Lama Ole Nydahl told that many are more important than one.
He also told that Karma returns - what we do for others returns to us.
So, i've decided to fight for Enlightened Love for everyone who wants. When people do not want Enlightened Love now, perhaps in future they will - not neccessarily in this life, considering reincarnation.
Fighting for Enlightened Love for myself only seems limited, slow, and stupid to me now. Fighting for benefit of many - i hope - will help me achieve my own goal of Enlightened Love faster as well.
Fighting for Unconditional Love and Conditioned Love also is part of fight for Enlightened Love, i think.
... i think that i've heard that Lama Ole said that Islam and Muslims harm women. Not sure about exact wording, however.
... i trust Lama Ole Nydahl's wise words, so i believe in them - at least for now.
Buddhism is Not a Religion of Faith however, and i think that Buddhas and Lama Ole want us to check if their words are indeed true in modern times still.
As time passess, reality changes after all.
Not all of lessons are timeless and absolute, after all.
... i trust that Buddhas and Lama Ole Nydahl are not afraid of criticism.
... so i want to (finally) read Lama Ole Nydahl's book: 'Buddha & Love', and then read also Qur'an.
... i want to check if Islam is indeed main obstacle for Enlightened Love, and which parts of it are tolerable and which parts of it are not tolerable.
Then i wish to take action, as needed.
... will i resort to violence? i hope it won't be neccessary.
... but i think i should - and will - talk openly my own opinions, at least.

More than One.
Since a while i didn't make a significiant progress in the Buddhism Way.
Then i started to read book: 'Being Useful', an interview with Lama Ole Nydahl.
Book is written in a polish language, it's polish title is: 'Być pożytecznym'.
... understanding came to me again, understanding that i care too little about others - and think too much about myself and my own goals. Despite some efforts, i also am too proud, subconsciously assuming that i am 'better than others' - an attitude that i'm trying to avoid.
In various books, Lama Ole Nydahl wrote many truths, including:
- Many people are more important than one person,
- Those who focus on one's own life have problems to solve. Those who focus on benefit of many, have exciting goals to achieve,
- Everyone has Buddha Nature, potential to become Enlightened.
... i was focusing on trying to find a way to become thinner, mostly diet but also a bit of physical exercises. i was also wishing for succes in enlightened love, success for me and for a buddhist woman i love - together.
... i've been using the OM MANI PEME HUNG mantra to develop compassion, but forgot to try see positive, beautiful aspects of others and myself.
Now, thanks for this book mentioned earlier, made some subtle but important changes to my attitude:
- i wish slim, thin, attractive body - not only for myself, but also for those who wish so. that is, changed focus from myself to 'us',
- i wish success in enlightened love - not only for myself, but also for those who wish so. focus change again.
- started to try see positive, beautiful aspects in everyone again ... even if it's 'only' our inherent Buddha Nature.
Hope this will help the world to be a little better, more compassionate and more beautiful.

Bought 'Being Useful' - book by Lama Ole Nydahl. Why So Late?
(PL) Od ok. 10 lat nosiłem się.z kupnem tej książki. Głosy w głowie mówiły mi żeby nie, że będę nadużywał lekcji z tej książki, że i tak jestem pożyteczny. Ostatnio pojawił się głos mówiący że Lama Ole Nydahl chce żebym kupił - i tak się stało. Nareszcie! 🙂
... nie udało mi się znaleźć angielskojęzycznej wersji książki (żeby cytaty w internecie były przetłumaczone bezbłędnie).
(EN) Since about 10 years I wanted to buy this book ('Being Useful' by Lama Ole Nydahl). Voices in my head told me to not to, that I'll be abusing lessons from this book, that I am useful anyway. Recently new voice appeared, telling me that Lama Ole Nydahl wants me to buy - and it happened. At last! 🙂
... couldn't find english version of this book (useful for quoting the book in the internet, to avoid translation errors).
