The Living Journal - Words Of My Perfect Teachers

~ I do not believe in a fate that falls on men.

However they act, but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

~ Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.

~ Better than a thousand hollow words,is one word that brings peace and loving kindness.

~ I never see what has been done, I only see what remains needed to be done.

~ It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It can not be taken away from you, not by angels or demons, heaven or hell.

~ Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a right spiritual path.

Thank you for reading and may you find peace and joyfulness within yourself while you are reading this blog.

Heartfelt Message of His Holiness The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje

His Holiness birth date June 26, 1985.

This year marks my 30th birthday. Time has passed very quickly. This year is also the 15th year since I left Tibet and came to India. This 30th birthday is considered to mark a special milestone, and many people have been requesting me to celebrate this birthday extensively. However, I have decided not to celebrate my birthday for several reasons that I would like to share with you here.

His Holiness was with His Parents in Tibet. 

In all these years since leaving Tibet, I have never seen my parents again, and now they have grown old. This body was created and nurtured by my parents, and therefore my birthday is a day in which I feel their absence keenly.

In these 15 years since I arrived in India, I have been living in a temporary residence at Gyuto Monastery in Dharamsala. Even though Gyuto Monastery has been an exceptionally kind and hospitable host, it is unseemly for a guest to cause such unnecessary inconvenience over their birthday year after year.

Furthermore, each year on my birthday, I recall not only my parents, but also the sparkling beauty of the pristine natural environment in which I was born and raised. This intensifies my sense of urgency for the protection of the fragile ecosystems of the Tibetan plateau as well as the Himalayas. As I have said, the area’s glaciers make it the source of most of Asia’s major rivers, and the Third Pole of the globe itself. For this reason, the Tibetan plateau plays an important role in the well-being and sustenance not only of the people who live within it, but of all of Asia and indeed the entire planet. Because the Tibetan culture and way of life has existed in harmony with that environment for thousands of years, I feel its preservation is urgently needed in order to preserve that crucial environment.

This is true not only of the Tibetan plateau, but also of the entire Himalayan region, including the countries of Bhutan and Nepal, and the states of India located within the Himalayas, such as the State of Sikkim. The country of Bhutan presents an excellent example of the value of retaining the way of life that is uniquely suited to the local Himalayan environment, and its commitment to doing so is truly praiseworthy.

I have yet to visit but have heard from my many friends there that Sikkim is a peaceful and environmentally friendly state. The main seat of the Karmapa reincarnation lineage is Tsurphu Monastery in Tibet, and I have had the wonderful opportunity to experience life there. When the 16th Karmapa left Tibet, he built a monastic seat at Rumtek in Sikkim, which is now a part of India.

Meanwhile, many people in Sikkim have a solemn and sacred bond with the 16th Karmapa and now are deeply devoted to me. Many of them have repeatedly requested me to come to visit them and it is my own heartfelt wish to be able to travel to Sikkim in order to meet with them to honor these sacred bonds and to make a pilgrimage to holy places in Sikkim.

Nepal is still recovering from the terrible destruction and loss of life due to the recent earthquakes. I have asked my monasteries and nunneries to offer not only their prayers but also active and practical aid, and I request again now that they continue unflaggingly, as much rebuilding and healing still lies ahead. This tragic earthquake also shows very clearly the value and importance of the natural environment. We must take that as a lesson, and intensify our efforts to preserve and protect our planet, which has been like a kind, life-giving mother who has nurtured us all.

For all these various reasons, I personally will not be celebrating my birthday. I understand that others may still want to mark this day, and I do not wish to prevent anyone else from holding celebrations if they wish to do so.

From my side, I feel that I have accomplished nothing that I consider worthy of so many years of life; and have done nothing but receive a great deal of support and love from many people. I want to take this occasion to thank all of them from the very bottom of my heart.

The Living Journal - Clash of Egos

Being egoist nowadays is considered something bad by the majority of people, but egoism doesn’t mean you can't be good with others. It means you do good to others because you really want to. Many of us forgot how to be egoists and thus are living unhappy lives, or are not very popular among others and so on. 

Being egoist means you put yourself and your needs before all others. It means that others are no longer the driving power of your progress but yourself and your needs.  You might think it’s unfair but after all the one to blame is you, for following other's ideas blindly. 

You needs to realise that nobody but you knows what's good for you and what's going to make you happy. Only you may walk your path of life and nobody else. There are too many people spend money they earned to buy the things they don't want and also to  impress people that they don't like.

A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you. So never let your pride or ego stop you from reaching out to someone you truly care for, but being too egoistic will bring you to nowhere but destruction.

Remember the Lord Buddha taught us  :- The middle paths.

Every time your head touches the ground in prayer, remember it is to teach you to put down your ego. 

Thank you for reading and may you find peace and joyfulness within yourself while you are reading this blog.

The Living Journal - Timeless Treasures

Thank goodness is Friday, let have some light and easy moments of thoughts in Buddhism. The Living Journal-Growing old is our timeless treasures. In Buddhism, we talk to many different aspects of life, be it a ritual, Dharma, social networking for the poor, against animals cruelty and humanitarian works etc.

I haven't met anyone yet, who is not familiar with ‘good advice;' we have all been a recipient of it some time or another during the course of our lives. Unfortunately, we are not always receptive to the one giving us this treasure and sometimes fail to heed the counsel in the words that are given. 

Unlike other treasures we already have in our possession, if we are not careful with the way we handle advice; we can cause injury to ourselves or loved ones. On the other hand, if we receive and heed sound advice, it can result in great blessings for us, our loved ones and even save a life. 

While you can, be sure to also hold on to the timeless treasure of good advice and if you handle it with care, you can feel good about sharing it with others and anticipate good results.  

I love this journal particularly it involved with our timeless treasures, it tell us our youthfulness can be so fragile, but then again,  there are many people are paying lot attention, and trying too hard or trying so much to go against the law of nature. Many, including me may find insecurity of reaching certain aged, but then again , if there is someone out there you could count on , but what about those who simply don't have any anyone to count on ? Sounded like a tragedy, but living in this samsara world means how uncertain and can be challenging in many way depending how we treasure it.

Thank you for reading and with your continuing support to read my blog, it helps to spread the Dharma knowledge and as well turning the Dharma wheel to the world.

Dedication of merits

May those who read and sharing of this blog's information be peaceful and joyful. May the Buddha Dharma be flourished and the merits will be dedicated to the sentient beings.

The Living Journal - The Four Letter Words.

The living journal is kicking start with the four letter word that matter most.

What's is the four interesting four letter words ???? Take a look at the following four letter words now and perhaps it may look like what we always associated with.

The four letter words D.P.M.S

D - Dreams that we pursuing 
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. Famously quoted by Walt Disney.
We are all beaten over the head that we should always pursue our dreams, always follow our passions, always turn reality into what we believe will make us happy. We only live once, so why not live to the fullness and chase your dreams and let the spirit and your visions to live on.

P - Physically 
It's your own life and you need to take care on your own instead of depending on others. In today's rat race, it is impossible avoid not to have stress. Your body is hard-wired to react to stress in ways meant to protect you against threats from predators and aggressors. Once a perceived threat has passed, our hormone levels return to normal. You must watch out as you are responsible of your own risk and if you are physically not taking care of.

M - Mentally 
You need to be strong. Every time you fall, take it in a positive way. Manage your stress and pressure well. Prioritise what you need to do. In many ways, our mental health is more important than our physical health. If you are mentally weak, that will pull you down.

S - Spiritually
Is up to each individual and his or her own faith. It's what you believe in from a young age, your parents' influence and also what you have encountered in your life. For me, I believe in the harmony of one's body , soul, and mind.  Invest in your soul, for example through meditation. As I am a Buddhist, I go to the monastery, listen the Dharma, talk to the holy monks and follow the Buddha teachings. The Buddha give me wisdom and direction in life. Religion brings us calmness an peace of mind. At times physical strength is not enough, you need some power in your spiritual life. I want to be a better person and faith help me direct me down this path.

To find a balance of our life, choose your job wisely and confidently that can bring you a stable income for your kids and love ones for a better tomorrow DPMS here. 

Thank you for reading.
