Cloud Affair



THUS I HAVE HEARD




The Tathagata is benevolent and has great compassion,


fearlessly he is willing to impart to living beings



the Wisdom of the Buddha

fragments taken from
सद्धर्मपुण्डरीकसूत्र Saddharmapundarīka-sūtra



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PsqekVz1eE

It is like unto a great cloud
rising above the world
covering all things everywhere
a gracious cloud laden with moisture

Lighthing-flames flash and dazzle
a voice of thunder vibrates afar
bringing joy and ease to all
The sun rays are veiled
and the earth is cooled

The cloud´s masses lower and spread
as if to be touched;
it rains down equally
Descending on all sides
Streaming and pouring unstinted
permeating the land everywhere:





The Dharma taught by the Buddha
is like this great-rain cloud
whose rain of one flavour
moistens human flowers















Having appeared in the world,



for the sake of living beings



Shakyamuni Buddha,



The Thus Come One



is now passing on to you,



the Highest Truth



The Bodhisattva Path





by whose learning and practice you shall achieve Buddhahood

ESTO HE ESCUCHADO


Evam me sutam

'La Verdad en su plenitud es difícil de comprender'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_DVQIoIIpw




Al oido interno habla
la Voz del Silencio,
revelando el lucido sendero del despertar,
sin secretos en los ojos del Bodhisattva
El Dharma del Corazon arde con brillantez

Manteniendo un bello equilibro,
la Ecuanimidad no está manchada
por nada en este saha mundo,
Es el camino de la compasion
descrito en la escritura del Conjunto Cósmico
y el hermoso Sutra del Loto blanco
es la Iluminación Final.

Pero no la Iluminación del Buda
o la de sus discípulos únicamente,
sino la Iluminación de todos los seres

El momento verdadero de escuchar
es cuando hay un silencio absoluto.
escuchando el silencio durante suficiente tiempo
jamas habra un sonido ordinario
Oiremos la voz del Buda,
la Voz del Buda en el Corazon

AMANECE



Amanece en todas las direciones
aun hay lluvia, aun hay sol !AHO!
el Bufalo Blanco se acerca
junto con el Arcoiris de la Compasion

Vuestros ojos son la claridad
de los ancestros caminando en belleza
la fuerza de vuestros pasos
es el balance del planeta
La Unidad
marcha con velocidad fotonica


La mas bella promesa de Amor Universal
jamas ha sido rota, el quinto dia ya comenzo!
Rueda del Arco Iris, dadora de vida
Uniendo todos las colores
Somos Paz
Somos la Verdad develada


AMANECE...

Unbroken Wholeness in Flowing Movement

GODCHILD These are they who are conscious of the much falsehood in the world, they have grow in the house of Truth, they are the strong and invicible sons of Infinity. RIG VEDA VII 60-5 In a cloudless night sky, a full moon shines... rising is the Deathless Star, beckoning full attention to awakening Dense is the veil of illusion which drapes the formless spirit. The ancient dweller will not live on this world any longer only in perfect absorption : - ) RIGPA, intangible awareness ever present... silent, joyful, humble.
Recognizing the infinite appereances for what they Truly are: a dream, nothing but projections of the mind..! This doctrines and concepts which are assembled here are not my own, they come from the mists of time and the wisdom of forgotten kalpas, please do not believe in them mereley because they were handed down from antiquity or because wise men write about them; use Mind_to witness_No Mind. Seeing no mind, have compassion. Alas!! Truth is the limitless horizon. I am an ageless child born again into this world of strife timeless are my days , for in my youth there is no bitterness in life. While my days pass like moments in this beautiful dream lives past like days and enchant my heart with sweet songs of eternity I am an ageless child who has lived before and died as many times I have grown no less in death A GODCHILD am I, for my spirit runs naked in the heavens and enchants all men´s hearts with songs of eternity -- excerpt taken from Yogi Ramsuratkumar´s biography-- OM SRI RAM JAI RAM JAI JAI RAM i go to gather this sacred knowledge, here and there dispersed about the world, long lost or never found ¿why? ever make man´s good distinct from God´s or finding thy_are One, why dare mistrust?

Organic Consciousness



"So you wonder who you are
can't accept anymore what you've been told
then take all those questions to your noble heart
& let the mystery unfold¨

When you walk on through the fear
you see the truth has been always here
and it will never fade away"



Evolving on planet earth clearly indicates the presence of a self-ordered consciousness as well as a primordial awareness available to all,
wandering through existence in this infinite continum without beginning or end, free from attachment or aversion, just as it is.

Living on earth then begins to seem much more spiritual, mystical and intuitive experience. Upon realizing that ¨big problems in the world¨ often manifest as physical challenges, emotional and social problems… in a single material realm,
we may wisely gather the courage to wake up from the dream:

The ilusion of my soul, your soul, this or that,
all seems to disappear before the Reality of our Oneness,
of this organic journey!

A HOPI PHILOSOPHICAL STATEMENT

Mama Amma



"Everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear,
at least for one night.Everyone should be able to eat to his fill,
at least for one day.

There should be at least one day when hospitals see no one admitted due to violence.
By doing selfless service for at least one day, everyone should help the poor and needy.

It is Amma's prayer that at least
this small dream be realised."






OM Namah Shivaya

To all Heart Friends



Listen fortunate heart children...

true birds must go out
don't stay in just one place now
the garuda's domain is the vast skies


beholding innocence
this pristine forest
winged friends
is home now

so full
so empty
neither alone
nor to close
calm presence



just present
the light is ever present
clouds can't affect the
natural brilliance of the sky

witnessing frecuency swimmers
alignment to primal sound
the journey unfolds by itself

empty
is the expanse
of the sky."

yipeee yipeee
heart friends
this is really

Llamado de La Sierra (Umunukunu) Appeal from the Sierra


Primero estaba el Mar, todo estaba oscuro
no habia ni sol ni luna, ni gente ni animales, ni plantas
El Mar, estaba en todas partes, el Mar era la madre
la madre no era gente, ni nada, ni cosa alguna
ella era espiritu de lo que iba a venir y ella
era pensamiento y memoria (Mitologia KOGUI)


Only one thought
Only one Mother
Only one single word reaches upwards
Only one single trail leads heavenward

The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is the highest coastal mountain in the world, and the indigenous groups which live on it are the descendants of the Tairona civilization which flourished there at the time of the Spanish Invasion, The tribes refer to themselves as 'The Elder Brothers', and to the rest as 'The Younger Brother'
That which this tribes remember, and that we the Younger Brothers have forgotten, are the laws of exchange. Nothing may be responsibly taken from the created universe--the Mother--without giving something in return.

"Up to now we have ignored the Younger Brother. We have not deigned even to give him a slap. But now we can no longer look after the world alone. The Younger Brother is doing too much damage. He must see, and understand, and assume responsibility. Now we will have to work together. Otherwise, the world will die."
- Kogi Mama



“La ley de origen es la ciencia tradicional de la sabiduría y el conocimiento ancestral indígena para el manejo de todo lo material y espiritual, cuyo cumplimiento garantiza el equilibrio y la armonía de la naturaleza, el orden y la permanencia de la vida, del universo y de nosotros mismos como pueblos indígenas. La ley de origen regula las relaciones entre los seres vivientes desde las piedras hasta el ser humano, en la perspectiva de la unidad y la convivencia en el territorio ancestral legado desde la materialización del mundo. (...) Nuestra Ley nos dice queUmunukunu o Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta es el lugar sagrado dado a
las tribus Iku, Kággaba, Sanká y Kankuama, que la orden de los primeros padres es que desde la Sierra seamos los cuidadores del mundo, para que por la permanencia de las formas de vida dadas en nuestra ley de origen haya equilibrio entre la naturaleza y el hombre, siendo el hombre también naturaleza”

Found Itself

from the ancient, beginningless time, from no time within each and every movement in all different times and places found itself standing upon the waters neither turbulent nor peaceful nor walking or sitting whenever it turn to see the reflection of its true nature. !!!EUREKA!!! ~~~""There is no greater mystery than the following Ourselves being the Reality, we seek to gain reality. We think there is something hiding our Reality, and that it must be destroyed before the Reality is gained. That is ridiculous. A day will dawn when you will yourself laugh at all your past efforts. That which will be on the day you laugh is also here and now."" ~~~ Sri Ramana Maharsi Self Nature originally pure Crystal Clear

Metta Poetics



The Pali word metta is a multi-significant term meaning loving-kindness, friendliness, goodwill, benevolence, fellowship, amity, concord, inoffensiveness and non-violence ~*~

ABOUT THE ETHICS OF INTEGRATION
When synergies are pure
just before the dawn
magie of the Kosmos
comes alone,
extraordinary bold
it vanishes empty walls
and shadows,
undiluted light,
dynamic force.

seedees:

crystallization
perfect alchemy
as long as space endures
lions roaring, swans being born
all inhabitants
living a simple life
for the welfare of all

magie comes
and shows the WAY
only ONELOVE conquers
yet the bridge is open...
whether visible or invisible
RE-UNION of the opposites
is taking place... stop!

observe...




in this very present moment
left & right, logic & illogic
peace & war, courage & fear
violence & no violence, does
anyone on this blue planet, wonders
what's going on ???


is there a need
to spend some much time in
separation, instead why not to
acknowledge integration,
perhaps by trascending duality
change may come!!!
who knows... only ONE
does

however, wouldn't it be
better believing in a free
world where all beings
become aware of OM!

Truth IS

magie has already come
again and again..
it comes
and goes...
better catch it now
all it takes is
an awakened heart
never wishing others harm
In resentment or in hate.

beyond hatred or enmity.
cultivating an all-embracing mind of love
all throughout the universe, beyond, beyond~
embodying the majesty of a radiant smile
the Blessings of Metta
are undescribable

ONE sleeps happily;
ONE wakes happily;
ONE does not suffer bad dreams;
ONE is dear to human beings;
ONE is dear to non-human beings



magie says...
when universal love leading to liberation of mind
is practiced, developed, and made
the foundation of one's life,
ALL is d.one

A tree has its roots, a stream its source.





World Peace Forum 2006, truly proved to be a unique gathering of peoples from GAIA.
The show must go on!


beyond, beyond, beyond, words, or symbols, treaties or threats, this or that... remember, remember there is Unity in Diversity; a Culture for Peace on this Planet represents the whole existence co-creating it, THOU ART PEACE,
may we remember my beloved ones, how we all come, are part and live as expressions of the same single source, of course there are many streams along the Way and yet Water is Water...




let go!!! be assured fixed systems of belief were not preceding the beginning of all things..

Mind precedes all things;
mind is their chief, mind is their maker.
If one speaks or does a deed
with a mind that is pure within,
happiness then follows along
like a never departing shadow.
Dhammapada 1

pure hearts shinning, with an unconditional love-compasion authentic attitude towards all-one
may be the HIGHEST EXPRESSION of -PEACEFUL-ART. wanna try,
are U ready, to join the world caravan for peace!


: ) ~ ( :

Here some visual-written insights/memories from Vancouver World Peace Forum 2006
May Peace Prevail on Earth!



Better than a thousand useless words
is one useful word,
hearing which one attains peace.
Dhammapada 100



Ancient Sufi Prayer

I offer you peace.
I offer you joy.
I offer you friendship.
I hear your needs.
I see your beauty.

Our wisdom comes from
a Higher Source.
Our wisdom comes from
a deeper source.
I honor that Source in you.

BLESSINGS

Llamado a La Paz Vancouver 2006



HAGAMOS PAZ LOS UNOS CON LOS OTROS

NO MAS GUERRA! PAZ AHORA

English version " VANCOUVER APPEAL FOR PEACE" at (see links)
http://www.worldpeaceforum.ca/


El primer Foro Mundial por la Paz se ha reunido en Vancouver, Canada entre el 23 y el 28 de Junio de 2006
con el fin de dialogar acerca del tema “ Ciudades y Comunidades : Trabajando Juntos para encontrar el fin de la guerra y construir un mundo Pacifico, justo y sostenible “

En el año 2006 el mundo confronta la guerra illegal en Iraq, el racismo, la erosion y detrimento de las libertades civiles, la renovacion de amenazas nucleares y el sostenido fenomeno de calentamiento global. Somos conscientes que la inacabable guerra en contra del terror/ terrorismo ha deteriorado gravemente los derechos humanos y el rol de las naciones unidas en la sociedad mundial.

El mundo entero enfrenta pobreza masiva, un mayor numero de personas sin techo, desplazamiento, un alarmante incremento en el porcentaje de enfermedades, y el incremento en la desigualdad economica junto con el aumento indiscriminado del gasto militar por parte de los estados involucrados en la carrera armamentista.

En esta critica coyuntura en la historia, El foro Mundial por la Paz ha concluido que en realidad un mundo sin guerra es alcanzable. Para ese fin.

· Construiremos Paz con ecuanimidad basada en justicia social, derechos humanos, libertades democraticas, e igualdad economica
· Educaremos a nuestros niños para que juntos cultivemos una cultura por paz
· Reconoceremos, protegeremos y apoyaremos las necesidades y aspiraciones de todas las familias indigenas del mundo
· Respetaremos la dignidad que brinda a todas las gentes del mundo la diversidad , diferencia y libertad de opinion
· Nos aseguraremos de desarrollar un rol de liderazgo para las mujeres los niños, y los forjadores de paz de todo el planeta
· Demandamos y demandaremos el fin de la guerra y la violencia
· Protegeremos pacificamente el medio ambiente
· Trabajaremos para eliminar y erradicar las armas nucleares y de destruccion masiva

Especificamente para conseguir esto,, llamamos a

1. El retiro de todas las tropas extranjeras de Iraq, Colombia y Afghanistan
2. Un acuerdo negociado entre Israel y palestina dentro del marco juridico de la Ley Internacional y las resoluciones de las Naciones Unidas.
3. Un compromiso sostenido para asumir el calentamiento global como un fenomeno inequivoco, asi como la necesidad de desarrollar politicas energeticas sostenibles para reducir sus efectos.
4. La implementacion de la Resolucion 1325 de las Naciones Unidas con el fin de asegurar total igualdad en la participacion de la Mujer
5. El fin de la tortura en la prision de Guantanamo.
6. Los Gobiernos del Mundo para reducir el gasto militar, reutilizando estos recursos para invertir en las necesidades humanas.
7. Los gobiernos para renunciar constitucionalmente a la guerra (Ejemplo Articulo 9 Constitucion del Japon)
8. La democratización de la Organizacion de Naciones Unidas
9. La Organizacion de las Naciones Unidas para declarar una decada por el desarme
10. Todos los Estados del Mundo para negociar un acuerdo verificable e irreversible a proposito del desarme nuclear.

Nos Comprometemos a:

· Mobilizar ciudades comunidades y ciudadanos por paz
(C4P por sus siglas en ingles “Citizens 4 Peace”)
· Promover una cultura de paz, fortaleciendo el espiritu humano a traves de la Educacion por la Paz, las artes y la comunicacion
· Construir redes efectivas que trasciendan la separacion y cooperar en la busqueda de un escenario comun, utilizando la la fortaleza de nuestra diversidad para alcanzar nuestros objetivos.
· Asegurar que este proceso se perpetue entre generaciones
· Apoyar aquellos que trabajan en otros asuntos de caracter social, ambiental y de sostenibilidad ya que todos ellos de una u otra forma estan intimimamente ligados en la consecucion de la paz
· Realizar y realzar la capacidad de la sociedad civil para construir y hacer paz en conjunto

Para lograr esto empoderaremos personas, sinergizaremos luchas y alimentaremos esperanza en Paz

Queremos un Mundo sin guerra, el Mundo que nuestros niños merecen

Merci à la Vie - Gracias a la vida

Merci à la vie qui m'a tant donné.
Elle m'a donné deux yeux et quand je les ouvre
Je distingue parfaitement le noir du blanc
Et là-haut dans le ciel, un fond étoilé
Et parmi les multitudes, l'homme que j'aime.

Merci à la vie qui m'a tant donné.
Elle m'a donné d'entendre, oreilles grandes ouvertes
Enregistrer nuit et jour grillons et canaris,
Marteaux, turbines, aboiements, orages,
Et la voix si tendre de mon bien-aimé.

Merci à la vie qui m'a tant donné.
Elle m'a donné la voix et des lettres
Avec lesquelles je pense les mots, et je dis
Mère, ami, frère, lumière qui éclaire
Le chemin de l'âme que j'aime.

Merci à la vie qui m'a tant donné.
Elle m'a donné de marcher de mes pieds fatigués
Et j'ai ainsi parcouru villes et marécages,
Plages et déserts, montagnes et plaines
Jusqu'à ta maison, ta rue, ta cour.

Merci à la vie qui m'a tant donné.
Elle m'a donné un coeur qui devient débordant
Quand je vois le fruit du cerveau humain ;
Quand je vois la distance qu'il y a entre le bien et le mal
Quand je vois le fond de tes yeux clairs.

Merci à la vie qui m'a tant donné.
Elle m'a donné le rire, elle m'a donné les pleurs.
Ainsi, je distingue le bonheur du désespoir
Ces deux éléments qui forment mon chant,
Et votre chant qui est le même chant,
Et le chant de tous, qui est encore mon chant.





Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio dos luceros, que cuando los abro,
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco,
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado,
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado el oído que, en todo su ancho,
Graba noche y día grillos y canarios
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos,
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto,
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario.
Con él las palabras que pienso y declaro,
"Madre,", "amigo," "hermano," y los alumbrando
La ruta del alma del que estoy amando.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados.
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
Playas y desiertos, montañas y llanos,
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazón, que agita su marco.
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo.
Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la risa, y me ha dado el llanto.
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto,
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto,
Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto.

Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Violeta Parra

JUST....



***
Some of you think Zen is very difficult, very painful. But you think you should overcome this difficulty in order to get so-called"enlightenment." Language can only describe this condition, but Zen urges us to realize This - our True Nature - using this corporeal body and mind.
Now of course Zen is difficult; but it is also too easy. It is neither difficult nor easy....

The Meaning Of Namu Dai Bosa
SOEN NAKAGAWA ROSHI
from a public meeting at New York Zendo Shobo-Ji,
March 28, 1974, Free Version
THE ZEN STUDIES SOCIETY

There are many kinds of sutras, but all of them are condensed into this Namu Dai Bosa. And this is condensed into Mu;.

Everything is condensed into this Namu Dai Bosa. Not only the four-dimension world in which we human beings live- but also the five, six and endless dimension worlds are all condensed into this Namu Dai Bosa. This Untouchable, Unthinkable universal world is each one of us; not only each one of us, but each one of our cells.

Each such thing- no matter how small -is a sentient being. This is the meaning of Dai. The true meaning of Dai is absolute, in even the smallest thing there is this Dai. Bosa means "enlightened one."

Each of your cells is an enlightened one. Believe this! You are all such wonderful persons. This is true- a true fact. This is not Zen; not Buddhism; not religious talk. It is just a plain fact. Right here, now- this is Namu Dai Bosa. There is no need to think about endless dimension universal worlds. Just Namu Dai Bosa. Just Mu. Just breathing. Just counting. Nothing else.


Just...

So wonderful, this Endless Dimension Universal World! So wonderful. Even one leaf, one flower- nothing but this Endless Dimension Universal Being.
