Hope Warriors Dharma Talk-What Does “Faith” Mean in Buddhism?    

What Does “Faith” Mean in Buddhism?    

“What you need to have faith about is something infinite. For example Dharma, but not the word, the living Dharma that shines your heart and it is only happening every moment. So what I am saying is that the moment to moment of the shininess of your heart, this is the Dharma. 

…When one has faith to, for example, the three treasures, The Buddha, Dharma, Sangha or the Pure Land or the invisible world, another dimension world where infinite happiness increases moment to moment, infinite joy increases moment to moment, If somebody has a faith that  such a world exists, how the Ki energy would be like?” You can find in the workshop that the Ki energy is “prosad” pure as if transparent. 

….If one doubt about the world of nonduality, infinite joy and happiness that increases the merit moment to moment, if one has a doubt of such a world, the Ki energy becomes impure, heavy and dirty, so different from the state of “prosad” which will produce the transparent heart, transparent Ki energy and the pure Ki energy.
What is interesting is that you need no effort to have a doubt about that (the world of infinite joy and happiness), but you need effort to keep the pure state of the heart...”

Hope Warriors Dharma Talks-How Can You Gain Freedom in Your Life?

I’d like to broadcast this Dharma talk with the hope that people’s lives will be better.

Well, I have been talking for two times now about the 5 sensibilities and abilities to practice Buddhism which was taught in the beginning of Buddhism.

Buddhism in general, they say that this is a basic ability to practice Buddhism. 

However, it’s possible to say that it’s necessary  for one who wants to live a good life, a creative life. For example, in a previous Dharma talk, I talked about the faith which is the faith to the world beyond the human world. Such as Pure Land, infinite joy  world, the enlightenment world, these are all different names.  There is also another name, the Buddha land. 

The faith can be intuition that this world exists,  also faith that if you will practice you will be able to reach enlightenment. 

What is the faith to create a good life, a good future?

Hope Warriors Dharma Talk-¿Cómo dejar que el Dios del Destino te Sonría?

¿Cómo dejar que el Dios del Destino te Sonría?

“A veces la gente cae en este estado del corazón, “¿hago esto o no hago esto, qué obtengo de esto? Si no obtengo nada no lo voy a hacer, si voy a obtener algo lo voy a hacer”, este es el corazón del cálculo, este es el corazón de “Tonge”.

…Cualquier acción que elijas basada en el cálculo del mérito y demérito, estás haciendo la elección que no te trae un buen resultado.…

Lo que significa que si eliges la acción, no porque tengas mérito o demérito sino porque es lo correcto como ser humano o lo haces porque es divertido, si no tienes ningún cálculo en tu corazón y eliges esa acción, entonces obtendrás un resultado mucho mejor, ni siquiera se puede comparar.

La acción que eliges con el corazón del cálculo es apoyada por el espíritu maligno. Las acciones que no eliges basadas en mérito y demérito, sino porque es divertido o porque es correcto hacerlo como ser humano, entonces es apoyado por los Devas, la acción será apoyada por los Devas y el resultado será apoyado por los Devas. 

La energía Ki en ti mismo es totalmente diferente si está basada en “Tonge” o si está basada en la diversión y en lo bueno que haces, eso es un Ki mucho más fuerte, energía Ki saludable y energía Ki positiva.“

Hope Warriors Dharma Talk-How can you allow the God of Destiny Smile at you?

How can you allow the God of Destiny Smile at you?

“Sometimes people drop into this state of heart , “shall I do this or not do this, what do I get from this? If I don’t get anything I am not going to do it, If I am going to get something I will do it”, this is the heart of calculation, this is the heart of “Tonge”.

…Whatever action you choose based on the calculation of merit and demerit, you are making the choice which does not bring you a good result. This is interesting. 

Which means that if you choose the action, not because you have merit or demerit but because it is the right thing to do as a human being or you do it because it is fun, If you don’t have any calculation in your heart and you choose that action, then you will get a much better result, you cannot even compare.

The action you choose by the heart of calculation is supported by the evil spirit. Actions that you don’t choose based on merit and demerit, but because it is fun or because it is right to do as a human being then it is supported by the Devas, the action will be supported by the Devas and the result will be supported by the Devas. 

The Ki energy in yourself is totally different if it is based on “Tonge” or if it is based on the fun and good thing to do, that is much stronger Ki, healthy Ki energy and positive Ki energy.“

Hope Warriors Dharma Talk- ¿No Necesitas Practicar?

¿No Necesitas Practicar?

“Entonces, ¿qué es lo que estoy compartiendo, el canto de mantras con oraciones, con sentarse o postrarse..etc?, es la transferencia de la Luz y el Gran Amor del Gran Espíritu del Universo al mundo. 

Así que, este es el camino y la acción altruista. 

A aquellos espíritus no salvados que necesitan ser rescatados con las oraciones les transferimos la luz y el Gran Amor de todos los Budas, Bodhisattvas y Devas y oramos para que estos espíritus no salvados sean rescatados. Esos seres sagrados responden a nuestras oraciones y esos espíritus sin salvación serán rescatados. 

No sólo existen estos espíritus no salvados, sino también los espíritus malignos negativos que intentan detener la buena voluntad de los humanos, por lo que tenemos que hacerlos desaparecer y purificarlos con nuestros cánticos y oraciones. 

Todos esos Budas, Bodhisattvas y Devas responden a nuestras oraciones haciendo desaparecer a los espíritus malignos, para proteger nuestra buena voluntad hacia el mundo y también ayudar a esos espíritus no salvados a ser rescatados.

Por eso llamamos a esto “transferencia espiritual“, porque es una acción de dar, una acción altruista. Una acción altruista, por eso no es práctica sino algo necesario de hacer como ser humano, porque los seres humanos vivimos en ambos mundos, el mundo físico externo y el mundo espiritual. Tenemos que vivir en ambos por igual.”

Hope Warriors Dharma Talk-No need to practice?

No need to practice?

“So, what is it that I am sharing, the mantra chanting with prayers, with sitting or prostration..etc?, It is the transference of the Light and the Great Love of the Great Spirit of the Universe to the world.  

So this is the altruistic way and action. 

To those unsaved spirits who need to be rescued with the prayers we transfer to them the light and Great Love of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Devas and pray that  these unsaved spirits be rescued. Those sacred beings respond to our prayers and those unsaved spirits will be rescued. 

There are not only those unsaved spirits but also the negative evil spirits who try to stop the good will of humans, so we have to make them disappear and purify them with our chanting and prayers. All those Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Devas respond to our prayers making the evil spirits disappear, to protect our good will to the world and also help those unsaved spirits to be rescued.

That is why we are calling this ”spiritual transference” because it is an action of giving, an altruistic action. An altruistic action, so that is why it is not practice but something necessary to do as a human being, because human beings are living in both worlds, external physical world and the spiritual world.  We have to live both equally.”

Hope Warriors Dharma Talk-Vivere il Presente. Creare buona fortuna

Desidero che abbiate un buon destino, una buona fortuna, e per questo vorrei parlare di come essere nel Ki della Fortuna, nel Ki del buon destino.

In Giapponese abbiamo la parola “UnKi”, “Un” è il destino e Ki è l’energia Ki, ed è per questo che in Giappone o forse in Cina, in Oriente, la gente sapeva che il destino era portato dall’energia Ki. Quindi se volete avere un buon destino, dovete ricevere una buona energia Ki. Vorrei parlare del Ki del destino, Unki.

Lo chiamerò così da ora – UnKi.

In realtà questo UnKi e il modo in cui vedete il presente sono collegati, essendo il presente “qui e ora”. Da quando il libro intitolato: “Be Here Now” è stato venduto in Occidente, le persone sono consapevoli dell’importanza del “The Now“  “Ora” il presente. Purtroppo però la maggior parte delle persone fraintende il concetto di ora, e il modo in cui si vede il presente.

Esistono in realtà due tipi di presente, uno è il presente che è incluso nel passato, l’altro è il presente che è incluso nel futuro. 

La maggior parte delle persone vede il presente che è incluso nel passato.

Ascoltate il discorso completo qui sotto. Grazie

Hope Warriors Dharma Talks-The Light and the Devas are Always with You

There are two main aspects of the structure of the Universe. 

One is the aspect of emptiness. Actually, emptiness sounds like nothing exists but the meaning is a little different even though as a sensation, yes.

As a sensation, the matter of existence is a totally different sensation if you compare non emptiness with emptiness. 

The sensation of the emptiness comes from the shallowness of the touch sense. 

We recognized the world based on our touch sense. When we touch something, we feel that something is solid or soft etc and based on this experience even if we just see something we can imagine it’s soft, cold, hot and so on.. 

But, imagine, if there is no touch sense!

I know that it’s not easy to imagine because we are stuck with the touch sense. But when the touch sense becomes shallow, shallower and shallower by the practice, I use the word practice and mean by chanting mantra repeatedly, prostrations, etc….

All those spiritual activities will bring you the shallow touch sense, the sensation of the physical body becomes shallow.. 

Then what happens? 

One day you will lose the recognition of duality. You will know that the true reality of the world is non duality. It’s a totally different recognition…

Hope Warriors Dharma Talk-Phenomenon is the Grinding Stone to let your  Spirit Shine  

“……… in this modern age just about everyone is thinking this way  “Everybody except Me is Doing Great”. Most people have this tendency in their heart. Why is this? …………..

I had been thinking that the reason for this was because of television  commercials, even though I don’t actually watch television. I thought this  because the purpose of television commercials is to show, and to let  people think that “ all my unhappiness will be solved by buying this”, or to let the consumer believe that if they don’t have this then you are not happy but if you buy this you will be happy. But then I realised that television was not the cause because television is  rather old fashioned. Why people think that everybody is doing great  except for me is because of the social network service…………….

Even though the bright part of life is shown it seems that this bright part does not exist for 24 hours 7 days a week, ……

. The bright part, even if it does happen, is only  a few percent, only 2 to 3 percent of one’s whole life but people are showing this and those who see it think that it is the whole life, the daily life, 24/7 of that person. This kind of misunderstanding comes from where? This misunderstanding comes from or depends on what you put as the  purpose of life……..

So, what is the purpose of life? The purpose of life is to……….”
