About.
1. Most important Aspiration for me - for as many lives as possible - is Enlightened Love with a Buddhist woman i met & meditated with at a Buddhist Centre. i know which.
As the way for the full Enlightenment.
i wish to be Lama as soon as possible, as well.
Everything else is optional, just ideas to consider.
2. My second aspiration is 'Art & Dharma Teachings' Project - an union of Sciences (mostly of Secure Computer Sciences) & Arts (mostly of Virtual Reality films & interactions).
i wish to secure Lama Ole Nydahl's Transmission that way - by keeping it safely in datastores, by serving it securely to those ready & willing to learn.
3. My thrid ambition is Sciences - Computer Sciences & IT Security, Mathematics, Physics, Electronics, Chemistry, Biology, Nanotechnology & Psychology.
This leads to Artificial Intelligence Guided Nanite Swarms, to Matter - Energy Form, that can manifest Space's Free Play & Buddha Statues pseudomaterialization in Space, surrounded by Lights.
i do not wish to create 'artificial life', with Mind or not.
i think this technology is potentially dangerous, but in Lama Ole Nydahl's or Buddha Karmapa's hands it's secure.
It's not first time that war-tools rest in Buddha's hands - Kalachakra teachings also have lessons of constructing weapons, Shaolin teaches combat methods as well. At least we'll be well-aware of possible dangers & ready to counter them better than without this knowledge.
'Ola AH' Programming Language creation is a part of this Project.
4. My fourth ambition is Arts - including Enlightening Martial Arts, including 'Art of Magick & Light', including other ways of Expression.
This has uses in 'Art & Dharma Teachings' Project.
5. My fifth ambition is Psychology & Psychotherapy.
i've enlisted on a course to be a psychotherapist.
i think it's great karma increase by helping others who are mentally ill.
i think it's a little step of transforming my own weakness into a strength, into a way of helping others who are ill as i am. i know very much about mental illness, i experience it every day, and with a proper course i'll enhance this wisdom into a tool for benefit of all.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.

Is Lama Ole's Diamond Way a Sectarian Way?
About.
i think it doesn't have to be.
i've met following accusations:
Accusation 1: That we tell that our Way is differing from Buddhism.
Answer 1: i do not think that's true, never heard nor met anything that would confirm this accusation.
Accusation 2: We tell that Lama Ole's Diamond Way is Superior to other schools.
Answer 2: i do not think in terms of superior & inferior schools. i know there are differencies in methods, that there's Modest Way - leading to Liberation, Great Way - Leading to Enlightenment and Diamond Way - super fast Way leading to Enlightenment, a part of Great Way. People with bad karma are not denied the Way. i could meditate, i think progress is hard but then those who purify worse karma Shine as Great Diamonds, are Heroes. It's not about barrier for 'Inferior Development', it's more about 'Lack of Motivation' barrier of those who do not wish to involve themselves so much. Diamond Way is super fast thanks to Guru Rinpoche's lessons, the Guru Yoga. Diamond Way is present in other Schools than Lama Ole's Diamond Way as well. Fast development has it's price - trust & identification with Lama. Not everyone is willing to accept that way, i respect other schools. Wisdom & Compassion are very important for me, these are methods of Great Way & Diamond Way - but please do not deny us praising merits of Diamond Way, even if You choose to not follow it.
Accusation 3: Lama Ole's Diamond Way is a Sect who berates & insults other schools as worse.
Answer 3: As above, i only tell benefits & price of really fast development, while respecting other schools. Shamar Rinpoche's lessons are of non-sectarian nature as well. Shamar Rinpoche is the most important student of Buddha Karmapa, the very important part of Lama Ole's Diamond Way. Sect is a division, separation & a movement of religious protest. i read Hannah Nydahl's lesson that we can avoid sectarian accusations by taking refuge in Lesson, instead of Teacher.
... after participating in these arguments, i've contacted a Bhutanese Monk from Ogyen Trinley Dorje's School, with words:
'hello, how i can be of less sectarian divisions between our schools? how can i help & learn? Thanks for Your time & effort.'
later i added:
'i can take Refuge in Lessons but not in Teachers'.
it was this Monk's merit however, for reaching for me first - he clearly wishes to abolish such obstacles as well.
i think that even rivalring Buddhist Schools can try to come to terms, to learn & benefit each others.
... how this will evolve, we shall see.
What is a Sect?
i think a sect is a group of religious protest, a group that separates.
for more, see if You wish: About Sects, Sects, Understanding Fear of Sects.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.

Helping Parents.
About.
i read it's a Buddhist attitude to be grateful to parents for giving us life & caring for.
most of parents care as much as they are able to, with rare exceptions.
i think in rare cases it's very difficult to help parents while retaining mental health, otherwise one should be helping them.
i think it's a sign of a great person who cares for his or her parents.
My situation.
in Poland, or at least in circles i was in, caring for parents was seen as a disgrace among youth.
we were taught to grow independent, to quickly find professional job.
when i had severe depression & wasn't able to work, my friend Nerialka told me that it's nice of me that i help my mother.
... this was inspiring, i wish to share that attitude with others, to respect those who care for their parents even if they are not working for money on their own.
i am in difficult situation in this regard, my mother was caring for me too much, and had too strong opinions - and since about a year - is no longer alive. Had insights she reincarnated as an Catholic Angel.
my father is mentally ill, i have bad memories about him from my youth - now helping him too much has bad effect on my sanity. i can't help myself & him very much after a while, being in a miserable situation myself. i have no psychological surplus when i am with him.
i've enlisted myself for a course and should be working as a psychotherapist assistant since january 2018, instead; this might sound strange, but i was able to help others where i failed my parents - for i have no bad memories, no attachment, no aversion for most of people.
... but caring for parents is also a work ... and in my opinion - people who do that, certainly deserve my deepest respect.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,

Helping Hungry Ghosts.
A rite.
... recently performed a Magickal-Dharmic Rite of initiating contact with a hungry ghost to help him, with a wish to help as many hungry ghosts as possible in shortest time as possible - but not at all cost.
A dream.
Tonight had a dream about jealous hungry ghosts.
They are so jealous that it's comical;
Had insight that's because i was protected by Shamar Rinpoche's compassion who protected me so it was that way - comical, not tragic.
My mind was calm during a dream, i didn't laugh at them.
At least i can help hungry ghosts, as my mind interacts with them - it's very good news for me, it seems my rite worked.
Understanding & Gratitude.
Finally understood Lama Ole's Wisdom words that it's not to be angry, but compassionate - because they spend all the time with themselves, while i spend with them only a fraction of that time.
i think helping Hungry Ghosts is the great karmic potential increase, as it's defeating jealousy that way. i already felt many of my mental obstacles falling away that way, as well.
Namaste and Thank You to Shamar Rinpoche & Lama Ole Nydahl for their Wisdom & Compassion.
Wishes.

May all of denizens of hell be free from their suffering & reach Buddha Amithaba Realm, as soon as possible.
May all of animals be free from their suffering & reach Buddha Amithaba Realm, as soon as possible.

Lama's Blessings, Protection & Methods Transmission.
Introduction.
In Buddhism Lama (Teacher) joins Blessing, Methods & Protection.
Lama is very important on the Diamond Way, without Lama there's no progress on Diamond Way.
Diamond Way (Vajrayana) is very fast Way, it's part of Great Way (Mahayana).
Vajrayana builds on wisdom & compassion, central ideas of Great Way.
i heard that Diamond Way allows one to reach Enlightenment in only one lifetime.
Insights.
i got insights, perhaps they are true, perhaps not.
i got insights that Lama Protects us on the inner & secret levels, by interacting with our stream of consciousness, so bad karma we experience is not too much at once - so it won't harm us too much, including by detracting us from a Buddhist Way. Bad karma we experience is purified as soon as we experience it. I heard in a Buddhist Lecture that it's optimal to briefly experience bad karma, then as soon as possible to let it go, allow it to dissipate & pass. There's no point in dwelling in bad impressions, nothing good comes from it.
i got insight that Lama Blesses us by showing us Right View (it's pure view, optimistic view), so we experience world in a more beautiful & meaningful way, perhaps there's more than only Right View.
i got insight that Lama Transmits Methods in form of Insights of Wisdom of how to interpret one's own way's lessons, perhaps there's more than that. i read that Buddhism has many lessons & ways, different lessons & ways for different people - everyone can choose his or her own. i think self-arising wisdom & insights are well-suited to everyone's own way.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.
i wish all interrested beings, including me, are able to understand Buddhist literature's deepest meanings.
i wish all interrested beings, including me, are able to translate Buddha's words between languages correctly, clearly, beautifully, in an inspiring way.
i wish all beings develop speech - spoken & written, as well as alternative forms as art's images or other forms - so it's clear, correct, easy to understand, inspiring & beautiful.

Siddhi.
Siddhi.
Siddhi - accomplishments, or literally 'real accomplishments'.
The temporary and ultimate results that are attained through spiritual practice.
They are divided into:
Ordinary or Common Siddhis and the Supreme or Uncommon Siddhi, which is Enlightenment itself.
Supreme accomplishment is the attainment of buddhahood.
Common or ordinary accomplishments are the miraculous powers acquired in the course of spiritual training. The attainment of these powers, which are similar in kind to those acquired by the practitioners of some non-Buddhist traditions, are not regarded as ends in themselves. When they arise, however, they are taken as signs of progress on the path and are employed for the benefit of the teachings and disciples.
Eight ordinary accomplishments.
The eight ordinary accomplishments or siddhis are,
The siddhi of celestial realm is the ability to dwell in celestial realms while still alive.
The siddhi of the sword is the ability to overcome any hostile army.
The siddhi of the pill is the ability to become invisible by blessing pills and holding them in your hand;
With the siddhi of fleet-footedness, by wearing boots you have blessed, you can walk around a lake in an instant;
With the vase siddhi you can create a vessel that makes anything you put inside it, food or money for example, inexhaustible.
The siddhi of yaksha is the power to make yakshas your servants. They then follow your orders and accomplish the work of a million people in a single night.
The siddhi of the elixir gives you a lifespan as long as the sun and the moon, the strength of an elephant, the beauty of a lotus, and makes you feel as light as cotton wool whenever you get up from your seat.
With the siddhi of the balm of magic sight - you can see things beneath the earth, such as treasures and so on when you apply balm to your eyes.
Ten powers.
Ten powers - part of the twenty-one sets of immaculate qualities.
Power over life means that they can choose to relinquish their life, or, if they choose to remain, live for as long as they wish, even for an infinite number of aeons. This is mainly the result of having been generous.
Power over mind means that they have mastery over states of meditation and so on at will. This is the result of meditative concentration.
Power over material things means they can materialize the riches of the gods, human beings or bodhisattvas, just as they wish. This is the result of perfecting generosity.
Power over action means they have the power to do whatever must be done or whatever they wish.
Power over birth means they have the power to manifest a variety of births according to their wishes, in whichever place, or in whichever form, or however they choose. These last two powers are mainly the result of discipline.
Power over aspirations means they have the power to fulfil their disciples' aspirations. This is the result of patiently acting in accordance with disciples' wishes on the path of training.
Power over prayer means they can perfectly fulfil whatever prayers are made. This is the result of diligence.
Power over miracles means they have the unimpeded power to display whatever miracles they choose. This is the result of meditative concentration.
Power over wisdom means they possess the great wisdom which knows, without attachment or hindrance, all that can be known throughout the past, present and future.
Power over Dharma means they have the unimpeded power to teach, according to the wishes of disciples, all the forms of the Dharma of transmission included within the twelve branches of the excellent teaching. These last two powers are the result of wisdom.
Six supercognitions.
The six supercognitions or the six 'superknowledges', which are included among the twenty-one sets of immaculate qualities, are:
The supercognition of the divine eye, which is a perception of all forms—subtle and gross, near or far—and an ability to see the births and deaths of beings; it arises due to the power of samadhi meditation on the support of a subtle eye faculty belonging to the realms of form;
The supercognition of the divine ear, which is the ability to hear all sounds and languages spoken, whether nearby or at a great distance; it too is based on the ear faculty of someone in the higher realms;
The supercognition of knowing the minds of others, which is an ability to know the minds of other beings that comes about through samadhi;
The supercognition of one’s own and others’ past lives, which is the knowledge of where births occurred in the past, and whatever pleasant or unpleasant experiences were undergone;
The supercognition that is the ability to perform miracles, which allows the display of various miracles, such as turning many things into one, or multiplying one thing so that it becomes many, radiating light, or blazing with fire and spouting jets of water;
The supercognition of the exhaustion of the defilements.

Skeptics taking Refuge?
Introduction.
After meditating for a while, i've gained access to insights - thoughts appearing in mind.
Thanks to insights i learned a lot - not only about Buddhism (self-arising wisdom?), but also about Computer Sciences, Arts & other life's aspects.
Often however, the insights are mixed with mental illness symptoms - false, confusing & misleading thoughts & feelings.
Sometimes it's hard to discern what is true, what's insight from what's false, what's a symptom.
Skeptics taking Refuge?
Just before now i got insight that a known to me skeptic spoke in mind:
'i take Refuge in Lama Ole Nydahl, if i can'.
Then got insights that Lama Ole Nydahl gave her refuge on the inner & secret levels, extended blessings, methods & protection.
Apparently she craved for the Secret Buddhist Lessons, for Tantric Powers of Siddhi - for which, the connection with the Teacher is the key. Probably idea of having access to Practices of Tantrix Love & Tantric Sex was enticing as well.
She spoke Guru Rinpoche Mantra (OM AH HUNG BENZA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG) then took Refuge in Lama Ole Nydahl.
Soon after that she converted to Catholic Christianity again, praying to St. Anthony (patron of lost souls & patron lost things as well) to protect her from going too far into Buddhism, for she wants to go into heaven - in her opinion heaven is eternal.
Is it?
After death we will know.
Apparently in her opinion God created Buddha (Buddhist lessons deny this), and Buddhism is for the people, especially that it's a good way, full of good deeds & altruism.
She wanted to learn 'supernatural powers' from good people.
Is it all the truth or just my ego's play?
Perhaps it is, i don't know.
Even if it didn't happen in reality, i share this route so others of Catholic Church & other Religions/World Views might consider following it.
But returning to a 'skeptic activity in my mind' - either way i'll consider her a friend, a part of Sangha on the inner level.
She's Catholic & a Buddhist since that moment, as is possible by Buddha Karmapa's words.
i think taking Refuge by Catholics is an act of open-mindedness, of tolerance & of acceptance.
i won't reveal her name for her protection.
Then a while after got insight that another Catholic friend took Refuge in Lama Ole Nydahl & spoke Guru Rinpoche Mantra in mind as well.
Then she prayed to St. Anthony & converted to Catholic Christianity again as well.
Everything the same applies to her as well.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.

Guru Rinpoche.
Guru Rinpoche.
Introduction & Word Meanings.
i read that there's no Diamond Way without Teacher (Tibetan: Lama; Sanskrit: Guru).
Aside from 'Teacher', word 'Lama' means 'Highest Wisdom', i heard.
Aside from 'Teacher', word 'Guru' means 'Heavy with Precious Qualities', i heard.
'Rinpoche' means 'Precious One'; The word is used as a way of showing respect when addressing those recognized as reincarnated, older, respected, notable, learned and/or an accomplished Lamas or teachers of the Dharma, Buddha's Unsurpassable Teachings.
Importance of Guru Rinpoche in Vajrayana Buddhism.
''Padmasambhava' means 'Lotus-born', which refers to Guru Rinpoche's birth from a lotus in the land of Oddiyana.
Guru Rinpoche, the 'Precious Master', is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and the Buddha of our time.
Whereas Buddha is known primarily for having taught the teachings of the sutra vehicle, Padmasambhava came into this world, and to Tibet in particular, in order to teach the tantras.
While Buddha Shakyamuni exemplifies the buddha principle, the most important element in the sutrayana path, Padmasambhava personifies the guru principle, the heart of Vajrayana Buddhism, and he is therefore known as the 'second Buddha'.'

Building Power.
Introduction.
i heard in a Buddhist Center i meditated in, that they are increasing their Power via meditation, as well as seeking Liberation & Enlightenment on the Diamond Way.
i have only one wish, that is - Enlightened Love as a Way for Enlightenment - every other wish, including increasing my own power is optional, just ideas to consider.
Still, i think other wishes might be useful on that Way.
Wishes.
i wish to help Buddha, Lama, Sangha, Friends & Allies - by building their Power.
i wish that Buddha, Lama & Sangha, Friends & Allies also build my Power, if possible, but not at the cost of Enlightened Love.
i wish to share power with Buddha, Lama & Sangha - if possible & beneficial, again not at all cost.
i wish to lose gained Power if Buddha Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje, Lama Ole Nydahl or a Buddhist woman i Love decides so - for any amount of time they decide - i trust their Wisdom & Compassion that Way.
Mantras.

Calming Activity & Energy.
Introduction.
Since years i am in contact with troubled, scared & anxious people - not only from psychiatric hospitals.
Wishes.
i wish to help people achieve inner peace, for benefit of all.
i wish to develop calming activity & protecting activity, to develop a quality of radiating such energies - for benefit of all. i think it's what we need most at this moment.
i wish to learn hypnosis to give people inner peace when they are troubled, angry, anxious or scared.
i also wish to 'awaken' people from 'dreams of delusions' - using hypnosis that breaks such 'dreams', to 'use form to break free from a delusionary form' - when we are ready for that.
Later i wish to 'catch up' with increasing activity, with fascinating activity, increasing proper energies associated as well.
Finally, i wish to develop a quality that will let me choose & send different energies to different people, as they need - simultaneously.

Awakening Deva & Manifesting Buddha Qualities.
Introduction.
Years ago, i took seriously Mahakala Practice, trying to be a Protector that way.
i think Mahakala is Deva, in which Buddha Qualities manifested.
i read that HH Buddha Karmapa told that Lama Ole Nydahl realized all of Mahakala Qualities in this life already.
Thoughts & Concerns.
i didn't plan for this, but recently my understanding grew, thoughts & concerns appeared.
Insights appeared telling me that it's my way to awaken Mahakala Deva Qualities within me, including Manifesting Buddha Qualities in this Ascended Form - to skillfully help countless beings.
It's not practicing Buddhism to become a God, for Buddha taught that it's building happiness on 'shaky ground' - no god lasts forever, and there's no greater pain than pain of dying god.
Only Enlightenment is lasting.
What i was thinking was about practicing Buddhism & Deity Yoga in future - while exploring various mind-states to understand how mind works better, including Deva & Asura (Asura who challenges Devas) mind states. While in these heavenly states trying to help as best as possible, and accepting the loss of these states when time comes for it.
i do not know where this leads, however.
Following concerns appeared:
- Is it proper? Is it worthwhile aspiration?
- Is it deluded ambition & mostly waste of precious time?
- Can Devas or Asuras be Wise & Compassionate, can they reach Enlightenment before they fall from heavenly realms?
i do not know answers, but i heard that humans have best opportunity for development of all possible births.
i could use honest, sincere feedback & comments regarding that way.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.
