielded punts very well. He has a good chance of making the roster.

Important statistics are the Redskins won the time of possession and had more yards rushing and passing than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Redskins had an almost 53% 3rd down completion rate with Nate Sudfeld at quarterback.

The offensive line did a good job. Offensive line guru Bill Callahan seemed to give all linemen some playing time, Tyler Catalina was very impressive in pass protection and run blocking. I hope the Redskins keep 10 offensive linemen, but will probably keep 9. The Redskins need the depth that rookies Chase Roullier and Tyler Catalina can provide.

In less than 2 days, the Washington Redskins will cut down to the 53-player roster. With Jordan Reed and Niles Paul both having an injury history, the Redskins will probably keep four tight ends. I believe they will be Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis, Niles Paul and Jeremy Sprinkle. They will probably keep four running backs, so I see Robert Kelley, Samaje Perine, Chris Thompson and Mack Brown making the roster. We will soon see the 53-player roster for 2017, the practice squad and injured reserve.

To be victorious in our opener versus the Philadelphia Eagles, our offense must have their timing down between Josh Doctson and Terrelle Pryor. I am confident quarterback Kirk Cousins is already on target with both tight ends Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis as well as Jamison Crowder. The aggressive and pressure defense of Greg Manusky will be ready. Expect more balance between run and pass plays this season in the game planning since Bill Callahan has more input in the game planning. The next game counts and it is an NFC East division game. It is time for Head Coach Jay Gruden to finally win a season home opener at FedEx Field.
