SpiritualWiki - DalaiLama

Anhand der neuen Wirklichkeit gibt es das [tief eingegrabene] Konzept von WIR und [gegen] DIE ANDEREN tat-
sächlich nicht mehr. [...] Behandle deshalb andere als Teil deiner selbst. Die ganze Welt sollte Teil des WIR sein. Heutzutage benötigen wir das Konzept der Einheit der Menschheit [...] und einen Sinn für weltumspannende Verantwortlichkeit. [...] Ich fühle, dass die Wirklichkeit nicht mehr getrennt ist.

Fürsorgliche Würde-Kultur

Auf der fundamentalen Ebene gibt es keine Unterschiede zwischen allen Men-
schen. Mental, emotional, körperlich sind wir gleich. Auf dieser Ebene ist kaum ein Grund zu kämpfen. Videopräsentation von Dalai Lama XIV. (Tenzin Gyatso) [Tanchu Dhondup] (*1935) tibetischer Mönch, geistliches Oberhaupt des tibetischen Buddhismus, Linienhalter der Gelug-Schule, Friedens-

Vergleichende Stolz-Kultur

Auf der sekundären Ebene gibt es eine Menge von Spaltungen und Barrieren. Auf der sekundären Ebene gibt es unterschiedliche Nationalitäten, unterschiedliche Rassen, unterschiedliche Hautfarben, unterschiedliche Religionen. Innerhalb der Gemeinschaften gibt es die Reicheren und die Ärmeren, die Gebildeteren und die Ungebildeteren, die aufgrund ihrer hoch angesehenen Berufe Hochgeschätzteren und die aufgrund ihrer Arbeit Geringgeschätzteren.
Ich glaube, dass viele der menschengemachten Probleme daher rühren, dass die sekundäre Ebene der Unterschiede zu stark gewichtet wird. Wir vergessen dabei die grundlegende Einheit der Menschen.

Demut

Es ist wichtig zu unterscheiden zwischen echter Demut, die eine Form von Bescheidenheit ist, und mangelndem Vertrauen. Sie sind keineswegs identisch, obwohl viele sie verwechseln. Dies mag ansatzweise erklären, weshalb man heutzutage vor allem im Geschäfts- und Berufsleben Demut oft als Schwäche statt als Ausdruck innerer Stärke be-
trachtet.

Ende der Religionen

Ref.: H.H. 14. Dalai Lama, Alexander Norman, Beyond Religion. Ethics for a Whole World, Mariner Books, 2011, reprint 6. November 2012

Alle großen Weltreligionen mit der Betonung auf Liebe Mitgefühl, Geduld, Toleranz und Vergebung können innere Werte fördern. Die Realität unserer heutigen Welt ist jedoch, dass es nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist, Ethik auf Religionen zu gründen. Daher bin ich zunehmend überzeugt, dass die Zeit reif ist, einen Ansatz zu finden, über Spiritualität und Ethik gänzlich jenseits von Religion nachzudenken.

Kritik am Dalai Lama

Was glauben Sie, weshalb der Dalai Lama im World Wisdom Council des Club of Rome sitzt, zusammen mit den mil-
liardenschweren 1% der Unternehmen. Er vertritt deren "religiöse Strategie". Zusammen mit den Psychologen, die seit
jeher der verlängerte Arm des Staates sind, leiten sie diese "Einkehrtage" mit Psychologie-Leichtgewicht-Therapeuten
aus Zentren wie Naropa, von denen sie ausgespien werden. Sie haben keine klinische Ausbildung, sondern eine
"spirituell"-psychologische Ausbildung und bieten Wohlfühl-Therapien an. Sie sind eher "Lebensberatungs-Coaches"
als Therapeuten, die alle miteinander verbandelt sind. Es handelt sich um die neue, verdummte, professionelle Mittel-
klasse, die "Meditation light" in ihre Trickkiste aufgenommen hat. Sie sind großartige Anwerber für diese Mistkerle in
Roben, um die Vermarktung von deren spirituellen Wegen zu unterstützen, was deren Millionen-Dollar-Imperien wie-
derum vergrößert.

Aufruf des Dalai Lama an die Frauen

Ich habe einen Glauben, weswegen mich manche womöglich als Feministen bezeichnen werden.
Vor Millionen von Jahren existierte kein Herrschaftsgedanke in der menschlichen Gesellschaft.
Alle waren gleich.
Die Leute arbeiteten miteinander und was immer sie hatten, teilten sie unter sich.
Schließlich wuchs die Bevölkerung. Einige bösartige Menschen kamen auf die Idee, die Herrschaft einzuführen.
Die wesentliche Eigenschaft der Herrschaft ist der materielle Status.
Ich glaube, die männliche Vorherherrschaft [= Stolzkultur] entstand damals.
Schließlich nahm die Bildung eine wichtige Stellung ein, was das Gleichgewicht der Geschlechter
bedeutend verbesserte.
1. Geld oder Reichtum genügte nicht, um inneren Frieden zu bringen.
2. Das [naturwissenschaftlich orientierte] Bildungswesen genügte nicht, um inneren Frieden zu bringen.
3. Die Technologie genügte auch nicht, um inneren Frieden zu bringen.
4. Im 21. Jahrhundert müssen wir die Menschenrechte, Ethik, Mitgefühl und Zuneigung nachhaltiger fördern.

Frauen sind einfühlsamer angesichts der Schmerzen oder des Leidens anderer. […]
Daher bitte ich die [westlichen] Frauen, sich stärker [in Führungsrollen] zu engagieren.

Quotes by the 14th Dalai Lama

Personal avowals

My own mother, for instance, was very kind. So today, the first seed of my compassion came from my mother, not from Buddhism. After studying Buddhism, it merely increased. If I didn’t have that kind of a kind mother or if my parents had abused me, then today maybe it would be difficult for me to practice compassion. Therefore, the seed of compassion
is a biological factor. We need it for survival. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Ge-
lug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, 1989, Religious Harmony, Compassion, and Islam, transcribed and lightly edited by Alexander Berzin, Milan, Italy, 9. December 2007

Anger bouts

Question: Do you ever feel angry or outraged?
Answer: Oh, yes, of course. I'm a human being. Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain. [Laughs.] H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, 1989, 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama, presented by the US American weekly news magazine TIME, 14. June 2010

Women's leadership

I have a belief for which some people may call me a feminist. Millions of years ago there was no idea of leadership in the human society. Everybody was equal. People worked together and whatever they had they shared with each other. Eventually the population increased. Some mischievous people then started with the concept of leadership.
The main quality of leadership is the physical status. I believe, the male dominance [= pride culture] started from that. Then eventually education took an important role. That created more equality between men and women. H.H. Dalai Lama, Vancouver Peace Summit 2009, clip 2 of 4 last section, minute 14:53-17:59, Vancouver, Sunday 27. September 2009

I believe in justice and truth, without which there would be no basis for human hope.

Religion

Dalai Lama's famous reply on being asked about his religion

I don't have a 'religion.' My religion is kindness. H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Jeffrey Hopkins, author, Elizabeth Napper, author, Kindness, Clarity, and Insight, Snow Lion Publications, 2nd edition 1. September 1984

Recommendations

We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can
let them soften us, and make us kinder. You always have the choice.
H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935), cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

The concept of WE and THEM is no longer valid – according to the new reality. Therefore treat others as a part of yourself. The entire world should be part of WE. Here we need the concept of oneness of humanity and we need a sense of global responsibility. The reality is no longer separate, this I feel.

Love

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. H.H. Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness, Easton Press, 1998

If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue. H.H. Dalai Lama, compiled and
edited by Renuka Singh, The Little Book Of Buddhism]], S. 132, first published Penguin Books, India, 1999

Today the human soul asks the question: What can I do to preserve the beauty and the wonder of our world and to eliminate the anger and hatred? Please seek to answer to that question today, with all the magnificence that is You. Others are waiting for you now. They are looking to you for guidance, for help, for courage, for strength, for under-
standing, and for assurance at this hour. Most of all, they are looking to you for love. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Peace Prize laureate,

Future

I think that we can say, that, because of the lessons we have begun to learn, the next century will be friendlier, more harmonious, and less harmful. Compassion, the seed of peace, will be able to flourish. I am very hopeful. At the same time, I believe that every individual has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes
are not enough; we have to assume responsibility.

Dualism (US:THEM) versus Unity (WE)

Women

Wars

Warfare has traditionally been carried out primarily by men, since they seem better physically equipped for aggressive behavior. Women, on the other hand, tend to be more caring and more sensitive to others’ discomfort and pain. Although men and women have the same potentials for aggression and warm-heartedness, they differ in which of the two more easily manifests. Thus, if the majority of world leaders were women, perhaps there would be less danger of war and more cooperation on the basis of global concern – although, of course, some women can be difficult! I sympa-
thize with feminists, but they must not merely shout. They must exert efforts to make positive contributions to
society. H.H. Dalai Lama, 2007 International Congress on the Women's Role in the Sangha: Bhikshuni Vinaya and Ordination Lineages, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, 18.-20. July 2007, transcripted by Alexander Berzin, August 2007

[W]ar and the large military establishments are the greatest sources of violence in the world. Whether their purpose is defensive or offensive, these vast powerful organizations exist solely to kill human beings. […] Most of us have been conditioned to regard military combat as exciting and glamorous – an opportunity for men to prove their competence and courage. Since armies are legal, we feel that war is acceptable; in general, nobody feels that
war is criminal or that accepting it is criminal attitude. In fact, we have been brainwashed. War is neither glamo-
rous nor attractive. It is monstrous. Its very nature is one of tragedy and suffering.
War is like a fire in the human community, one whose fuel is living beings. [...] Modern warfare waged primarily with different forms of fire [...] will burn living people. War also strongly resembles a fire in the way it spreads.

Tibet fighting back China?

Question [at the end of a public talk]: Why didn't you fight back against the Chinese?
Answer [Dalai Lama looked down, swung his feet just a bit, then looked back up at us and said with a gentle smile]: Well, war is obsolete, you know.
[After a few moments, his face grave, he said]: "Of course the mind can rationalize fighting back, but the heart, the
heart would never understand. Then you would be divided in yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would
be inside you. H.H. Dalai Lama, cited in: Beca Lewis, Living in Grace. The Shift to Spiritual Perception, S. 91, Perception Publishing, paperback edition 19. May 2002

War – Peace dialogs

In the twenty-first century, the concept of war is out of date. Instead, we need dialogue to settle disputes and, for that, intelligence is not enough. We also need warm-heartedness and serious interest in the welfare of others. Compassion is more important for sincere dialogue. Women, because of the biological factor, have more sensiti-
vity to the suffering of others than men have. For example, not many women are slaughterers or butchers. Therefore,
for international negotiations, women are needed very much and need to take a larger role.
H.H. Dalai Lama, 2007 International Congress on the Women's Role in the Sangha: Bhikshuni Vinaya and Ordination Lineages, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, 18.-20. July 2007, transcripted by Alexander Berzin, August 2007

World peace will result from inner peace.

World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just the absence of violence. Peace is the manifestation of human compassion.
H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, 1989, cited in: Peronia Scott Candidate, Inspire Wisdom. A Collection of Inspirational Messages, S. 125, 2014

Fundamental culture: based on human dignity, equality, caring Integrity

On the fundamental level there are no differences between all human beings. Mentally, emotionally, physically we are the same. On that level there is hardly any reason to fight.

Secondary culture: status based, pride⇔shame based Error

On the secondary level there are a lot of divisions and barriers. On the secondary level there are different nationa-
lities, different races, different colors, different religions. Within the communities there are the richer, the poorer, the educated, the uneducated, the more respected because of their highly esteemed professions, some are looked down because of their work.
Many man-made problems, I believe, are due to too much emphasis on the secondary level of differences. We are forgetting the basic oneness of human beings. Video presentation by H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibe-
tan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, 1989, Vancouver Peace Summit 2009, presented by the Canadian broadcast television network CTV Television Network, part 2 of 4, 2/3rd section, minute 50:13-55:00, Vancouver, Canada, Sunday 27.

The benefit of investigative intelligence

The lives of 6.8 billion human beings from different continents are very much interdependent, interconnected. All parts of the world are part of me. My own happy future, my success, my peaceful life depend on the rest of the world. That kind of conclusion can develop out of investigation, not just out of mere compassion.

The benefit of human affection

At the time of our birth and within the following few weeks or months the main factor of our survival is affection, the mother's affection which also runs from the child towards the mother. It has no idea who that is but biologically it totally depends on its mother. So a the bond of affection is a very crucial feeling. Our lives start that way. In our blood we first-
ly appreciate the affection of others. Even those who kill millions of people without hesitation appreciate the affection
of others. They also have the potential to show affection to others.

Compassionate human nature

From the viewpoint of our basic nature I believe that human beings are basically more gentle, more compassionate.

All the positive states of mind such as love, compassion, insight and so on, have the quality that you can enhance
their capacity and increase their potential to a limitless degree, if you regularly practice them through training and by developing constant familiarity with them. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 14. February 2011

(↓)

Kindness

The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 22. August 2010

(↓)

Humility

It is important to distinguish between genuine humility, which is a type of modesty, and a lack of confidence. They are not the same thing at all, although many con-
fuse them. This may explain, in part, why today humility is often thought of as a weakness, rather than as an indication of inner strength, especially in the context of business and professional life. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 29. October 2010

(↓)

Happiness / Intimacy

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.

Friendship

Genuine friendship emerges on the basis of trust. [...] In order to develop trust you must first extend (open) your heart. Be open, transferring, honest, truthful, treat others and animals kindly and warm-heartedly, then trust will come.

Religion

We can't say that all religions are the same. Different religions have different views and fundamental differences. But it does not matter, as all religions are meant to help in bringing about a better world with better and happier human beings. On this level, I think that through different philosophical explanations and approaches, all religions have the same goal and the same potential. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 22. August 2010

It is very important to value all religious systems. Although they may have great philosophical differences, they all have precepts for cultivating a good attitude toward others and helping them. They all counsel the practice of love, compas-
sion, patience, contentment, and observing society’s rules. Since all religions share these goals, it is important to re-
spect them and to value the contribution they can make. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 21. January 2011

(↓)

Ethics

Some people automatically associate morality and altruism with a religious vision of the world. But I believe it is a mistake to think that morality is an attribute only of religion. We can imagine two types of spirituality:
- one tied to religion,
- while the other arises spontaneously in the human heart as an expression of love for our neighbors and a de-
  sire to do them good. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 12. May 2011

(↓)

Dignity

As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, follow some religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will
be happy. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 20. September 2010

Monotheism ⇔ polytheism

There are two kinds of religion in this world: one having a creator god, and the other not recognizing a creator of this reality. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Buddhist initiation ceremony in India, unknown date

Where do I come from? Where will I go? What is the purpose of life? These are the main questions. The answers to these are in two categories: theistic and non-theistic. […] [T]here are two categories of religion – faith without philoso-
phy and faith with philosophy. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, speech at an interfaith prayer meeting at Grossmuenster Church, Zurich, Switzerland, 15. October 2016, cited in: The Relevance of Religion in Modern Times, courtesy of studybuddhism.com, presented

Anger

Sometimes, when we are discouraged by a difficult situation, anger does seem helpful, appearing to bring more energy, confidence and determination. And while it is true that anger brings extra energy, it eclipses the best part of our brain: its rationality. So the energy of anger is almost always unreliable. It can cause an immense amount of destructive, unfortunate behavior. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of religious officials of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Facebook comment 11. October 2010

Anger

Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite – love, compassion, tolerance and patience – not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 27. May 2011

Anger

Question: Is any anger acceptable in Buddhism?
Answer: Buddhism in general teaches that anger is a destructive emotion and although anger might have some positive effects in terms of survival or moral outrage, I do not accept that anger of any kind as a virtuous emotion nor aggression as constructive behavior. The Gautama Buddha has taught that there are three basic kleshas at the root of samsara (bondage, illusion) and the vicious cycle of rebirth. These are greed, hatred, and delusion – also translatable as attachment, anger, and ignorance. They bring us confusion and misery rather than peace, happiness, and fulfillment. It is in our own self-interest to purify and transform them. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of religious officials of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, cited in: Lama Surya, Transforming Anger. Even the Dalai Lama gets angry. The trick is what you do with it., first published in The Urban Dharma Newsletter, November 2000, 9. March 2004

Rippling into a better world

The creation of a more peaceful and happier society has to begin from the level of the individual, and from there it can expand to one's family, to one's neighborhood, to one's community and so on.

End of religion

See also: H.H. 14. Dalai Lama, Alexander Norman, contributor, Beyond Religion. Ethics for a Whole World, Mariner Books, 2011, reprint edition 6. November 2012

All the world’s major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.
H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, posted 10. September 2012

Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister. No matter how new the face or how different the dress and behavior, there is no significant divi-
sion between us and other people. It is foolish to dwell on external differences, because our basic natures are the same. In My Own Words. An Introduction to My Teachings and Philosophy, S. 17, Hay House, 2008, paperback 1. July 2011

"Each student must be encouraged to take responsible measures to confront teachers with unethical aspects of their con-
duct. If the teacher shows no sign of reform, students should not hesitate to publicise any unethical behaviour of which there is irrefutable evidence. This should be done irrespective of other beneficial aspects of his or her work and of one's spiritual commitment to that teacher. It should also be made clear in the publicity that such conduct is not in conformity with the Buddhist teachings. No matter what level of spiritual attainment a teacher has or claims to have reached, no person can be allowed to stand above the norms of ethical conduct."
An Open Letter from Dharamsala, declaration from a meeting between His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama and a group of twenty-two Western Dhamma teachers from the major Buddhist traditions in Europe and America, Dharamsala, India, 16.-19. March 1993

In the West, you have education. This is good. You have technology. This is good. But you do not educate your people in values of the heart, of compassion. This you must do. It does not matter whether you are Buddhist or Christian. Com-
passion lives in the heart, beyond religion. Even me, a Buddhist, can say that you do not need Buddhism. All you need is the compassion of the heart. Women know this because peace is implicit in women. You put boys together, they make war. You put women together, they make peace. Women are the leaders of the future.
H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, cited in: article The Dalai Lama: Women are the Leaders of the Future, presented by the independent, bi-
monthly Buddhist magazine Lion's Roar previously named Shambhala Sun, Danielle LaPorte (*1969) Canadian entrepreneur, inspirational speaker, blogger, author, 28. May 2019

Quotes on the 14th Dalai Lama

Personal avowals

Meeting him [the Dalai Lama] in person was an incredible experience. What was most striking was the utter huma-
nity of the man – he was very playful, very funny, but he took the conference's intellectual message very seriously.
When you meet him, there's this strong sense of connection. He is full of deep affection. I felt that as well with the
monks who work with him. Some of them have been studying with him for 25 years. […]
That one person can have an effect on so many people is remarkable. Dacher Keltner, Ph.D. (*1962) US American professor of psychology, University of California, Berkeley, director of the Greater Good Science Center, author, cited in: article A meeting of the minds: Buddhists and behavioral scientists compare notes on the workings of the mind, presented by the publication UC Berkeley News, Carol Hyman, Public Affairs, 3. November 2003

Deeper insight on hatred and ridicule – In the course of his prolonged discussions with H.H. the Dalai Lama US American anthropologist and psychologist Dr. Paul Ekman has changed his formerly held position on the function of hatred and ridicule.

In my book Emotions Revealed, I argue that hatred could in some circumstances motivate positive acts that were of benefit to the person and to society. And I've come to believe that, although that's true in the short run, in the long run hatred is corrosive and maybe it actually has a long-term harmful impact on the person.
And the other thing, I think I've become most sensitive to, is the dangers of humor that involve any form of ridi-
cule – which can be very funny, but I think has a very negative impact on the person who's enjoying that type of humor. Audio interview with Paul Ekman, Ph.D. paulekman.com (*1934) US American professor of psychology, anthropo-
logist, pioneer in the study of emotions, UCSF, author, Emotional Expression, presented by Wise Counsel Podcasts, presented by Mentalhelp, host David Van Nuys, Ph.D., US American professor emeritus of psychology Sonoma State University, California, minute 35:48-36:51, 46:42 minutes duration, aired 19. October 2009

Dr. Paul Ekman, a University of California Medical School (San Francisco) professor, confessed that he experien-
ced a profound healing when the H.H. 14th Dalai Lama held his hands: "He held my hands while we talked, and
I was filled with asense of goodness and a unique total body sensation that I have no words to describe." Though not a religious believer, Dr. Ekman's lifelong struggle with anger left in that moment.

Quotes on Dalai's Lama's association with ⚡ Sogyal Rinpoche

Personal avowal

I am an ex-cult member of Tibetan lamaism and a retired licensed psychologist, and I was fooled, just like these peo-
ple were, anyone can be seduced into these cults of spirituality, that are so dangerous to the critical thinking and intelli-
gence of Westerners. They are here to dumb us down further, that is what is the disconnect that people feel when they go to a Mind-Life program and can't believe the blathering of these so-called scientists, they are probably already cult members of the cult of lamaism, just because they have a Ph.D. doesn’t mean they can’t be a cult member of these fundamentalist, feudal and medieval occult organizations.
Dr. Daniel Goleman (*1946) who sits at Sogyal Rinpoche's feet, as a devoted cult member, enabling Sogyal's sadistic sexual predatoriness, of vulnerable young woman, by endor-
sing him, (not to mention the mutual book endorsing club they all engage in for their pop dharma self-help books on Oprah's list) has actually broken his oath as a psychologist to report harm to others. Instead he promotes this little turd in robes, thus continuing to confuse and put in harm's way 1000 of students every year. Even though they know what Sogyal is doing, and know that it has reached such a serious level that the French police are investigating him. Dan Goleman (*1946) wrote the book Emotional Intelligence that was so popular, but was to promote actually
more anti-intellectualism in this country, he has been affiliated with the Mind and Life Institute for decades, but, in
fact, is a stone cold cultist of lamaism. This is called 'splitting and compartmentalizing', a common feature of people in cults. Dan Goleman is part of the Spirit Rock Center Syndicate of Psychologists, out of California. These lamas run million dollar corporations. This is a weaving of Spiritual consumerism, to get people to accept austerity programs
for the future, as we are turned into a serfdom corporate fascism, with eastern religions keeping us 'content' and
happy and not protesting the corporate takeover of our world.
Entry by Christine A. Chandler Adbusters and Sogyal Rinpoche. Really?, posted by M. Steingass, 26. April 2013

Why do you think the Dalai Lama is on the World Wisdom Council of the Club of Rome, with the billionaire cor-
porate 1%, he is their 'religious strategy' and the psychologists, always the arm of the state, have these 'retreats pa-
cked' with psychology-lite therapists out of places like Naropa, who spits them out, they don't have clinical training they have 'spiritual'/psychological training and feel good therapies, more like 'life coaches' than therapists, and they
are all joined up, the new completely dumbed down professional middle class, who have integrated 'meditation lite'
into their bag of tricks, and are great recruiters for these turds in robes, these hucksters, to help facilitate the selling
of their spiritual path to grow their million dollar empires.

Someone very helpful to the Dalai Lama and protected by the main stream media is a well-known putative author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and popular Tibetan Lama in the West, Sogyal Rinpoche. This lama now has, not one, but two multi-million dollar lawsuits under his belt, one in 1994, settled for millions, and again in 2011, for allegedly sexually abusing and physically beating two of his devotees and possibly hundreds of other Western women.
Sogyal Rinpoche was feted and honored by the Dalai Lama, the wife of the former prime minister of France and other lay and high lama and Hollywood celebrities at Sogyal's gala 2008 opening of his elaborate, western eight million dollar, Western-funded Lerab Ling Temple in France. The Dalai Lama has also recently inaugurated Sogyal Tenzin's Tenzin Gyatso Institute, in 2010 in The United States, named after the Dalai Lama and given His Holiness's "blessings" with the sole purpose to bring Tibetan monks and lamas to study and infiltrate further into our higher educational system. Blog article Sexual Abuse in Tibetan Buddhism, presented by extibetanbuddhist.com, Christine A Chandler, 11. July 2015

Question: The Dalai Lama clearly says (in Ethics in the Teacher-Student Relationship, 1993; Healing Anger, pp. 83-85, Snow Lion, 1997) that the abusive behaviour of masters must be exposed publicly and explicitly. Why has he not re-
acted himself?
Olivier Raurich: My hypothesis is that he cannot discredit Sogyal publicly, because it would undermine Tibetan Buddh-
ism. Sogyal Rinpoche has managed to make himself indispensable in the Tibetan community.

2. Sexual abuse of students
3. Lavish, gluttonous, and sybaritic lifestyle
4. Actions which have tainted the appreciation for the practice of the Dharma

July 2017

In 1994 the Tibetan Buddhist leader the Dalai Lama hosted a conference for Western Buddhist teachers. One of the items on the agenda was how to deal with the increasing number of charlatans posing as qualified gurus who were using their positions of power to inflict physical and mental abuse on unwitting disciples: a question prompted in part
by Sogyal Rinpoche's 'enlightened activities'. The Dalai's advice?

"Criticize openly," His Holiness declared. "That's the only way. If there is incontrovertible evidence of wrongdoing, teachers should be confronted with it. They should be allowed to admit their wrongs, make amends, and undergo a rehabilitation process. If a teacher won't respond, students should publish the situation in a newspaper, not omitting
the teacher's name,” His Holiness said. "The fact that the teacher may have done many other good things should
not keep us silent." Again, in 2001, when answering a similar question, he advised potential converts to check a
guru's qualifications carefully; "The best thing is," the Dalai Lama said, "whenever exploitation, sexual abuse or
money abuse happen, make them public." Blog article Briefing Document On Sogyal Rinpoche, Founder of the RIGPA Organisation, presented by dialogueireland, 7. April 2009

RIGPA's new code of conduct for members – issued June 2018:
"If a guru asks you to do something and you cannot do it for whatever reason, you should know that you are allowed to say no."
The investigative law firm Lewis Silkin confirmed 22. August 2018: "Senior individuals within Rigpa […] were aware of at least some of these issues [of abuse by its leader Sogyal Rinpoche] and failed to address them, leaving others
at risk."
As a result RIGPA stated:
"We feel deeply sorry and apologise for the hurt experienced by past and present members of the Rigpa community. We are contemplating on our role as an organisation, and how we may have contributed to this situation."

Synthese-Dialog mit dem Dalai Lama – Indien, 1999

Eine von dem Laienmönch Bruder Wayne Robert Teasdale (1945-2004) initiierte vorwiegend US-amerikanische Gruppe von visionären Philosophen, Friedensaktivisten, Kern- und Quantenphysikern, spirituellen Avantgarde-Denkern aus ver-
schiedenen Religionen und Kulturen, Erfolgsautoren, Psychotherapeuten, Biologen, Soziologen und Journalisten trafen sich zur Jahrtausendwende bei einer Thinktank-Konferenz in Dharamsala, Indien, 11.-16. September 1999, um eine Synthese-Gruppe zu bilden und deren Ergebnisse dem Dalai Lama vorzulegen.

Einige der Mitwirkenden der Synthese-Gruppe waren:

Dr. Fred Alan Wolf (*1934) US-amerikanischer Quantenphysiker, Bleep-Experte, Autor
Prof. Dr. Amit Goswami, Quantenphysiker, Bleep-Experte, Autor
Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, Gründer des Agape International Spiritual Center, Pastor einer Neugeist-Kirche, Komponist, Abgeordneter, Autor

Dr. Jean Houston, US-amerikanische Professorin für Physik und Religion, Mitgründerin der Humanistischen Bewegung, Autorin
Barbara Marx Hubbard (1929-2019) US-amerikanische Futuristin, Politwissenschaftlerin, visionäre Autorin
Wayne Teasdale (1945-2004) US-amerikanischer katholischer Mönch, Förderer von Interspiritualität, Autor
Elisabet Sahtouris (*1950) griechische Biologin, Zukunftsforscherin, Wirtschafts- und UN-Beraterin
Michael Toms, US-amerikanischer Theologe, Gründer und Produzent des Radiosenders New Dimensions

Nancy Margulies, US-amerikanische Organisatorin der World Cafés, Autorin
Barry Rosen (*1946) US-amerikanischer Managementtrainer, Regisseur, Produzent
Harry Moses, US-amerikanischer Motivationstrainer, Autor

Die unterschiedlichen Charaktere der Gruppe wurden sich allmählich einig in der Erkenntnis, dass ein langfristig wirksamer spirituell orientierter Friedensweg des Einzelnen allen Menschen letztlich ermöglichen wird, ein zufriedenes Leben mit weni-
ger Leid zu führen.

Den in einem World Cafe Brainstorming gefassten und gemeinsam vorgetragenen Vorschlag dieser Gruppe von Vordenkern, die Tibeter mögen mit Sanktionen aufwarten, um die chinesische Regierung zum Umdenken zu zwingen, wies der Dalai Lama zurück. Er argumentierte: Wenn die Chinesen, die knapp ein Fünftel der Weltbevölkerung ausmachen, dadurch leiden, leidet die Welt und wiederum Tibet. Er befürwortet hingegen und engagiert sich für eine friedliche Koexistenz, Weltfrieden und die Spiritualisierung der Menschheit.

Synthese in der Gegenwart des Dalai Lama

Das Zusammenspiel der vierzig Avantgard-Denker gestaltet sich zunächst disharmonisch. Sie halten sich mit Fachdis-
kussionen auf und gehen aufeinander los.

Im Austausch und durch die Vermittlung des Dalai Lama ergibt sich eine Synthese.

Der Dalai Lama dient den visionären Wissenschaftlern und Vordenkern als Vorbild. Er lehrt seine Gäste anhand seiner kind-
lich lachenden und unbefangenen freundlichen Art, Herzensqualitäten zu entwickeln. Einige der hitzköpfigen Spezialisten
begreifen nach Tagen des Brainstormings im Rahmen des World Cafe Modells, dass sie sich selbst ändern müssen, ehe
sie miterleben können, wie sich die Menschheit verändert.

Im Lauf der sechs Tage währenden Dialogprozesse entdecken die KonferenzteilnehmerInnen grundlegende menschliche Werte aufs Neue, was sie zur Synthese der wissenschaftlichen und spirituellen Ansätze finden lässt.

Filmzitate – Dalai Lama Renaissance

Der Grund, weshalb ich mich für solch eine Konferenz interessiere, ist, dass jeder Mensch die Verantwortung – und zwar die moralische Verantwortung – hat, über die Menschheit nachzudenken – und zwar über die Zukunft der Men-
schen. Dalai Lama XIV. (Tenzin Gyatso) [Tanchu Dhondup] (*1935) tibetischer Mönch, geistliches Oberhaupt des tibetischen Buddhismus, Linienhalter der Gelug-Schule, Friedensnobelpreisträger, 1989

"Synthesis" [...] da gibt es eine Art Potential bei dem die Kräfte aufeinanderprallen. Diese beiden Arten von Energie [...] zwei sich widersprechende Dinge vereinigen sich [...] und lassen eine Art von neuer Energie entstehen [...] oder eine neue Idee. Dalai Lama XIV. (Tenzin Gyatso)

Es gibt ein tibetisches Sprichwort: Bessere Ideen kommen von hundert Leuten, die nicht so kluge Köpfe sind – statt
von einem einzelnen großen Denker oder einem großartigen und hochintelligenten Menschen.
Dalai Lama XIV. (Tenzin Gyatso)

Es geht um die Förderung der menschlichen Werte. Die Förderung von [...] menschlicher Spiritualität und Frieden.
Das ist das Hauptziel. Dalai Lama XIV. (Tenzin Gyatso)

Ich glaube, dass es einen Geist der Menschlichkeit oder die EINE Menschlichkeit gibt. Betrachten Sie die Menschlich-
keit als das Höchste. Dalai Lama XIV. (Tenzin Gyatso)

Movie quotes – Dalai Lama Renaissance

Personal avowals

(↓)

Religions

I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, 1989

(↓)

Kindness

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow
Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, 1989

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness […] the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Happiness

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

The purpose of our lives is to be happy. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery. […] we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.
H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Gratefulness

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Hope

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Goodness

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Friendship

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Opponents

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Principles – transformation

Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Love and compassion

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Inner and outer peace

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Sleep

Sleep is the best meditation. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Speaking and silence

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Reason

The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Responsibility

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

(↓)

Better world

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

⚑ Chapter XXII "Hello, Dalai!" – The Dalai Lama

Christine A. Chandler, US American ex-cult member of Tibetan lamaism, retired licensed psychologist, author, Enthralled. The Guru Cult of Tibetan Buddhism, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 1st paperback edition 26. July 2017

Must read book on the pseudo-religion, mind-control cult of Tibetan 'Buddhism'. Don't be fooled by what is presented to the public by 'com-
passionate, wise, good' men and women in crimson robes. Tibetan Lamaism is in reality an archaic, sacerdotal cult rooted in Hindu Tantra. Christine Chandler rips the veil off their decades-long deception, with eloquence and devastating facts. My husband and I had been ensnared in Tibetan Lamaism for 14 years, and had been plucked out, suddenly and permanently, in 2006. Our eyes had been opened, after years of treachery, abuse and lies. Other voices are finally being freed up, and speaking out about the utter horror of Tibetan Lamaism. She writes about many of the issues we brought to light in our memoir/testimony (Exposing Deeds of Darkness). Unbeknownst to us, Ms. Chandler was writing her book at the same time we were writing ours, and she published it soon after we published ours. Her book gave confirmation to all that we wrote about, and many pages of her book gave me greater insight into areas I had not researched yet. Ms. Chandler reveals, as an expert in psychology, for example, the truth of how deceit and cognitive dysfunction was woven into the popular "Mindfulness Meditation", by Chogyam Trungpa and all of his academic sycophants. 'No right, no wrong, no good, no bad' has permeated our culture, and has helped to remove personal responsibility of one's actions,
and this false belief is even being taught to young children, in our schools.The recent revelations of the criminal activities of Sogyal 'Rinpoche' and Sakyong Mipham (son of Chogyam Trungpa), and many others, and their organizations (Rigpa, for example) give credence to everything Ms. Chandler reveals in her book.

Blog article by David Livingstone (*1966) US American independent scholar and investigator of the occult influence in history, author, Occult Secrets of the Dalai Lama, presented by the blogspot mindreach.net, 23. March 2014

"The popularity of the Dalai Lama, as an expression of the wisdom of Buddhism is actually related to the occult myth of Shambhala, which has
its origin in the geopolitical antics of the Great Game, the strategic rivalry and conflict for supremacy in Central Asia, between the British Empire
and the Russian Empire in the eighteenth century. Not to say that the rival Empires battled for control of a shibboleth, but rather that occult myth
seems to have been nurtured to serve imperial ambitions.
Shambhala, the legendary home of the Aryan race, was derived originally from the notion first proposed by Emanuel Swedenborg and popularized by Scottish Rite Mason, Chevalier Ramsay, of the Hindu Tantra as an expression of an "Asian Kabbalah," which provided the opportunity to propose an origin of the occult tradition in a people other than the Jews, and to identify them as the purported ancestors of the Europeans.
There is some substance of Swedenborg's claims, as Gershom Scholem also noticed that "the Kabbalah bore a marked resemblance to
those of both Indian Yoga and Muslim Sufism." However, instead of ancient Aryan migrations, such similarities can be attributed more likely
to later Gnostic influence in India. In other words, it was Jewish Kabbalah that influenced Indian Tantra, not the other way around.

The Dalai Lama reiterated his advice from 1993 suggesting to expose abusive lamas in the media. Furthermore, he retracted from the "disgraced" lama Sogyal Rinpoche stressing that no one should follow the teachings of any lama – including himself – without questioning. Lamas must live
up to the teachings of Buddha.

For the first time RIGPA leaders Patrick Gaffney and Dominique Side, who have been aware of abuse accusations directed to Sogyal Rinpoche for decades, address the matter publicly – at the occasion of Sogyal's retreat. RIGPA leader Dominique Side, calling Sogyal "a master who is larger
than life", giggled to cover her embarrassment. Both key leaders did not acknowledge the suffering caused to many people by Sogyal/RIGPA over
the last 40 years, did not express compassion for those who have been harmed, did not offer an apology for failing to intervene at an earlier stage
to put a stop to it.
