Kalu Rinpoche | Practice with minimum distractions

Tashi Delek to you. This is Kalu Rinpoche. I just want to send a very short message to all of you whoever are watching this video.

That is, you are here because you want to learn about the Buddha Dharma teachings. I am here because I know a little bit. So I just want to explain to you with my humble opinion as well. I think it’s very important to focus on the Boddhicitta and the compassion mindset as much as possible. Of course with the different traditions and the different lineages, there are so many different practices and paths; but yet at the same time to have a simplicity when it comes to practice, the mindset is important. The most important of all is to study your emotion. Study your emotion, study your pride, minimize all the negative qualities and the habits of your emotion. So that at least we can bring a little bit of joy to ourselves and to others when we have established a great quality.

Dharma is something that also can help you very much. Therefore Dharma is the truth ; to discover the truth we must do meditation as much as possible. There are so many misconceptions about the meditation. So, to learn from the recent history of the great masters and also from the olden time as well and combining together and receiving a meditation teaching through the book, through the teachings is very important to apply . Then to find the genuine teacher, that depends very much into your capacity and your realization. So, it’s important to be strong, to be courageous and yet at the same time continuity with your Dharma practice into your daily life. When I speak of daily life, the practice doesn’t have to be long. It can be 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes; yet at the same time minimizing all the distractions as much as possible, it’s very important. It is not really meaningful if you do 1 hour practice and being distracted for 45 minutes. It is very much more meaningful if you do 30 minutes, 20 minutes practice with minimum distractions and that can really have a positive impact towards our attitude, the way we think about the life and the way we can develop the quality to benefit others as well.

Other than that , I don’t want to waste so much of your time and I wish you all the best. Thank you for your time for watching this video . Thank you!
