Dalai Lama : The Need for Secular Ethics in Modern Education.
“For thousands of years, Indians have explored and trained the mind through calm abiding and analytical meditation. Modern education, which originated in the West, includes no understanding of how to tackle our emotions. Consequently, highly educated people have been involved in the design and manufacture of increasingly sophisticated weapons, including nuclear weapons. These inventions have required intelligence and technical ingenuity, but their production is completely devoid of moral scruples. The principles of compassion and non-harming are not involved.
“In such cases, instead of bringing about inner peace, the brilliant human mind has invoked the destructive emotions of anger, fear and anxiety. Today, just as everyone observes physical hygiene, there is a corresponding need for emotional hygiene, and we can find instructions about that in ancient Indian tradition. That’s why I believe India is especially well-placed to combine modern, materialistic education with non-violence and compassion.
“In the last century, Mahatma Gandhi sincerely pursued the path of non-violence and in due course many people across the world followed his example. In Africa, there was Nelson Mandela and in America, Martin Luther King. In fact, Martin Luther King’s wife told me he was so impressed by Mahatma Gandhi that he even wanted to dress like him.
“Here in the 21st century, we should try to promote ancient Indian knowledge of non-violence and compassion and combine it with modern education.”
His Holiness mentioned that he is bound by four commitments. As a human being, one of the seven billion alive today, he recognises that, whether we have a religious faith or not, we all need peace of mind. And that is the basis on which humanity can become happier, more peaceful, less fearful, which in turn is the basis for genuine world peace.
“In such cases, instead of bringing about inner peace, the brilliant human mind has invoked the destructive emotions of anger, fear and anxiety. Today, just as everyone observes physical hygiene, there is a corresponding need for emotional hygiene, and we can find instructions about that in ancient Indian tradition. That’s why I believe India is especially well-placed to combine modern, materialistic education with non-violence and compassion.
His Holiness observed that in a democracy faith is a matter of personal choice. “If you’re inclined to follow a theistic path like Christianity or Islam that’s personal decision. And if you feel more comfortable in a non-theistic Buddhist or Jain context, that’s up to you too. Whatever religious path you follow, it ought to help you transform your emotions and help you cultivate warm-heartedness.
In relation to the Covid-19 pandemic His Holiness expressed his appreciation of all those doctors and nurses who are caring for the sick, often at risk to themselves. While encouraging those who are conducting different kinds of research into remedies for the virus, he suggested that Ayurveda, Yunani, yoga, as well as the Tibetan and Chinese medical traditions, may have something to contribute too.
Naveen Sharma thanked His Holiness for talking with the group and expressed the hope that the educators had benefited from the interaction.
His Holiness’s concluding advice was that there is always room to learn more. Masters of the Nalanda Tradition never stopped investigating, analysing and extending their knowledge. He asserted that although it’s good to be contented with material things, there need be no such limit with regard to deepening your understanding.

A Short Notice To The Surface Population
Next two weeks will include some decisive moments which will determine to a great degree how the battle between the positive and negative timelines will play out.
Although the positive end result is secured, the way to there is not, and the Light Forces are asking everybody to do the Flower of Life meditation as often as they feel guided, in the next two weeks especially:
They are also asking people to visualize the Flower of Life grid encompassing the planet and helping to harmonize the situation:
Visualizing planet Earth and especially the planetary surface completely immersed in pink Light is also helpful.
There will be two key moments where more massive participation in the Flower of Life meditation would be advised.
The first one is the moment of Mars Saturn square which occurs on Monday, August 24th at 6:19 pm GMT. Flower of Life meditation at that moment will help dissipating the violent energy in the planetary energy field which will reach its peak at that moment.

Let's keep our integrity intact
Dhammapada verse 84by lynnjkelly |
He is indeed virtuous, wise, and righteous who neither for his own sake nor for the sake of another (does any wrong), who does not crave for sons, wealth, or [power], and does not desire success by unjust means. (translated by Acariya Buddharakkhita)
Unlike many of the verses in the Dhammapada, this one seems to be addressed not to monastics but to laypeople. I've substituted the word "power" for "kingdoms", on advice from my in-house Pali scholar.
The first takeway could be that we cannot accomplish anything good if we are doing harm along the way. One example might be a teacher or parent acting unnecessarily harshly to "teach someone a lessson". In such cases, the only lesson learned is that bullying is the way of the world. Another example is trying to gain wealth by unethical means, even if we have a legitimate need for funds.
In ancient India, sons were considered a form of wealth, along with farms, cattle, and bonded servants. When one is in a position of power, the temptation may be present to preserve and increase one's assets through means that are not entirely fair to all parties.
It's interesting, too, that the case of doing wrong in order to benefit someone other than oneself is mentioned. So, making appeals on false grounds in order to help a person, or a cause one desires to advance, is explicitly condemned. In short, if the means are corrupt, the ends cannot be good; the means can't justify the ends.
There is also a clear reference to right livelihood in this verse, mostly by way of describing wrong livelihood. It invites us to consider whether we want something so badly that we start imagining or investigating ways to acquire it that might not otherwise occur to us -- cheating on an exam, for example, or getting a desired result through bribery.
It will always be wise to keep our integrity intact. We can only do this with continuous mindfulness of our motives and actions.

Prayer for the children
The world cannot go on denying that this is really happening. The full truth of this is going to come out soon. The Franklin Cover Up, the pizza gate scandal and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal are just the tip of the iceberg.
In my books I talked about a man we called the Baron. Basically he was a smaller version of what Jeffery Epstein was. This all took place decades ago, long before the internet, and since then things have changed. It is now possible for the truth to come out.
You cannot stop a bomb once it explodes, and what I see now is a TRUTH BOMB that is exploding in the world. This TRUTH BOMB is exposing these organized child prostitution groups. This TRUTH BOMB is showing the public how child prostitution is used to blackmail influential persons so that the blackmailers can achieve greater wealth and political power.
So this is a problem that all caring people in the world must be prepared to deal with now. And the first step to solving any problem is to pray about it. If you pray to God first, everything that follows will be according to God’s loving guidance. So I am now going to say a prayer for the children. And I ask that when you are finished watching this video, please say a prayer for the children, in whatever way is right for you. And then tell others to pray.
God Almighty, thank you for the many blessings that you have given to all humanity. Thank you for hearing our prayers. We are now aware that thousands of children in every country around the world are being abused by organized child prostitution rings. But we have faith that your divine power is greater than any power on Earth. Thank you for sending the power of the Holy Spirit to help us in so many ways. Thank you for the army of your angels who guide and defend us. When possible, may the hearts of these child abusers be turned away from evil, back to decency. May the hearts and minds of those in authority be guided by your divine righteousness so that they liberate and help these abducted children. Thank you for having sent your angels to comfort the souls of the hundreds of thousands of children who have already been lost to these evil practices. May you open the eyes of those who refuse to see this problem. May you open the hearts of those who fail to care about these children. May you open the minds of those who refuse to believe in the truth. We pray for all this in the holy name of your son, our Savior, Lord Jesus Christ. Truly.
Please share with your friends. Thank you for reading and remember to pray for the children, in your own way.

The Truth about the COLD WAR.
The Cold War The Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union was an elaborate hoax orchestrated by The Illuminati who secretly own and control both countries. In reality, both countries were secretly operating as one entity throughout “The Cold War.” The truth of this was known only to a handful of “insiders” at the time. The Illuminati secretly own and operate the Military Industrial Complex, and the purpose of the hoaxed “Cold War” was to extort trillions and trillions of dollars from taxpayers on both sides via the mass production of nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles for a “Cold War” that was not even real!

You Can Do This: Why Meditation Is for Everyone
18.08.2020 21:51 Meditation | Health
Possibly the most persistent myths regarding meditation are that it’s difficult, it involves struggle or laser-like focus, or that it is reserved for a privileged few who possess the mental or genetic makeup necessary to settle the mind. However, none of these beliefs are true. Popular culture has done meditation practice somewhat of a disservice by often making it appear unreachable, other-worldly, loaded with philosophical or mystical trappings, or veiled in secrecy. Fortunately, the deeper understandings of mind-body wellness and the demystification of the world’s wisdom traditions have helped to blow the dust off the outdated views of meditation that kept it out of reach of the general public.
Put simply, meditation is for everyone. It’s a process and a practice that is a natural and inherent birthright we all carry within us. When the first sages and seers of remote antiquity discovered the ability to settle their minds, they heralded a new era in humanity—the activation of our mind-body’s restful awareness response. Not unlike Roger Bannister, running the first four-minute mile in 1954, who unlocked the door to what was physically and physiologically possible, the first meditators unlocked the door to higher states of awareness that we can all experience and benefit from today.
To further illustrate meditation’s universal applicability, consider the following.
The Mind’s Urge for Stillness Is Built In
While the body is geared for activity, the mind, if given the opportunity, will naturally be drawn to settling down. The simple act of sitting comfortably with closed eyes activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system and the mind’s tendency to go within. Whenever the input from the senses is withdrawn, the mind begins to go inward. Like a tortoise drawing in its limbs, unplugging our senses allows the mind to be calm while simultaneously expanding into higher states of awareness.
Meditation Is Universal in Value
In other words, meditation works for all people, everywhere. As we all share common traits that are part of the human experience, the methodical practices of meditation affect all human beings similarly across time and space. Meditation’s universal effectiveness, therefore, is a byproduct of the laws of nature that apply equally to us all. In the same way that gravity applies uniformly to all humans, regardless of gender, age, or national origin, the practice of meditation is valuable for everyone on earth.
There Are No Bad Meditators
Meditation is natural and has no biases. It can be done by anyone, regardless of background or experience. As Krishna reminds Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita:
On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Even a little effort towards spiritual awareness will protect you from the greatest fear. 2:40
No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. 6:40
While these passages may seem somewhat esoteric and mystical, they still reflect the important truth that you really can’t fail at meditation. Take comfort in Krishna’s words of encouragement and recognize that you can do this. There are no bad meditators, only less effective ways to learn. Since meditation is a unique skill, it stands to reason that thoroughly learning both the theory and experience, taking the time to learn a practice from a high-quality source such as a book, an online program like Chopra Global’s Primordial Sound Meditation Master Course, or a meditation app will help you reap meditation’s many rewards and feel successful in your practice.
It’s important to remember that if whatever source of instruction you follow isn’t working for you: Don’t give up on meditation and don’t give up on yourself. Recognize what didn’t work, try another practice, and keep exploring until you find what suits you best.
Expectations Lead to Failure
This is a good time to mention that the illusion of failure in meditation practice is almost always the result of attachment to expectations or a specific outcome. Meditation is always healing and your mind-body takes exactly what it needs from your practice. The quickest way to frustrate yourself in meditation is to have expectations of a practice that, by its very nature, is meant to embrace uncertainty, unpredictability, and the unknown.
As long as you hold on to a particular idea of what’s “supposed” to happen during meditation, you’ll constantly think of yourself as failing whenever your experiences don’t match your expectations. Set yourself free from the burden of evaluation and self-judgment and you’ll recognize that every meditation is unique and just the way it’s meant to be.
Meditation Adapts to You
When I learned meditation from Chopra Global’s chief meditation officer Roger Gabriel, he mentioned that in the beginning, practicing meditation was like breaking in a pair of slippers—they initially feel somewhat stiff and tight, but after a little time, they become comfortable and fit your feet perfectly. In this way, meditation adapts to you—to your lifestyle, needs, karma, and dharma. Ultimately, your meditation practice should be as unique as your fingerprint. Yes, there are guidelines you can follow for when, where, how long to meditate, how to sit, how to breathe, and supplementary practices, but in the end, no one knows your life and routine better than you.
Don’t try to force yourself into a meditation mold that doesn’t fit your life. Doing so will only make you uncomfortable and you’ll end up quitting. Like asana practice in yoga, don’t force yourself into the pose; modify it to fit your body and the pose will support your health and well-being for years to come.
Still unconvinced that you can meditate? Let’s see just how simple it can be. Take a moment to read through these steps and then commit to giving meditation a five-minute test drive.
- Find a place where you won’t be disturbed for the next five to seven minutes. Silence your phone, close the door, and dim the lights if you like.
- Sit comfortably in whatever position allows your neck and back to remain relatively upright. Try to have both feet resting flat on the floor with your legs uncrossed. Close your eyes softly. Relax your body into the chair.
- Take three full, slow, deep breaths.
- On your next inhalation, silently repeat to yourself the word, I.
- As you exhale, silently repeat the word am.
- Inhale: I; exhale: am.
- Continue this process for the next several minutes or as long as comfortable. When thoughts in your mind, sensations in your body, or sounds in the environment occur, effortlessly bring your awareness back to I am. Just repeat the words gently without force, effort, or struggle to concentrate.
- When you choose to end the practice, stop repeating I am, and sit comfortably with your eyes closed for a few more moments.
- When you’re ready, softly open your eyes.
Congratulations! You just meditated. While this first experience may have felt slightly strange, know that with practice it will become increasingly normal. Thoughts, sounds in the environment, and bodily sensations are all part of the practice. In the end, all you need to do is innocently notice when your attention drifts away from I am, and then gently bring it back. Simple, comfortable, effortless. This is meditation.
See? You can do this.
Next Steps
An ideal way to take the next step in your meditation journey is Chopra Global’s 21 Day Meditation Experience with Deepak Chopra and international music icon J Balvin. In just 21 days you’ll learn to focus your mind and develop habits that put you in control of your own health and well-being.
Additionally, if you’d like to explore the theory and practice of meditation in greater detail, perhaps you’d enjoy The Path To Stillness, A Meditator's Guide. This book was written as a manual for both the new and experienced meditator alike, a tool to lead you through the ins and outs of becoming a lifelong meditator and reaping all the rewards the practice has to offer.
