Hello All,This is Kiran Shila, Lucjan s son, and I am writing a final post for my father s blog. It pains me to say this, but my father has passed away today peacefully in his sleep. This blog among others will stand as a testament to his memory, his wisdom, and his legacy. Thank you readers, I hope he inspired you as much as he inspired me.OmKiran Young Spartans ExercisingWith even a small degree of observation it appears obvious that people share a common, compulsive and insidious tendency to socialize. The sensitive observer will perhaps also notice that churches, synagogues, ashrams, yoga studios and dharma centers seem to be particularly attractive venues for socializing. Continue reading The New Age Movement was launched by Jane Robert’s channeling of the entity, Seth, who emphatically declared that “You create your own reality”. Upon hearing about the popularity of this channeled message, Ronald R. (my gentle mentor) began lamenting what he was certain would be the rapid disappearance of whatever little remained of esoteric spiritual schools. At that time I was conversely noticing what appeared to me to be the virtual explosion of such schools everywhere.

One Buddhism is the practical codification, organization and institution of teachings, teachers and students as a human sociological phenomenon. The other Buddhism is the self-perfected, self-optimizing radiance of our own essential, individual Being. Continue reading Share this:ShareFacebookEmailTwitterLike this:Like Loading... Buddha taught that the proximal causes of suffering are karma and klesha. Karma is the relation between actions and their effects.

Accordingly, if we have good intentions the effects will be good, and conversely the opposite. But if we look into this deeper we come to ask, “ good or bad for whom?”  The karma associated with our actions (deeds, words and thoughts) accrues to ourselves. It is easy to observe that even with the best of intentions we can still cause suffering for others. This is because even the best intentions such as kindness, generosity and compassion can only be expressed by individuals according to their individual levels of consciousness.

That is to say, to not be realized is to seem to be not-whole, fragmented or, worse than simply fragmented … missing a few pieces. Many people may relate to a special quality possessed by mothers. They are usually the very best finders. When we were searching and searching for a lost item of some kind, and becoming very frustrated, we would call out to our mother in desperation. She would say, “Did you look in the clothes hamper?” or, “Did you look in your school backpack?” If still you could not find the item, she would find it herself, often right where you had previously looked and right where it was supposed to be. Finding the missing ontological pieces whose apparent absence seem to sabotage our realization can have a similar resolution. Often, everything was right where it was supposed to be, but not always.
