Dalai Lama's inspiration


peak mind summit in California
Of late I got to see a webcast of the Dalai Lama. He began with talking about our wonderful mind. That drew me in right away.
Meditation was highly promoted with us meditating together. This silence of the mind and single focusing of attention being essential and thus a good way to help with the sensory distractions. A skill we all can easily learn. In particular one type of meditation was brought up analytical meditation. We hear, analyze and experience. In this way we can see the beauty and truth of the mind. When asked a question about how to resolve an issue one feels torn with he said to use the mind and heart together.
One thing that was a major focus was how compassion is so necessary. So much of the time the differences of others is seen such as the varied paths ones follow. Yet all religions (spiritualities) speak of love and thus if we dwell on love instead of differences then all is good.
God speaks to us about being as children. Think of how children are. They play together and do not see differences they are about love. They have no problem showing affection to one another. this is how we all should be... of wonder. Of love!!!
It is for all of us to live with open hearts not self centered attitudes to aid humanity in love seeing all in beauty not in negative ways. Respecting all no matter what path they follow even if it is one free of spirituality (religion). No limits.
I will say one rather wonderful way Dalai Lama expressed this is when one asked him how he felt to be in the position he is in to help others. He said we are all the same. We are all humans. He said he could choose to look at himself as Dalai Lama but then he would be only one and alone but seeing himself as part of humanity then he was not alone there were many with him. a most humble and beautiful way to see things.
Let us all approach one another with love, honor and focus our wonderful minds and know that together we do wonderful things in the world. ☺
