Education
We humans are like children, spiritually immature. We are historically very inefficient, ineffective, emotionally unstable, and deluded in both the relative and ultimate levels of living on this planet. We have brought this human race to the point of totally eliminating all life on this planet and in the process of our social engagement created […]
Arrogance
Arrogance, pride, conceit or aggrandizement is the emotion or feeling of being superior to others. This karmic inclination is apparent in the minds of gods and goddesses of the celestial and titan realms. In the human condition, the judgmental mind of certain people think that because of what they believe in, acquire, or do, that […]
Nature
This word spiritually applies to this phenomenal world in its entirety. It applies to the five mother elements that make up one’s body and are everywhere and in everything. These are; earth, water, radiation (fire), air, and space. Because they are timeless, with no beginning or end and the source of all life and good health, we in the […]
Community Service
Spiritually, the community is humankind globally as a family.

They are; a form body, five senses, consciousness, and emotional reaction or involvement with these first three which cause inclination or propensity to action. All of this is the drama of karmic tendencies and the results of this […]
Rapture
Rapture, also called Bliss or Joy is a state of mind already existing universally. We humans experience this in many ways such as sexual orgasm, near-death experiences, the use of psychotropic drugs etc. Most humans don’t value these experiences as insight into their ultimate nature of mind and the nature of the universe itself. They […]
Salvation
This Catholic word means to be saved or granted access to a heavenly realm or to be born again. Spiritually, according to the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, this is not necessary and in some cases, counter-productive or delusional. Our relative mind (or nature) is caught in a loop of emotional involvement with that which we […]
Ocean of Suffering
This word, spiritually, according to the sutras of the Buddha and lineages of teachers, applies to this universe as an ocean of pain and suffering for the infinite numbers of sentient beings who live in it. We all, human, animal, and spirits, have physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pain and suffering. The cause of this […]
