Why Visakha Bucha is the most important day in Middle Path?

Because of Love

Visakha Bucha Day was originated from the power of true love – the love with no desire. It’s the love of Buddha for his father, his wife, his people and all beings.

From the day he realized that everyone would eventually die and throughout their lives, they have to face suffering, despair, lament, loss and separation, with the power of his love, he tried to find the way to escape from this cycle of suffering that seemed to be unavoidable.

The love that is filled with good wishes is also called “compassion”.

However, the word “love” sounds deeper than compassion because compassion tends to be more religious. When we say the words “the great benevolence”, we feel grateful for the lov...

You may have up to three kinds of consciousness inside your body.

The first is your own consciousness, which entered your mother’s womb at the time of your conception, without any other consciousnesses mixing in with it. There were lots of other consciousnesses around it at the time, but they all died out before they could take birth. You can’t count how many there are at a time like that, but in the fight to take birth, only one of them has the merit to make it, and the rest all fall away in huge numbers by the wayside. So when we make it into a human womb at the time of conception, we can chalk it up to our merit that we’ve been able to establish a foothold for ourselves in the human world.

Once our consciousness gets established like this, it begins to develop. The body develops. As it develops, other consciousnesses start infiltrating without our realizing it. If you want to see a really clear ex...

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin’s Regular Press Conference on April 26, 2024 (Photo/Chinadaily))

By Tsering Dhundup

Wang Wenbin foreign ministry spokesperson  said it would talk only with the representatives of the Dalai Lama and not the officials of the Tibetan government-in-exile, also ruling out dialogue on the long-pending demand for autonomy for Tibetan people.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin refuted reports of back-channel discussions between the Tibetan government-in-exile and the Chinese government by categorizing the Tibetan government-in-exile, headquartered in Dharamshala, as a “separatist” entity, during a press briefing in Beijing.

Wang stated that “The so-called ‘Tibetan government-in-exile’ is an entirely organised separatist political group with a political plat...
