Kalon Tripa Inauguration - Dharamsala, India - 8 August 2011

Que beleza ver o atemporal e o temporal de mãos dadas, apoio mútuo. Quando penso nos nossos prefeitos envolvidos até o gargalo com crimes de roubo do dinheiro de todos os cidadãos.. Claro que existe corrupção no governo Tibetano em exílio, em ongs, etc. Mas o ponto não é ser ou não ser perfeito, 8 ou 80, mas realista, focar e viver seus princípios e valores. Será que isso causa alguma consequência no nosso entorno e em nossas próprias vidas?

(pt) "Toda expansão é vida, toda contração é morte. Todo amor é expansão, todo egoísmo é contração. O amor, portanto, é a única lei da vida. O que ama vive, o que é egoísta está moribundo. Portanto, amai pela causa do amor, pois o amor é a única lei da vida."

(en) "All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction.
Love is therefore the only law of life.
He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying.
Therefore love for love's sake,
because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live."

Swami Vivekananda

'They told me that in Tibet when they were chosen to be Togdens and taken up to the caves the were so excited because they felt that now they were going to become yogis. But for the first three years they were instructed to do nothing but watch their mind and practice Bodhicitta, the altruistic mind. They did that and nothing else for three years! They said it was it those three years that their minds tranformed. After that, all the many practices they did were just building up on that foundation. One time one of them said to me: "You think we yogis are doing some very high, fantastic, esoteric practice and if only you had the teachings you also could really take off! Let me tell you, however, that there is nothing I am doing that you have not been taught. The only difference is that I am doing it and you aren't,"' she recalled.
