Renegade

An outlaw; a rebel.

By and large, human beings tend to prefer to fit in to society by following accepted rules of etiquette and being gentle, polite and respectful. The irony is that this is also how most people imagine a spiritual person should behave. When a so-called dharma practitioner is seen to behave badly, we shake our heads over her audacity at presenting herself as a follower of the Buddha. Yet such judgements are better avoided, because to "fit in" is not what a genuine dharma practitioner strives for. Think of Tilopa, for example. He looked so outlandish that if he turned up on your doorstep today, odds are you would refuse to let him in. And you would have a point. He would most probably be almost completely naked; if you were lucky, he might be sporting some kind of G-string; his hair would never have been introduced to shampoo; and protruding from his mouth would quiver the tail of a live fish. What would your moral judgement be of such a being? "Him! A Buddhist? But he's tormenting that poor creature by eating it alive!" This is how our theistic, moralistic and judgemental minds work. In fact, they work in a very similar way to those of the world's more puritanical and destructive religions. Of course, there is nothing necessarily wrong with morality, but the point of spiritual practice, according to the vajrayana teachings, is to go beyond all our concepts, including those of morality.

this blog today after long time is a good reminder for us to do not wanted to fit to much in our society.

When we look to our society, to be honest the honest people work like hell to get a job or even a pay when the dishonest people get full furnish flat by our joyous government, so yes east or west or system is totally screw up not just for that, but most of the time to be good with our society, we have to follow so much the social norm that we loose or identity.

Rebel in our time are fashion and show picture on Facebook what kind of rebel is that, Madona ?

Even worst Dharma become fashion, the Buddha himself have predict that time and this time is here and now.

Last week Garchen Rinpoche have told us how much is important to build Dharma centre and to practice in our country where there's no Dharma, when we look to past master as Tilopa we can see how he was totally out of tune compare to the society .

On that we should think, ho yes we have to sustain ourself with food and so on but there's many community in the worlds who sustain themselves by themselves so our attachment to society become viral, like this permanent need to speak on facebook or drop news .

But ones again we can work also to transform that into dharma, or society is good and bad in same time and we cannot change it but we can change the way we act on it, in our time we have to remind ourself that a dharma practitioner don't strive to fit in the society but strive to fit enlightenment, Garchen Rinpoche was a great example no sleeping only meditation and we still think that impossible ?

So manual of the little urban yogi, don't look on what think other carry on your practice 24 /7
