Temper

A Zen student came to Bankei and complained: “Master, I have an ungovernable temper. How can I cure it?”

“You have something very strange,” replied Bankei. “Let me see what you have.”

“Just now I cannot show it to you,” replied the other.

“When can you show it to me?” asked Bankei.

“It arises unexpectedly,” replied the student.

“Then,” concluded Bankei, “it must not be your own true nature. If it were, you could show it to me at any time. When you were born you did not have it, and your parents did not give it to you. Think that over.”

INDEPENDENCE DAYS #42

[harrisonarchive]

In Vrindavan, 1996.

“I saw [George] once carrying a huge luggage, so I told him, ‘George, let me help you.’ And he asked me why should I help him. And I said, ‘Well, because a big man must not carry such a huge luggage.’ George laughed, saying, ‘Ah, but I don’t see any big man here.’ And a few seconds later he added: ‘Everyone must carry his own luggage.’” - Prithu Prabhu, On The Roads of Dharma, 2013

For context, from a recent post:

“I am always a bit dubious about organizations and since the swami died it does seem to be chaotic, with all kinds of guys thinking they’re the gurus. To me, it’s not important to be a guru, it’s more important just to be, to learn humility.” - George Harrison (on ISKCON), The Sunday Tribune, October 18, 1987 “I lost touch with the Krishnas when Praphupada died, maybe ten years ago or something. I knew one or two of them, but I don’t really hang out with them any more. I used to go and see the old master, you know, A. C. Bhaktivedanta, quite a lot. He was real good.” - George Harrison, Toronto press conference, March 1988

Surya Talon Abraxas ‘Om Suryaye Namaha‘ – is the mantra dedicated to the Sun God – Surya. Also known as Suryadev, also known as Suryaya, is the major solar deity in the Hindu Dharma. He is also universally referred to as the Sun. According to the Vedas, he is one of 33 sons of Goddess Aditi; he is also known as Aditya.

Surya, the Sun, is the symbol of immense light and wisdom. Hence, he is one of the most revered Gods for Hindus. Also, Ravi and Bhanu are two commonly uttered names in Sanskrit for the Sun. However, Surya also has other different names in Sanskrit.

Suryadev - Lord Surya - Sun God

12 Popular Names of Suryadev in Hindu texts

According to Hindu texts, Lord Surya has 12 different names, which are as follow:

Mitraya – The friend of all Ravaya – Praised by All Suryaya – The Guide of all Bhanave – The Bestower of Beauty Khagaya – Simulator of Senses Pushne – The Nourisher of All Hiranyagarbhaya – The Creator Marichaya – The destroyer of diseases Adityaya – The Inspirer Savitre – The purifier Arkaya – The Radiant Bhaskaraya – The Illuminator

According to Vedic astrology, Surya is the prime member of the Navagraha (nine planets). It is the major source of life for all creatures. According to science, the whole bio-diversity is based on photosynthesis, which is only possible due to the existence of Surya (The Sun). Lord Surya is considered as the evident God as it could be seen every day with bare eyes. Although Suryadev rarely has a distinct temple of himself, small images and statues of the Sun God can be seen in many temples and other Gods.

Interestingly, Suryadev is worshipped as Lord Brahma during the day, Lord Shiva at noon, and Lord Vishnu in the evening. The Sun God is regarded as an aspect of Vishnu and Shiva by Vaishnavas and Shaivites. Thus, Lord Surya is known as Surya Narayana, and is also recognized as one of the eight types of Lord Mahadeva, named the Astamurti. He is believed to be the God of wisdom and the supreme Devata (God).

Furthermore, Lord Surya is the chief of solar Gods. He is believed to have arms and hairs of gold. Also, he is portrayed as a red man with 3 eyes and 4 arms, who is riding into a one-wheeled chariot pulled by 7 horses. It is very similar to the scientific representation of colors, also found in a rainbow or the ‘VIBGYOR’ spectrum. Plus, the most common symbolization of Surya is the Swastika.

In Jyotish Shastra or horoscope, Surya is the Lord of Leo Rashi (Zodiac). Also, in the zodiac, Sun holds the most famous place in the middle. Thus, Lord Surya stays one month in each Rashi and takes twelve months to complete a circle of twelve Rashis. He is the guardian of the east and blesses his followers with affluence, fame, and good health. Sunday is regarded as the ruling day of Lord Surya. On this day, people keep fasting and worship God Surya to attain longevity, prosperity, and well-being. It is believed that stones like red ruby, gold, and metal are the ones to please Lord Surya.

Festivals of Lord Surya

Various festivals are dedicated to Lord Surya. Below are some of the most celebrated festivals mentioned that are in the name of the Sun God.

Makar Sankranti, also known as Maghe Sanktanki, Maghi, is celebrated on the first day of Magh. It is one of the most popular and most widely celebrated festivals dedicated to Suryadev. It is believed that celebrating Maghe Sanktanki brings an end to the chilled winter weather, starting with better days with warm weather.

Chhath is yet another Hindu festival celebrated in Lord Surya’s name. It is celebrated on the sixth day after Deepawali. Chhath is an ancient festival dedicated to the Sun God for four days. It is said to have been started by Karna, the son of Surya. However, Chhath is also considered one of the most difficult festivals to carry on. Those doing the puja, mostly women, have to fast and go without food and water for long durations over these four days.

The significance of God Surya

Suryadev is one of the most popular deities in Hindu communities. Therefore, along with the famous Gayatri Mantra, Hindus chanted various other Surya mantras every day, offering water early morning in the east direction to the Sun, when it rises.

The Sun creates day and night, which is a vital source of energy to all living beings. Thus, Surya is considered the greatest of all the Gods by agricultural communities. Also, being the source of light and warmth, Lord Surya can control all seasons and the power to ripen the crops.

In conclusion, the symbol of Surya is considered as one of the positive signs. The Sun God has also played an imperative role as the Master Guru for many Gods and the number of devotees. As a result, Suryadev or the Sun is one of the most powerful and majestic gods of Hindu Dharma.

Understanding Emptiness in Fullness

"How to view all phenomena and how to view others."

In Buddhism, we say that everything is emptiness, but that emptiness is not the same as nothingness. When everything is empty, why isn't it nothing? Empty means that it's not truly existent, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. When we say that something is not truly existent, it just means that it is dependent upon something else to exist as it is. We think that everything, including ourselves, truly exists, but actually, nothing exists independently.

When you look up into the sky, sometimes you see a rainbow, but you do not always see it. The rainbow only appears based upon whether or not the conditions that allow the rainbow to appear are present. Those conditions are the proper light, humidity, water droplets, and the angle of the sun all being there in a certain way to form the rainbow. We think that seeing a rainbow is an auspicious event, but as a dharma practitioner, the real meaning of auspicious is the ability to see beyond that. It's when we can see that everything exists by its own conditional phenomena, by relying upon something else that allows it to become as it is, for as long as it can be.

What you can see is considered external phenomena, but what about the phenomena of self and others? When you look at others, what do you see? How do you perceive them? We usually cannot perceive anything. We can only understand things through learning. The eye is doing the seeing, but something else is telling the mind what you are seeing. Your eyes, your ears, your mind, and your experiences are all working together to give you this information. The mind on its own, working independently, cannot see, hear or smell, so cognition does not happen with only using one's sense of seeing something. Our experiences and knowledge also come into play. Seeing is not always believing, and hearing is not always the truth. Those are all perceptions of yourself or of others. There is nothing that is truly trustworthy in samsara.

The main thing we should do as practitioners is to observe the nature of the mind. You can check your mind, but how can you trust your mind? Your own mind is based upon your own perceptions and beliefs. Can we drop the hearing, drop seeing, drop smelling, tasting, and feeling and simply be a vast space?

The Buddha-nature mind is clear, and it is omnipresent, but we choose to focus on the small stuff. We should perceive externally with people and with phenomena and internally with ourselves / our own mind, every moment as it is.  Be there and live to enjoy every moment as it is.

Dharma in the morning.

A very good Sunday, good friends.

May every life be bright.

Stay cool and happy. Don't worry about misery.

Travel safe and healthy.

Under the sky, what should I fear of rain?

Born as a human, when the time comes, we must die.

Why are you holding on?

What is in this world is our own.

Buddha's friendship!!
