The Purpose of Yoga

 

Hér getið þið lesið bókina The Purpose of Yoga eftir Gopi Krishna

 

Entirely unprepared for such a development, I was completely taken by surprise; but regaining my self-control, keeping my mind on the point of concentration. The illumination grew brighter and brighter, the roaring louder, I experienced a rocking sensation and then felt myself slipping out of my body, entirely enveloped in a halo of light. It is impossible to describe the experience accurately. I felt the point of consciousness that was myself growing wider surrounded by waves of light. It grew wider and wider, spreading outward while the body, normally the immediate object of its perception, appeared to have receded into the distance until I became entirely unconscious of it. I was now all consciousness without any outline, without any idea of corporeal appendage, without any feeling or sensation coming from the senses, immersed in a sea of light simultaneously conscious and aware at every point, spread out, as it were, in all directions without any barrier or material obstruction. I was no longer myself, or to be more accurate, no longer as I knew myself to be, a small point of awareness confined to a body, but instead was a vast circle of consciousness in which the body was but a point, bathed in light and in a state of exultation and happiness impossible to describe.

I think you're all enlightened, until you open your mouths.

Becoming the selflessness in serving people is one of the greatest rewards

 

Buddhism or the Buddhadharma is different than becoming a good person. Because when you want to become a good person, when you want to do good, you become a purpose, you have a purpose of being good, of what you think is good. So we even have to transcend that.

Studying Zen is not becoming a good person, but becoming a human being. When you become a human being then you are naturally ... you realize your basic goodness. Even ourselves are basic goodness. Then you realize the basic goodness of others. That's goodness.

So, It's not doing good things for people. Becoming the selflessness in serving people is one of the greatest rewards.

Jakusho Kwong-roshi

Gleðilegt ár!

 

Ég óska ykkur öllum gleðilegs árs og vona að árið 2010 verði ykkur farsælt.

 

 

Gæt Þessa dags
því hann er lífið
lífið sjálft.
Og í honum býr allur veruleikinn
og allur sannleikur tilverunnar
unaður vaxtar og grósku
dýrð hinna skapandi verka
ljómi máttarins.
Því að gærdagurinn er draumur
og morgundagurinn hugboð
en þessi dagur í dag
sé honum vel varið
umbreytir hverjum gærdegi
í verðmæta minningu
og hverjum morgundegi í vonarbjarma.
Gæt þú því vel þessa dags.
