Current Events:  DALAI LAMA SPEAKS OUT ABOUT SOGYAL RINPOCHE

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

His Holiness the Dalai Lama calls Sogyal Rinpoche “disgraced” and stresses that nobody should follow the teachings of any lama without question – not even from himself – stressing that they must live up to the teachings of Buddha and what society expects. He also reiterates his advice from 1993 that lamas who behave badly should be exposed in the media.  (TRANSCRIPT IS BELOW.)

Recorded at the inauguration of the seminar “Buddhism in Ladakh” @ Central Institute of Buddhist Studies (CIBS) in Leh, Ladakh, India on 1st August 2017.

For more information on the allegations against Sogyal Rinpoche and Rigpa, see:

TRANSCRIPT:
(With all due respect to the Dalai Lama’s English skills, I have attempted to correct his grammar, without changing the meaning)

“I feel some of these lama institutions have some sort of influence of the feudal system. That is outdated and must end – that feudal influence. Then eventually a lama institution creates lama politics [DL laughs heartily]. That’s very bad.

An individual lama’s disgrace doesn’t matter, but it gives a very bad impression about a monastery or a monk. Very bad. So we must pay more attention.

You should not say, “This is my guru. What guru says I must follow.” That’s totally wrong! Buddha himself mentioned, “You must examine my teaching”. Similarly if one particular lama says something, you examine whether this goes well according to Buddhaʻs teaching or according to the circumstances in society. Then you must follow. If the lama says something; if you investigate and it’s not proper, then you should not follow the lama’s teaching. Even Dalai Lama’s teaching; if you find some contradiction you should not follow my teaching.

As far as Gelugpa is concerned, Lama Tsonghkapa clearly mentioned; if a lama teaches something that is against the dharma it should be avoided and opposed. If the lama’s teaching is in accord with the dharma it should be followed, if it is in discord with the Dharma it should not be followed.

Many years ago in Dharmasala at a Western Teachers Conference, some Western Buddhist teachers mentioned some Zen masters and Tibetan Buddhist Masters had created a very bad impression among people. Then I told them them; these people do not follow Buddhaʻs advice, Buddhaʻs teaching. We cannot do. So, the only thing is to make it public, through newspapers, through the radio. Make it public!

These lamas, although they don’t care about Buddha’s teaching, they may care about their face [points at his face, indicating shame]. I told them at that conference, almost 15 years ago I think. Now, recently Sogyal Rinpoche; my very good friend, but he’s disgraced. So some of his own students have now made public their criticism.”

Courage gives life to our little and big ambitions, life decisions as well as miracles. Without courage, it is not only impossible to survive in this world, living becomes more of hardships. Like meditation and chromotherapy, Crystals for courage when used on the higher chakras are seen to fill the wearer with confidence and surety.

It is not unnatural to meet people who are perpetually afraid of something or the other. If you suffer from perpetual fear, gemstones can show you a new way of life. In fact, higher chakra gemstones are specifically known to build self-confidence and courage in the users.

Being afraid of things can build an alert and cautious personality that is rooted in solid ideologies. However, if your fears are restricting you from giving your best shot at life, it is unhealthy. Fears are all unhealthy according to spirituality. It limits your potential by…

Spiritual Evolution Or From The Fool To The Hermit, Part 1

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

The Fool according to Daphna Moore represents the Hebrew letter Aleph, meaning ox, the element Air, bright pale yellow and the planet Uranus. Most people, including Daphna Moore believe that The Fool represents on the human level, the pre-incarnate spirit. I’d also discovered in my studies that Paracelsus, the famous alchemist believed that the body came from the earth: the soul from the stars and the spirit from God. If Paracelsus were taken literally then he would appear to be saying that the Spirit and Soul are from different places….

a sacred transfiguring Flame of Divine Love,

in service to Mother Earth and all Her Life.

Ha’awina – Lesson: Accessing The Akashic Records and the Book of Life

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

A great deal of information is available from the akashic records. Those familiar with the akashic records tend to think of them as a place, like the reference library of the cosmos. However, the akashic records are everywhere, part of the fabric of all things. Everything that occurs is recorded there. Anyone can learn to access this information, at least to some degree. However, the records are quite complex and require a great deal of practice to use skillfully.

But is that your reality? More importantly … are you consistently creating the reality you want for yourself? The Akashic Records can be an amazing resource that allow us to manifest exactly the human experience we want for ourselves – in very real, practical ways.
We Are All Creators of This Reality! We have forgotten the divinity that is inside all of us. We are capable of achieving miracles, but our educational system teaches that matter is the highest there is … We know better now, don’t we? Everything is energy, every emotion or situation is purely energy. We don’t have physical senses to sense emotions, but what we do sense is energy. Ancient civilizations were very well aware of this fact and they were masters in harnessing and directing energy to their will. We must reclaim this knowledge. We are not the victims of this reality: we are the creators of it. We must remember that nature’s natural state is abundance! When something is lacking in the natural world, the eco-system will be out of balance and will not thrive,and only try to survive. This is humanity right now — we are not really living: we are merely surviving.
Regain your ancient power and be in charge of your experience here on the physical plane.
