What we often do not realize is that those in halls of power who seem so crazy and harmful and those weapons of mass destruction which threaten our very existence... are very much products of OUR minds. Not someone else's. Not the enemy. Not those in that other political party. Until we accept each of our roles in this interconnected web of existence and that we each must disable our own weapons of mass destruction, will we ever free ourselves of our collective insanity. Compassion and wisdom are critical and not only must we examine how we feel inside, but we must express that compassion and wisdom in the world. Save our planet, save our family, save ourselves. The Kalachakra Tantra shows us that what is outside, is within, and what is within is outside. We are on the brink of our annihilation, hanging by the thread. But in that moment is also infinite possibility to transform everything.

Any Kanter, very wise und clear words. Thank you. Vey important point. Greetings from Austria.

WIthout knowledge this cannot be done. It's taken me years to realize how little I know (I already was somewhat aware of this), and more to know how much I'd missed. Very painful to see how many opportunities you've missed, but I suppose that's a necessary part of the equation.

The myth of the Shambhala Kingdom is a fascinating tale originating from Tibetan Buddhism. It's believed to be a hidden kingdom, a utopia, or a mythical land of wisdom and enlightenment, often associated with the concept of a pure land. According to the myth, only the pure in heart can find and enter Shambhala, which is said to be hidden somewhere in the Himalayas. Many seekers have tried to find it, both physically and spiritually, but it remains a mystical legend with no concrete evidence of its existence.

Choegyal Rinpoché: -Llegará una época en la que toda la vida sobre la Tierra estará en peligro. En esa época habrán aparecido grandes potencias; potencias bárbaras. Aunque dilapidan su riqueza en preparativos para aniquilarse entre sí, tienen mucho en común: armas de muerte y destrucción inconcebibles, y tecnologías que arrasarán el mundo. Y es precisamente entonces, cuando todo el futuro de todos los seres penderá del más frágil de los hilos, cuando surgirá el reino de Shambhala. »No podemos ir allí, no es un lugar. Existe en el corazón y la mente de los guerreros de Shambhala. En realidad, no podemos saber a simple vista quién es un guerrero o una guerrera de Shambhala porque no llevan uniformes ni insignias ni ondean banderas. No tienen barricadas a las que subir para amenazar al enemigo o tras las cuales descansar y reagruparse. Ni siquiera tienen tierra natal, pues deben moverse por siempre jamás por el terreno de las potencias bárbaras. »Este es el momento en el que los guerreros de Shambhala necesitarán una gran valentía; valentía moral y valentía física, porque van a ir al mismísimo corazón del poder bárbaro para desmantelar sus armas. Armas en todos los sentidos de la palabra: las bombas y armamentos, fabricadas y desplegadas, y los pasillos del poder donde se toman las decisiones, para desmantelar las armas. »Los guerreros de Shambhala saben que estas armas pueden desmantelarse porque son manomaya, están hechas con la mente. Están hechas por la mente humana y la mente humana puede desmantelarlas. Porque los desastres que nos amenazan y se despliegan no son causados por una fuerza extraterrestre o alguna deidad satánica o ni siquiera por un destino inamovible. Surgen de nuestras relaciones y nuestras prioridades y nuestros hábitos. Están hechos por la mente humana y la mente humana puede deshacerlos. Así pues, ha llegado el momento -dijo- de que los guerreros de Shambhala se entrenen.» -¿Cómo se entrenan? -dije yo. -Se entrenan en el uso de dos armas. -¿Cuáles son? -pregunté. Y entonces sostuvo las manos como los lamas sostienen los objetos rituales en las grandes danzas de los lamas y dijo: -Una es la compasión y la otra, el conocimiento profundo de la interdependencia radical de todos los fenómenos. Y necesitamos ambas, una sola no basta. Necesitamos la compasión porque nos proporciona el combustible, la fuerza motriz que nos hace salir e ir a donde tenemos que estar para hacer lo que tenemos que hacer. Cuando no tenemos miedo del sufrimiento de nuestro mundo nada puede detenernos. Pero eso por sí solo es demasiado caliente, puede quemarnos. Así que necesitamos la otra, necesitamos esa sabiduría, ese conocimiento profundo de la pertenencia mutua de todo lo que está entretejido en el entramado de la vida. Y cuando tenemos eso, vemos, sabemos que no se trata de una guerra entre buenos y malos, pues la línea que separa el bien y el mal recorre el paisaje de todos los corazones humanos. Y estamos tan entretejidos en el entramado de la vida que hasta el más pequeño de los actos realizados con una intención clara tiene repercusiones en todo ese entramado en formas que apenas vemos. »Pero eso -dijo- es un poco frío por sí solo, y por eso necesitamos el calor de la compasión. Y si miras a los monjes tibetanos recitando, verás muchas veces que en sus puyas [rituales] mueven las manos haciendo mudras; están representando la danza de la interacción entre karuna y prajna, entre la compasión y la sabiduría.»

I wish this can be translated into English. Thanks.

[@privatprivat7279]

what does she mean with ? 5:37 "radical independence of the phenomenon" i dont know what she means by that ,+ the fact that english isnt my native language and i have a hard time translating it

[@jeanettewilsonhealer]

radical interdependence rather that independence - all is connected, all depends on all else

[@tsheringzd]

Probably means Wisdom to understand emptiness

[@pribandara9293]

It is interesting listening to this knowledge from Tibetan Buddhism in 2023. There is so much evil indeed. The weapons they use against humanity are quite unbelievable - incredibly sophisticated and equally mean. So, let us arm ourselves with compassion towards all beings and insight/wisdom. Let's all shape our lives to be like Bodhisattvas. May peace and loving kindness fill every heart.

Chogyam didn't invent it. And he destroyed his own legacy

[@ObamasTheBeast]

@@Bigphillystyle254 Trungpa just invented stuff about Shambhala. He was not a scholarly lama. I did five years of Tibetan at Pairs INALCO University, went to Tibet twice and researched the Kalachakra. I speak six languages, of which English, Norwegian and French as mother tongues and Tibetan, German and Spanish as second tongues. I found Shambhala and I'm passing it on to these that agree to talk about it. I'm on KZbin, Skype and private email. (I'm Geir Smith, a Norwegian-American living and married in France.)
