This is distilled, pure, nourishing wisdom-nectar brought to you by the relentless and selfless toil of dedicated practitioners through thousands of year. Cherish the preciousness of this transmission as it quenches a very deep existential thirst within you.
It was a little hard to understand his English but to the wise this man speaks volumes! I especially took from this mans wisdom is not to judge everything and everyone from the outside. I feel this is very empowering.
I have observed that modern day Buddhists and new age mystics are far more likely to invoke oversimplified lay interpretations of quantum physics in justifying their views than physicists are likely to present their results and findings in terms of Buddhist ideas. Do they still teach monks about "Noble Silence'? I am well aware of the predicaments one encounters in trying to make sense of the world with science alone. I know about the profound dilemmas at every corner in western philosophy. But I will readily trade a monk's tranquility and peace of mind with a scientist's constant intellectual struggle and uncertainty or a philosopher's endless pursuit of consistent and coherent conceptualizations of our place in the world. I don't think about approaching infinity. I think about trying to go a little farther than our predecessors. I don't worry about finding "Happiness", as if it were something to attain. I experience happiness when I grow and when I help others grow.
About the happiness you are talking about here, i wanna add something to it to help make it clearer. The happiness that we get in this conventional world is the mundane happiness or the temporary sensual pleasures which we all think of as the happiness that we're all seeking which is mistaken. No matter what we follow or whatever we do in life, we all seek not just mundane happiness but ultimately we all are seeking for transcendental happiness or long-lasting happiness which Geshe la is talking about. Nobody can deny that fact of our mind as we keep questioning deeper about our internal needs and for others also! Therefore, it's best to categorise happiness into two types: 1. Mundane happiness 2. Transcendental happiness Mundane happiness is great if we find it in life more but we also should remember that it is the bait 🪤 that this conventional reality / samsaric world offering to trap us in this dream-like reality while we can't guarantee how long we'll find the mundane happiness as it's transient always. A wise one will always seek and pursue a transcendental state of happiness / peace / contentment or whatever we wanna call it but we simply can call it happiness right? Thus, dealing with the internal factors of our mind is the best thing to cope up with the miseries and ignorance which is the source of all the sufferings in this world. A light of the wisdom 🌟 which pervades everywhere can dissolve all the darkness of ignorance around us and we see the ultimate truth while also growing with the unbiased ultimate compassion for every living being which helps us to expand our light of the wisdom to solve infinite suffering of oneself and others gradually. Hence, the Buddha nature is within every one of us while a buddhahood is a state where we can exist in every single atom of the universe / multiverse simultaneously which makes it possible to show the wisdom path anyone, anywhere, and at any instantaneous time who's in need and capable of understanding this profound journey towards total fearlessness & achieving the most beautiful mind i.e., the mind of a Bodhisattva (Bodhicitta / Buddha's mind) which is nothing but devoid of all attachments, aversions, and ignorances or afflictions making it omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient mind! Thus, i bow to this quantum theory & all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who show the path to exit this suffering world & also teaches us to be a guiding light ourselves along the way.
Side point. The saffron robe comes from original Indian Buddhism, as the Buddha told his monks to garb themselves in castoffs from the dead or wherever they could find any clothing. The point was always to be dressed in the poorest yet functional clothing possible. In the modern world, that should translate to jeans and T Shirts, which were obtained second hand or free, and which are maintained with needle and thread. This is not what we see. We see monks and teachers wearing impeccable saffron, gold and other garments that proclaims their status and occupation. This was never the intention, and I hope someone revives the old ways.
We're so experts in blaming the external factors always as well indicated by Geshe la himself and not accepting our mind is slow and lazy to grasp all the intricacies & nuances within it 🥲🥴 "If you're not shocked by it, you haven't understood it yet." - Neils Bohr 🌟🌱👍🏻

Believing in one’s perception is the worst of the ignorances.
@@diegomieryterangc this is true, but irrelevant to my point, friend. There are levels to interacting with people, and uppaya is demanding.
@@timothyblazer1749 what I’m saying is that you may be looking at the finger pointing, and not at the moon.
If i had to wear a robe everyday ,id probably like it to be nice
There are already Buddhist teachers, lamas, rinpoches dressing blue jeans and T shirt. Maybe that's why you didn't recognised them?
