Being Useful.

Introduction.

i think it's common problem in modern society to think that being useful can be reduced to working & paying taxes.

While taxes help to fund welfare & social benefits for more unfortunate than succesful, it's too narrow thinking - i think.

Being useful.

i think world needs compassion & kindness, education & empathy - not only materialistic gains.

Different people have different needs, and not everything money can provide.

But even then, money helps in fight for fulfilling needs as Love, Family, Peaceful Life or other Nonmaterial Values or Rare Goods.

From a Buddhist perspective, Lama Ole Nydahl authored a book 'Being Useful', or 'Być Pożytecznym' in Polish Language.

i do not have this book yet, but i try to be useful for others anyway.

i wish to buy & read this book nevertheless - i wish to do this when it's Enlightening.

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.

Mantras.

What is a True Budhism? ... for my opinion, check - if you wish or need: a link.

--
This blog's author is not the best of Buddhists yet, either in Wisdom, Compassion, as well as in the Realization of the Lessons.

i wish to be Lama (Buddhist Teacher) as soon as possible, for now i am only learning how to Teach.

Critic to my attempts is requested & welcome.

For the best Buddhist Introduction, Lessons, Meditation & Experience, please visit the Buddhist Center.

Teachers i advise to check - an important lesson is that one should check Teacher before accepting him or her - are:
* HH Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje,
* Lama Ole Nydahl.

--
As for Non-Buddhist Esoteric lessons, i advise checking the following Traditions:
* Wicca,
* Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,
* Temple of Witchcraft.

This blog's author's Way is more Open to Spiritual & Esoteric Ways other than Buddhism, more than most of the Buddhists' Ways.

Even when Vajrayana Buddhism (Diamond Way Buddhism) is called also Esoteric Buddhism, Buddha tended to stay away from what we now call Esoterics.

Nevertheless, i feel that people as i are also needed in Sangha (Buddhist Community), that other Spiritual & Esoteric Traditions are also People whom we can help & win friendships with.

The most important of my Spiritual & Worldly Ways are described in an article, some of them are consiered quite evil, nevertheless.

i think they can be helped & should be helped as a way of turning Darkness into the Light.

Peace Efforts & Diplomatic Relations with them are important as well.

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.

See also, if You wish: Brilliant Moon.

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.

Important Ideas on blog author's Way.

Hope this index of ideas will simplify things, let others catch up with understanding faster & show the direction where these ideas lead to - as well as important points to visit on the Way.

i am not ready to explain everything just yet, however .... so feel free to research on Your own, if You care or wish.

Namaste, Your efforts help us as well.

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.
