El universo es un organismo vivo. No tiene leyes, sino hábitos. Esa es la gran intuición de la cosmología budista. A ella se añade otra, que proviene del pensamiento védico y que hereda el sāṃkhya: la mente no es la conciencia. La naturaleza está hecha de la materia sutil de la mente, una mente extendida, que dialoga constantemente con una conciencia que lo permea todo, que no puede entenderse según las directrices del espacio y el tiempo. El cosmos experimenta procesos cíclicos de creación y disolución que se desarrollan en función de la evolución espiritual de los seres que lo habitan.

Viața maestrului este dovada cea mai puternică a acestei concepții, pentru că întreaga sa gândire și activitate, care a schimbat percepția asupra spiritualității tradiționale, s-a dezvoltat în relație cu numeroși factori sociali și politici, dar și cu personalități remarcabile.

What do we mean by mental development? By mental development we do not mean only those brief periods of our lives which we spend sitting cross-legged, counting our breath or looking at an image or reciting a formula. By mental development, we mean all those techniques or methods whereby we can change our mental orientation whereby we can change the way in which we view ourselves and the world around us. In this tradition, we are concerned with demonstrating the integration, the union between meditation, and our daily experience.

A plain language beginner’s guide to the practical basics of Buddhism and a transition to a Vegan diet/lifestyle. A personal journey and interpretation. Buddhism has been around for over 2,500 years. It has been practiced by monks in monasteries, emperors in palaces, and, more recently, stressed-out office workers trying to stay calm while their inbox explodes. It has inspired everything from deep philosophical debates to fortune cookie wisdom. But let’s be honest—Buddhism can also feel intimidating when you first encounter it.
