Interdependence within Sangha.

Beings and Phenomena are interdependent, depending on other Beings and Phenomena for origination and existence.

Within Sangha, this means that every life is precious, that we depend on each other for survival, for growth, for enlightenment.

We should not release anger on 'lessers', we should help everyone.

... is it better to release anger on 'lessers' while bribing superiors, while sucking up to superiors?

Buddhas Teach that they do not want worshippers, but the true partners - how it is related with compassion? is it about bribery and buttering up superiors with too sweet words while taking advantage of 'lessers'?

Buddhism should not be tyranny and enslavenment, every life is precious - as Buddhas Teach, i think.

Buddhas Teach of Wisdom and Compassions - so taking advantage of others is not 'skillful means' nor 'agile methods', i think.

is releasing anger on weaker, is enslavement or taking advantage of people with worse karma a way to help others purify bad karma?

... i think not.

Friends are those who help or support others in development, in growth - instead of hindering growth.

Sangha should be a community of friends, instead of a snobbish clique where 'more realized' take advantage of 'lessers'.

So ... my plea to those who have better karma - especially to those who have Mahamudra - is to follow True Lessons of our Teachers, to develop Compassion and Wisdom, to behave as Buddhas we identify with until You are Buddhas truly.

i think this lessons should apply both on outer and inner levels, as outer appearances are not everything - one should also be internally pure.

Today is Medin Poya: Sangha Day!




'Medin Poya day is the full-moon of March.

This holy day celebrates that the Buddha visits his parental home after his supreme Enlightenment, and ordains his son prince Rāhula, and also his half-brother Nanda.

This day is also called: The Sangha Day, since on this full-moon 1250 Arahants spontaneously assembled around the Buddha without any invitation.

Buddha then spoke the famous Ovada Patimokkha core teaching!

On such Full-Moon Uposatha Poya Observance days:

Any Lay Buddhist simply join the Three Refuges and undertakes the Five Precepts like this:

Newly bathed, shaved, white-clothed, with clean bare feet, one kneels at a shrine with a Buddha-statue, and bows first three times, so that feet, hands, elbows, knees and head touch the floor. Then, with joined palms at the heart, one recites these memorized lines in a loud, calm and steady voice:

As long as this life lasts:
I hereby take refuge in the Buddha.
I hereby take refuge in the Dhamma.
I hereby take refuge in the Sangha.
I hereby seek shelter in the Buddha for the 2nd time.
I hereby seek shelter in the Dhamma for the 2nd time.
I hereby seek shelter in the Sangha for the 2nd time.
I hereby request protection from the Buddha for the 3rd time.
I hereby request protection from the Dhamma for the 3rd time.
I hereby request protection from the Sangha for the 3rd time.
I will hereby respect these Three Jewels the rest of my life!

I accept to respect, keep and undertake these 5 training rules:
I hereby accept and undertake the training rule of avoiding all Killing.
I hereby accept and undertake the training rule of avoiding all Stealing.
I hereby accept and undertake the training rule of avoiding all Sexual Abuse.
I hereby accept and undertake the training rule of avoiding all Lying and Cheating.
I hereby accept and undertake the training rule of avoiding all Alcohol and Drugs.'

Beyond Appearances: The in-depth relations within our Stupa House Sangha.

About.

i think i focused on Buddhism, Esoterics, Arts & other Sciences more than on Computer Sciences because of people in 'my personal Sangha', because of people i took inspiration from.

But now i let other people, the computer scientists from Stupa House Sangha (mostly Borg, Tomasz Klaudel, Kućka - sorry i don't know Your real name & Marcin Barański) in my Mind to draw inspiration from, when Other Ways decide to give them priority. i feel that without their support & without support of older & Wiser Computer Scientists i won't progress very far in Dragonfly Algorithm efforts.

i try to not take things personally or superficially. i try to see the depth.

Certain people dismissed me from Stupa House, to Protect me from too much of Meditation. Even that a certain tensions appeared as a result - it's not all that counts in forming the relations.

i can accept them as a part my Teachers, even if they are younger - but still more developed in Buddhism. if they accept me as student, of course.

As for myself - i accept anyone as my student, not only on Buddhism Way - unless HH Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje Protects me that Way. i follow insights in that decision, don't expect Him talking personally to someone as insignificiant as me. i understand Buddhas are very busy, far too important to personally answer everyone on every occasion. i think lessons are not only words or images, either in direct speech or in other form as in the internet, but also a Mind Contact, Energy Flow, Transmission in many forms, perhaps more.

i do not hold grudge toward Tomasz Klaudel, Marcin Barański & Rafał Olech for dismissing me - they all did this as well ... i just follow feelings & thoughts. i think they meditated to support me, not to 'control insane person under to not be a danger', so i see them as friends.

i perceive meditation as a form of speech that involves body language, smiles, frowns, feelings, breath, voice tone when speaking mantras or other words, mind contact - speech that forms strong connection & imprint on mind (we meditate with open minds, we are very sensitive to stimuli during meditation) that develops into thoughts & feelings - either beneficial or harmful. in case of above people, i think they are beneficial for me.

Sangha.

About.

'Sangha (Tib. Gendun): the community of practitioners, often used to designate a Buddhist group.

As part of Buddhist refuge, it indicates the realized friends on the way.'

-- Quoted from 'Buddha & Love' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.

The Golden Dawn & Buddhist Sangha Alliance against Islamic Terror?

About.

Got insight that male & old occultist from our Sangha will protect me from many dangers, including from breaking bond with our Teachers as i progress into Occultism & Esoterics - because Lama Ole told him to do so.

Got insight that he's mostly interrested in Chinese Occult, one of most powerful esoteric ways, and that his price is that i'll continue part of his work.

i've agreed to that in mind, but not at the cost of Enlightened Love - with a Buddhist Woman i Love (i know who).

i think she wants me to be a Buddhist Mage anyway.

Got insight that he'll help me to understand & counter Dragon Magic of Babylon, a task that arose in my mind years ago during a Buddhist Lecture with Lama Ole Nydahl. Dragon Magic of Babylon is basicly Ancient, Powerful & Insanely Dangerous Islamic-Terror Magic (Dragons are symbols of Fear or Magic & Protection, depending on a perspective).

i know that the Hermetic Order of the Golden dawn fights against Islamic Terror, including Daesh Organization (also known as ISIS, even if we consider it defilement of egyptian godess' name).

Currently, my main reason of befriending Buddhist Sangha with the Golden Dawn is to counter Dragon Magic of Babylon in future. there are many powerful mages in that group, and we share many of our common enemies.

... we'll see how this will develop.

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.
