Spirituality Revealed

If I could respond to TorahRealms's interestingly delusional comment, I would, but the reply feature isn't there. I will refute it from here.

TorahRealm points to how Tibetan Buddhism supposedly caused horrible human rights problems to plague ancient Tibet. It's an argument used by many opposers of Buddhism and kiss-asses of the Chinese Government. I have looked and found plenty of claims and reports by (biased) pro-chinese sites, but no proof. Perhaps this is why Torah simply says "research into" this, without providing any evidence himself, and forcing others to prove / verify his own case.

I think it's implied from TorahRealm's second paragraph that Western individuals, or any non-Tibetans basically, will NEVER attain enlightenment within the next 50 years, simply because of their race (Who am I to question the great TorahRealm and his trusty future-vision?!?). He goes on to stretch this claim to the point where Tibetan Buddhism points that only Tibetans are capable of being extraordinary in wisdom. Bullshit, you must be retarded to forget that the extremely revered founder of this Religion was atleast either Indian or Nepalese. Your case is ultimately dismissed.

Also, this guy also adds that Tibetan Buddhism is racist since Tibetan Lamas, that are found to be reborn as Western children, are for some totally-not-obvious-self-explanatory-reason always reincarnated lamas. You are really illogical if you cannot crack how that works. You know, Tibetan reincarnates are "always" Tibetan reincarnates. "So racist, amirite?"

Thousands of Western disciples not becoming enlightened? How about the couple of millions of Tibetan Buddhists? Did you forget how the power of 10 works?

"Tibetan Buddhism wants your money but not you". How? How?! HOW?!? EXPLANATION PLEASE?!? No? Of course, what else could I expect. ._.

I cant understand most of what he is saying…english subtitles PLEASE.

peace & blessing to hh the Dalai Lama x

Intelligents behind the mind…sensitiv contiousness…beautiful reconsiliation..

Refuting the believe that the Dalai Lama is a sincere and pure buddhist practitioner and teacher by using his words and comparing it with Buddhas wisdom:
ANGER SOLVES NOTHING

We must admit that sometimes the Dalai Lama tells the truth. Some days ago 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: <If they were ugly, there would not be any problem>. The Dalai Lama keeps laughing: <but even in my dreams my reaction is the same. I tell myself that I am a monk.
Maybe, for the general public that does not know anything about Buddhism this looks cool. But for someone that has some knowledge of Buddhism it is a bit different. These people will arrive to the conclusion that the Dalai Lama cannot be the Buddha of Compassion as some people believe, cannot be a superior bodhisattva, or even a foe destroyer, an ordinary bodhisattva, or a pure and sincere practitioner.
Basically, the Dalai Lama here admits that he gets angry from time to time, but that is not the worst (remember that people consider him the pope of Buddhism)he admits also that is OK to get angry, that there are some occasions in which is OK to get angry. Any sincere Buddhist would agree that Shantideva was a great Buddhist master and a realized being. If we check his masterpiece “Guide to the bodhisattva’s way of life” at the chapter about patience we will learn that there is not a single valid reason to get angry. Shantideva spends many pages refuting the reasons that we normally state to get angry as a means to solve our own problems. 
Since I begin to study and practice Buddhism I have learnt something that has been very important to me, and is that anger solves nothing. In Dalai Lama’s example I would say to him that losing the temper does not solve his external problem (no matter how angry he gets the luggage will not appear) but rather creates his actual problem the mind of anger itself. That is very basic Buddhist knowledge. So it seems that the Dalai Lama does not know this basic knowledge. It is very weird, could not the Dalai Lama (no less than Avalokisteshvara for some) find a more constructive and positive way to react to this situation. He could (if he had followed Buddha’s teachings but he did not).
If we follow Buddhist teachings we will learn that this is a very good opportunity to practice patience. How does it work? Simply by recalling that if we get angry we worsen our problem, that is, the luggage still is not there, he has stomach pain and he now is also angry (3 problems instead of 2 and the real problem is anger). Patience shows us that we can be happy amidst adversity. Examples are given in the scriptures of people that by applying patience they maintain a happy mind and peace of mind even if they are seriously ill with very strong pain like the pain that comes from cancer etc.
The Dalai Lama admits that he is reacting as an ordinary person that at the minimum adversity gets angry. So we could ask him where his Buddhist practice has gone. I think the answer is that the Dalai Lama has the words of Dharma but not the experience of it. He has intellectual knowledge of the teachings but he has not managed to get experience from that knowledge. That is a very common problem. The solution for it is to practice the teachings received. I think also that this is the reason of the two faces of the Dalai Lama (the words that he speaks and the actions he performs). So it would be interesting to know how his intelligence has worked in this case to control his emotions in this case. By his words we can infer the following: It is Ok for me to get angry because I have a valid reason I am in pain and this silly people have lost my luggage with my medicine. Dalai Lama is that the example that you want to show to the world? So according to you everyone has valid reasons to get angry. Is this the way to help people to overcome their delusions? Can be this a good example? This is what the Dalai Lama thinks about his intelligence controlling his emotions. How sad, what a big difference between the Dalai Lama and Shantideva. 
Look, I am o the way and I admit that sometimes I get angry, but I recognise this as my inner enemy that destroys my inner peace, so I pray to get rid of it along with the other delusions. From that point of view I think I am much better practitioner than the Dalai Lama, not because myself but rather thanks to the kindness of my teachers and the effort to overcome delusions like anger.
If we keep analysing Dalai Lama’s words we realize that he has not overcome his delusions he still has anger in his mind, and also attachment and of course ignorance. These are known as the three poisons that steal our inner peace and happiness.  I personally, would never choose a person that admits to have these three poisons, and that admits that is OK to have them as my Spiritual Guide. 
I think in these cases the Dalai Lama speaks the truth so we must take him at the letter. He has no Dharma realizations like tranquil abiding or a direct realization of emptiness because still he suffers from physical problems. He does not know how to practice Loyong, transforming the adversity into the path. He cannot even control his mind in a mild situation. To me he gets angry now just from time to time not because he has learned to control his mind but because he has managed (thanks to his power) to change the external conditions according to his wishes, so when something happens against his wishes he gets angry(see the video of the nun asking him for religion freedom).
Also, a person with Dharma realisations like a direct realization on emptiness on the path of meditation could not have the dreams that he has got, because this people have destroyed the seeds of all delusions, so if there is no seeds they cannot ripen in dreams. You do not need to be Jung to interpret his dreams, they speak for themselves. Also the commentary that he says at the end <if they were ugly there would not be a problem>, 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 persona appointed to represent the Buddhist path in this world? For me is just a clown, 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 Nº 923.

THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TEACHINGS.  IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THE TRANSLATION IN OTHER LANGUAGES OF WHAT HIS HOLINESS SAYS? A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND AND PUT IN PRACTICE WHAT IS HOLINESS SAYS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

i love how he believes in our ethical and moral and logical capabilities as humans. i wish more people took his teachings and tried them out. he is a very good subject for philosophy. im still trying to find inner peace. i guess it comes in time. right now i have peace of health and mind because i know i am doing what im suppose to be doing as a 18 year old.

What book is it he recommends someone who is truly suffering, to read?  It sounded like "Chandadoa" or something like that????  This is important to me. Thanks for responding, some one…xoxoxo
