The Tibetan Book of Life and DeathThe Tibetan Book of Life and Death

One thing you must know for sure is that the only thing that is hurt by giving and receiving is the thing that hurts you the most: your ego, ego, and ego love, which is the source of pain. If you can constantly practice and receive the Dharma, the ego will become weaker and weaker. On the contrary, your true nature and compassion will have a better chance to become stronger and stronger. The stronger your compassion, the stronger your courage and confidence. Therefore, compassion becomes your greatest resource and protection. As the silent Bodhisattva said: Anyone who wants to provide protection quickly To himself and others, You must practice the sacred secret: Exchange with him. This sacred secret of giving and receiving the Dharma is a secret known to every traditional guru and saint; their lives are filled with joy because they put the giving and receiving of the Dharma into practice in their lives and manifest it with the zeal of transcendence, true wisdom, and true compassion. There is a contemporary person who has devoted her life to serving the sick and dying, and radiates this joy of giving and receiving. She is mother Teresa. As far as the spiritual significance of giving and receiving Dharma is concerned, I don't think there is anything more enlightening than her words: We all hope for the heaven where God is,inflatable amusement park, but at this moment we have the ability. Be with him in heaven. To be happy with him at this time means: Loving as he is, Help like him. Give like him. Serve like him. Save like him. Be with him twenty-four hours a day, Get in touch with him in his incarnation of suffering. It was such a powerful love that cured the leprosy of Zhekavagesi; it may cure our more dangerous disease, the disease of ignorance, which has prevented us from realizing the nature of mind for generations,Inflatable mechanical bull, and therefore from achieving liberation. wWw。 xiaoshuo txt.coM Chapter 13 Spiritual Help for the Dying Say little t. Xt. God . Don I first came to the West in the early 1970s. I am deeply puzzled by the fact that in modern Western civilization, there is almost no spiritual help for the dying. In Tibet, as I have already pointed out, everyone is more or less aware of the sublime truth of Buddhism and has some kind of relationship with the Guru. No one dies without some degree of help from the community. I have heard many stories of Westerners who died in loneliness, extreme pain and disappointment, without any spiritual help. My main motivation for writing this book is to promote the healing wisdom of Tibet to all mankind. When people die, don't they have the right to be treated with dignity, not only physically, but also spiritually? Isn't the right to die with the best spiritual care a basic human right in a civilized society? Until this kind of hospice care becomes the accepted norm, Inflatable indoor park ,Inflatable meltdown, are we really qualified to call ourselves "civilized people"? What is the real meaning of sending a man to the moon when we don't know how to help people who are dying with dignity and hope? Spiritual care is not a luxury for the few; it is a right for everyone, as important as political freedom, medical assistance, and equality of opportunity. The ideal of true democracy, in its basic concept, should include the provision of considerable spiritual care for everyone. Wherever I go in Western countries, I am surprised to find that people's fear of death produces great psychological pain, whether this fear is recognized or not. How reassuring it would be for people to know that they will be lovingly cared for as they lie there waiting to die! People suffering from incurable diseases feel extremely frightened at the thought that they will be discarded like waste. It is really cruel that Western culture lacks the ability to cope with death and denies any spiritual value. In Tibet, it is a natural response to pray for the dying and give them spiritual care. In the West, the only spiritual attention most people give to the dying is to attend their funerals. It is a tragedy and a shame that people are abandoned in their most vulnerable moments, with little support or care, and it must be improved. Unless everyone passes away feeling some measure of peace, unless some effort is made to achieve this goal, the modern pride of power and achievement will be hollow. At the bedside of the dying person: I have a friend who graduated from a famous medical school and started working in a large London hospital. On the first day, four or five people died in the ward. It was a terrible thing for her; she had never been trained to deal with death. Isn't it terrible that her doctor's education did not give her training in this area? There was an old man lying in a hospital bed, staring at the wall with his eyes wide open. He had no relatives or friends to visit, and he longed for someone to talk to. She went over to see him. With tears in her eyes and a trembling voice, the old man asked a question she had never expected: "Do you think God will forgive my sins?" My friend didn't know how to answer; her training left her completely unprepared to answer any mental questions. She has nothing to say but to hide behind the professional status of doctors. With no priest nearby, she stood paralyzed, unable to answer the patient's pleas for help and affirmation. In pain and confusion, she asked me, "What would you say?" I told her that I would sit beside the old man, hold his hand and let him speak. I was repeatedly surprised to find that by simply letting her speak and listening compassionately and intently, they would say things of great spiritual depth, even if they had no spiritual beliefs. Everyone has his own life wisdom, and when you let the other person speak, you are letting this life wisdom appear. I am often touched to discover how much each person can help others to discover their own truth, which is richer, sweeter, and deeper than they ever expected. Deep within every human being are sources of healing and awakening; it is your job,inflatable water slide, under no circumstances, to impose your beliefs on others, but to allow them to discover these sources in themselves. joyshineinflatables.com
