Know that letting go is the real life.

 

         

 

As humans, we tend to cling to their own lives. Buddhists call it attachment. Therefore, we usually avoid thinking process goes coro- about- our death. Sogyal Rinpoche said that we would either flee death, or we neglect to think about it and it is natural.
however, Rinpoche said, death for us is the most important moment in his life.
Rinpoche (Tibetan language means "treasure") is the author of the book "Tibetan living dead letter". This book has sold 1 million copies in its 500 first edition was recently reprinted the 10th.
Rinpoche will be in Salt Lake on Tuesday to devote a dharma talk called: " honest advice at all times of life. " The talk will begin at 7 pm at the Grand Opera House of 1575 S. State, just south of Salt Lake University, Campus, with 20 $ 1 tickets.
Mr. Patrick Gaffney, Rinpoche partner with nearly 30 years and is also writing the book profit explained: "The thing that Rinpoche noted that we consider death as a loss and failure." But in view of the Buddha, Gaffney said, death is not a tragedy but an opportunity for transformation. Rinpoche writes in his book: "For someone who knows the preparation and practice to their death is not a failure but a success, wholeness and the most glorious moments of a life.
According to the Buddhist perspective, the importance of approaching moment of death is how the ego consciousness and the illusion of it slowly die and can reach enlightenment. A person's mind they never learn and practice how to understand the mind, you probably will not get a chance to enlightenment, Rinpoche said.

He also said, through the process of learning how to see dead people know how to live.
"Sometimes, when I teach these things," he wrote, "someone ran up to me and say 'All this seems so obvious, I already know! Tell me more new things'. Then I told him that: 'He was really understanding and awareness of the nature of impermanence yet? He was able to realize it in every thought, breath and every moment that his life has not changed?
"Ask yourself two questions:
1. At the moment I am dying, I have always remembered everything and everyone and treat all with kindness or not?
2. My understanding of death and impermanence have become urgent and strong that I had to devote time to the pursuit of enlightenment yet?
If you can answer 'yes' to both questions this, you have to really understand impermanence ".
"If we do not actually know is impermanent, Rinpoche said, we see the change (impermanence) is similar to the loss and suffering pain. We're ramping up trying to become more safety and more secure. And then our lives continue to roll away, unless a strict illness or accident that befell surprise and make us wake up from this delusion attack. Instead, he continued, we should accept all though very small changes in our lives - can also see that change is the small death - because life is gradually death (Samsara inter).
's Learn to let go of what we have learned is how life really, Rinpoche wrote: "And this is the tragedy and irony when we try to hold everything, because there are things that we can not do it, but also makes us very sad when we find ways to evade it. "
Buddha House believes that every day meditation can help letting people know to understand that 'why we are here and should act like' to achieve cognitive clarity at death. In the book "Tibetan living dead letter 'Rinpoche described the practice Phowa, or consciousness transformation, that a dying person can practice it or ask a friend, family member dying of practice help them.
"Thousands of people have had a peaceful death due to the mystery of this practice of Phowa". Rinphoche wrote.
A specialist in the Salt Lake area, she Liselot Bergen, 20 years ago Sogyal Rinpoche met him for the first time in Amsterdam. She has spent 7 consecutive years of her life after meeting them for study Buddhism, then move on to study directing LDS Church - and now she is approaching the life and death of his life through a prism is a unique combination of two religious beliefs: Buddhism and the LDS religion. "The mind, according to Buddhism, is what religions call God (God), Ms. Bergen said, he Rinphoche it that the Buddha did not talk about the concept of God but spoke of the way to go to that. "
She continued, we humans are often exposed to the world and life around us with a 'greedy soul' (take care). A soul seeking knowledge only through knowledge, a soul searching for cover and satisfy itself first. Her ego, she Bergen said, it is not reliable, not honest and there is no love.
, she said, the soul is what makes us away from God, however, by practicing meditation daily we can keep our minds quiet, and then, when we reached the center, we will hear the true voice of faith consciousness, which is God, and it also is the true mind.
Bergen and Arts Organization organization she founded to help Rinpoche will give to Utah. The organization also has agreements with contract documents he'd like to suggest ideas above his printed cups water or more shirts.
