Meaningful Esoterics.

Introduction.

This blog's author experienced esoteric miracles in his life.

This blog's author heard from Lama Ole Nydahl that supernatural powers are a fact during a Triangle Project Buddhist Lecture. This lecture was probably most important lecutre i've been on, because it was when i took the Refuge in Lama Ole Nydahl.

This blog's author tries to find common points between religions & world views, things that bring together instead of separating - despite obstacles.

Part of these obstacles is inherent to Buddhism, i think.

i'll try my best to remain friendly to non-Buddhists and make meaningful efforts to bring us together, despite obstacles & their reasons that i'll mention in this article.


A Quote.

'Buddha avoided what today is called esoteric.

Although it is touching how some people tried to keep the idealistic feeling of the 1960's alive without drugs through the chrome-plated egotism of the following decades, their purely emotive approach to understanding the world is not enough.

To clearly know mind, one has to perfect all aspects of oneself, including critical reasoning.

Mixing together pleasant sounding spritual fragments from various sources and marketing these as timeless truths bring only sweet confusion.

Even with the finest of new packaging, but without the confirmation of generations of real experience, such mixing does not move beyond the realm of concepts and words.

Real knowledge always moves beyond and has massive power.'

-- Quoted from 'The Way Things Are' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.


Conclusion.

i think there are benefits of bringing the ways together, mostly political.

if we can understand each other at least a little, and if we care enough at least - friendships can be meaningful.

i think real politics is not only sweet words & demands, it's also working within own's ranks so both parties can give and take, instead of only annoying each other.


Wishes.

i wish all beings peace & calm.
i wish all beings happiness without suffering.
i wish all beings perfect understanding - of themselves, as well as of their friends.
i wish all beings to reach their goals, to realize their mind qualities fully.

About meaningful speech & about slander.

Speaking Meaningfully.

'Not speaking foolishly or coarsely

Gossip may be entertaining, but it leaks one's power and creates negative feedback in the mind. This also includes rumors, in which no protective or preventative information is communicated and listeners discern a hint of pleasure at someone else's expense from the speaker.

If one engages in gossip, then eventually one will hear mixed stories about oneself that will shake other people's confidence, and the whole affair can become very unpleasant and time-consuming. Not only is one's partner's or friends' time, which could have been used for something meaningful, wasted, in the long run they will no longer take one seriously. In addition, uncertainty and increasing distance can develop because others may easily assume that they will also be talked about behind their backs.

"Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac," said the LSD psychologist Timothey Leary. Every partner will be inspired by beyond-personal, wise views or meaningful exchange. Warmhearted, thoughtful conversations also create the framework for later succesful discussions, because making suggestions and expressing wishes is more productive than making accusations. Interesting and honest echanges create closeness and are a main basis for long-lasting relationships.'

-- 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.


About Slander, one of the Harmful Acts on the Speech Level.

'Slander should especially be avoided, because its cause is anger. To talk negatively about others behind their backs, unless they are public persons or one speaks to make others aware of dangerous example to their own lives, means taking part in others' negativity. It also destroys friendships and splits people up. Such behavior is self-defeating. Nothing turns against oneself faster than harmful words.'

-- 'The Way Things Are' by Lama Ole Nydahl.
