If there was anyone who knew #how to #cultivate #compassion, it was #Milarepa.
Milarepa was an #enlightened #Tibetan #spiritual master who was born in 1452.
He is considered one of the greatest #Buddhist masters who ever lived. During his lifetime, Milarepa established the lineage of the Kagyu sect; however, he is very highly venerated, to this day, by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Today as we go through this school of life, we shall try to understand how an enlightened person lives. In our pursuit of wonder, we shall borrow knowledge from the following traditions: Buddhism( #Zen and #Tibetian), #Advaita #Vedanta, #Taoism, Confucianism and other schools of #philosophy.
In the West, the intuition of emptiness (expressed in Western philosophy often as nihilism) is conceived as lack. This inherent sense of lack, according to the scholar David R. Loy, is seen as needing to be overcome or obsessively filled. This explains the West's hyper-consumerism, narcissism, and obsession with things and status.
We obsessively spend our days in the desperate attempt to fill with consumer goods the void intuited at the centre of existence.
The East (even though becoming more and more Westernised every day) has traditionally seen emptiness, not as lack, but as pure potentiality.
That is to say, emptiness is seen as pure allowing. That which allows anything at all to exist.
Emptiness is seen as the generative ground from which anything at all can arise.
#GeorgeHarrison explains his understanding of #Vedanta. Harrison quotes from #Swami #Vivekananda as the inspiritation for his Search For A Higher #Truth.
George Harrison was first exposed to Indian music during the filming of Help! in the Summer of 1965. He sought out Ravi Shankar as a Sitar teacher who gave Harrison books on Vedanta and Swami Vivekananda, who came to American in 1893 to establish Vedanta Centers in New York and San Francisco. Over 30 centers are now scattered across the US and the world.
Harrison had been raised a Cahtholic, but by the age of 15 he renounced it as hypocritical. The Vivekananda quote that grabs his attention and set him on the path of meditation was:
"If there's a God, we must see Him. If there's a soul, we must perceive It; otherwise it's better not to believe."
He got further into meditation during his 1968 trip to India and initiation by the Maharishi.
This was the central factor in the whole rest of his life.-
#Quote from #pa
Do you believe in #God ?
"I believe in Monistic Idealism. This means I believe everything is ultimately one #consciousness. I’m attracted to non-duel philosophies like Neoplatonism or #Advaita #Vedanta. When I was younger I thought that a collective mind would be not as self aware as a little individual mind, but now I don’t think that is the case. A transcendent mind with so much more information could be more aware and powerful. That’s what I think of as God. That’s what makes sense to me. I have had experiences which have proven to me that there is a spiritual world full of spiritual beings, but as far as an ultimate godhead, I guess I don’t know for sure. I like to believe there is though."
The #Enlightened #Life
" #Swami is so well educated -- he has a broad understanding encompassing may fields loosely related to the play of #consciousness -- #Advaita #Vedanta, one without a second is his main subject.
Clever and humorous."
