Journey of Right View: Inseparable and Indistinguishable

Inseparable and Indistinguishable

India is a land of impermanence,  
where I have met many teachers  
as if collecting treasures.

When you truly observe,  
you will inevitably discover  
that genuine mentors  
are, at their core,  
inseparable and indistinguishable.

Like ignited butter lamps,  
they illuminate all beings  
with the light of wisdom.

Bodhicitta

Our daily life
is filled with unexpected turns amidst routine,
and whether good or bad,
they all must be experienced and faced.

By an unexpected turn of fate,  
I arrived at the place where Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment,  
to transcend the world beyond my own understanding  
and explore the "world and life as perceived by those  
who pursue wisdom more than common sense,"  
as described by Dzongsar Rinpoche.

This human realm is a theater filled with
greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, and illusions...
In a prayer activity, Dzongsar Rinpoche said:
"Make the wish you believe is impossible—
then, all other wishes
will also be fulfilled one by one."

After the teaching, I asked my friend Gongbu:  
"What does 'Jangchub Sempa' mean, as mentioned by Rinpoche?"  
Gongbu thought for a moment and said:  
"Jangchub Sempa  
is the heart of compassion (Bodhicitta)."

If you can share the Right View you have felt,  
even if just a little,  
perhaps that too is compassion.

Meeting in Samsara

To this day, I still cannot forget  
that night when mosquitoes swarmed,  
and the 25-year-old Dharma Prince, beneath the Bodhi Tree,  
shared with us the story of him and his grandfather, Dagchen Rinpoche.  
Surrounded by lamplight and candle flames,  
his voice tender, powerful, and choked with emotion,  
illuminated the path around the stupa.

Countless times,
we have rushed from the cycle of rebirth
to meet here.
May these simple karmic threads
be shared with you,
wherever you are in this world.
