Tibetan monk Za Rinpoche identifies awareness of life's struggles as a necessary step towards personal enlightenment.

-----

Za Rinpoche shows us The Backdoor To Enlightenment.

Za Rinpoche, a Tibetan monk, first came to the world's attention when his life story was chronicled in the first chapter of Po Bronson's bestseller, What Should I Do with My Life?

While growing up in a refugee camp in Southern India, Za Rinpoche was recognized by the Dalai Lama as the sixth reincarnation of the Za Choeje Rinpoche.

Now, in The Backdoor To Enlightenment, he shares with us the keys to immediate, profound realization and lasting peace, revealing the secrets to enlightenment that have remained hidden in the distant reaches of the Himalayas for more than a thousand years.

This revolutionary work stands out as a smart, clear guide, showing step-by-step how you can use these deep truths to transform every aspect of your life.

Za Rinpoche is the founder of the Emaho Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Scottsdale, Arizona, dedicated to sharing Tibetan culture with the West, supporting humanitarian projects, and assisting with personal spiritual development - Cody's Books

Za Choeje Rinpoche was identified by H.H. the Dalai Lama as the sixth reincarnation of ZaChoeje Rinpoche. At the age of 16 he entered Drepung Loseling Monastery where, after ten years of study, he graduated with the Geshe Lharampa degree and continued his studies at Gyume Tantric College in India.

I said we CREATE our own prisons... this is done by repeating cause and conditions leading to continued ignorance. Not an easy cycle to break.

[paulrichardschuster]

the idea is to improve YOURSELF. A teacher cannot do that for you. They only point the way. Slavery creating engine? We all create our own prisons.

unlocking the back door is a tricky metaphor to use in the bay area.

@marcosacha Hey, how are you? He talks about enlightenment as not being removed from the world, but actively engaging with the world, with suffering and struggling. So I don't think it's right to sit there watching the massacre of innocent people if you can do something about it. Thich Nhat Hanh called this "engaged buddhism", and actively but nonviolently opposed the vietnam war. However, I don't consider nonviolence an absolute principle. eg. I think violent resistance was justified in WWII.

Exactly right. Can't stop having the same things happen in our lives if we don't stop doing the same things.

[tiuric77]

that's true as well. The people who the religions are patterned after often did the exact opposite of what most religions do and teach. However that is just the misinterperitation of people who did not understand. The proper message is usually still in there some where.

[tiuric77]

exactly it's rare that a persons problems can be blamed solely on someone else. Everything is our own responsibility.
