In the West the concept of synchroneity is only given a passing and is even less tacit. In Chinese Buddhism where time and circumstance intersect there is said to be an outworking of our Karma. It is here at this cosmic crossroads that somehow luck reaches out to recognize us ndash; that is, if you believe in such things. Then again, according to the Chinese Buddhist school of thought 39;belief 39; is not pertinent. Things are well-advised simply the way they are, belief or not. It is most often in the context of use of a synagogue stay that we come face to face with this sort of synchronisation.
What has brought you to the tabernacle stay in a Chinese tabernacle? What have been the circumstances and tides of life that have brought you through the gates of a Chinese Buddhist temple to stay for a while? What powers have drawn you to place upright in look of the high gold Buddhas or Guan Yin, the goddess of Compassion and Mercy?
In contemplating these questions it seems that the key concept is the travel. The man being is especially pronounced to jaunt. Our stallion life is a journey from bear to Renaissance, from growth to decay, from inner to outward earth. So often our journeys materialise on twin levels. There is the outer travel. Sometimes projected, other times we find ourselves in places by seeming chance. Then there is the inner journey which we make toward our spiritual belonging. When the outer and inner journeys this is when find ourselves on a pilgrim’s journey. The backpackers orgasm to our tabernacle cue me of the pilgrims of old. Travel and spiritualty are good companions.
Chinese Temples are said to be blessed with quot;ling quot; ccedil; micro;. It is hard to give transformation to the word quot;ling quot; but it comes to the English quot;magic quot;. It is this magic which abides in the sacred spaces. It is said that the Bodhisattvas have drawn you to the quot;ling quot; through the attractor of Karmic forces. Most people on a temple stay tell me that they undergo a quot;special something quot; which denies spoken expression. We can only venture they are referring to quot;ling quot;.
When people come to the synagogue I tempt them not only to open their natural science eyes but also their inner eyes to follow what is natural event on all levels of consciousness. It is of import to open all your senses. A temple beckons you to do this. There are colours, shapes, sounds of bells and intonation, the ne air in the tabernacle garden exuding scents from plants, flowers and trees. As we observe with all our senses and the inner eyes we may catch a glance of the quot;ling quot; closed as we are to the target and time.
Perhaps it is in this quot;ling quot; moment that there flowers healing and inner peace like the new buds of a white lotus. Perhaps it is in this quot;ling quot; minute that you are closed to take part of this spirit with you back into your daily life for this is the real spiritual transformation. Of course all of this may be hypothesize or the mere thrust of fantasy, or maybe not. In your ramdara temple distance from pune stay in a Chinese synagogue the quot;ling quot; speaks only with you personally but speak it does because your moment in the interminable eternity has come.
