The New Man for The New Decade: Zorba The Buddha

Zorba The Greek is the iconic role played by the famous Hollywood actor the late Anthony Quinn. In his most memorable role, Quinn played a middle-aged rough guide who celebrates life in film during the Sixties – ‘Zorba The Greek’ – that won three Oscars. Based on the novel of the same name by Nikos Kazantzakis, the main character, Zorba eats, drinks, sings, dances; he lives, loves and laughs passionately, totally. Enjoying all his senses, he relishes every moment of his life that is just a game for him.

In Gautama the Buddha, the world knows an Indian prince who abandons his luxurious life – his palaces, his pleasures, his princess and even his infant son – to search his true self in the forest. He starves himself, denies himself until he becomes quiet, calm, still, peaceful, silent, and serene. Finally, he becomes enlightened.

Can Zorba be combined with Buddha?

Naah! One cannot imagine a Buddha who celebrates life, who dances and sings and laughs or a Zorba who sits still, seriously, silently, unsmilingly – and yet this is the combination of two polar opposites Osho presents us as the only alternative to our current madness of the marketplace. The two opposites can never meet until Osho declared that not only they should but they must, if the modern man is to survive.

Says Osho, “Zorba is the roots in the earth, and the Buddha is a longing to fly into ultimate freedom, to reach to the space, which is unbounded. I would like you to be Zorba the Greek and Gautama the Buddha together, simultaneously. Less than that won’t do. Zorba represents the earth with all its flowers and greenery and mountains and rivers and oceans. Buddha represents the sky with all its stars and clouds, and the rainbows. The sky without the earth will be empty. The sky cannot laugh without the earth. The earth without the sky will be dead. Both together – and a dance comes into existence. The earth and the sky dancing together – and there is laughter, there is joy, there is celebration. You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in science; rich in meditation, rich in consciousness. Only a whole person is a holy person, according to me.”

After what we have suffered in the last decade, for the new decade, a new man is needed – Zorba and Buddha . Zorba alone is hollow. His dance has not an eternal significance, it is momentary pleasure. Soon he will be tired of it. Unless you have inexhaustible sources, available to you from the cosmos itself… unless you become existential, you cannot become whole. The whole person can achieve goals, targets, results, deadlines and all it entails and yet live, love and laugh.

If we want a whole man — and a whole man is the only holy man — then Zorba has to be absorbed into Buddha. They have to be accepted totally as one. Buddha cannot laugh, cannot dance, cannot sing, cannot love. Now what kind of life will it be? Hollow! Zorba can sing, dance, enjoy food, drink, love. He will have a life, but he will not know who he is. He will not know the meaning of existence.

Zorba the Buddha will create a unity in you; your body and soul will have a unity. You will not have to fight against your nature, you can use it as a stepping stone. There is no need to fight, there is no need to repress. If you are one, you would like to dance in the open air under the sun. That will be your real prayer. Nothing is said, nothing is asked, but you are showing your gratitude to existence. Zorba the Buddha will not only destroy the split in man, it will destroy the split in society. He meditates in the marketplace.

Spiritual Practice As A Reflection Towards Attitude In Life

Title: Spiritual practice as a reflection towards attitude in life

If our attitude toward everything in life is flippant and easy, then it will definitely be the same in our spiritual practice. We should not do that with our spiritual practice because that is the most important practice that we can do for ourselves.

 If our Guru gives us something that is not complicated or difficult and we still cannot do it, we still find it difficult, we still find so many reasons not to do it, that itself is an obstacle arising. If we cannot even recite a few words, then we should not even think about meditation, contemplation or higher practices that bring bigger results.

 A person who acknowledges a practice from a Guru, says “yes” and does not do it, definitely cannot advance spiritually; he will also not be able to advance in material, worldly, normal daily situations. It is like not caring about losing $100 – if you just stuff the pile of money in your pocket and it falls out while you run around, then why would you worry about losing one or two dollars?

 In the same way, we have our Guru and spiritual commitment. However, when our Guru gives us something and we do not care, or it is according to our mood or how we feel; it is according to our lack of priorities and we throw those practices aside; we promise, we do, we do not do, then everything else in our life will be exactly the same and our projects or endeavours will not reach fruition and completion. If we promise our Guru something and we do not do it, that will also be how we treat everything in life. We can check someone’s conviction in his life, in himself and in other things by his spiritual practice. When you give someone a practice, you can see their personality very clearly.

 If we are like this and we look carefully at what we are focused on in our lives, we will see that our minds are not on big, important things. Instead, we spend a lot of time explaining ourselves and focusing on very small things. We cannot do bigger things because we do not focus and we do not push ourselves.

Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

About the Author

Fulfilling his previous lives’ prayers. His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche chose to take rebirth amongst difficult circumstances to be close to those who would need him most.

Recognised by H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the 72nd Abbot of Gaden Shartse, Gedun Nyedrak, His Eminence’s spiritual lineage actually begins as one of the eight main disciples of Je Tsongkhapa, the founding saint of the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism.

Why is it that only intelligent, educated and humane people agree with what Buddha had to say about life?

He understood the suffering and death every living being has to go through and used extreme words of compassion to make his point in this manner,

Loaded question.

I agree with Rod Phallus.

From Buddha to Christ – Peter Donnelly’s Story

Christmas – The Birth of the Christ Consciousness Within

The Christ is not just one person. The Christ is an “office” or “position” we ALL attain to. The word Christ means, “the anointed one.” Jesus came to show us the way to be a vessel for the Love of God to manifest.

When the Christ Spirit entered Jesus he had perfected His soul in many lifetimes to be a worthy temple for Love incarnate. Edgar Cayce said that Jesus was Adam. In the “fall” was the promise of full redemption.

The Christ Consciousness is part of the Trinity, known by different names in many religions. The Father is the Will and Power of God, the Son or Daughter, the Christ, is the Love of God, and Holy Spirit Mother is the Thought, Wisdom, Understanding, Truth, Faith and Wisdom of God Goddess.

Where did the concept of the Christ come to mean just one person? Was it a matter of control?

The Christ of our time was Jesus. In every age the Christ Spirit enters an advanced soul to bring higher learning to the people of that time. Moses, Abraham, Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed, have all come to teach their people a more advanced connection to the Great Spirit. There is always a great teacher who comes to show us the way and the great possibilities of us as Human/Divine beings.

The biggest secret is that God is within each one of us, and also in every atom of space and in every form we see.

This Christmas, let us pray to truly forgive anyone who we may be angry with, including forgiving self. Let the power of Love heal all wounds.

Enjoy Christmas and observe the 12 Holy Days December 26-January 6, as a dedication to the 12 months ahead. Let this devotion bring you ever closer to the possibility of the Christ of Love being born within.

Let this sacred season bring us joy, peace and healing of all conditions. Let the Christ Consciousness of Love be born within each one of us so that we may usher in the 1,000 years of peace!

what is liviing buddha living christ about?

i read the book Living Buddha Living Christ by thich nhat hanh and i am kidda lost who has read it? can u tell me something that u got from it?

Dang! I read that book so long ago. In fact my daughter was a new born when I read it and now she’s 11.

If my memory serves me correctly it was basically just a comparison of Jesus and the Buddha. I also recall someone telling me that had read the book and recommended that I do the same, that they author was trying to basically state that Jesus and the Buddha were the same person and that the only difference is because of translation.

Hope this helped.

What are the social and religious factors that led people to become followers of the Buddha in his life time?

Hinduism at that time had turned into a vast edifice of meaningless dogma controlled by unscrupulous priests and temples- that is why initially Buddhism was so appealing, but as Hinduism changed through time it overtook Buddhism as the main belief system in the sub continent.

Chinese New Year Lunar New Year Calendar and Chinese Horoscopes

Chinese New Year is the most reputed festival of the Chinese traditions and is a time of devouring with the family and friends, celebration, fireworks, and gift-giving. It is a fifteen days holiday, starting on the first day of a new moon. It consists of a time of revelry, starting on New Year’s Day, celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, the day of second new moon after the day on which the winter solstice happens, unless there is an intercalary eleventh of twelfth month in the introduction to the chinese new year, in such case the new year falls on the day of the third new moon after the solstice and the new year ending with the full moon on the day of the Lantern festival. The Chinese New Year is an absorbing and colorful holiday and as such is a super beginning into a study of China and Chinese traditions.The spring festival, generally known as Chinese New Year in the western countries, is the most important traditional celebration and a public holiday in China.

The Chinese New Year 2011 starts in February 3 and it is the year of rabbit. The festival goes down on the first day of the first lunar month and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the fifteenth day. The chinese new year 2011 is an yearly official public holiday for many countries, as well as Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Indonesia. The spring festival 2011 is among the greatest public holidays in China, one of the golden weeks. The motive for beginning the Chinese New Year at that time is that it is the time after the plunge harvest. In another words, the suitable time to be satisfied with rest and relaxation and celebrations is between the end of one year’s hustle and the beginning of the next year’s work hard.The chinese new year calendar is a combination of equally solar and lunar phases and it is a century’s old tradition to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the various countries of all over the world from China to North America. The Chinese lunar calendar gives name each of the twelve years after an animal.

The myth has it that the lord Buddha convened all the animals to come to him before he leaved from earth. Only twelve came to proposition him farewell and as a reward he named year after every one in order they arrived. The Chinese civilization believe that animal ruling the year in which a person is born has profound influence on personality, saying as This is the animal that hides in your heart.A time of gratefulness and family togetherness, chinese new year’s eve is spent by offering farewell to the old year and thanking one’s ancestors and the gods for their blessing and protection. Children who have gone their hometowns return on this day to share Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner with their families and for folks incapable to make the journey, a table setting is placed to represent their presence in spirit if not in body.

Guard Your Words

• AAMIR KHAN –”Making films is not purely a business; it is an art form. It is unwise to follow Lakshmi in this business:that’sthe starting point. If you follow Saraswati, then Lakshmi will follow but if you follow Lakshmi, bothwillleave.”
• ADI GRANTH –”Our body in Kali Yuga is a field of action; As a man sows, so is his reward. Nothing by empty talk is determined: Anyone swallowing poison must die. Brother! Behold the Creator’s justice. As are a man’s actions, so is his recompense.”
• AKHENATON –”True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance… Be capable of change in that which is right and men will rely on you. Establish in yourself principles of action and see that you ever act according to them. First know that your principles are just and then act.”
• ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN –”Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity Those who clearly recognise the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.”

• ASTAVAKRA GITA –”The man who is pure of heart is bound to fulfil himself in whatever way he is taught. A worldly man seeks all his life, but is still bewildered. Detached from the senses; you are free. Attached, you are bound. When this is understood, you may live as you please.”
• ATHARVA VEDA –”Peace be to earth and to airy spaces!/ Peace be to heaven, peace to the waters,/ Peace to the plants and peace to the trees!/ May all the gods grant me peace!/By this invocation of peace may peace be diffused!…/ Sothatpeace may prevail, happiness prevail!/ May everything for us be peaceful!”

• BHAGAVAD GITA –”It is true that the mind is restless and difficult to control. But it can be overcome, Arjuna, through regular practice and detachment. Those who lack self-control will find it difficult to progress in meditation; but those who are self-controlled, striving earnestly through the right means, will attain the goal.”
• BHAGAVAD GITA –”One who has control over the mind is tranquil in heat and cold, in pleasure and pain, in honour and dishonour; and is ever steadfast with the Supreme Self.”

Whatever deeds they do good or evil – of such they will be the heirs.

Osiris: Child of dust, it is because the Word is in thee. That in thee which hears, sees, and acts is the Word itself, the sacred fire, the creative utterance. Hermes: I see the seven regions which comprise the visible and invisible world… Still, how does mankind journey through all these worlds?”

• VIRGIL –”The greatest wealth is health.”
• WAYNE DYER –”The mind is like a white cloth. Dip it in red dye, it turns red; dip it in green, it turns green. Put it out in the sun for long, it loses its colour. The mind truly is the Self itself, with no colour. Swami Chidananda What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.”

• WTHSTON CHURCHILL –”Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.”

• YEVGENY YEUTUSHENKO –”Justice is like a train that is nearly always late.”
• YOGANANDA PARAMAHANSA –”Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them… Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness.”
• ZEN BUDDHISM –”The person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labour and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are always doing both.”
