——————————————————————————–

Human beings have a capacity for observing. Outside she/he observes nature, other people, animals, her/his body; inside feelings and thoughts. The observation includes the existence of the observer. The observer (in Buddhism named watcher) is a consistent part of Eastern spiritual tradition and is evident in our daily life: in every moment of our life we can enter the observer and observe. My thesis was that the observer has also the capacity for self-observation and self-cognition. After five years of inner observation (vipassana) the observer in me discovered “the infinite sea of the inner light” – Consciousness (in Budhism named Sunjata or also Emptiness) and recognized it as himself. My thesis was right: the observer is a

Change your Mind Change your Brain: The Inner Conditions – Matthieu Ricard

If happiness is an inner state, influenced by external conditions but not dependent on them, how can we achieve it? Ricard will examine the inner and outer factors that increase or diminish our sense of well-being, dissect the underlying mechanisms of happiness, and lead us to a way of looking at the mind itself based on his book, Happiness: A Guide to Life’s Most Important Skill and from the research in neuroscience on the effect of mind-training on the brain.

Studies in Buddhadharma – On Bodhicitta

“In brief, the Awakened Mind
Should be understood to be of two types ;
The mind that aspires to awaken
And the mind that ventures to do so.”
Śântideva : A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, I:15.

“Thus, whoever wishes to swiftly protect
Both themselves and others
Should practice that holy secret :
The exchanging of self for others.”
Śântideva : A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, VIII:120.

“Bodhicitta” or “awakened mind”, “mind of enlightenment”

Gangaji, “Silencing the Mind”

Gangaji shows us that there is no distinction between inner and outer silence

Mind has no physical limitations.

For example, when someone is troubled by a mental disorder, some people may hastily conclude that a spirit has taken possession of that person’s mind. If you fully believe that only your true inner self, Juingong, can lead you, then how could anything else enter you? Even if some ghost were to enter you, you must let go of the thought that they are within you. If you cannot let go of that thought, how can that spirit leave you? Also, why do you think that the spirit or someone else is different from you? Even if a spirit enters you, it’s still like putting one drop of water into a bowl of water. I have said this many times, but people spend years
