Slowly, slowly. Settling Down.

I was tonight reflecting on some writings by the excellent precious teacher Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. I would like to share if I may this quote of his. Please slowly read over and over until it has taken root in the mind. I think this is very insightful, simple, but powerful in its subtle undertones of unlimited compassion for sentient beings. If you cannot see what I can see in this short passage, the unfolding of realization/ignorance, of samsara/nirvana, then surely my vision is clouded, and I am in a fog of ignorance. Apologies for my lack of understanding. The fault is all mine, and mine alone

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

"Out of his limitless compassion, the Buddha has sent forth many emanations. Kings, ministers, normal people, prostitutes, even animals.

Due to individual karma and pure perception, beings could meet them.

Others were not able to recognize these emanations because they lacked the karma and merit.

Instead they would become envious and angry, and so rob and kill the normal people, have intercourse with the prostitutes, worship the kings and ministers, and use the animals for their own benefit."
