Renunciation of Avalokitesvara

[moonbeam]

So you celebrate not your own renunciation but the help of Avalokitesvara? *smile* In which kind does he/she helps you to keep you own vows?

So the celebration is maybe a kind of "thanks giving" of maybe the power of Avalokitesvara?

It helps me when I chant her name and pray to Her. She helps me be mindful of things. So it is a thanks giving. I hope to become as a good as Her. But to to be as good as Her, I need to follow the Buddhadharma.

"I need to follow the Buddhadharma" is a great statement, I am sure Avalokitesvara would be proud of you if she would get in touch with you.
I guess that is here main task, to bring people to the practice of the Buddhadharma. *smile* I don't think there is much hope needed if you already had join. You are simply on the way, so only your effort nothing else. Yes she would be really proud.

Like a mother when her child's are able to walk alone a happy and peaceful life.

The title makes me think of Nyungne practice which is of great benefit. A kind of 3-day-uposatha (vajrayana style).

kind regards

Can you explain your thought a little, one be might not have the same memories. *smile* Maybe it leads to a satisfactory explaining of the meaning of the name "Karmapa"

[ground]

I don't understand what you mean. You know what the uposatha precepts are, right? These are valid during 3-day Nyungne practice as well.

Kind regards

Sorry my mistake if was on another topic with may thoughts *smile* Thanks for sharing. Is this traditional usual to do this on this day? And if, maybe you like to explain a little what Nyungne practice is.

Too many postings don't necessarily foster concentration, right?

Thanks for sharing. Is this traditional usual to do this on this day? And if, maybe you like to explain a little what Nyungne practice is.

It came to my mind. Don't know what this day exactly is about. Sorry but I am not willing to explain to you. You may blame me for my unwillingness.


Kind regards

Why should I, would be your possibility for some Dana *smile*

Regarding the offtopic, I don't think so, but one could overestimate his mindfulness and is attached. The concentration was not the problem, I guess.

[ground]

Why should I, would be your possibility for some Dana *smile*

Dana is not an end in itself. Maybe Theravada teachings may entail exaggeration of it, exaggeration also called reification.
Discerning wisdom  - don't know whether such a kind of wisdom is taught in Theravada - may help to differentiate what is "right dana" in the context of what kind of recipient

But to contribute to the satisfying of your curiosity, I now make this dana:

Isn't it the most important paramita in Mahayana? But as you could be a serious yogi, I would not claim it. For sure, if you have shared everything already there is no need to share further, as you would not have anything left to share.  Regarding Dhamma Dana in this aspect, I am not sure *smile*

As for the gift of a tool to take, thanks for your well thought intention. I forgot that its not the highest virtue to request. *smile* Thanks for remembering me.

Don't know. I guess they are all equally important. It may be the starter however.

Again I do not share everything with everybody. But I have shared some thoughts with you. You should be content with that and not desire more 

Kind regards

You are right (as told already, its not a good virtue conduct to beg but a possibility for the rich), so I will be patient waiting in front of another door *smile*
