"Birds of a feather flock together. No matter what kind of friend you make, no matter how you associate with that person, you will eventually become like that person. That is what bonding is all about."

- Buddha (Udanavarga 25°I)

Transcendent renunciation is developed by meditating on the preciousness of human life in terms of the ocean of evolutionary possibilities, the immediacy of death, the inexorability of evolutionary causality, and the sufferings of the ignorance-driven, involuntary life cycle. Renunciation automatically occurs when you come face-to-face with your real existential situation, and so develop a genuine sympathy for yourself, having given up pretending the prison of habitual emotions and confusions is just fine. Meditating on the teachings given on these themes in a systematic way enables you to generate quickly an ambition to gain full control of your body and mind in order at least to face death confidently, knowing you can navigate safely through the dangers of further journeys. Wasting time investing your life in purposes that you cannot take with you becomes ludicrous, and, when you radically shift your priorities, you feel a profound relief at unburdening yourself of a weight of worry over inconsequential things.

The Spiritual Master Padmasambhava

Western Tibet or Ladakh, 14th century

This portrait of Guru Padmasambhava (Lotus-Born) is one of the earliest known effigies of the eighth-century Indian mystic, revered as the leading propagator of tantric Buddhism in Tibet. He is believed to have gone to Tibet at the invitation of King Trisong Detsen and there founded the Nyingma Order of Tibetan Buddhism. Popularly known as Guru Rinpoche, here he sits enthroned in a yogic posture and holds a thunderbolt scepter (vajra), symbolizing the clarity of pure Buddhist thought, and a skull cup (kapala), representing detachment. He wears the distinctive cloth cap of his order and has distended earlobes, the mark of an enlightened being. His facial expression is accessible, attentive, and spiritually alive. [...].

Padmasambhava Legendary 8th century Indian Buddhist mystic who introduced Tantric Buddhism to Tibet and who is credited with establishing the first Buddhist monastery there.

The statue in the picture is said to have been made from life and blessed by him in 8th century Tibet. The original black-and-white photograph was taken by the Queen Mother of Sikkim Gyalyum Kunzang Dechen Tsomo Namgyal. It was later computer enhanced according to the advice of lamas who had seen the original, which was sadly destroyed during the Cultural Revolution which lasted from 1966 to 1976.

Yo I made Buddhism and Hinduism altar today in minecraft, quite messy cuz I have 0 sense of decoration or whatsover but also 0 intention to disrespect any gods or religious figure

Might made some more variations of the altar, maybe specific to one god or in different categories (see the name of deities in tags!)

Abandon your notions of the past, without attributing a temporal sequence. Cut off your mental associations regarding the future, without anticipation. Rest in a spacious modality, without clinging to the thoughts of the present. Do not meditate at all, since there is nothing upon which to meditate. Instead, revelation will come through undistracted mindfulness. Since there is nothing by which you can be distracted.

“The master replied: Tsogyal, the empty essence of your awareness is not created by anyone. Without causes and conditions, it is originally present. Don't try to change or alter awareness. Let it remain exactly as it is! Thus you will be free from straying and awaken within the state of primordial purity.”

Thus thinking, put thy trust in them and exercise sincere love towards them. Then whatever is done for thee [by those] left behind will truly tend to thy benefit. Therefore the exercise of that love is of much importance; do not forget this.

— Padmasambhava, Bardo Thodol
