May we grow stronger and wiser with each passing day

[@maitreyabadra2267]

Each passing day in the cycle of samsara is the bardo of ignorance. As long as the sense of the false self persists in the body of ignorance of multiplicity of the phenomena....

This book was a sensation when translated by Evanz Wentze in the !920s until the 60s Guri Padma Sambhava said that any connection is greatly beneficial

Buddhism is not about magic, rituals, and radical ways of thinking. True Buddhism is simplicity. I am a Zen monk living in Japan. I know Zen is not entirely Buddhist either. But I look at other forms of Buddhism and think they’re way off Tamark. Chief of which, is Tibetan, Buddhism, and its counterpart here in Japan SHINGON Buddhism. Remember, Buddhism is simplicity, not complexity!

There are many different schools of Buddhism and if everyone of us learn the essence of the Buddha’s teaching and not deluge with new fashionable new age trends, then we can keep Buddhism alive…..

Bardo = birth to death, if we learn to meditate everyday on our existence: birth>living> death, then we might lose fear of death…..???
