Karma And Relationships

[LESS INFO] 176 VIEWS | ADDED 22:00:05 02/27/12
Perhaps our best laboratory for our practice is not a distant mountain hermitage, but our own daily lives. This is especially true with regard to the people we find ourselves with in this life. If we understand causality, we must see that there is a reason for the relationships we are in. More important there is a teacher there as well as lessons to be learned. Here Lama Marut talks about how to look at relationships from the point of view of karma, which is the point of view which will actually help us to have healthier happier relationships.

This starts as an answer to a question about Reincarnation, but as is often the case, the answer becomes so much more. Lama Marut said, "If you're serious about a spiritual life, make a commitment and then expect trouble. There will be challenges and there SHOULD be challenges. If there are not challenges either your teacher's not doing something right or you're not taking it seriously enough."

Many times finding one's personal spiritual path means to move away from certain ways of thinking or being, and that's a good start. But in some cases this tendency can lead to a path which has no clear destination. Here Lama Marut makes it very clear where a spiritual path should be leading us, and though we may think we've heard it before, if we're not there yet, it's good to be reminded, especially by such a generous and wise guide.

Guru Problems

[LESS INFO] 157 VIEWS | ADDED 15:13:16 12/27/11
Perhaps the first cessation in a spiritual life is the cessation of NOT being able to see teachers. So we start with one nominal "Guru"and we TRY hard to see them as perfect. But when we do we will definitely meet with challenges. Not because of their karma but because of our own. This is one of the best functions of the Guru, to help us recognize (re-cognize) our own Divinity by trying to see it in another being, despite any evidence to the contrary. Here Lama Marut gives us some personal advice on what to be on the lookout for.
