What we are looking for is the simplest thing. It is just awareness; that awareness is already omnipresent, nothing special, but it is pleasant wakefulness in each moment. It is just: I am here, here I am; I exist. It is just that easiness. Trouble is, we are looking for contenment and peace outside of us. The mind complicates our life and being.
it can not be just "handed out" with words yet words can clearly mark it's supreme qualities, even contemplating them is a path to realizing it! -it is UNCREATED, UNCHANGABLE, NONDUAL.. completely self sufficient, not bound and not dependent on anything yet everything else depends on IT to be.. there are some states unbound by form, yet this "place" is neither bound or unbound by form, it is not affected what so ever by form or formless realms, there are many states of joy and many states of sorrow, there are states of communion and states of separation, IT is neither since there is no one else to be in communion with and no one to be separated from.. nor is it a state of extraordinary energy.. since all energy, ordinary or extraordinary, high or low, purified or corrupted by the ego is still just a manifestation before IT, Held in front of every being by IT's supreme power. This is our technical base of all freedoms and capacities. May all beings who read this realize it swiftly! Realize you have the power to recognize it, since it exists at all moments without any intervention. realize you can practice a path of realization! have faith in the methods and may true power of spiritual enthusiasm and aspiration bring you the realization of your mind's essence! And then! It is not over, then there is only one practice, the direct practice of just sitting and stabilizing in your Supreme Center, of integrating all activity in this State of States.
According to Tantra teachings, 84000 number comes from the number of channels in the body where karmic prana flows.Thus 84000 types of emotions, habits and so on, which requires its unique approach.
She about answers most peoples frustrations with Krishnamurti -- 'Sir, but what is it?' - "Ah, but please don't misunderstand me, it is not!" That of which we speak is not with reference to human consciousness but is known when consciousness realizes itself dissolved and subsumed into not-it!
Meditate. Do NOT think, Meditate. Take a retreat. Forget trying to analyze the Suttas of Buddha. Meditate, meditate, meditate. Find the truth for yourself.
The Buddha invites us to behold the Essence of Mind which is clear light and space-like. This essence animates our mortal body but it is not, itself, mortal. It is immortal (amrita). To realize this immortal essence is nirvana.
It brings me joy to see such a... I don't know, is "authentic" a correct adjective to use? Such a very sincere, honest teacher who has come from the world of the west. It's neat. :]
I believe she is speaking in metaphor. There are specific techniques for different kinds of people, who have different karma and/or habits. Many paths to the same destination.
Looking at the mind, the mind itself is both observer and observed. The nature of mind is dependend origination where the non-selfexistence of mind is itself seen to be not selfexisting. Hence all grasping for a thing is let go of, the sheer non-selfexistence of anything whatsoever shows that duality is fictional, all shares the same ground, the nature of mind. Practicing the vantagepoint of the ground, becoming settled in it and eventualy being carried by it, as was supposed to be, naturally being. From there everything is accomplished splendidly, simply and freely. :-)
Thanks. Yes, I know they say that' the best thing. Iknow how to do ''mindfullness'' meditation, where you just observe the thoughts as they arise. A person can do that anywhere, but of course we all get ''hooked'' on desires and wants as they arise, and feelings of attraction and rejection and all that stuff. In ''real'' life we get hooked on our thoughts, they kinda lead us this way and that...
Misinterpretation. Unlike other religions or dogmas means only that you can transcend the religions or dogmas which the nature of religion is that to putting effort into keeping dogmas and religion itself.
***** Exactly, such dogma can be transcended, and my comment was to point out that the transcendence of dogma might resemble an outlook which does not point out relations of 'other-ness' by saying "unlike A, Buddhism (or what have you) has the characteristic B".
I call myself Christian but this stuff interests me, otherwise I wouldn't watch it. I like earning about psychology, and even the paranormal.I hate it when Christians bust in on the comments page just to harass other traditions.
Neville Richardson zhentong is rejected by Gelugpa but they adopt Madhyamaka prasangika as Chandrakirti exposed... but doesn’t matter, shérif speaking about Dzogchen which transcend all these intellectual views....
I ran into the same problem. There is no lack of Dharma teachings on CZcams, but it's difficult to get information on what to _do_. If possible, I highly suggest you find a teacher to point you in the right direction.
Dzogchen and Advaita are the same. The I AM of advaita is the same as rigpa. Effortless attention to awareness/attention itself. Or the "self" as it is called in advaita.
from my western point of view it seam to me to be bad habbit of buddhist tradition, giving this precise numbers, 84 000 is very frequent. 840 000 i've hird first time, maybe it was not intention, but as Freud says, significant mistake. Otherwise my great respect to this teachings in their essence.
like having an enlightened grandma. you gotta love her.
She's not a grandma...she's a hot chick. She's a dakini
She reminds me of the grandma off Spirited Away
I like the way this lady talks,
It's good to see a female Lama. Namaste ⚙🕉
fabulous, she nailed it
"But none of my words are it." 😀
wonderful teaching -- what a gift from a lovely person!

Thanks a lot . You give us one of the best perspectives of Buddhist
That edge is very sharp. Thank you. I just cutted out little bit of my ignorance.

Tibetan buddhism is Tantric nonetheless
This was pretty clear, but I must say I like Rupert Spira's explanations better. He has a very lucid way of explaining.
She about answers most peoples frustrations with Krishnamurti -- 'Sir, but what is it?' - "Ah, but please don't misunderstand me, it is not!" That of which we speak is not with reference to human consciousness but is known when consciousness realizes itself dissolved and subsumed into not-it!
Truth.
Truth and true wisdom.
Meditate. Do NOT think, Meditate. Take a retreat. Forget trying to analyze the Suttas of Buddha. Meditate, meditate, meditate. Find the truth for yourself.
I agree.
Nice exposition. She knows.

Do a search for Lama Lena 2013. Another great video and teaching.
Solid. Thanks 🙏
Thank you for the teaching. You looks so kind and I like the way you teach :)
thank you
Thanks for that. I'm not a Buddhist myself, but I'm interested in a lot of things :-)

Encore is a word that cannot just describe what it is pointed at
Emaho !
Just excellent!

"Unlike other religions or dogmas..." - that very statement is of the nature of dogma.

You are not your mind, it's only purposes is an intellectual survival mechanism, Buddha often referred to it as the monkey mind.
Nagajuna Madyamika and especially Zhentong were not & never have been Gelug ,correct me if I'm mistaken
Neville Richardson zhentong is rejected by Gelugpa but they adopt Madhyamaka prasangika as Chandrakirti exposed... but doesn’t matter, shérif speaking about Dzogchen which transcend all these intellectual views....
Reminds me of Brahman/Atman
there is no inside or outside, it is all one continuum, inside/outside is a dualistic and false dichotomy.
✨ཨེ་མ་ཧོ✨
✨How wonderful ✨

840,000 Methods
Sounds like advaita and satsangs.or zen, sudden.school.,
Dzogchen and Advaita are the same.
The I AM of advaita is the same as rigpa.
Effortless attention to awareness/attention itself.
Or the "self" as it is called in advaita.
@@jakelerms1935 Really? Can you elaborate it? It's very interesting!
Chagpa
Eighty for hundred thousand methods ? What, literally ? Or does she just mean ''a lot''and is speaking metaphorically ?
Any of 'em work, buddy ?

Not true!!!! There where 84000 and One and a Half Methods of Buddhas Teachings!
Every one wants to be a TEACHER. 😂
She needs Ayahasca
Lena lama is a California girl
But why did you think that..seriously...more intuitive perspective?
She doesnt need anything
She is already on a high
