Dharma Wheel

I don't know if it is a dharma story. But a story. Have you thought how. A chess play would look like in the real? Kings, queens and pawns of course. Well pawns could be really annoying, like they are in the game but actually not much, and just think of them if they find it pretty hilarious. And of ...

And this is only after I recovered today for being able to move normally actually. And get out of bed. Also my hemorrhage IQ is 120, its not like I am an actual idiot, although buying earphones called "bullet shaped" (and probably designed after the sound weapon research made in resent yea...

Obviously I have brain hemmorhage due to the "incident". Funnily, I made a small investigation on the earphones, seems like they have this so called "bullet shape & design", so obviously its like a bullet into your brain. Also obviously the manufacturers and target companies ...

Just see my image below. She (Guan Yin) uses right hand Ahimsa. Right hand is tha hand of activity, control, etc. mudras have symobolic meaning and power. It has nothing to do with chanelling yin-yiang energies that are directed in meditation sometimes, but with mudras that are gender-less. If you s...

In Buddhism, the dhyana mudra may be made with one or both hands. When made with a single hand the left one is placed in the lap, while the right may be engaged elsewhere. The left hand making the Dhyana mudra in such cases symbolizes the female left-hand principle of wisdom. Ritual objects such as...

For example, people with broken legs who try to sit with any of the formal seated postures will almost certainly make things worse. Buddhism is simply not designed to heal a broken leg. Yeah; Buddhism is designed to not broke your leg. :D however, if you are stupid, nervious, not careful or simply ...

Buddhist meditation techniques are now starting to be employed by psychologists for this very reason: they work under these circumstances. Maybe there is some truth in this, but why in the last 2500 years all the Buddhist monks have been unable or unwilling to help people with mental problems? I ha...

I have schizophrenia and bi polar and have taken the 5 precepts for life, I have been meditating for 10 years and have taught one of my parents loving kindness meditation, i have lead meditation classes in mainly metta and some vipassana. i find it pretty ignorant and insulting you think i should b...

...Actors and musicians use it all the time. They shouldn't. A normal stage fright is good for the tension and concentration. I never thought they were taking these. When I was having piano lessons we will have small performances and I have noticed some of the students are just very relaxed and pla...

Hi Folks! :hi: I thought it could help build a warmer more congenial environment if we actually knew a bit about each other. Especially members who've been posting for a while, but also newbies who feel moved to go beyond the usual Intro - please share some info about yourselves, your practice and ...

Best wishes! When my stage fright is too big, I do a breathing excercise. Sit on a chair, grab your knees and breathe "into" them. Let the breath flow, just perceive... I think the good wishes and prayers from the users of this board can be a real help also. :smile: I'll try this breathin...

If you are having sudden onset anxiety problems like this, I would advise that you talk to a doctor and ask about getting an as needed prescription for a low dose of a beta blocker such as propranolol. These medications lower the blood pressure and can relieve a lot of anxiety symptoms in a very sa...

Maybe take two panadeine (panadol with codeine), gloria, and do some steady breathing/prayers/chants to steady your mind? If it's possible to reschedule, call them, otherwise catch a taxi and once you are there and tell them that you are sick and apologise that you might not be in the best form. Th...

I always get sick before job interviews. The only time I was healthy at a job interview was when a company made consecutive open interviews I was not invited to and I was feeling great. But not now. I don't know how much interviews I both missed never to go or even went terribly sick to be unable to...

What's the source of this idea? The Kalacakra Tantra. John Newman and Alex Berzin have written about the prophecy. I wouldn't count on Russian commentaries and calculation. We in Bulgaria say "Putin Akbar" (an ironical phrase) to denote his insane and in fact non-religious attitudes in po...

* topic was moved from here http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17283&p=279534#p279534 Thank you very much for this topic. I have read a lot of speculation on end times prophecies but Kalachakra prophecy discussions really hit a peak in this subject, to my surprise, in a very fun...

I am actually interested in the independent arising. I know very well what karma is experiencing it on my back - my own karma. I can tell even when I said or thought very nasty things lessons come emedietely but gently. It's really bad at first sight, but to be honest it could have been worse so I a...

I think it is a different topic but it's related to my "cats" topic in the personal experience board. I'm writing it because I think it is important as understanding. I know people here expect to feel some sort of emptiness during meditation or practice and than realise the truth. Unfortun...

My cat kicks when she dreams. I think she is just dreaming of chasing things, because that's what cats do. Wow, it's amazing that you could read cats' minds. Do you also talk to them, you know, on their own language? Also I never thought cats think "chasing things" is so bad for them so t...

I'm not trying to be rude, but is English your mother tongue? I suggest talking to a teacher or qualified student that shares your primary language. :cheers: Well tell that to the iPhone makers. In fact, can I actually quote you sometimes because it sounds as a very honest opinion on their keyboard...
