How can you as a separate, ego-bound human being save all sentient beings? Impossible. You can intend to, but here is the key. When you dis-identify with your particle nature, when you dis-identify with your ego-bound, separate, limited, attached consciousness and you become who and what you truly are, by being truly mindful, by enlightening yourself, by awakening your mind, by focusing on your breathing, focusing on your inner body, focusing on all the phenomena around you without label or judgment, and allowing the boundary between inside and outside to dissolve – which is in essence saving yourself or transcending your limited, ego-bound, contracted state – then you truly do save all sentient beings, because you are all sentient beings, you are one with the entire field of conscious energy that is the Universe. ~ Jim Giorgi
Dharma Talks
In the tradition of the Buddha's teaching:
In the virtual world of Second Life (free membership) as DoKwang Augenblick I give Dharma Talks once or twice a week at the Buddha Center to an international community, taking questions and encouraging discussion. Using notes from those talks I have written an expanded version of each talk to share with my readers. (these are read-only ©2010 Jim Giorgi)
