"Lama Dawa Rinpoche used to say Santa [Claus] is none other than Vaishravana, the king of the northern direction, who is known as the god of wealth, surrounded by his retinue of yakshas (dwarves), and living in the northernmost realm.

Offerings used to be placed at trees associated with Vaishravana in hopes he would grant wishes and bestow wealth (now we make offerings of cookies and milk to Santa). The christmas tree is the 'Wish-fulfilling tree' and Santa's seed syllable is HO."

~ Kunzang Dechen Chodron

Because surely, Subhuti, fearless bodhisattvas do not cling to a dharma, much less to no dharma. This is the meaning behind the Tathagata's saying, 'A dharma teaching is like a raft. If you should let go of dharmas, how much more so no dharmas.'

—Diamond Sutra

إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمْ لَهَا وَٰرِدُونَ ٩٨

Certainly you disbelievers and whatever you worship instead of Allah will be the fuel of Hell. You are all bound to enter it.

Surah 21 Al-Anbya 98

Based on the perception of the Observer, nature of samsara is recognized even in the Quran; in particular, it recognizes that the matter of hell itself will be the very imagination.

12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O [a]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the [b]lowest depths of the Pit.

16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who [c]did not open the house of his prisoners?’

Fucking kikes

Although the warrior's life is dedicated to helping others, he realizes that he will never be able to completely share his experience with others...Yet he is more and more in love with the world. That combination of love affair and loneliness is what enables the warrior to constantly reach out to help others. By renouncing his private world, the warrior discovers a greater universe and a fuller and fuller broken heart. This is not something to feel bad about; it is a cause for rejoicing.

—Trungpa Rinpoche

Gratitude to Parents - Anguttara Nikaya 2.33

“I tell you, monks, there are two people who are not easy to repay. Which two? Your mother and father.

You would not have done enough to repay your mother and father even if you were to carry your mother around on one shoulder and your father on the other, and if you lived like this for a hundred years, and if you were to anoint, massage, bathe, and rub them; and even if they were to defecate and urinate right there.

Even if you were to establish your mother and father as supreme monarchs of this great earth, abounding in the seven treasures, you would still not have done enough to repay them. Why is that?

Mother and father do much for their children.
They care for them, they nourish them, they introduce them to this world.

Repaying the Profound Kindness of Parents

But you have done enough, more than enough, to repay them if you encourage, settle, and ground unfaithful parents in faith, unethical parents in ethical conduct, stingy parents in generosity, or ignorant parents in wisdom.”

- Buddha, AN 2.33

Babylon wages war on Babylon, Babylon vanquishes the evil of Babylon, Babylon falls and Babylon rises, The wars aren't real but the genocides of your people are,
How they massacre you like cattle!
How God weeps for your misguided souls!

Their merchants did trade, Their leader(s?) wore their cross, Are you truly so blinded by the Serpent's propaganda?!
Where did their scientists go?!
You question where the bodies went, where do we put ours?

The serpent bites its tail, in death they are reborn.

You don't know how much you appreciate the sound of someone's voice until it's gone.

A good meditation and pointing out of God, or enlightenment, or whatever you want to call it, the nature of selflessness.

It dawned on me that since our wellbeing is interdependent and we are practitioners of "trading self for other" this teaching can be condensed into our capacity of giving and receiving love.
The whole of existence is calling for our attention, what is seen wants to be seen and heard wants to be heard. Pain wants to be acknowledged and compassion is this. Our bodies are talking to us. Everything is an expression of desire.

Whatever arising I try to see as this, how can I be of benifit.
