A man sees the rope in the twilight he mistakenly apprehends a snake and develops fear. To remove this fear he must remove the mind apprehending a snake by realizing that there is no snake. Even then, if the rope is left in the same place there is a danger that the same mistake will be made in the future. The only way to remove this danger is to remove the rope. Similarly, sentient beings observing their aggregates in the darkness of their ignorance mistakenly apprehend an inherently existent I. This mind grasping at an inherently existent I is the root of samsara and the source of all fear. To remove the fears of samsara we must remove this mind by realizing that there is no inherently existent I.

Geshe-la.

They will undergo a very thorough and rigorous training process that lasts about 10 minutes, and then they will be available for public comments and questions.

:fu:
Thank you for the trust in putting me into a position where I may serve the community. I didn't come to this position to have power over anyone, but to be of service.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
I will endeavor to live up to this standard.

Very wise choices Caz and you deserve a pat on the back for that.. :anjali: and Spiny, you have a very good foundation of the Dharma. :jinsyx: :jinsyx: :jinsyx: :jinsyx: :jinsyx:

To cut off all ties is the best consort
To live alone is a friend of duty
To treat foes as guests is to rid hatred
To treat hindrances as void is not so bad
They all are magic like plays of the mind
This is the only right way we could find

If one acts with no virtue or good Karma
He will never know the truth of Dharma
If a trusted Lama becomes tired
He will find it hard to be admired

All the best.
