Welcome to this site on Ganden Nyengyu Buddhism. Ganden Nyengyu is the Ear-Whispered Lineage of Ganden, founded in the 14th century by the great Je Tsongkhapa. This site was already called ngalso.dk before Lama Gangchen's organization changed its site to ngalso.org and is thereby NOT officially associated with Gangchen Rinpoche's organization. All posts, pages etc. are thus NOT expressions of official opinions by Gangchen Rinpoche's organization (these can be found on ngalso.org).

But whoever is purged of depravity, well-established in virtues and filled with self-control and truthfulness, he indeed is worthy of the yellow robe.

Whoever being depraved, devoid of self-control and truthfulness, should don the monk's yellow robe, he surely is not worthy of the robe.

Forår, Sommer, Efterår, Vinter…og Forår

Originaltitel: Bom Yeoareum Gaeul Gyeoul Geurigo Bom (2003)
1 t. 43 min.
Koreansk filminstruktør Kim Ki-duks film Forår, Sommer, Efterår, Vinter….og Forår er en af de smukkeste film jeg nogensinde har set.
Så vanvittig smuk i sin enkelthed, og alligevel meget kompleks og dyb.
Der er meget få personer i filmen og meget lidt dialog. Hele filmen foregår omkring et flydende buddhistisk tempel på en sø i et koreansk naturområde. Naturen er ufattelig smuk filmet.
Man kan sige meget om denne film med hensyn til det cykliske liv, lidelse, karma, buddhisme osv., men man skal egentlig bare se den. En stille aften, hvor man ikke vil blive forstyrret. Den vil imponere.
The Garden
The Garden, skrevet af Geshe Michael Roach er en god begynderbog i tibetansk buddhisme, skrevet på engelsk. Bogen gennemgår basalt set tusinde år (tibetansk) buddhistisk visdom, fortalt gennem parablen af en ung mand i en have, hvor han møder forskellige buddhistiske Mestre, såsom Mestre Shantideva og Kamalasila).

Bogen er en meget kort og meget forenklet forklaring af mange Buddhistiske kernelæresætninger, såsom de Fire Ædle Sandheder, den Ottefoldige Sti, Meditation, Karma, og Tomhed, og dermed en udmærket bog for nybegyndere. Bogen er en god introduktion og kan være en appetitvækker for mere.

Vers 8.

Just as a storm cannot prevail against a rocky mountain, so Mara can never overpower the man who lives meditating on the impurities, who is controlled in his senses, moderate in eating, and filled with faith and earnest effort.

Just as a storm throws down a weak tree, so does Mara overpower the man who lives for the pursuit of pleasures, who is uncontrolled in his senses, immoderate in eating, indolent, and dissipated.

Magnifying glass

Even though sunbeams are very hot
without a magnifying glass, they can't ignite a fire.
It is the same with the blessings of the Buddhas:
Without the guru, they cannot enter the disciple !

There are those who do not realize that one day we all must die.
But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.

Hatred never ceases through hatred in this world;
through love alone does it cease. This is an eternal law.
