To not become happy because of praise, To not become unhappy because of blame, To support one's own good virtues, This is the character of the supreme being
If the intention is good, the levels and paths are good. If the intention is bad, the levels and paths are bad, Since everything depends on intentions, Always make sure they are positive.

BUDDHIST TERMINOLOGY: THE BARBARIAN
BUDDHIST TERMINOLOGY: THE BARBARIAN
In terms of secular western thinking, the word “barbarian” often conjures images of a cruel, brutish, merciless savage who, armed with a club or other means of violence, is intent on wreaking havoc. At the least, the word is associated with a person who may be from an undeveloped, uneducated area or country and regarded as lowbrow, crude, and vulgar.
However, in the Buddhist lexicon, the meaning of “barbarian” signifies something quite different. Rather than a person with sights set upon inflicting mayhem, the Buddhist term is more akin to what westerners think of as a “heathen”, hedonist or non-believer. It refers to “jungle mentality”, one who has the body of a human but the limited view of a jungle animal. Continue reading
COMING HOME – the cremation of Khandro Lhamo
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, was a distinguished teacher, of among others the Dalai Lama. He has been reincarnated as the Yangsi or ‘newborn’. The young Yangsi is one of the leaders presiding over the cremation of Khandro Lhamo, who in his past life had been his sang yum.
We see the extensive and colorful cremation, presided over by the most distinguished leaders of various Tibetan schools, partly because Khandro Lhamo was the Sang yum of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, head of the Nyingmapas.
It may well be one of the last times the leaders of a Tibetan Buddhist cremation were actually born in Tibet. The importance of direct transmission during the rituals on to the new generation is therefore given extra weight by this cremation. Trulchik Rinpoche, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Tenga Rinpoche, Yangsi, Neten Choling, as well as daughter Semo Chime Wangmo and Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche share their views. Continue reading
