Vortrag: Tod und Wiedergeburt

30.11.2024, 20:00 Uhr
Schulstrasse 16
64283 Darmstadt
Eintritt: 8 €

Leben, Sterben, Tod und Wiedergeburt folgen seit anfangsloser Zeit zyklisch aufeinander. Der Körper stirbt tatsächlich und, weil er aus Bedingungen zusammengesetzt ist, fällt auseinander. Er wird nicht wiedergeboren.

Der Geist ist wie der Raum und deshalb unbedingt: Aus diesem Grund kann er nicht sterben und wird auch nicht wiedergeboren. Die im Geist gespeicherten positiven wie negativen Eindrücke bleiben erhalten, ob ein Körper mit ihm verbunden ist oder nicht. Unser jetziges Leben bestimmt das zukünftige. Damit man eine gute Wiedergeburt bekommt, ist es sinnvoll, dieses Leben zu nutzen, viel Sinnvolles für andere zu tun und seinen Geist zu beherrschen. Damit hat man es ausschließlich selbst in der Hand, sein zukünftiges Leben zu steuern.

We practice the Buddha dharma so that we may not only control our emotions, but eventually work in harmony with our emotions. We practice the Buddha dharma so that in times of storms, we do not avoid the storms, we do not carried away by them, we simply let them be. Then, something beautiful will emerge.

Question: How can we know whether we’re on the right or wrong path?

Lama Ole’s answer:

For this, there are outer and inner signs. If one is on the wrong path, one might attract difficult people again and again, who are then hard to get rid of. One has a sort of outer energy-hook that pulls those people towards oneself. It is possible to do this out of compassion, too, but then that should happen consciously. The inner sign of being on the wrong path is that disturbing feeling—like envy, jealousy, pride, confusion, and so on—become stronger.

You will sense that you are on the right path through noticing that you attract pleasant things on the outer level. And on the inner level, disturbing feelings will vanish and more space and freedom will emerge.

But mind is king; we ourselves have the freedom to decide what happens. If we are on a difficult path, we can decide, “I am a Bodhisattva. I’m helping all beings in pain and purifying their suffering.” With this attitude, we get through everything safely. We leave the heavy luggage behind and then quickly get ahead.
