Inner worship

I do not need any Ganga water or flower or utensils for my worship, nor do I burn incense or light lamps. I have forgotten who Shiva, Kali or Durga are. I am merged in myself. My way of worship is different.

Jakusho Kwong-roshi er kennari Zen hópsins á Íslandi

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.

Kriya Yoga

 

Kriya Yoga is a scientific technique that closely follows the method of Patanjali. There is no need to abandon family life and go to the forest, nor is there any need to change one's eating habits. Also, there are no physical sufferings to be undergone. Most people labour under misconceptions that yoga means physical  feats, control of breath, and so on. But yoga, particularly Kriya Yoga, is different. There are various phases of Kriya Yoga. In the first phase, the restless and unstable mind becomes calm and directs itself to the divine.

By the practice of Kriya Yoga we attain a new goal of happiness, awakening, and Self-realization that enables us to live according to the highest existence. One will feel the presence of God and perceive Him in every object, every thought, and every feeling. By achieving his own Self-realization, one will understand that Kriya Yoga is the best that India has given; it offers the most scientific and easy technique of liberation.

 

Paramahansa Hariharananda - Kriya Yoga

Þitt sanna sjálf

Það er ekki hægt að lýsa því

með orðum.

Það er ekki hægt

að taka af því mynd.

Það er ekki hægt

að veita því lotningu.

Það er ekki hægt

að finna það.

Samt er það

þitt raunverulega sjálf.

Það dylur sig hvergi

á leyndum stöðum.

En þegar veröldin ferst

verður því ekki eytt.

 

Gamalt zen-ljóð

Buddha (Hinn uppljómaði)

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

Swami Satyanananda Giri

 

Never accuse others of their mistakes. If a person has only one good quality out of 100, try to see that good one, not the 99 bad ones.

 

Swami Satyanananda Giri

Zen-meistarinn Seung Sahn

 

Our mind is like a clear glass of water. If we put salt into the water, it becomes salt water; sugar, it becomes sugar water; shit, it becomes shit water. But originally the water is clear. No thinking, no mind. No mind, no problem.

 

Seung Sahn

A Life-Long Journey

Sometimes people leave their search for God until they are old, not knowing that old age is troubled by so many memories of the past, unfulfilled desires, worries, fear of death and an inflexible mind.

Spirituality is not a part-time job. It is a life-long journey, a soul conscious lifestyle and a life of eternity.

In India, there is a signs by the road that say, ´Start early, drive slowly and reach safely.´Not only is this a good advice while travelling, it also contains a beautiful spiritual message. So start spiritual practice at an early age, practice every day and reach the goal safely.

Frí

 

 

Ég er á leið í frí mín kæru og mun því ekki blogga í viku eða svo. Hafiði það sem best og njótiði sumarsins sama hvernig veðrið verður.

 

 

Om Shanti og Gassho
