Thats a nice meaning but, to live long means we have to have a happy beautiful body or life kind of is hell, the people who are content seem to be the ones with beautifull bodies, if one has beauty then one attracts everything one needs easly otherwise having an unattractice body means one just attracts hell constantly right
I think the practice of extending our life has taken a back seat for most people in Buddhism simply because they think they will live for a long time and have plenty of chances to practice the Dharma. However, habits gets stronger and our attachments keep adding up while our merits will run eventually run out and sometimes faster than we think. Look at Michael Jackson, his merit run out...
I guess all of us will have to engage in one or another way to extend life. Whether it is to release animals or support institutions that heal people etc... I guess the best way would be to do our Dharma work or to become a pure and real monk and nun.
HE Tsem Tulku Rinpoche said that the best puja is doing real Dharma work and the best way to extend life is becoming ordained as a Sangha member. How auspicious way to end one's life and prepare for the next.
Long life practices are under-rated practices and we really need to focus on them because we need to maximize the spiritual life we can do in this life.
I believe the sole cause for the Long Life of our Lama is by us keeping our Samaya! We hold our commitments or we take up more commitments in the organization. In extending Rinpoche's life, we extend our own because we are doing Dharma work.
Kechara Oasis has many other patrons who are Indians and Malays who like the taste of vegetarian food cooked in varieties of ways. The Mango Pudding was our favorite.
Thank you Rinpoche for your excellent
and profound teachings. I pray that
Rinpoche may continue to have a
good and healthy life so that Rinpoche
may be able to continue to spread the dharma for the sake of all sentient beings.
