Mind / No Mind is Buddhism simplified and refined further. Read this to understand the
basic tenets of Buddhism as understood by the Dalai Lama. Then as
you go through each statement you will see the link.

who let me read a copy of this book which he was carrying.)
Movie
Kundun
The two quotes he remembers
- 1) Pride is the cause of all suffering. 2) Dalai
Lama sees a safe return back to Tibet.
He will, once the
Chinese are humbled.
By then, we will no longer need a Dalai
Lama.
The Tibetans have a ceremony where they seek advice
from an Oracle. This is perhaps their method of Remote Viewing.
Wayne's note: Wayne watched this - May 2006. (Wayne has no "allegiance" to "being Chinese", only the truth)
Kundun Trailer
Kundun may be available on Youtube. Check here.
As of July 2009 - Kundun is available in French on Dailymotion.
The current Dalai Lama is designated as the 14th. However, since each Dalai Lama is regarded as the
reincarnation of his predecessor, it can also be interpretted that there is/ever has been only one.
How many were there before the other 13?
Metaphor - Movie - Kundun - The Cause of All Suffering
Teacher - Consider the importance of the 4 noble truths. What are the 4 noble truths? DL - The 4 noble truths as taught by the Lord Buddha are -- DL - The Truth of Suffering, the Truth of Why We Suffer, The Truth of the End of Suff... Regent- You are exhibiting too much pride here. Lower your head. Ling Rinpoche is your teacher. Bow down before him. Teacher - What are the causes of suffering? Regent- Pride. Pride causes suffering. You recite. Think of what you know. DL- I need to squeeze this brain. Teacher - Answer DL - First, one understands that he causes much of his own suffering needlessly. DL - Second, he looks for the reasons for this in his own life. To look is to have confidence in one's own ability to end the suffering. DL - Finally, a wish arises to find a path to peace for all beings desire happiness. All wish to find their purest selves. Regent - It's time for you to leave him....(speaking of brother / childhood friend)
Metaphor - Movie - Kundun - Remote Viewing Example
45 minute mark remote viewing which reveals -- 5 forms of DEgeneration
1
IDEology
danger from
within and without
2
DEvotion
3
skill
4
regret
5
failure
Explantion - IDEology - "Need" a system of thinking, but if it is too rigid, then will cause problems. DEvotion - to be too attached to a particular system / way of thinking.
Skill is related to pride of intelligence. regret and failure are related to shame
(GRE = CRY. So...regret = crying again)
(The Dalai Lama has shame - there is a recent video clip of him saying it on the last disc of BBC Planet Earth)
Screen shots from Disc 5 of Planet Earth. Episode - Living Together. At ~ 48:00 minute mark.
Metaphor - Movie - Kundun - Tibetan Sky Burial
(Alternative view of Death & Burial)
59 minute mark eating the dead...vultures
------------
Some in Buddhism say the worst sin is ignorance. ...what about ignorance of self...pride
Somebody forgot to tell the (Tibetan) Buddhists - that bowing and shame are part of pride too! ...there's a message here for non-Buddhists too...
