Mahabodhi Mind Treasure 16

One should constantly back up from thinking’s dogma and allow instead the last thought to win. Expressing itself naturally, the just-as-it-is arises. As long as we believe even the tiniest bit of experience is not dependently arisen emptiness, the sufferings of existence elaborate as seemingly real. Then the causes for death are many and those of life few. Unprepared, all too soon we drown again, and swooning from the unbearable, again we awake unaware in another senseless round. So adopt acceptances today—abandoning and realizing—by coming clean in your life with an authentic Guru. Then practice the effortless as prescribed above. This is how the deathless state is won and how the Buddha’s Dharma rolls.

Vajra Diaries: Raw Feed 2

22/9 In regard to Trump’s comment America is the hottest country now: Hot, as in ‘Some Like It Hot,’ as in running from the mob/fascists/gestapos, only to be saved at sea by another 🤡, a queer Joey Brown. 👏👏👏 However, as Billy Wilder warned, “The optimists ended up in ovens and the pessimists in swimming pools…” 27/9 freetibetorg and 5 others Follow BREAKING: Yesterday [25/09/25], Tibet activists and members of the @TibetanCommunityBritain, staged a powerful protest at the opening of Cai Guo-Qiang's "Gunpowder and Abstraction" exhibition outside the White Cube Gallery, London. While his work is celebrated in London, in Tibet he desecrated sacred land - detonating thousands of Likes fireworks on a mountain at over 5,000m, near revered Himalayan peaks.

Vajra Teachings: OM, AH, HUNG Vajra Breathing

His Eminence Deshung Rinpoche, Kunga Tenpay Nyima, introduced Vajra Breathing by saying something like this: ‘I know you’re interested in the highest Tantric practices His Holiness will give you in India. But I can teach right now the best one. And it’s very simple.’ The year was 1980. ‘Vajra Breathing’ is how Sonam Tenzin, I believe, translated it. Rinpoche showed us the basic pranayama rounds of ‘three-threes,’ blowing stale air out through our nostrils, left, right, (and together) center. Then he demonstrated breathing in steadily through his nose, instructing us to visualize a white OM. Then he demonstrated retaining that breath, telling us to visualize a red AH. He finished by saying to breathe out measuredly, with a blue HUNG in mind, so as not to rustle even a hair in the nostrils. I don’t remember him saying to imagine our breath going out farther and farther, with each round, as I believe is taught in the Nong Sum. But I’m certain he stre...

Vajra Comment: The Ever Coming ‘Crisis’ And The ‘Unraveling’ That Truly Liberates Us

In Generations (1991), the archetypes are identified as Idealist, Reactive, Civic, and Adaptive. In The Fourth Turning (1997), the terminology shifted to Prophet, Nomad, Hero, and Artist. Steve Bannon’s high-profile promotion of The Fourth Turning brought renewed attention to the whole framework — especially around the topic of Crisis. Crisis, analysed from a reformist position far to the left of Bannon’s, Klein’s Shock Doctrine argument, stripped to its mechanism, is this: crisis — whether natural disaster, financial collapse, or war — creates a window of political unconsciousness in the affected population. People are disoriented, institutional memory is disrupted, normal democratic resistance is suspended. Into that window, prepared actors move with pre-written legislation, pre-positioned contracts, pre-selected beneficiaries. The crisis doesn’t have to be manufactured to be exploited — but manufacturing it is simply the logical refinement of the technique. Her examples: Pinochet’s ...
