To all or none, CHANGING THE WORLD.by S.RINPOCHE
Ultimately the vision of the Bardo teachingsand the deepest understanding of both art And science all converge on one fact,our responsability to andfor ourselves;and the necessity of using that responsability in the most urgent and far-reaching way:to transform ourselves,the meaning of our lives,and so the world around us.
As the Buddha said: I have shown you the way to liberation'nowyou must take it for yourself.

To all or none, Today ,what ,I have chosen from the book is choosing a Master.
In Buddhism we establish wether a teacher is authentic by wether or not the guidance he or she is giving accords with the teachings of Buddha.It cannot be stressed too often that it is THE TRUTH OF THE TEACHING,which is all-important,and never the personality of the teacher.This is why Buddha reminded us in the ....FOUR RELIANCES...
Rely on the message of the teacher,not his personality, Rely on the meaning ,not just in the words, Rely on the real meaning,not on the provisional one, Rely on your wisdom mind,not on your ordinary,judgmental mind.
So it is important to remember that the true teacher,as we shall see,IS the spokeperson of the TRUTH,it,s compassionate ;Wisdom Display.
?.................................................................................................................
What I call !Universe works in a Wonderful way.When I opened the book ,I fell on the above passage, just as My Teacher and IN are in an exchange of views. What it my Rigpa that led me to this page ,I do not know,one thing fo sure is ...The Deepest Respect .... I have for my teacher.
Loong

To all or none,
It has been a while,I needed to reenter the real world of deep spirituality,my Buddhism. The texts are still by by Sogyal Rinpoche. The subject or part of IS the light seen at death or near death experienced.
THE LIGHT
At the moment of death ,the Ground Luminosity,or Clear Light dawnsin all its splendor.THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD:Says:O son/daughter of an enlightened family...your Rigpa, IS inseparable luminosity and emptiness and dwells as a great expanse of ligth;beyound birth or death,it IS,in fact,the BUDDHA of Unchanging Light;
Melvin Morse ,wh has specializes in the reseach of near-death experiences in children,remarks;Nearrly every near death experiences of children and bout ne ourh o those of adults has in it an element o ligt .They all repot that thelight appears at the final stags of the near-death experience,after they have had an out-of -body experince or have travelled up the tunnel; So that will be it for today.

To all or none,
What I have learned through this book is how to conceive death and after life.Since my stabbing,words like bardo,rigpa,sem,karuna, metta have taken a different importance in my life.
Mindfulness ,living NOW has become more and more important.What I have learned through this book is that my karma has been one of survival.
loong learning everytime I write.
