In the Sutra Completely Dear to Monks:

An extremely well-disciplined person is
Beautiful to look at, Abides by the Vinaya,
Trusts the practice of discipline, Accumulates in a single day
Inexhaustible mountains of merit; And thus will attain enlightenment.

And Arya Nagarjuna said,

"Discipline is the ground of all qualities," said the Buddha. "Just as the earth is the ground that supports animate and inanimate phenomena

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse

We usually appreciate only half the cycle of impermanence. We can accept birth but not death, gain but not loss, or the end of exams but not the beginning. True liberation comes from appreciating the whole cycle and not grasping onto those things we find agreeable.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, What Makes You Not a Buddhist

Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche

The view of the natural state is beyond concepts, The meditation is beyond meditating, The conduct is beyond accepting and rejecting, The fruition is beyond hope and fear.

HH Dilgo khyentse yangsi rinpoche

I’m not a politician but what I could say is that nothing in the world will settle down unless the minds of human beings settle down. For hundreds and hundreds of years people have always been in conflict, fighting each other—it’s not something new.

obsession of The Mind #valentinesday2022



[1] The Book of the Ones
Homage to the Blessed One, the Arahant,
the Perfectly Enlightened One
I. Obsession of the Mind
1 (1)
Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling
at Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Park. There the
Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: “Bhikkhus!”
“Venerable sir!” those bhikkhus replied. The Blessed One
said this:
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other form that so obsesses
the mind17 of a man as the form of a woman. The form of a
woman obsesses the mind of a man.”
2 (2)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other sound that so obsesses
the mind of a man as the sound of a woman. The sound of a
woman obsesses the mind of a man.”
3 (3)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other odor that so obsesses the
mind of a man as the odor of a woman. The odor of a woman
obsesses the mind of a man.”18 [2]
4 (4)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other taste that so obsesses the
mind of a man as the taste of a woman. The taste of a woman
obsesses the mind of a man.”19
90 The Book of the Ones I 3
5 (5)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other touch that so obsesses
the mind of a man as the touch of a woman. The touch of a
woman obsesses the mind of a man.”20
6 (6)21
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other form that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the form of a man. The form of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.”
7 (7)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other sound that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the sound of a man. The sound of a
man obsesses the mind of a woman.”
8 (😎
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other odor that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the odor of a man. The odor of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.”
9 (9)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other taste that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the taste of a man. The taste of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.”
10 (10)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other touch that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the touch of a man. The touch of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.” [3]
II. Abandoning the Hindrances22
11 (1)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of
which unarisen sensual desire arises and arisen sensual desire
increases and expands so much as the mark of the attractive.
23 For one who attends carelessly to the mark of the attractive,
unarisen sensual desire arises and arisen sensual desire
increases and expands

12 (2) “Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which unarisen ill will arises and arisen ill will increases and expands so much as the mark of the repulsive.24 For one who attends carelessly to the mark of the repulsive, unarisen ill will arises and arisen ill will increases and expands.” 13 (3) “Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which unarisen dullness and drowsiness arise and arisen dullness and drowsiness increase and expand so much as discontent, lethargy, lazy stretching, drowsiness after meals, and sluggishness of mind.25 For one with a sluggish mind, unarisen dullness and drowsiness arise and arisen dullness and drowsiness increase and expand.” 14 (4) “Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which unarisen restlessness and remorse arise and arisen restlessness and remorse increase and expand so much as an unsettled mind.26 For one with an unsettled mind, unarisen restlessness and remorse arise and arisen restlessness and remorse increase and expand.” [4] 15 (5) “Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which unarisen doubt arises and arisen doubt increases and expands so much as careless attention.27 For one who attends carelessly, unarisen doubt arises and arisen doubt increases and expands.” 16 (6)28 “Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which unarisen sensual desire does not arise and arisen sensual desire is abandoned so much as the mark of the unattractive.29 For one who attends carefully to the mark of the unattractive, unarisen sensual desire does not arise and arisen sensual desire is abandoned.”30

FIVE IMPURITIES

In modern times government is skilled producing nuclear weapons for waging war and harming each other but government lacks skill to create peace and happiness... world at large is busily laying foundations for conflict and suffering... ~~ Ogyen Drodul Yeshi Dorjee


five impurities [五濁] ( go-joku): Also, five defilements. Impurity of the age, of desire, of living beings, of thought (or view), and of life span. The “Expedient Means” (second) chapter of the Lotus Sutra says, “The Buddhas appear in evil worlds of five impurities. . . . In this evil world of the five impurities those who merely delight in and are attached to the desires, living beings such as this in the end will never seek the Buddha way.” (1) Impurity of the age includes repeated disruptions of the social or natural environment. (2) Impurity of desire is the tendency to be ruled by the five delusive inclinations, i.e., greed, anger, foolishness, arrogance, and doubt. (3) Impurity of living beings is the physical and spiritual decline of human beings. (4) Impurity of thought, or impurity of view, is the prevalence of wrong views such as the five false views. (5) Impurity of life span is the shortening of the life spans of living beings. According to The Words and Phrases of the Lotus Sutra, the most fundamental of these five are the impurities of thought and desire, which result in the impurity of living beings and the impurity of life span. These in turn give rise to the impurity of the age.
