Meditated - once again.

Meditation.

Today i had insight that i can meditate for a while.

i meditated a little, it was months or years since i did meditate.

This was a 'Meditation on Light & Breath' from 'Buddha & Love' book by Lama Ole Nydal.

i took it easy, didn't push too far nor carry meditation for too long for my sanity.

i meditated to calm mind & gain distance to disturbing thoughts & feelings that appear in mind.

i am happy that a woman i Love appeared in mind briefly as i meditated - it felt as we meditated together once again.

Dedication & Thoughts.

i am grateful for this meditation, i wish to share accomplishment & dedicate this experience for benefit of all beings.

i had insights that while meditation endangers my sanity, on my responsibility i can.

Perhaps i'll meditate a little more again soon.

Mantras.

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.
