Questions & Answers. [EN-PT] Zoom 12.2024. Part 37.

11th December 2024. James Low had invited questions from people watching his Zooms, which he began to answer. Portuguese translation: Milton Petruczok P1) Qual é a relação entre sabedoria e compaixão? P2) Como trabalhar com pensamentos obsessivos, fantasias e memórias que surgem durante o dia? P3) Como abandonar um forte apego a uma pessoa que causa dor? P4) Não consigo abandonar meus sentimentos. Eu apenas fico com eles até que desapareçam. Como viver com essa dor? P5) Alguém pode ganhar um renascimento afortunado em uma terra pura de Buda, como Sukavati, se não tiver alcançado trekchö estável nesta vida como ser humano? P6) Se você pode ganhar renascimento em uma terra pura, como isso poderia acontecer no bardo? P7) Como o tummo apoia o trekchö? P8) Na doença, há um equilíbrio entre buscar remédios — medicina ortodoxa ou holística — e apenas estar com o que é e permitir que qualquer condição presente encontre seu próprio movimento de cura? P9) Alguém enviou uma citação de Padmasambava. Quando ele nasceu, ele fez esta declaração: "Meu pai é Samantabadra e minha mãe é Samantabadri." Essas são as duas formas que vemos na união sexual — a forma unida do Buda primordial. "Eu pertenço à família da não-dualidade, da esfera da consciência. Meu nome é o Glorioso Nascido do Lótus. Eu consumo conceitos de dualidade como minha dieta. Eu sou a esfera não-nascida de todos os fenômenos." O que isso significa?

Questions & Answers. [EN-PL] Zoom 12.2024. Part 37

11th December 2024. James Low had invited questions from people watching his Zooms, which he began to answer. Polish translation: Bartłomiej Czajkowski P1) Jaki jest związek między mądrością i współczuciem? P2) Jak pracować z obsesyjnymi myślami, fantazjami i wspomnieniami, które powstają w ciągu dnia? P3) Jak odpuścić silne przywiązanie do osoby, która powoduje ból? 23:08 Nie mogę puścić moich uczuć, po prostu pozostaję z nimi, dopóki nie znikną. Jak przeżyć taki ból? P4) Czy można uzyskać szczęśliwe odrodzenie w czystej krainie Buddy, takiej jak Sukhawati, jeżeli nie osiągnie się stabilnego Tregczo za ludzkiego życia? P5) Czy można uzyskać odrodzenie w czystej krainie podczas bardo? P6) Jak Tummo wspiera praktykę Trekczo? P7) Czy w trakcie choroby istnieje balans między szukaniem lekarstw – czy to ortodoksyjnych, czy holistycznych – a po prostu przebywaniem z tym co jest, pozwalając na to, żeby ten stan, jakikolwiek by nie był, sam znalazł swój leczniczy ruch? P8) Ktoś przesłał cytat z Padmasambhawy. Gdy się narodził, wygłosił następujące stwierdzenie: "Moim ojcem jest Samantabhadra, a matką – Samantabhadri." (To te dwie formy, które widzimy w cielesnym połączeniu — zjednoczona forma pierwotnego Buddy). "Należę do rodziny niedwoistości sfery obecności. Moje imię to Wspaniały Zrodzony Z Lotosu. Pochłaniam koncepcje dwoistości w ramach mojej diety. Jestem nie zrodzoną sferą wszystkich zjawisk." Co to znaczy?

Questions & Answers. [EN-DE] Zoom 12.2024. Part 37

11th December 2024. James Low had invited questions from people watching his Zooms, which he began to answer. German translation: Robert Jaroslawski F1) In welcher Beziehung stehen Weisheit und Mitgefühl zueinander? F2) Wie geht man mit zwanghaften Gedanken, Fantasien und Erinnerungen um, die im Laufe des Tages auftauchen? F3) Wie kann man eine starke Anhaftung an eine Person, die Schmerzen bereitet, loslassen? F4) Ich kann meine Gefühle nicht loslassen. Ich bleibe einfach bei ihnen, bis sie verschwinden. Wie kann man diesen Schmerz durchleben? F5) Kann man eine glückliche Wiedergeburt in einem reinen Buddha-Land wie Sukavati erlangen, wenn man in diesem Leben als Mensch kein stabiles Trekchö erreicht hat? F6) Wenn man eine Wiedergeburt in einem reinen Land erlangen kann, wie könnte dies im Bardo geschehen? F7) Wie unterstützt Tummo Trekchö? F8) Gibt es bei Krankheit ein Gleichgewicht zwischen der Suche nach Heilmitteln – schulmedizinisch oder ganzheitlich – und dem einfachen Sein mit dem, was ist, und dem Zulassen, dass der jeweilige Zustand seine eigene heilende Bewegung findet? F9) Jemand hat ein Zitat von Padmasambhava geschickt. Als er geboren wurde, gab er diese Erklärung ab: „Mein Vater ist Samantabhadra und meine Mutter ist Samantabhadri.“ Dies sind die beiden Formen, die wir in der sexuellen Vereinigung sehen – die vereinte Form des ursprünglichen Buddha. „Ich gehöre zur Familie der Nicht-Dualität, zur Sphäre der Bewusstheit. Mein Name ist der Glorreiche Lotusgeborene. Ich verzehre Konzepte der Dualität als meine Nahrung. Ich bin die ungeborene Sphäre aller Phänomene.“ Was bedeutet das?

The Intrinsic is Always Already Present. East Sussex 06.2024. Part 2 of 2.

6th to 9th June 2024. Always already present! Dzogchen summer retreat at Emerson College, in East Sussex, United Kindgdom. https://simplybeing.co.uk/events/always-already-present-dzogchen-camping-retreat-emerson-college-2024/ “The focus of this short retreat is on directly opening to our mind as it is. Our intrinsic presence is not created by others, by our own effort, or by circumstances. It is not a construct and it is not like anything we know. By dis-identifying with our constructive habits we will set them free to vanish where they are. This reveals our own source of which we are the non-dual display.” James Low Organised by Huw Wyn and recorded by Gareth Williams.
