Fearlessness

There is a fearless quality to giving. We have to help those who live in vexation, fear, and despair and encourage them to overcome any difficulties they encounter. The third category of generosity is the giving of fearlessness. If someone encounters a frightening experience and you comfort them and deliver them from distress and terror, you have made a gift of fearlessness.

Generosity

There are three major categories of generosity. There is the giving of wealth and there is both inner and outer wealth. Outer wealth and its symbols. We all understand inner wealth refers to one’s own head, brain, eyes, and words. For those poor and disabled, we help them with money and goods for living. If people cannot survive, aren’t satisfied with their basic needs, they will not listen to what you say and follow what you do. Though the help is sometimes minimal, it is an immediate solution to relieve them from suffering, starving, coldness, and so on. With the immeasurable mind of compassion, a conscious person doesn’t hesitate to help under these circumstances.

Wish Fulfilling Jewel

The wish fulfilling jewel is none other than a thought instantly realized mind-jewel. This is no different in an ordinary mind as in an enlightened one. All thoughts arise and because of that they are.

Demons

" A demon is not an entity that appears in a black form to terrify us, but it is whatever creates delays in the achievement of liberation."

11th Century Tibetan Yogini

Color

People are forms and character, their color.



Failing is not that bad,
Trying is not that easy,
And winning is not that glorious.



Peace through war is violence,
War through peace is non-violence.



To smile at your foes is not as easy as it looks,
Although you only need to stretch your lips a bit.


Könchog Thubten
A 21 year old Tibetan monk.

Nakedness of quiet

The nakedness of quiet or presence disarms you so that you can't avoid any experience, any event, anything.

Nothing has reality until you reach it, grab it, and somehow impregnate it with the power of belief.

Realize yourself and be free. When you are in the true quiet, you realize that when you hear a jackhammer, that's the quietness -- it's just taken some form. True quiet is absolutely inclusive. It goes beyond all dualistic ideas of what quiet is. When we come into stillness, we find that stillness is not separate from motion or movement.

Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time. Every minute that you are awake, every minute that you are alive, every minute that you breathe, it's right there.
