Tibet and China, Bodhisattva, Love and Compassion

The neighbour's Siberian husky having a primal Tibetan bodhisattva moment

While Tibet wars on with China about its freedom, why shouldn't Tibet just take a leaf out of its own wisdom book and learn to let go and see where China takes itself with Tibet. Most of the damage is already done, murdered monks and nuns, destroyed monasteries so let China have it if it wants it that bad. Trust in higher powers. The Dalai lama has long fled his country to seek asylum in India anyway and is safe which is the paramount concern of the Tibetan monasteric society.

So the Chinese people are generally selfish, greed, rude and are capable of extreme cruelty even to their own kids. Why they are like that probably goes centuries back to their even more cruel emperors and kings who never hesitated to torture their people for self gratifications. Hence the Chinese people are self preserving first, humane second.

Probably that is why they canNOT stand Tibetans who are all over love, peace and compassion. It is the very threat to their cruel and mean essence. They are afraid to lose their BAD and everything they had learnt for centuries end in surviving because GOOD was not good enough for their survival.

 Can one imagine what would happen to the poverty stricken side of China if they turned all Tibetan and lovey? They will just DIE.

But then they dont have a good enough reason to remain as they are because it is like a poison that seeps into the veins of humanity, to be that selfish, greedy and uncaring which will only result in root rotting and the slow and ultimate death of what is naturally imbibed in every human soul.

And every child born is born humane and stays that way, at least for the first few years anyway before external influences and other genetic tendencies kickstarts.

Bodhisattvas are what the TIbetans say enlightened souls in human form dedicated to inspiring and practicing love and compassion to guide base humans to stop torturing themselves and also torturing others over unnecessary stuff.

It is a tall order, extremely challenging task to turn around many idiots and ignoramuses out there bent on killing themselves and other people around over petty little issues. It is thoroughly admirable mission and i do pray their mission of peace succeeds in this lifetime.

I on the other, a mere mortal at that, am fighting a war of lesser kind but not necessarily insignificant inside my head. Each day i let out many questions into the universe why certain things are the way they are. Why doesn't external things change even when things change within ? What is the point of all this complexities? I want my dogs' simple lives. I dont want to think, I dont want to fight, I dont want to justify. I just want to be happy and at peace. I want everything gentle and inspiring. Bad thoughts, bad actions and bad words vexate me

And then there are those wise quotes and sayings that seems to make so much sense on day and sounds corny the next day.They say what you resist persist, what lessons you haven't learnt keeps coming to you again and again till you have. So what lessons have i NOT learnt? Is there even a lesson to be learnt or is the universe is just some pre determined form of random things that finds its own place whether or not you do anything. Burns my noodles.

I want my dogs life.
I love how my dogs spend their day. Sleeping peacefully and occasionally chasing birds and the postman as a daily duty. Apart from the occasional dead rat i find on the doorstep certain mornings and announcing strangers at the gate, my two dogs have a pretty enlightened life, i would even call them my bodhisattvas for evoking feelings of love and compassion in me. They are such cool creatures, coming rain or shine, they are just accepting of every living conditions, whether i feed them on time or a few hours late, they are not complaining or harping about their deprived lives. It is all easy go, whatever, be cool, with them.

My 3 year had a real conversation with a 10 year old kid next door. Standing on his bed, he opened up the glass shutters facing the neighbour house and spots the older child.

3 : Hi, what are you doing?

10: Im going for tuition

3 : Tuuuiii syen?

10 : Yes , tuition.

3 year old observes 10 year old struggling with his bag

3 : Whats wrong with bag?

10 : ( still catching up english) In tamil, (its all broken)

3 : (still catching up tamil,) In english (what is that tamil thing you said)

10 : My bag is broken

3 : Your bag is broKET? (incredulous)

10 : Yes, broKET, (he laughs)

3:  Take to Handy Manny

10: Handy Manny? Hahaha!

3 year old shuts the window.

10 : Bye (name in gentle voice)

3 year old opens the window again : Bye bye and shuts window again.

I found my love, compassion and peace being a witness to such a gentle and caring conversation than anything else for days.
