In this episode, Tenzin will explain briefly what the expression, 'turning of the wheel of Dharma' means, and explain the first teaching Buddha gave after he became enlightened. Buddha gave these teachings at a place in India called, "Deer Park." This teaching at Deer Park introduced the middle way, the four noble truths and the eight-fold noble path. These teachings are called, in Buddhist tradition Tenzin practices, "the first turning of the wheel of Dharma."  Many of the future episodes of the Introduction to Buddhism series will explain these teachings in detail. This episode, therefore, begins to explan the major beliefs and practices of Buddhism that presuppose the basic world view of Buddhism introduced in the first episode of this series. It is therefore, somewhat important to understand the basic worldview of Buddhism in order to better appreciate the meaning of the four noble truths and the eightfold noble path.  The following is a link to a translation of the actual sutta Buddha gave at Deer Park. Its title translates as the "Putting the Wheel of Dhamma In Motion Discourse," where 'Dhamma' is the Pali word that is 'Dharma' in Sanskrit. Both of these words are used in Buddhism to refer to the teachings of the Buddha. Please note this is the best translation I could find online. In this translation, the word 'dukkha' is left untranslated. 'Dukkha' is the Pali word that is usually translated as 'suffering,' and this is the translation Tenzin always uses for 'dukkha.'   http://dharmacenter.net/suttas/dhammacakkappavattana.html  01:01:00The Life of Universal LovingnoFour Noble Truths,Eightfold Noble Path,Love,Buddha,SpiritualityThis is the second episode in the Introduction to Buddhism Series.

Cultivating and expressing the six paramitas in thought and action is the path that leads to Buddhahood, and the main purpose of The Life of Universal Loving radio program is to provide guidance about how to cultivate and practice the six pefections. It is important to know that Bodhisattvas and Buddhas have a sympathetic regard for the beliefs and practices of non-Buddhist religions, because this sympathetic regard is an aspect of the universal love and compassion of a Bodhisattva and a Buddha. To hate or have contempt for the beliefs and practices of others is a failure to love and embrace people as they are. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas skillfully teach the skills that lead to true and lasting happiness, and it is extremely unskillful to hate or contemn others because of their beliefs and practices. It is also extremely unskillful to cause others to feel disrespected because of their beliefs.  One should appreciate this aspect of the attititude of a Bodhisattva at the very beginning of one's practice of the Bodhisattva way of life. In the second half of the show, the singer/songwriter Guru Ganesha Singh will appear as a guest. Guru Ganesha practices the Sikh religion and his music is a beaufiful expression of some of the important practices of Sikhism. There are many important parallels between Buddhism and Sikhism. 02:22:00The Life of Universal LovingnoSikhism,Six Perfections,Love,Music,BuddhismIn this episode, Tenzin Norbu will give an overview of  the six perfections, or "paramitas," that a Bodhisattva practices on the path to Buddhahood.

The current "sequestration" crisis is the latest in this recurring pattern of crises.      Over the last 25 years, the Republican party has been responsible for lowering tax rates to the lowest level in the last 50 years. There have been two main arguments advanced in support of low tax rates. The first argument is that everyone, rich and poor alike, become better off when tax rates are low. It is obvious that this has not turned out to be the case. The second argument is that it is an infringement of liberty and an unfair redistribution of income to tax the wealthy in order to fund government programs intended to better the lives of those who are most economically deprived. This episode discusses the liberty and fairness argument from the Bodhisattva point of view.

Our guest teacher is Sheik Raage Haji Mohamed, a former guest on The Life of Universal Loving. Sheik Raage will draw upon the teachings of Shaikh Abd Al qadir al jilani in presenting this series of teachings. Sheik Ragge said the following as an introduction to this series of teachings: "Shaikh Abd Al qadir al jilani lived almost one thousand years ago, but his words transcend the time and space in which they were recorded so that they span the centuries without difficulty. Revered to this day as the supreme helper (all-gowth al-a'zam), the Shaikh (may Allah be well pleased with him) addresses his audience at a level that bypasses the obstacles of the heart and mind. "The book, Secret of Secrets, is perhaps one of his most important works, expounding different aspects of the spiritual path, both esoteric and exoteric, divided into twenty-four sections. The essential stages and prerequisites for the journey back to Allah are laid out in detail. Any seeker of the spiritual life will experience immense benefits by reading or listening to the wise words of Shaikh Abdulkadir, written so many years ago." In the second half of the program, Tenzin will lead a guided meditation on death and impermance.

The meditation will help you develop the ability to view as a "client" someone you have been viewing as bad and hateful. Bodhisattvas believe that wrong actions are caused by ignorance and lead to suffering. They want to help everyone overcome ignorance and find true and lasting happiness. Just as good psychiatrists view unruly clients as needing their help, we can view those who have harmed us as needing our help. This enables us to respond to non-virtuous behavior with love and compassion rather than anger. By doing this, we are "turning the other cheek" in a way that brings benefit to all. 01:01:00The Life of Universal LovingnoAnger,Patience,Spirituality,Bodhicitta,BuddhismIn this episode, Tenzin will lead a guided meditation that can be used to overcome anger and develop the perfection of patience.

Always a free spirit, Lee was never intimidated by the established authorities in any given field, because his unique gifts of empathic insight and his above average intellectual abilities allowed him to instantly detect many of the shortfalls present in today's modern civilization. Viewing many of the rants and diatribes of the twentieth century artists and philosophers as mere intellectual gibberish containing little real substance, Lee has always sought out true knowledge that cuts directly into the soul and possesses a valid practicality that can be converted into empathy.” All of Lee's wonderful music is available for free download at his website, www.leefitzsimmons.com.

Cultivating and expressing the six paramitas in thought and action is the path that leads to Buddhahood, and the main purpose of The Life of Universal Loving radio program is to provide guidance about how to cultivate and practice the six pefections. It is important to know that Bodhisattvas and Buddhas have a sympathetic regard for the beliefs and practices of non-Buddhist religions, because this sympathetic regard is an aspect of the universal love and compassion of a Bodhisattva and a Buddha. To hate or have contempt for the beliefs and practices of others is a failure to love and embrace people as they are. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas skillfully teach the skills that lead to true and lasting happiness, and it is extremely unskillful to hate or contemn others because of their beliefs and practices. It is also extremely unskillful to cause others to feel disrespected because of their beliefs.  One should appreciate this aspect of the attititude of a Bodhisattva at the very beginning of one's practice of the Bodhisattva way of life.

The other two are Bodhicitta and the perfection of Wisdom. Renunciation is an attitude about the value of worldly things. Christianity teaches a concept similar to renunciation, and it is often expressed by saying that Christians should "be in this world but not of this world." The second half of this episode will showcase the music of the singer/songwriter Duncan Ross, who is a featured artist on the cd, "Dhamma Gita, Music of Young Practitioners Inspired by the Dhamma." 02:03:00The Life of Universal LovingnoBuddhism,Renunciation,Bodhisattva,Spirituality,If this world but not of this worldIn this episode, Tenzin Norbu will explain the Buddhist concept of renunciation.

Perhaps Buddhists can help improve the mystical techniques of these religions. Can the mistrust and conflicts among these three traditions be overcome by helping open-minded individuals in these traditions achieve mystical union with God? Can mystics become leaders in these faiths?      My guest on the second half of the program will be Dr. Mitch Tishler. Mitch is a holistic physician who has developed a program which he calls, "Seeing with Heart." On his website Mitch writes, "As ripples move outward, when dropping a pebble into still water, so do we create ripples when cultivating inner peace ... and these ripples manifest as an expanding wave of world peace."

It has been said that we cannot really understand others until we have "walked a mile in their shoes." The method of exchanging self with others teaches how to stand in the shoes of all others. We can use this method to transform our limited self-cherishing into the vast form of cherishing everyone to the same degree we cherish ourselves. This method of developing love for our neighbors as we love ourselves is a very powerful method for developing Bodhicitta.       In the second half of the show, the singer/songwriter, David Smith will be the guest. David Smith has been writing, recording and performing music and practicing the dharma for 17 years. He’s in the process of becoming a licensed drug and alcohol abuse counselor and mindfulness meditation instructor. He works with youth at an addiction treatment center and is heavily involved with music in Nashville, Tennessee. 02:00:00The Life of Universal LovingnoBodhicitta,Loving our neighbors as ourselves,Buddhism,Meditation,LoveWe can develop Bodhicitta by using a method called "exchanging self with others."

Part 2      In the first half of this show, the host, Tenzin Norbu, will give a general explanation of the two main methods used by Buddhists to cultivate Bodhicitta--the aspiration to become a Buddha for the benefit of all. Someone who has cultivated Bodhicitta is known as a Bodhisattva.  Individuals from a monotheistic tradition, such as Judaism, Christianity or Islam might be more comfortable calling this aspiration Godly Loving, naming the person who has cultivated this aspiration a Godly Lover and describing the goal as to become a Mystical Saint for the benefit of all.  The two methods for cultivating Bodhicitta are known as "exchanging self with others" and "the seven-fold cause and effect method."  Tenzin will give a detailed explanation of how to use the method of exchanging self and others.      In the second half of the show, Tenzin will interview Heather Maloney who is a musical performer and a practicing Buddhist.
