Tenzin Palmo: The Nature of the Mind

At the age of 20, Ven. Tenzin Palmo left her home in London for India to pursue her spiritual path. There she met her guru, His Eminence the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche and became one of the first Westerners to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. In 1976, seeking more seclusion and better conditions for practice she found a cave in the Himalayan Valley of Lahaul where she lived for 12 years, the last three in strict retreat. In 2000, she founded the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery to give young nuns of the Drukpa Kagyu Lineage the opportunity to realize their intellectual and spiritual potential.

Beautiful... The world is heading towards self-destruction and the only way to save it is with love and compassion for all beings... may all beings be happy...

- - They reckon ill who leave Me out;

- - When Me they fly, I am the wings;

- - I am the doubter and the doubt,

- - I am the hymn the Brahmin sings.

- - The strong gods pine for My abode,

- - And pine in vain the sacred Seven;

- - But thou, meek lover of the good!

~* Find Me, and turn thy back on heaven. *~

The identification with a false sense of an "I" or ego is the identification with all forms of phenomena including mental phenomena. In this identification we cannot see our Buddha-nature or the noumena.

I don't know what the word 'saint' means if a 'saint' is a person who condones rape and torture. 

[Pollther]

Basically, it comes down to this:

God's right because he says he's right, and if you don't obey you're going to get the tar knocked out of you.

What an example to follow!

"Its... a wonderful life and when I see Jesus on the other side, I'll have eternity to spend with him. You too can have access to this and I want you to"

Even if it's pure bliss, my conscience forbids me from becoming a Christian, just as my conscience forbids me to accept bribes. Your God isn't 'right' simply because he carries a big stick. I won't be coerced.

Do you hear what you're saying?

Finite crimes: infinite punishment. Try and defend it. You can't.

What if my name is Esau?

(Malachi 1:2-3) -

"“I have loved you,” says the Lord.

“But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’

“Was not Esau Jacob's brother?” the Lord says.

“Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.”

What if I love violence?

(Psalm 11:5) - "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates."

What if I do wrong?

(Psalm 5:5) - "The arrogant cannot stand in Your presence;

You hate all who do wrong."

What if I'm a false witness, or I enjoy sowing discord?

(Proverbs 6:16, 19) - "There are six things the Lord hates...a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."

Our bodies certainly feel temporary as we age, but our minds only expand as though it is infinite in itself.

@Pollther: Hey Poll, just want you to know that Jesus loves you and so do I. Let's talk some more. And because I love you Poll with the love of God, I dare not deceive, but only want you turn from your current path which leads to damnation, and embrace the God which leads to eternal life, a blessed assurance, glory divine. Poll, the teachings of these man cannot save you. Only Jesus can. 1 second after you die is the wrong time to start getting a revelation of all this. Praying for you.

@Pollther: I'm very transparent. I'm a saint of God 24/7. I don't change the way I am to suit people, nor do I put on a show. The way you see me on Sunday is the same way I am on Monday - Saturday. My understanding all flows from the King of Kings who is Jesus Christ. I walk with him and am assure that he will not condemn me. Its a blessed walk, a wonderful life and when I see Jesus on the other side, I'll have eternity to spend with him. You too can have access to this and I want you to =).
