Something VERY contradicting

depth09 SG

When we meditate sometimes the impressions comes in. Also, during our early childhood (before 7), we have stronger remembrance. But usually only the dramatic memories comes in.

Also, we can intuitively get a feel of who we are in the past. For example, when I visited Brussels in Europe many years ago, I got a feeling I knew this place before...it was nostalgic. Later on, i discovered that I have stay for sometime there most probably as a mystic, because Brussels was the headquarter for Western mystics during WW1.

Deep meditation can actually foresee one's past life? This is unbelievable. Well, then again there are many things that can't be explained in simple science by layman terms.

I'm pretty much a novice in this chanting and meditation fields, infact i have never meditate before. In the few ocassions that i do chant, when i'm focus, i can feel a wave of hot air up my feet, at my back and such, why is this so?

In fact i do feel and get the vibes of the works of buddha and bodhisattva's help in those time that my father was sick. There were a few quite prominent cases.

At my father's wake, when the monks were chanting for him, i was chanting "nan mo a mi tou fo" together with them, and i can feel my body shaking or rather moving uncontrolably and my soul is trying to raise up from my body though it was rooted to the ground. Why is this so?

I have seeked the monk's advice, he mentioned that it maybe because i have the affinity. And it would be good for me to meditate?

Please advice and share your knowledge.

who? TS?

Texcoco II SG

Sorry i dun understand, why issit important to "Cleanse" my karmic imprints? I tot it would be interesting if there' a way for me to further explore my past life

An Eternal Now SG

I think he was refering to the guy who wrote that article and the other guy who claimed to have experienced what he claimed. Who is TS?

But I guess we shouldn't use such strong words. 'Amituofuo' is much better.

Amitabha - what does it mean?

v. If we happen to pass by an abattoir, a place where pigs, cows or other animals are slaughtered, and since we understand that the effect of the karma of killing is rebirth in the realm of hell, and we make a verbal comment to that effect, is it appropriate? While we do not know whether the person who is committing the killing will be reborn in hell, but when we speak of hell, we immediately strike a resonance with hell. Because suffering and darkness prevail in hell, at the mention of the word, we have already struck an accord with suffering and darkness. If we say "Amitabha Buddha" instead, then brightness spontaneously illumines in our mind and the image of the abattoir will not take root in our mind.

because they want you to have no karma so that you can sit on your butt and do nothing in emptiness for eternity (how boring is that)

Ito_^ SG

Actually may not be very advisable to explore past lives until your practise has gathered strength. You may not understand everything from fragments of memories, more questions raised, and you may be unable to cope with it.

And then you may need even more extra 'healing' due to it...

From the Boy remembers Past Life Being Shot in WWII thread

By the way 'namelessness' is the guy whom I said was a highly enlightened ex-moderator of mine who remembered being the Persian King who built many buildings for his wife including the Taj Mahal, but was murdered by one of his son. He also remembered many other lifetimes... many centuries back, example incl. living as a monk in a zen monastery, and even a lifetime of being a dolphin. I can't remember others, there are others he mentioned... and many more he did not mentioned.

He was greatly disturbed by those memories. He wrote what he did to deal with it in that topic.

I did not write anything against the lamas, I merely quoted the entire passage and posted it here so that people can come and clarify. The only thing, if u study my post carefully, the ONLY personel comments I made about this source is " Confused "

In other case, I dun and never believe Buddhism can condem a person just because he or she is against it, it made it sounds like "not believing in blah blah will make sure u go to hell" that sort of stuff. The beauty of Buddhism I enjoy is the flexibility for people to question freely and accept, as well as constructive answers to our life problems.

Ito_^ SG

Texcoco II SG

Definitely not refering to you la... Refering to whoever wrote that article. More likely refering to the guy who spoke about his bad experience with lama. But we never know whether he is slandering or telling the truth, so we should not condemn him in this way. Nevertheless i feel that the author should consider eyewitnesses as proof before coming to the conclusion. And that guy who supposedly ordered torture may not be, is unlikely to be, a lama. But who knows.

From my understanding only...

the wave of hot air... are the clearing of energy blockages... raising our vibration...possibly due to the relaxation brought about by chanting... Feels good?

Actually, i did not intentionally want to see any pastlife. The past live memories were not really in very deep meditations. For me, they are the 'layer' that disturb our peace. These imprints affect us... so we must heal them.

I think you should meditate too. You may just discover things about ourselves and its relationship to the universe.

These strong karmic imprints disturb our peace.. Like what you said... you have a bit of anxiety phobia... This maybe the brought over effect of the way you died in the previous life.

In my previous life, i died of pnuemonia. In this life, when i was young... i had asthma... Asthma is the feeling of breathlessness... that was the way i died in the previous life.

To Texoco :

1960s is the time when China Liberation Army went into Tibet and massacre thousands of lamas ...

the account given by the westerner is not true

The only westerner who is at Tibet who met HH Dalai Lama is Heinrich ...

I was doubting the source of all this posting ...

I am not saying you .Please do not misinterprete me wrong

As I have SAID ,It always best to ask a Rinpoche or a Lineage master regarding authenticity of such articles

bohiruci SG

Recently in United States there is an Author who claimed a former CIA agent

and Claim Dalai Lama is the agent to CIA to prevent Chinese Communist Influence

that x-CIA agent earns a living by writing books .thats why i doubt the authenticity of his writings

Just that there are people in this world willing to accept the "Great American Spirit " kind of distortion

I think it is amusing to those who writes such untruth abt Buddhism

especially in 1960s the Communist have been controlling the whole of Tibet

so , where have HH Dalai Lama have the right to order the punishment of criminal ?
