Padmasambhava played a pivotal role in merging Buddhism with Tibet's pagan religion, Bon.
Initially, Buddhism faced resistance in Tibet, but Padmasambhava's teachings led to harmony.

Waiting for a 'thumbs up' from a higher power or Zen master may result in missed opportunities & a lack of self-trust.
Instead, cultivate inner confidence and trust in your own judgement.

Many are swayed by external influences, ultimately resulting in a life that feels inauthentic & misaligned with one's true self.
Validating personal experiences is crucial for living a genuine life

Being compassionate is a more beautiful way to live than being in self-defense mode.
It strengthens, enlightens, and makes one a positive influence, benefiting both yourself and those around you.

This is the power of genuine compassion and spiritual practice - it has the ability to undo negativity and limited views, creating space for real change and understanding.

While external guidance can be valuable, relying solely on it may lead one astray.
True learning requires critical evaluation to determine what truly works.
It's about trusting one's own experience to navigate the path to mastery.

We must examine our intent in deeper and deeper ways.
If you're doing things the wrong way, you have to let go of what doesn't work and realign with what does.

When you accept life as it is, you see who you are.
Only you can look into your mind and know what is true.

Align your spirit with what you do, or whatever you succeed in will leave you dissatisfied.

It's essential to be aware of one's own experiences and to recognize the truth within them.
The ability to recognize the validity and truth in one's actions & life is key to one's personal growth.

When people judge you, look at it - but weigh it in your own heart and mind to see if it's something useful.

This is what self-reliance is - you validate your own experience.
You have to rely on yourself and see what's real in your own mind, not look outside for validation.
#Lojong #MindTraining #AhjanSamvara #BuddhistTeachings #AjahnSamvara #Buddhism
As Buddha advised, one should test and reflect upon teachings to ascertain their validity.
It's important to experience life and validate for yourself from your own first-hand experience.

Once you see you can do it, that's when you naturally start exploring greater proficiency.

Buddha himself said: don't take what I say on faith.
Don't just accept what I'm saying. If my teachings are real, then put them to the test.
Try it, experience it, and then you'll know yourself if this is a true teaching.
