How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free? How many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?
The cycle is intensifying. In times of great distress it is helpful to look at the horizon, not down at the ants biting one’s legs.
We’re trying to establish a Transcendent Nation. This is about realizing that fighting over pieces of earth and dominating other people’s belief systems is outmoded. This is a chance to see through duality in a most practical way. This is not about Chinese and Tibetans, old and young, but a unified humanity.
In order for healing to occur, there is an intensification of feeling ill at ease. That is the critical time to be still. This leads to purification of the energy and ultimately realization of emptiness. With the restoration of Shambhala on Earth, there is going to be a process of purification.
As Vajrayana Buddhists, we need to ride the currents with our bodhisattva intent. The young people need to orient to the elders and respect the values of the elders. These are time-tested truths.
All the lamas who have spent their entire lives, generations upon generations, will not be destroyed by a few thrown stones. Compassion is the only alternative.
Have you forgotten that all beings are your mothers? How many lives do you want to spend in the hell-realms?
Change is here. Hold steady. As a great sage asked, “How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?”
