Samurai philosophy in modern time

This post is a new bread post I have decide to put true, come from different way to practice the path and also this reflection come from the modern way of Bushido as most of us not just practice the Tibetan Buddhism I have decide to all the way to the path by this introduction post.




In modern time we live hardship and sometime great time, can be compare to the past over the war time and peaceful time, in our life we face all kind of crisis and on that some of us are really prepare and some other are really not prepare.


When we look on warriors philosophy the Samurai philosophy for us Buddhist sound quite good because there's both dedication and also compassion on it.


Also the bushido have bring us some great values and when we look to our modern society sometimes we have to think “yes” we need values to keep going.



So the bushido bring nine virtues to cultivate and this virtues are link to the bodhisattva virtues, in Japan buddhism and samurai was really close to each others and even if the society was not far they have also bring sense of peace and of virtue.





In our chaotic time when everything move like storm around us we have to be able to stand like a warrior in next post I will develop the Bushido for modern time.

Mahamudra and Dzongchen

The Drukpa talk about Mahamudra and Dzongchen as the same thing just different word for the name enlightenment, when we go deeper in this two tradition we can see that they are pretty similar.


So what's really difference between this two tradition ?


Mahamudra come from Dorje Chang / Vajradara and Dzongchen come from Garab Dorje, the both tradition have there way to be transmit.


For the mahamudra the approach is different with the lineage with the emphasis on the view and also work with the contemplation and recollection and mantra recitation.


The Dzongchen is like a strait instruction to the nature of mind see as the great perfection, not renaming in doubt and remain in the state.


What is the great difference between the two as say the Drukpa there's no difference, the both tradition talking both about the same thing, also the way to transmit is more graduate into the mahamudra when the dzongchen will go strait to the point.



In our time the both tradition working hands together there's lot mahamudra practitioner who are also dzongchen practitioner, at the end we love put label to what is enlightenment but in all there's the same view of love, compassion and wisdom.

911

*Please like and share* - a special message from His Holiness Karmapa Thaye Dorje about nonviolence and compassion on September 11th. Dear dharma friends, September 11th marks the anniversary of the tragic events in New York and Washington in 2001. Nearly 3000 people were killed in the attacks, causing huge suffering and loss, still felt to this day. In the face of violence, where is there hope? When we look into the events on that day, behind the smoke and destruction, we see numerous acts of compassion. Emergency services, volunteers, people of all backgrounds stretching out their hands and hearts to help each other. The human heart, Bodhicitta, is the most precious of all. While Buddhas are helpful in life, the compassionate heart is even more precious than a Buddha. In the human heart, we see limitless hope. September 11th also marks the anniversary of when Mohandas Gandhi started the modern nonviolent movement. On this day in 1906, Satyagraha, the force of love or truth which flows from nonviolence, was born. This compassionate movement inspired Martin Luther King Jr, and countless others, to follow a nonviolent path. This compassionate movement lifted up the preciousness of the human heart, and the hope that flows from kindness. As Gandhi said 'Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.' On this day, I appeal to your hearts, remember those who suffer. On this day, I appeal to your hearts, let compassion flow.  Gautama Buddha said 'Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.' On this day, I appeal to your precious human hearts, may you share words that bring peace to all sentient beings.
