Tibetan Buddhism

My experience with Tibetan Buddhism began in earnest around 1980. My wife and I married in 1980 and she had had experiences with Native American Medicine men and women before we met. Though I was very interested in them as well as Tibetan Lamas (which both have a similar non-dualistic attitude towards life, I had been raised by mystical Christian ministers and was still emotionally at least getting over dualism in my personal spiritual evolution.

Finally, I realized it was time in my forward progression to go to a Tibetan Buddhist initiation in Ashland Oregon. I remember it was snowing as we entered the meeting hall which was then above what it now the Green Leaf Restaurant in Ashland, Oregon. There I met His Holiness Gyaltrul Rinpoche for the "Thousand Buddhas Empowerment".

However, my experience was in walking into the meeting hall where about 100 to 200 chairs had been set up was to experience two simultaneous realities. I had never been 'walking around' experiencing anything like this before where I was two completely different places at once without just falling down from the experience. However, somehow this all worked and I walked to my seat amazed and realized this path was likely where I needed to go in my life.

The other place I was was in Tibet in a past life with this Tibetan Lama where I was wearing a loincloth and my teacher in that lifetime was Gyaltrul Rinpoche. So, I realized this was a path I needed to reembark upon in this lifetime as well.

The basis of Tibetan Buddhism is Compassion. Through compassion one can generate a very powerful aura of compassion. When you are compassionate to yourself and all life everywhere you find that supernatural abilities automatically arise in this process as life trusts you implicitly.

This way the supernatural abilities often automatically manifest in and around you because you do not have hate towards any other part of life. When this happens you can feel it changing all life around you. Sometimes you are aware of being able to change time and space in this process too. But most of the time the changes to time and space are automatic and generated by your onward discipline of compassion towards yourself and all life in the universe 24 hours a day.

note: I am both a Mystical Christian and a Tibetan Buddhist. 25% of Buddhists believe in God so when I say "By God's Grace"  it is because the Experience of God in, through and around me is also a 24 hour a day experience too.

There is nowhere that God is not. God is within you and I and in every thought we think and in every experience we have.

There is nowhere that God is not.

There is nowhere that Buddha is not.

There is no contradiction in this.
