Best Wishes for the Chinese New Year of the Rooster!

How Should One Face “Happiness and Sufferings”!

 The Chinese New Year of the Rooster is just around the corner.  Some people say that the past year went by very quickly, while some others say that it was full of hardships.  As a Dharma practitioner, one should only ask how is the progress of one’s own Dharma practice? Whether it has been done well or not, fast or slow?  While most ordinary people would feel and reflect upon their own past on a scale of happiness and pain,  as Dharma practitioners, especially for those who have already reached a certain level of spiritual realization, we should focus our minds to review on our own Dharma practices.   

When Dharma practitioners experience happiness, they would feel joyful. Yet, this kind of feeling should be used to further enhance one’s own practice, and should not be for one’s own indulgence. Furthermore, they should dedicate this feeling of happiness to all our motherly sentient beings. They should also be most grateful for the blessings of the Gurus, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Dharma protectors.  It is only by so doing will one’s "mind-training" practice be making real progress, and then one will be spiritually uplifted and to become even more happy.   

When Dharma practitioners experience sufferings, they would feel the pain. Yet, this kind of feeling should also be used to advance one’s own practice, and should not be the reason for one to wallow in self-degradation. Neither should this be the reason for one to sink into self-pitying, nor to curse those whom one think might be against oneself, all of which might only lead to having one’s spiritual downfall.  Furthermore, they should not be doubtful as to whether they were blessed by the Gurus, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Dharma protectors or not.  More important is that Dharma practitioners should not become superstitious, due to this feeling, in seeking for the advice of Feng Shui, and so on.  Instead, they should avoid to be led by the nose due to superstitions.   

As Dharma practitioners, it is very clear that if one cannot transform sufferings into positive energy, then all of one's actions will only add in more negative karmas to oneself. As a result, one will only continue to move downwards spiritually in one’s future lifetimes, and this is the "cause and effect". Understanding the origins of the "causes and conditions" will lead one to make wiser life choices, which will in turn help one to reap good "fruitions".  In this way, in knowing how to face "Happiness and Sufferings" is also part of one’s own Dharma practice  

For this coming new year, we sincerely wish that all of you will be so full of wisdom of improving oneself in becoming a very progressive Dharma practitioner.  Good health, full of love and joy, and with great progress on the Bodhi Path (Road to Enlightenment)! 

Vajra Masters Yeshe Thaye & Pema Lhadren,

on behalf of the Sangha members of

the Dudjom Buddhist (International).

Solemn Declaration on the Misappropriation of the Name, Logo, Name Plaque and Products of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong 

The “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong has recently discovered that: there are some greedy and crooked persons, who act in the name of the Holy Dharma and only know how to use drums and bells for the “empowerment” ceremonies in pretending to spread the Holy Dharma, but do not know how to explain the genuine Buddhist Holy Dharma in great depths. Out of their great jealousy in trying to prevent the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong to disseminate the genuine Buddhist Holy Dharma, they have thus misappropriated the name of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong by using the photo of our name plaque to put on their online store at the Taobao website in order to promote their own businesses at extremely unreasonable prices, and thus intend to defame us and to undermine the good reputation of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong. Please refer to the photo enclosed here. 冒認牌匾

Furthermore, these despicable crooked persons have further misappropriated both the design and the products of a Buddhist pendant (“a protection emblem of the Goddess Sitatapatra” made by our Association to help protect the Buddhist believers by wearing it) of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong, and has falsely claimed that it contains the ingredient of “Sky Iron” (meteoric iron, Tib. Thokcha, or in Wylie: gnam lcags) with the power of blessing, such that they could greatly mark up the price of this pendant from the original cost of only Hk$100 to Rmb$580 in order to earn a great profit. On top of that, they have again misappropriated and tampered with the contents of the journal “Light of Lotus”, published by the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong, in becoming their promotional description in order to make profits. Please refer to the two photos enclosed here. 冒認掛章 1  冒認掛章 2

The negative nature of these hellish greedy crooked persons not only want to earn money, but they would seriously want to defame and destroy the good reputation of the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong in order to prevent our Association from forcefully and directly lash out their indiscriminate acts in holding “empowerment” ceremonies so as to make profits and to cheat on the Buddhist believers.  

Under the disguise in benefiting and blessing others, in the name of the Buddhist Holy Dharma, these greedy crooked persons have continually hurt the Buddhist believers by poisoning their minds in becoming more and more superstitious and greedy. And by making connections with these crooked persons, many Buddhist believers have unknowingly fallen prey to their vicious and negative magnetic fields. More importantly, by participating in these indiscriminate “empowerment” ceremonies, many Buddhist believers will most unfortunately and eventually be dragged down to be reborn into the three lower realms.  

In order to prevent these greedy crooked persons from continually and massively held indiscriminate “empowerment” ceremonies to cheat on the Buddhist believers, the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong want to heartily advise all Buddhist believers not to fall into the traps of these fraudsters. In order to further pursue on the liabilities caused by these crooked persons for the recent event, the “Dudjom Buddhist Association (International)” in Hong Kong will take legal actions as necessary.

THE ANCIENT WISDOM OF BUDDHISM FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM!

 

The coming of a New Millennium will definitely have long-term effects for humankind. The effect of globalization in the world’s political economy, together with the coming of the network society, brings us into a whole new era of dynamism and reintegration of human forms of behavior and thinking patterns. Yet, at the same time, we will have to dis-engage ourselves with the old ways of life, in order to re-engage ourselves in the new modes of life ahead of us. Similarly, we have to de-condition ourselves in our various social and cultural conditionings, in order to re-condition ourselves in new modes of social and cultural arenas and their underpinnings.

       The bringing forth of “virtual realities” in the global context, while surfing on the tidal wave of information technology around the world, is becoming more and more a part of our daily activities in this new era. Deep down inside, for all Buddhists, we know that the whole universe and its human drama are nothing more than just one such huge “virtual reality” created by the “deluge of collective karma”, which will bring about a new and dynamic approach in the ways human life and relationships are to be organized and compartmentalized in the decades ahead. This social construction of reality will leave us more vividly with the relative notions of “space” and “time” as we enter into this New Age of Information Technology.

        The vacuity of modern day living, while materialistically affluent, is spiritually undermined and decadent, and becomes totally hollow within our own human soul. It is in this new age that we need to redefine ourselves, as well as to re-position ourselves in the universe, in order to make spiritual sense out of our own survival in this human jungle of social existence. While crossing the threshold of a new millennium, we are entering into an ever-changing and daring period in the new frontiers on the mysteries of life and the universe. With the decoding of DNA secrets and the genetic engineering that life sciences have brought us new discoveries in the microcosmic world, as well as other new paradigms in the macrocosmic world, all of which are bringing us to a new “weltanschaungen” of the universe and our place in it.

        Carl Sagan, the Cornell physicist-astronomer-philosopher, in this Introduction to Professor Stephen W. Hawking’s international bestseller A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (Bantam Books, 1988) mentions: “We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world.... In this book are lucid revelations on the frontiers of physics, astronomy, cosmology, and courage. This is also about God… or perhaps about the absence of God… And this makes the more unexpected the conclusion of the effort, at least so far: a universe with no edge in space, no beginning or end in time, and nothing for a Creator to do.” These daring words brings home the message on the ancient wisdom of Buddhism, and that we will need a “re-evaluation of values”, to use Nietzsche’s term, so as to help us learn the Real Treasures within us! Indeed, this new 21st century has been predicted as an Era of Spirituality!

        To be able to come to terms with ourselves, we need to de-construct the meanings in our present socio-economic/political constructs, as well as in our socio-psychological and physiological structures of human beings, so as to re-construct new meanings in our lives by putting all these into a holistic and global perspective. National economies and nation-states will be collapsed into the “black hole” of globalization, resulting in the shrinking of the globe in terms of space and time. On the other hand, the establishment of virtual reality is expanding, like the “big bang theory”, such that more and more smaller worlds (each in their own rights) will be formed in people’s social networks and circles in this new Information Community. It is to this extent that the ancient wisdom of Buddhism can help to provide us with new insights to the perennial questions in human life and to prepare ourselves for the “paradigm shift” of this new millennium.

        Life and death, being the core of such kind of perennial questions which transcends temporal, spatial, religious, ideological, racial, ethnic, national and cultural boundaries, is an important topic for our daily life in the contemporary world. In making sense of the spiritual dimension in our everyday life, “mind training” is an important ingredient of Dharma practice. In trading our minds, we can then have a better appreciation and application of “the interplay and interface of Dharma practice with everyday life”, a topic to be specially dedicated for this new age, which we think will have particular significance for contemporary living of the 21st century. This is, indeed, the Art of Living in our modern life for the New Millennium!

        Finally, we sincerely pray for both our most beloved Root Guru His Holiness Chatral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche and the Holy Dharma to remain firm and steadfast in this world forever, for the benefits of all our motherly sentient beings, as limitless as the sky! 

Sarva Mangalam
