PRIJEMOSNICA
Prije tridesetak godina psiholog i praktičar budizma John Welwood skovao je termin „psihološke prijemosnice“ kako bi objasnio poteškoće s kojima se susreću meditanti, kako oni koji rade sami, tako i oni koji žive u budističkim komunama. Poteškoća se odnosi na česti prigovor odn. nezadovoljstvo meditanata kako im meditacija više ne donosi ono zadovoljstvo za koje se činilo da ga je donosila kada su bili mlađi ili tek započinjali s praksom. Eh, pa sad… S godinama i iskustvom, čovjek razabire monogo toga. Često – a da toga nismo svjesni – posežemo za prakticiranjem duhovnih praksi upravo onda kada se nalazimo u zoni psihološke prijemosnice, tj. kada želimo zaobići ili odgurnuti od sebe neriješena emotivna stanja, zaliječiti psihološke rane i stvoriti dojam da završavamo razvojne zadatke koje nismo priveli k kraju. Kada “psihološki premošćujemo”, koristimo se induciranim osjećajem svjesnosti ili oslobođenja kako bismo sami sebi razumno objasnili nedozreli plod transcedencije (premature transcendence) ; Koristimo se čak i apsolutnom istinom da bismo umanjili i relativizirali vlastite potrebe, a prirodno je da one idu “u paketu” sa psihološkim i razvojnim disfunkcijama.
I – kao što rekoh – dok smo bili mladi i u zanosu, nesvjesni “prijemosnice” ekstatično smo pocupkivali umom. Ne vjerujem da u tome ima ičeg neoprostivog, ali ima nedorađenog posla. Rad na osvješćivanju prijemosnica čini se vrlo bitnim. Bilo da smo mladi ili stari.

Empathic Avalokiteshvara
Or Lord of the pitying looks from above is one of the most powerful and popular boddhisattvi in Mahayana Buddhism of Tibet, China and Japan. Named so because the compassionate looks of all sentient beings suffer the existence of evil. He has sent millions of times repeated the prayer with prayer wheels and hramovskih GoNgO va in Tibet: Om Mani Padme Hum - which means "the jewel in the lotus". Every minute prayer receives more than perhaps any other man known deity, because when the time of his final life on earth in human form has broken the bonds of the last threshold (in which a moment before it opened the universality of what lies beyond the illusion puzzles nesnosnih appointed and Bounded cosmos), he paused: he vowed that he would soon enter the universality bring all creatures without exception, the enlightenment, all ever since it pervades the entire fabric of being a divine helper moloću their presence, so that even the slightest prayer to him, across the immense spiritual empire of the Buddha He hears grace. In different forms it passes through ten thousand worlds, and occurs at the time of emergency and prayers. Reveals itself in human form with two hands, in superhuman forms with four arms, or six, or 12, ii a thousand, and one of the left hand holds a lotus world. Like the Buddha, this divine being is a form of uzvienog state that reaches the human hero who has overcome past horrors neznanjal "Once destroyed thee envelope of consciousness, he becomes free from all fear, stops outside the scope of changes (Secret Book of the East, vol. KLIX, pg. 148) It is the ability to relieve me of all of us, one that svatkko can achieve - and prowess, since, as we read, "Everything is Buddha (The Diamond Cutter, 17) or" All beings are deprived of self ".
