The video introduces you to the basic techniques of meditation as recommended by one of the best known and most respected spiritual leaders of our times — His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Though drawing upon Buddhist philosophy the medication is a secular one that anyone can follow. It offers a short introduction as to how we can all be happy and move beyond the inevitable suffering of the human condition, our personal anxieties and struggles.
His Holiness The Dalai Lama is regarded by the millions of followers as an incarnation of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha aspect for compassion. The practises and teachings on this video teach us how we can cultivate altruism and compassion so that it brings us personal contentment and create a peaceful world. The talk was given to an audience of Indians and Westerners in Dharamsala some years ago.
He is just a fraud
A beautiful human being. Always a pleasure to see his gentel qualities.
However, his line of thoughts regarding developing higher mental and
emotional states in my view depict some of the reasons why the buddhist
community is generally not productive enough. I feel sad, because they are
such a large and genuine community of people dedicating their time to this.
Spiritual growth through intellectual analysis is an ocean of possible
misrepresentations …
In my view, Dalai Lama is a great ambassador for Tibet and Buddhist in
general. But I am not sure he is a great spiritual guid.
Good luck Dalai Lama. And thanks for your kind words
The path of integrating oneself with the world around , has been
beautifully expresses by the Dalai Lama in this discourse . This inspires
me to adopt the path shown by him , I guess it can be defined as
‘Integrative Humanism’
The Dalai Lama is a charlatan. For those of you who want to understand the
political motivations behind his actions then please read the book ‘The
False Dalai Lama’ which details the corruption and religious suppression
that he has been enforcing under the guise of a supposed holy man
You can tell His Holiness is genuinely hoping to pave a path of a secular
way in which humanistic principles can be developed, just based on this
video. He’s sitting down on the bare floor of an audience giving Buddhist
teachings. Being the highest ranking Lama, this is outstanding of him to do
so.
A very profound speech. I am so thankful to you that you uploaded this
video which gave a good message. I am also so thankful for the great Dalai
Lama who taught the true nature of mind. I show my gratitude. May all
beings be free from suffering and attain budhahood.. Namaste
Refuting the believe that the Dalai Lama is a sincere and pure buddhist
practitioner and teacher by using his own words and comparing it with
Buddhas wisdom:
ANGER SOLVES NOTHING
We must admit that sometimes the Dalai Lama tells the truth. Some days ago. The Dalai Lama keeps laughing: ,
a friend of mine showed me a magazine with a Dalai Lama interview, in it
the Dalai Lama says the following and I quote:
There is no much sense in me speaking about myself. It is better that other
people do it? What I know is that when I was a child I was a character, but
I have changed. Nowadays, I get angry from time to time, like for example
not long ago in Madrid. It was in the hotel waiting for my luggage to
arrive to the hotel, and it was not arriving. No one knew anything about
it. How silly! It should be somewhere. So I lost my temper. But it was for
a good reason: in my luggage there was my Tibetan medicine and I have
stomach pain, so I need it. In general I think that emotions and
intelligence come together. The emotions are part of our life but
intelligence must control them. In my case, when emotions come out my
wisdom and experience help me. However sometimes they appear in my dreams.
I see myself fighting with people. I hold something in my hand and I try to
hit them, but then I remember in my dream that I am a monk and I should not
fight. Sometimes I also dream with women. Yes attractive women… The Dalai
Lama laughs and speaks in Tibetan that Thetong translates:
that is a very low comment, Can you imagine Shantideva, Milarepa, Atisha o
Yhe Tsonkhapa stating such a low , insulting and ordinary comment?
Is this the person appointed to represent the Buddhist path in this world?
For me he is just a show man and a very, very ordinary person full of
delusions and with no capacity or will to overcome them.
PD- The interview was in the Spanish magazine “El semanal” 9 of July 2005
