The Native American Taoist: Segyal Rinpoche

ABOUT THUNDERHANDS

About Me: "Wakiya" (Thunder)
I am a Tribal, Musician, Writer, Artist. I try to walk the path and have studied the tradition of the "Wisdom keepers" like Lame Deer, Fools Crow, Black Elk, and Rolling Thunder from the tribes of this region, and Lao Tzu, Buddha, Bodhidharma, Yeshua, and other enlightened ones from the many various tribes of the earth. I understand the worlds religions and belief systems, and realize the division this can cause by the lack of understanding the "real message" from the Masters. My intention, and life's prayer is to try to live in harmony with Grandmother Earth, Grandfather sky, (Nature) and "the spirit that moves in all things," and help in any way I can to build a bridge between all men and tribes so they can walk their path in a manner that will benefit themselves, the Earth and others. I open up, and ask Great Spirit, The creator, The Tao, The Universe, to work and direct healing and positive energy through me by different means, like the Flute, drums, Words, Prayer, and Touch. I try to be loving and accept others from the heart, and practice forgiveness. I honor all people, the winged one's, and four legged ones considering us all equal, not one being above another. I honor the bountiful Harvest from Mother earth in the form of plant life, water, air and herbs which sustain our oneness with her. I pray all tribes should re-unite as one, so we may protect the planet and live in harmony. Within you, without you.

Segyal Rinpoche

"Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego,
garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the
hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only
rarely heard or attended to. As you listen more and more to the
teachings, contemplate them, and integrate them into your life, your
inner voice, your innate wisdom of discernment, what we call in
Buddhism "discriminating awareness," is awakened and strengthened and
you start to begin to distinguish between its guidance and the
various clamorous and enthralling voices of ego. The memory of your
real nature, with all its splendor and confidence, begins to return to
you."

-Segyal Rinpoche

Phoenix Rising said...: ThunderHands...It is so true to walk the path of the Souls Voice and not the Minds Voice..can at times be a challenging one. But once you recognize that you have been in battle with the two you can then decide, determine which one you shall listen to..up until that time.. the conflict, the wondering what that inner pull has been all along has been so hard..the awakening has been a most beautiful thing for sure.. Namaste to your dear sir _()_ Phoenix Rising; April 19, 2009 at 10:19 AM
