What is Noble, What is Not?

Introduction.

While this blog's author is thinking that bragging is not noble at all, he still strives for True & Spiritual Nobility on Buddha's Way.

i got inspired by Lama Ole Nydahl's words for trying that Way.

Harmlessness.

According to Buddhism, Harmlessness is Noble, Protecting is Noble, Gaining Merit is Noble, Killing is not, Stealing is not - i think.

It's better to Protect without violence, preventing conflicts instead.

Stealing from Enemies is not Noble as well, even if it's to share amongst ours, i think.

i still wish to share meaningfully, what i earn honestly.

Martial Arts.

Martial Arts can be noble, for they teach kids good manners, self-responsibility, strength & self-confidence so they do not need to prove anything by violence.

Yet still, Martial Artists can keep calm mind when faced with dangers, without fear, without doubts - this helps them to Truly Protect their loved ones, families, friends, allies & themselves, using minimum force approach as well.

Buddha Shakyamuni trained Martial Arts as well, when he was living as prince in the palace at his youth.

Noble Eightfold Path.

i think i read that Dana-Sila-Bhavana practice is a Noble Eightfold Path practice for lay people - not sure anymore, however.

Even if it's not the Noble Eightfold Path on Yogi's Diamond Way, it's at least a good start, i think.

i still wish to be on a True & Spiritual Noble Path on a Diamond Way Yogi's Path, for benefit of all.

Complete Noble Eightfold Path consists of:

Moral virtue (Sanskrit: śīla, Pāli: sīla).
3. Right speech.
4. Right action.
5. Right livelihood.

Concentration (Sanskrit and Pāli: samādhi).
6. Right effort.
7. Right mindfulness.
8. Right concentration.

Insight, wisdom (Sanskrit: prajñā, Pāli: paññā).
1.Right view.
2.Right intention.

Mantras.

OM MANI PEME HUNG
OM MANI PADME HUM
i wish all 'Tiger', Buddha has Heart*
KARMAPA CHENNO

Namaste, blessed be.

--
* Tiger refers to the Riding the Direct Experience on the Way for Enlightenment, to the Most Beautiful & Extreme parts of life on the Diamond Way, to the Dharma Spiritual work as well. it is also a tribute to a Lotus (Heart) & Sword (Tiger) Buddha families, the transformation of attachment & envy as well. it's also the tribute to the Love (Heart) & a Spiritual Martial Arts (Sword).

Relief statue of Bodhidharma at the Shaolin Temple.

In the 6th Century AD, Bodhidharma taught 3 different sets of qigong exercises to the monks at the Shaolin Temple:

1) The 18 Luohan Hands

The word Luohan comes from the Sanskrit word Arhat.

A figurative translation would be the 18 Techniques of the Enlightened Ones.

2) Sinew Metamorphosis
3) Bone Marrow Cleansing

These exercises were specifically designed to prepare the monks for the rigors of deep, Zen meditation. And they worked like a charm. The exercises transformed the monks physically, energetically, mentally, and spiritually. Over time, thanks to the success of these exercises, the Shaolin Temple became one of the most powerful spiritual centers in the history of the world.

Bodhidharma was born into Indian royalty in the 5th Century AD. After renouncing his royal life, he decided to travel to China in order to teach Buddhism.

Bodhidharma never taught Shaolin Kung Fu. He’s widely recognized as the 1st patriarch of Shaolin Kung Fu because the arts that he taught provided the foundation and the inspiration.

i wish to learn from his lessons as well, but not at all cost - as a part of non-sectarian approach of my Way & as a way for developing interrest in Martial Arts.

Years ago, when i've trained Karate Kyokushinkai i meditated at Zen Buddhism Center - ZBZ Bodhidharma.

This was before i took refuge in Lama Ole Nydahl, and while i don't want to break bond with Teacher - i wish to continue practicing with Zen Buddhists, as a form of Respect at least.

HH Buddha Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

While Nyingma School (Ancient Tradition) of Tibetan Buddhism has no single Spiritual Leader, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche represented Nyingma School before Tibetan Government in Exile while he lived.

Nyingma School has strong connection with Karma Kagyu School.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was a part of non-sectarian Rimé movement.

One of the Teachers of Lama Ole Nydahl.

i wish to learn from his lessons as well, but not at all cost - as a part of non-sectarian approach of my Way.

This film was advised for me to watch by Meike Herzog herself. i did watch, now i feel the need to support this film with my arts, to the best of my abilities.

Perhaps - for now at least - Beautiful Arts are more beneficial than Martial Arts.

On validity of 'accusations'.

This blog is based mostly on experiences of author, both internal and external - but also on buddhist and other lessons, as interpreted by blog's author.

Inner experiences are never a proof, when i share people's names - these should never be considered as a base for any accusations.

... still, i think these experiences, these lessons are beneficial far more than harmful - if not for current buddhists, then for those who will take a refuge in future.

Certainly, i am taking refuge in these lessons as well, i am not any exception.

... i'll qote a polish Poet:

--
Ignacy Krasicki - Monachomachia - Pieśń szósta (zakończenie).

'Prawdziwa cnota krytyk się nie boi,
Niechaj występek jęczy i boleje.
Winien odwołać, kto zmyśla zuchwale:
Przeczytaj - osądź. Nie pochwalisz - spalę'.

... być może spalę 'oskarżenia', a być może moje słowa 'poparzą' tych, którym brakuje współczucia i mądrości.

--
'True Virtue is not afraid of critics,
Let a misdeed moan and suffer.
Should revoke who lies so bold:
Read and judge - won't support? i'll burn.

... perhaps i'll burn 'accusations', or perhaps my words will 'burn' those who lack in compassion and wisdom.
