22.01.2022 What makes you a Buddhist? In order to be able to become Buddhist, we need to take responsibility for creating our own lives, with the confidence that cause and... effect, or karma, really functions. Through our thoughts and judgments, we create habits and attitudes that either limit or free us. Through experience, we see that we create today the causes of our situations tomorrow. If we want to take this responsibility and decide to use this chance to reach the state of a Buddha, what do we need? We need values that we can trust. Mind is the only thing that doesnt change. It wasnt born and cannot die. It is always and everywhere like space. Enlightenment, or Buddhahood, is a fully developed state of mind and is the goal of Buddhism. As Buddhists, we make a connection with this state we open up to it and this we call taking refuge. We also take refuge in the teachings (Dharma) that bring us to the goal, in our friends on the way (Sangha), and in our teacher (Lama). From the state of complete joy and accomplishment of enlightenment, we can do the most to benefit others. So Buddhists also strengthen their determination to pursue this goal, so that we can share it with others. And to use whatever strength and insight we get on the way for the benefit of all. This noble aspiration is known as the Bodhisattva Promise. source:diamondway-buddhism.org Come along and visit us at 34 Prout Way, Bibra Lake if you would like to learn more about Diamond Way Buddhism and meditation.

05.01.2022 You are Buddhism. Buddhism is not something outside. It is not something else. Buddhism is the way you eat, drink, make love, think, feel. All this is Buddhism. Lama Ole Nydahl

04.01.2022 Anniversary of Parinirvana of His Holiness 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje. Monday, 5 November 2018 Every Karmapa manifests remarkable qualities. Accordin...g to the needs of their students and society in general they demonstrate aspects of the nature of enlightenment. The life of His Holiness the 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, attested to the true meaning of Karmapa, which is Activity of All Buddhas. The passing of the 16th Karmapa: death and cremation In 1981 he left India again, this time for medical treatment in a clinic in the USA. The cancer, however, had already spread through his body. Yet even though the pain must have been enormous, he cared for the well-being of the nursing staff, never talking about himself, but always remaining in a happy state of mind. The 16th Karmapa died in the USA in a hospital in Zion near Chicago on 5 November 1981. His death was a last teaching on impermanence for everybody present. The hospital allowed the body of the Karmapa to remain in the room where he had died, because it was obvious that this was not an ordinary death. Even though he had died, for three days he remained in the Tugdam, a state of meditation. This was clear from signs such as the area around the heart remaining warm and the body remaining supple. The signs were witnessed by the medical staff present. After that time, the physical remains of the 16th Karmapa were transported to India and taken to Rumtek in Sikkim, where they arrived by helicopter on 9 November. The 16th Karmapas body was put into a concentric structure a mandala in the upstairs shrine room of Rumtek monastery. Ceremonies were held for one and a half months, after which time the cremation took place. Instead of falling apart during those forty-nine days, the body had shrunk and was now sitting in a two-foot high box, which had a window so one could see inside. A thin veil covered his face, which was of a deep grey hue and somewhat shrunken; all in all it was the size of a small child. After the Vajra Songs of the Kagyu Masters and certain other prayers were recited, the box was carried outside and inserted into a recently built clay stupa on the monasterys roof terrace. Then a monk who had never had any contact with this Karmapa was called upon to light the masses of dry sandalwood underneath the stupa. Suddenly, in the middle of the ceremony, a huge rainbow surrounded the sun, even though the weather was clear and dry. During the cremation, the heart of the 16th Karmapa rolled out from the stupa on the side facing Tibet. Hundreds of Rinpoches and students, from all over the world, took part in this event.
