Reading Vajra Cutter Sutra

Восемь благих символов буддизма
On the mandala 8 auspicious symbols of Buddhism.

Decided to read sutras all the days before I go in the hospital, I began with Vajra Cutter Sutra and, sincerely, stoped with it because I find different very interesting places to think about.
Bold
If you would like to read this sutra in other language except english, you can open this page of FPMT "Vajra Cutter Sutra" and read it in your language.

Well, the part where I stopped today is on the page 19 of the PDF I mentioned before.
If it is thought that the Tathägata considers, ‘the dharma is demonstrated
by me,’ Subhüti, do not view it like that, because the
dharma that is demonstrated by the Tathägata does not exist
whatsoever. Subhüti, if someone were to say ‘the dharma is demonstrated
by the Tathägata,’ Subhüti, he would deprecate me
since nonexistent and wrongly seized. Why is that? Subhüti, because
that demonstrated dharma called ‘demonstrated dharma,’
which is referred to saying ‘demonstrated dharma,’ does not
exist whatsoever.”
And the other part that touched me is this:
“Subhüti, they are not sentient beings
nor non–sentient beings. Why is that? Subhüti, so-called ‘sentient
beings,’ because they were taught by the Tathägata as non–
sentient beings, therefore are called ‘sentient beings.’
Some persons critizised me when I say that the sutras are nothing other as Dzogchen texts. In the last online ritrit by Namkhai Norbu Rimpoche he said it too and my opponents had to accept it.

The main idea for me that I unfortunatelly can not understand inside my heart.
they are not sentient beings nor non–sentient beings
Dharma do not exist
Samsara and Nirvana do not exist...
All this is nothing else as our dual vision.

I understand it with my mind. But I don't unsderstand it with my heart else...

Spectacular Thai Chi Possibilities

I wrote 2 or 3 times about Thai Chi here. I was impressed by what made my friend Thomas, the healing exercises. I even bought a very interesting book about it -but never had enough time to read more about this system.

I know that it's unpossible to learn such a Teaching without special dedication, but what >I was interesting in were (and are) the healing exercises, as said, and I thought, it's possible to do them with the preparation that I have.

Today I found this video in my Reader and ... you know, I like martial arts.


Hope you will enjoy it. And this similar video too.


Maybe it is not about healing but it's about system.

Relaxation Session With Voice Of The Sea

I ask to pardon me those friends that have just seen this video in my posts about our visit of the beach (The Voice Of The Sea and Our Favourite Beach)

This registration I wanted to make long time ago. If you know the problem, you noticed that it is practically impossible to find a registration of "pure" sounds of the nature in internet. Not only a simple registration but that it is long enough to allow a meditation or relaxation session. It means, it has to be at least 5 minutes long. If it will be possible, I'll make a more long regisration later.

The image is not very good -it is turnd on the side for about 1 minute. Ehhh... Well, I neededthe sound first of all...

What Is Karma

Karma is intention and intentional action.

"Intention" means mental factor that is omnipresent.
"Intentional action" means an action
that was complete, performed under influence of that mental factor.

We are sure to speriment the conseguences of karma if it was performed and
accumulated.
If it was performed but not accumulated we are not sure we will have the conseguences.

I thought, this picture can be interesting for practiсioners because it facilitates the task to see the chakras in the Empty Space.
