A million smiles presents The Dalai Lama in Buddhism and Happiness_smile # 10-13 of 1,000,000_

We all have the potential.
Dear brothers and sisters, indeed I am very happy.
I usually describe happiness in the sense of more satisfaction, happiness is not necessarily some pleasure experience, but neutral sort of experience, that can bring deep satisfaction.

I believe…peace of mind. That peace of mind also comes firstly from warm-heartedness, that I think reduce ill feeling towards others and also reduce distrust, I always open. I never consider myself as something special. If I consider myself as something different from you, like I am Buddhist, or even more, I am His Holiness The Dalai Lama or even if I consider I am Nobel Laureate then actually you create yourself as a prisoner. I forget these things, I simply consider I am one of the seven billion human beings. We are mentally, emotionally, intellectually we are same.

When in aeroplane, sometimes this gas problem comes, then you see, it is difficult to let out, so occasionally you see, look around, then you go like that.

The ultimate source of satisfaction [is] within ourself. If you do wrong things, mainly harming other, you get negative consequences. If you do helping other, bring more happiness to other, you get benefit. More inner strength there, and more sort of confidence of purpose of life, and fulfillment about that purpose, then you always feel happy. When we are young, very much alive these inner value, and we’re growing up, particularly in this society where [there is] not much talking about these values. Only talks when we read the newspaper or television sports or money, number of dollar…like that. And all the advertising, material values. No one telling, no one sort of explaining the importance of warm-heartedness. Early part of the twentieth century, later part of the twentieth century, much positive change took place. I think world, yes there is a lot of crisis, a lot of bad things, but also there is a lot of good things.

So, we are social animal, therefore friendship is very essential. [With] friendship comes trust, fear and trust go contradiction. More fear there, cannot develop trust. With fear, how can we develop friendship?

In a big city, a lot of people, but just think of one’s self, self centred attitude, and no idea of sense of love, and then, too much competitive sense, then jealousy, jealousy brings distrust, distrust brings frustration, so therefore and fear, then the lonely feeling automatically come. So, lonely feeling is not creation of environment, but creation of your own mental attitude. I think eventually we can develop a more deeper experience about our life. Make some kind of pledge, from now on I must make a new person, same body, but new person.

冤親債主顯現的十三種預示

當今世界,人們缺乏因果觀念,廣造惡業,廣泛地殺、吃動物,這些累生累世被害動物的怨靈,執著地附著在人們的身上,伺機報仇,不肯離去。由於這些怨 靈充滿仇恨,形成的磁場充滿了破壞力,在人體中造成障礙,形成了各種當今世界無法解決的病症,如癌症、白血病、高血壓、糖尿病等。由於世界范圍內廣泛的殺 業,導致了各種頑疾大量爆發,普遍存在,難以根除。 冤親債主的糾纏是陰陽皆苦的果報,他們被我們傷害吃殺後,附著在我們的身上,時時刻刻影響干擾我們,身體不好、運勢不好、事業不順、夫妻不和、子女乖違、精神抑郁、失眠焦慮、甚至於修行的諸多障礙,幾乎全部因為冤親債主得不到超拔而欲索債所引起。 【冤親債主討債的預兆和典型表現】 冤親債主的索債尋報,會在我們身內和報身環境周圍,呈現出哪些預警期的征兆呢?依據許多大德的觀察與總結進行綜合分析,這些前期的預警征兆,可歸納整理成十三個方面。將這些散在的征兆和經驗集約起來分析,非常值得每一個修行實踐者掌握和應用。我們歸納列舉如下: 1、惡夢驚心 由於冤親債主全是負態空間信息體,人在睡眠中最容易感知它們的活動,它們逼近受報者身心磁場的信息最容易在夢中接受到,因此受報者常會作各種惡夢。 這些夢境,如果懂得易理萬象,都不難分析出對應於受報者的哪些系統和原因。惡夢常是惡因正式釋放前最重要的預警信息,如果能夠高度重視,也就不容易錯機失 緣,並且將惡因化解於萌芽狀態之中。 2、善緣自斷 冤親債主在正式開始討報之前,為了方便討報,為了在討報過程中不受外界的干擾和阻止,常常會非常關注受報者周圍的各種善緣,想方設法阻止和切斷受報者一切可能的外援力量和關系。將受報者可能存在的、能夠幫助受報者化解惡因,渡過苦厄的一切“貴人”,全都加以隔斷和阻止。 這其中就包括受報者的親人、友人、同修、老師等等。阻斷師緣,破壞受報者與親人、友人以及同修之間原本存在的融洽關系,使受報者善緣皆失,孤掌難鳴,乖乖地引頸受報。 3、封閉福報 人是一手提罪一手攜福來到人世間。“消罪增福”就是人生應當恪守的生存原則。如果人們不惜福,消福無度,增業無忌。也就可能在福報未盡之前,惡報就 要提前釋放。在這種情況下,債主們有權封閉受報者還未曾花光的福報,阻斷福報的展開應用。在這種封閉福報措施展開以後,本來修行求佛很靈驗,有求必應,一 修就靈。可是此時卻再也不應,...

【筆記】

Now one example. When we feel certain sort of irritation, during that moment, if that person concentrate fully on the breathing, nothing else, breathing, one, two, three, like five, ten, fifteen twenty. When you start breathing, mental state irritated, but then after twenty, thirty, sort of breathing, your mental state will be little different, little more calm. Since we are dealing with emotions, so the best method to deal with that is through the so-called meditation. Not for next life. Not for heaven. but for day to day’s well-being. 送出留言
