The other day...
The other
day ...I questioned myself about my practice...
I really have faith in the fact that the enlighten ones like Padma Shambhava will help me if I recite his seven – line prayer said with a skull drum played rhythmically and at the same time reciting it or singing it in a low pitch. ...Nevertheless, they will certainly not walk my path for me. Then I thought...
It would be nice to have Michael here to sing an Erma Doha song for me..., but that would not do the trick either...because I really don’t know if I understand de Dohas or the prayer right. Actually, I really don’t know for sure if I have the basics right...see
The image of Miyagi from Karate kid came to my mind...

”when you
are uncertain of your practice return to practice the basics”... immediately my
mind sewer was opened ...
What does awareness really mean?...what is real mindfulness like? ...Love?...Compassion?...what is the true meaning of this?...when will my imagination stop tricking me? Making me believe I am practicing the real thing? ...meanwhile... deluded I’m going nowhere...
Then a Dhammapadha verse came out...
A fool who knows his foolishness
is wise at least to that extent,
but a fool who thinks himself wise
is a fool indeed.
Perhaps if the Sangha shares its point of view about these things with me it would help me.
Namo Sanghaya!

One day in Bodh Gaya some time ago...
It is said
that soon after his enlightenment the Buddha passed a man a common peasant on
the road who was struck by the Buddha's extraordinary radiance and peaceful
presence. The man stopped and asked,
My friend, what are you?
Are you a celestial being or a god?
Are you a celestial being or a god?
No
said the Buddha
Well, then, are you some kind of
magician or wizard?
again the Buddha answered
No
Are you a man?
No
Well, my friend, then what are you? the
Buddha replied
I am awake
Some days
after... his close friends and/or first followers used to call him Siddhartha,
but now they were confused because they didn’t know how to call him
anymore...so they asked him...
should we call you Bud-light, or precious one,
or your holiness or perhaps your eminence?
NO
You should
call me Tataghata
And what is
that Precious?
The one who
has gone beyond and came back.
Tataghata Om Muni Muni Maha Munaye Swaha
