Om Surta.

Hello,

All dear Dharma friends.

Are you enjoying practicing the real Dharma?

Are you shift focus on Dharma?

Remember last time I said the most important shift focus on the right way,

Not the wrong way.

And take the opportunity so well.

Wise and foolish is only differences.

You take opportunity very well or not.

And how soon you take opportunity.

So this time our opportunity shift focus and focus inner and great reflection because these unusual circumstances give us focus shift to unusual inner focus,

More deeper focus.

Remember?

So because we have a force to not have the usual activities,

The external usual activities,

The typical usual activities we repeat,

Repeat centuries,

Centuries,

Again,

Again.

Even is meaningless.

Nobody really finds real meaning from these activities but still we kept doing.

Remember?

So this time this focus is shift but most of people shift on worries and fear and worry anxiety.

But we are Dharma practitioners so we should focus the opposite.

You know,

The real opportunity.

Remember?

So these things I talked last talk so much so I'm not talking to you too much this time.

So just remember if even we don't have a lot of outside activities but then if everybody shift focus in internet and you know useless chart and many destructions and internet if you did that is laziness.

Remember?

Laziness.

The act of laziness,

You know,

So you're wasting time.

So again is obstacle for rare Dharma practice.

Rare Dharma practice means is not your task.

It is not your obligation.

It is real improvement yourself.

Real strengthening yourself or real development to your true nature of enlightenment.

Remember?

So just that.

So this is very important and today I'm going to talk about more elaboration of what is Shambhala really is and what is Shambhala warrior is.

What is actually warrior means.

So those things I'm going to talk to you.

Okay?

And also I'm going to talk to you as how Kalachakra is the special Kalachakra Tantra.

How special and how superior and how we deal with this you know virus and this everybody's mentor problem.

Nowadays not just virus but the more problem is the mentor problem.

So how we deal with this?

Okay?

So how do we deal with this?

We don't have to have a lot of money.

We don't have to go external activities.

We don't have to find many other things to deal with this.

Okay?

So what we need is we just recognized what we already have and how we make good engagement and habit what we already have.

Okay?

So that means first we have to understand just the Shambhala.

So Shambhala has many levels.

Okay?

Meaning is purity and meaning is the source of all happiness enjoyment and beliefs.

Okay?

So this is means Shambhala.

Okay?

So these levels we already have within ourselves.

Okay?

And also we already have on this earth we already are on this earth is in Shambhala in many ways but usually and the traditional way we make everything narrow.

We make everything small.

We make everything difficult.

Okay?

So why?

Because we have small mind.

We have unflexible mind.

So that's why we don't understand Shambhala.

That's why we have so many problems but the problems we created ourselves.

So if we recognize that and then we know how to make no problems.

Okay?

So that is our topic today.

So let's say very simple short way.

The ultimate Shambhala,

The absolute Shambhala is your own true nature.

That's one.

Okay?

If that you don't understand yet then what is Shambhala is?

Oh,

Divine,

A pure mind.

You think something too far from you but actually is very close ourselves.

Okay?

So even if you don't understand this then we narrow down our mind and then what is Shambhala or something similar of the Amitabhaya Pure Land and Akshaya B.

I Pure Land,

You know,

And so forth.

Okay?

So even if we don't understand this then what it is?

Okay?

Because only we don't understand.

That's why.

Okay?

So for the small minded and then is Shambhala somewhere on our earth.

Why?

Why somewhere on earth?

Because we don't understand.

The whole world is Shambhala and all these things we don't understand because we are small minded.

So then we have to say somewhere on our land.

But even we understand or believe somewhere on our land,

That helps a lot.

So that's why the ancient text explain in that way.

Okay?

So just like your two years old child,

You don't understand very important things but then you try to make something small and simple,

Not hundred percent accurate but is a little bit help for the child and you tell something.

So like that.

You know the usual explanation of Shambhala on the earth is like that.

So why is very important of this?

Even this level,

Even this level of explanation Shambhala is far far more better than any other descriptions of Pure Land,

Any description of any other religion or even Buddhist different traditions to explain in the divine,

Pure lands or anything you know because this all Pure Land and everything explained in Buddhism is not a hundred percent clear and not something not really practical and some kind of fairy style similar and then you question question question then is there's no answer just disappear.

So Shambhala is not like that.

Shambhala is explained much more in the Kalachakra Tantra.

Who explained?

This is the Shambhala first Dharma kin you know Sujantra,

He and Buddha Shakyamuni between them discussion and question and answer.

So that's why it is much more clear than any other explanation.

That's one thing.

The other thing is much more practical because the Shambhala Pure Land and Shambhala Pure Land's mission is only talk about how transform our earth,

Our world,

Our humanity but any other Pure Land talk about talk about Pure Land or any other different types of Buddhist traditions talk or other religions talk is very very little not like Shambhala topic.

So that's why Shambhala is the most practical level,

The most connection level is the most important for the earth,

For this humanity,

For us.

Okay so if that cases how you make great connection with Shambhala is the only way the best way is Kalachara Tantra.

You practicing with Kalachara Tantra,

You study with Kalachara Tantra,

You know this is the best connection.

Why?

It's very very clear,

Very simple because Buddha taught Kalachara Tantra for the Shambhala kin,

Sujantra and for the Shambhala Dharma kin means Bodhisattva.

You know Shambhala Dharma kin means another way you can understand is the universal monarch.

Okay can you understand?

Universal monarch.

There is no such thing universal monarch other than Shambhala Dharma kin.

Okay so if you know somewhere else or something else is universal monarch,

Anybody tell me please but there is no other than Shambhala Dharma kin,

Queens,

This monarch Shambhala monarch is the universal monarch.

Okay what do you mean universal monarch means have the power of to rule the whole universe.

Rule means is not usual Samsaric king and monarch way of ruling.

It is liberation or liberation of all sentient beings especially first the humanity.

Okay the humanity liberated first so this is Shambhala's mission.

Who said that?

Not I made up it is Buddha,

Shambhala Dharma kin said in the Kalachara Tantra between discussion of Dharma kin,

Shambhala Dharma kin,

Sujantra and Buddha,

Shri Chitramani's discussion.

Okay so the mission is this impure humanity this impure unbalanced world going to liberate it going to transform that is mission of Shambhala.

So then what we what we can do what we should do we must understand this or if you not really understand must believe.

Must believe Buddha must believe Dharma kin.

Why?

Because this is the first step condition to transform our world,

You know liberate our world that's why we must believe and then second step what we should do we should practice what is Shambhala practice.

Maybe we cannot practice as a hundred percent as a Shambhala practices but we must do something similar.

What is similar is similar is that practice is love and compassion that's it.

When I say love and compassion you may think oh that's not special that's all Buddhism said every tradition of Buddhism said and other religions also sometimes talk about the love and compassion so is not special not in new maybe you think that but it is is new it is a special why because usually people don't understand what is the love and compassion misunderstanding there is a universal misunderstanding love and compassion why because again we have small minded we have unfexible minded and we have a bad habitual habitual patterns so that's why we we don't understand even love and compassion.

Okay how you don't understand love and compassion because say usually people say when say love and then people thinking something attachment you know so a nature of the attachment desire people only understand this way possessiveness so usually people understand oh love means oh I really love this I really want to this I really want to own it the I want this that's only I understand.

When you say compassion people understand again misunderstanding because people think or compassion is oh very sad other people suffering we have this problem Corona virus bah bah bah most old people die oh I'm very sad that kind of people think this is compassion oh maybe these love and compassion is better than zero better than very insensitive person's mind you at least as sensitive so you can see other people's suffering that is little bit better than no compassion no love zero love zero compassion so this is we can say standpoint about real love and compassion is not this you can understand please you listen carefully okay so love is it's not about you want something it is about you enjoy okay you enjoy you love means you enjoy it's not saying you want possessive is it's not saying it's not is you cannot stay without it's not that is is you enjoy to engage with this so that means if you can enjoy many things that means you have more love if you can enjoy only very little that means you have very little love okay so that police try to understand and then compassion is not about sad and self pity or pity of others it is it is genuine caring and not circuit not scared not operate zero fear no fear the opposite fair you know incredible determination and through the ash to the asm and no fear this is compassion you see you enjoy to do anything and you not have fear to do anything this together is perfect union of the love and compassion who don't want that anybody everybody wanted this definitely everybody need this and everybody have this already potential you just try to get rid of the bad habitual patterns if you do that then you are warrior you are warrior and warriors you are hero and heroines okay warrior means this shambhala warrior means also this okay all shambhala kings and queens and all shambhala people is warrior and warriors Bodhisattvas means that real Bodhisattva means that real Bodhisattva is not crying and sad okay crying and sad means weakening in your mind okay it's starting point yes somebody even someone suffer even can't cry that means oh you know cut out her heart not so good but if you go beyond that then is you don't cry you don't set why because it's nothing new for you doesn't change you in your mind you already know this is natural suffering but the good thing is you not scared to transform this and you are not have fear to transform this you know usually people think oh a liberator or sentient beings by myself that sounds ridiculous impossible you know because everybody have very struggling organizing their own lives how can you liberate all sentient beings how difficult one person to please how I can liberate all sentient beings yes this is logic but this logic is limited minded from the limited minder system have this logic yes according to thus limited system this logic is right but if you want to be Bodhisattva you have to go beyond that logic okay because the logic is limited because come from limited mental system so you have to go beyond that so you go beyond that then everything is enjoyable everything is you love to do it which means and you not scared to do anything you not have fear to do anything that means you have no fear or doubt to liberate all sentient beings and you love to do this you enjoy to liberate innumerable sentient beings do you understand this this is the priceless real jewel is this usually we say precious jewels is not precious jewels just just some stone you know something is real than the other stones but really really precious jewel the ultimate absolute precious jewel is this mind and this mind we already have just temporarily we have some dirt on outside this jewel so we just have to clean that we just have to eradicate this bad habit habitual patterns but that's not hard why not hard because you are willing if you're not willing you already give up before start then is really hard that's that then it's not only just hard impossible but you wouldn't do that because you have with a nature you have the perfect truth you have the bore a nature we just have to you know we just have to it's not discover we just have to unwell and the veil we just have to actualize our own tooth so if you do that and then transform this world first you transform your own world which means you are stuck and home you are stuck in a small room self-isolated or whatever or not completely self-related but some your family members you think it's boring you have so much much more important as to do or site but everybody thought that and so many thousands of years people doing this and didn't really got any important at all so now this is the time you can start journey you know your own mind to ward truth the Buddha nature the absolute truth and turn now we are not in the truth we are in illusion so now is the time to start you know this absolute truth explore the absolute truth how wonderful is that so think of that when I say Kalachakra is so important why in general yes or Dharma the talk about Buddha nature and transforming everything yes but how transform how elegant till you put this whole world this three realms at the external internal and the additional how elegant to be put is only Kalachakra Tantra that's why I'm saying so you see for instance the corona virus so many people have so many fear so much fear anxiety you know even a depression the whole world look at now what they doing what are the reactions you know actually this is nothing unusual absolutely we have hundreds of thousands dead conditions every day we face it but we don't have habit to think of that this way we pretend we're not going to die we don't have dead conditions and only corona virus we think like that way so I'm not denying there is corona virus in this world okay I'm not denying there's many hundreds of people dying from this but what I'm saying is this is a usual we just shift focus this time so that's why we make big deal so in Kalachakra way practice Kalachakra Tantra is not this way practice Kalachakra means you balanced the ecosystem you balanced your body health mind healthy mind healthy body healthy attitude you know healthy perspective healthy motivation this is the Kalachakra practice you know if you do that then you transforming you balancing the external world too either you think the virus is external or internal seems like a little bit external but then also cannot live with without humans body so that means it sounds like internal but doesn't matter the external world internal world they also are temporarily a different they also are a little bit different aspect same nature a different aspect that's why okay either way virus means is not something evil and nothing to do with other sentient beings nothing to do with this universe it's not like that it is temporary and balanced as small particles so if our mind have the right attitude right perspective right motivation this makes a balance this is million times better than better than any other solution do you know that why any other solution is treating a symptom not illness but this balance in our mind with love and compassion then it is treating the illness the root of the illness you can see even somebody have less worry and better immune system in the body this disease not effective why because that means a little balance in their body in their mind this is limited a balance but still help as individuals but if we balance it with rare love and compassion I'm talking about the love and compassion are described that one I'm talking about not the usual habituate our small idea of love and compassion I'm not talking about that if we do this true love and compassion in our mind and then read this right attitude right perspective this is balanced the whole universe not all just only our body so maybe I have to explain a little bit what is right perspective Oh Kalachegara means the right perspective Kalachegara is go beyond on this universe but this universe also Kalachegara's appearances means not real but cannot appear without Kalachegara so that means Kalachegara has full control at this appearances this world this universe this we have to understand this rad view rad perspective then what is rad attitude rad attitude is oh this virus is not something evil this our this virus something positive which means something bad as separate nothing to do with the universe nothing to do with us not like that you accepted inclusive this virus is aspect our own our universe our own body so we just need balance we just need equalize equality not going to extreme so this virus temporarily a liter some more tiny of unbalanced not this is only the unbalanced we have other millions unbalances we have we should treat together make balance not just shift focus only on this virus I'm not saying you not try to isolate you not wear mouth mass you not wash your hands I'm not saying that this is since it's obvious temporary solution of course we do that but if this is we try to avoid in some symptoms but if you really want to treat our root over the illness then we have to understand this culture that's the best and best solution what is motivation rad motivation means we want balance whole world not blaming each other you know or somebody made this their fault not that if really somebody made it if really somebody want to destroy this humanity so therefore you made this virus then you're going to destroy anyway you're going to destroy by Shambhala warriors anyway that means not only Shambhala warriors our warrior nature of the mind this love and compassion they're going to destroy anyway why they're not very strong that's Buddha already said in the Kalash but they didn't say extremists you know in traditional way very small-minded way to explain because people don't understand that time people very uneducated villages people's people village fighting each other take over each other kill each other that time that kind of mind Buddha explained so 21st century people still explain exactly that way is wrong explanation that's why my Shambhala book explains everything it better way so now I'm a briefly explaining that so anything and balanced Shambhala warriors we wouldn't say destroy we say anything and balanced they will make and balance this ancient term called destroy army a Shambhala army Shambhala soldiers I'm going to destroy these you know such-and-such so then we identify that some uncounted some other religion and then distance is wrong interpretation meaning is anything unbalanced if this Corona virus somebody made it to purpose to destroy the humanity that means who's thinking this mind and and the Corona virus both were balanced they are imbalanced so it well in balanced through the Kalachakra Tantra practice okay so we maybe don't have to wait many years if this imbalances comes this mix Shambhala rises okay because Shambhala is antidote of the imbalance so that's why don't worry this disease also temporary so and we just have to make our own condition to right way right perspective right attitude right motivation not drunk in the bad habitual patterns is we take opportunity to become warrior ourselves to become a bodhisattva take this opportunity looking in water and make balance our own mind first that means you making balance the whole world the whole universe so that means you cheating the illness of the virus not temporary even we make vaccinated even we able to make the waxenin that's still temporary solution but if we can make a real Watson and our mind you know this rear love and compassion warrior mind this is a vaccine forever for this universe whole universe not just individuals so that's why everybody can you understand can you do this for me can you do this for our universe can you do this for Shambhala dharmakins and sages can you do this for Buddha Shakyamuni I'm sure you can we all can why because we are a same nature of the Buddha nature you know the sujantra dharmakin and Pentra raka dharmakin you know the mangeri asha kar ki aja all of them is we have same nature we all have the Buddha nature automatically just temporarily we are a little bit different level so we have the same nature so don't forget that and check this great opportunity to study at least to study understand what is Kalachara means what is Shambhala means and then meditate on that and what is real love what is real compassion you know this love and compassion means Kalachara tantra inside the deity Kalachara masculine and Vishwamata the feminine's union together means this true love and compassion union together transforming this world means you know you enjoy the union of the masculine and feminine this from this great blessing reborn the children of the all Mandela the whole universe that's why all her universe is pure absolute pure so there is no room virus there is no room for any dirtiness any weakness so that's why Kalachara yabim the union of the deities is within ourselves so externally we cannot live without feminine's masculine alone we cannot feminine's care not born any anything without masculine internally same we have to understand this nature if you understand this nature then you start in understand andriana if you started understand andriana you start in transform whole world so please be with tantra be with Kalachara union home wajara Samanta so ha
