    Isiah 6:2,3 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory./Inspiration+The heavenly beings proclaim the glory of God. Seraphim is translated "burning ones, " and they are some kind of heavenly being. They proclaim holy, holy, holy the Lord is. They say that He is the holiest. The earth exhibits how glorious He is because His very breathe created it. Go look outside. Look at the grass, trees, and the sky. Each is a miracle. Amazing! God's glory surrounds us all the time. We just have to open our eyes and look at it. If you're struggling to see it, then just listen to the birds chirping - God gave them their voices too. The birds' song glorifies God./Prayer+Lord, the stars glorify You. The birds sing Your praise. Heavenly beings proclaim Your holiness. Rocks would cry out in praise if we remained silent. You are worshiped by all Your creation. You made the grass green, my eye to see color, and the cow to eat the grass. Your creation is more complex than I fathom. You reign over Your creation, and You are a good king. I bow before You as king. You are the king of my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.

    He deserves the thanks. Please allow me to interrupt. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to Buddhists.

    This is very timely for me. I've recently realized that what's being called mindfulness meditation is object-oriented, while rinpoche's style, awareness meditation, is subject-oriented. When I meditate using awareness meditation, thoughts and feelings sometimes dissolve. In my mindfulness experience before, I focus on these thoughts and I get lost in them still.

    do they dissolve or are you just focusing past them.. Ignorance looks exactly like focusing. I think basking in them and letting observations pass freely is educational.. Its ok to get lost in thoughts.. Practice getting really lost in them and coming back.. Notice that something is able to move that focus around.. its not part of the focus.. Try and figure out or watch what is doing the observing..

I know what it feels like to be lost in thought and then recognizing that, then going back to the subject of meditation (like breath). That was most of my experience with mindfulness.

    Yes, I don't practice mindfulness the way they teach, but one technique is to take 10-20 minutes to eat one bite, that'll slow down the process, force you to tune in more, but it sounds agonizing. The optimum way to be mindful, is to get rid of the distractions in our lives which take us from the present moment. Make sure we sleep, eat right, resolve what might be upsetting us. Consciously letting the past and future go. If a painful memory comes up, notice it, embrace it in the moment, with the intent on locating it's source later and going over it a few times. Contact only the sensory data, what you see, hear, taste, touch, etc and not the memory of who or what the scene was about. It is the 'sensory' data within the memory itself that was gathered by the senses of perception but could not be analyzed because it was too painful, and the mind is looking to reanalyze this perceptual data to form correct conclusions from it, and store the experience away as a file.

    Agree. And there is one Rinzai Zen practice I use to exhale slowly and empty totally all breath from the lower lung/abdomen area - figuratively speaking. 3 breaths per minute more or less. It takes concentration where the mind ceases to wander. Do this for 10 minutes and longer and then all I am aware of is uninterrupted awareness itself - certainly not any breath. Breath as the object dissolves/becomes awareness itself.

    The trick is to be aware of the shifting mind and do nothing about it. Thus awareness must and will be introduced into mindfulness, and there are no more problems of distraction. This kind of awareness is found in meditation when the object of meditation disappears while doing nothing for it to re-appear....

It felt as though the top of my head was opened up, and I could see and experience everything, all around me. That second time I held onto it for well over a year, in a constant bliss state. Very nice! But it seemed more important to 'go back into the world.' Now I miss that bliss, a lot, but sometimes, if I get really quiet, _it's right there beside me,_ so I know I'm still on the Right Path.

    So awareness is the real goal more than mindfulness? That really does make sense to me. Mindfulness like on an object such as breath is like the introduction to awareness which is much deeper. Thank you dear Rinpoche for this beautiful lesson

    He deserves all the thanks. Please allow me to interrupt. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to Buddhists.

    Just excellent teaching. Clarifying. I have always wondered about a phrase like: "Place your awareness in your foot" or something like that spoken by popular mindfulness teachers. What I have thought they actually mean is: "Find your foot in awareness". You clarify this for me now. They are still pointing to awareness yet may actually divert attention to the foot instead. Many thanks.

    Excellent. It's funny we lack awareness of awareness! And same for love, it should be an intransitive word. We don't need an object, we just shine our light, and it touches everything without selection. The important is who is aware and who loves. Then it shines around.

    Dear Sir Rinpoche, This has been the most concise and clear explanation of the difference. It has completely elucidated my meditation process. Before I knew how to meditate, but I lacked the words to describe it. Now I have the words to describe it, my mind can better understand the process and it can be more at ease without having to try to formulate words to describe the meditation process. I would simply like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will pray for you. Kind regards Kamran

    "...whatever was passing through my mind at any given moment was exactly the right thing to focus on, because that was where my attention was anyway. It’s the act of paying attention, my father explained, that gradually slows the rushing river in a way that would allow me to experience a little bit of space between what I was looking at and the simple awareness of looking. With practice, that space would grow longer and longer. Gradually, I’d stop identifying with the thoughts, emotions, and sensations I was experiencing and begin to identify with the pure awareness of experience." Page 22 Joyful Wisdom.
