During a 2019 pilgrimage to the four holy sites in India, Singha Rinpoche offered a series of spontaneous teachings\u2014rich with humor, clarity, and everyday wisdom. In this talk, he reminds us that spiritual practice isn\u2019t about chasing after form or perfection, but about understanding who we really are, making conscious choices, and seeing through illusion. Shared here are his reflections, just as they were offered\u2014simple, direct, and full of heart.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ac65ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ac65ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Because of our past karma, we can\u2019t choose our parents, we can\u2019t choose when we fall sick, we can\u2019t choose when we die. But today, we chose to come here, we chose to come for pilgrimage. A lot of people want to come, but can\u2019t come, because of many reasons.\u00a0<\/p><p>Then we reflect \u2014 why we are human? Is it only for enjoyment?\u00a0<\/p><p>So we made the decision to come, but then what do we see? So much spiritual materialism. We offer flower, incense, light, many things. Offering is good. But if mind is not controlled, then we are chasing after things again. Chasing after form. Just like we chase after branded clothes to look good. Then how do we know we look good? Only when we look into the mirror.\u00a0<\/p><p>You want to look good, so you rely on the mirror. Then you go and buy this branded thing, that beautiful thing. Then you wear, and you feel like you achieved something. Then you look into the mirror and feel satisfied. But is it real?\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Merit and Mindfulness\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p>We come here, we think we accumulate merit. Yes, because it\u2019s our choice. But greater merit comes when we make Buddha\u2019s teaching part of daily life.\u00a0<\/p><p>Look around \u2014 everyone\u2019s karma is different. Everyone\u2019s life is different. So, we must ask \u2014 what is the meaning of our life? Why are we here together? Because we made that decision. If we want to have a good next life, it starts from today. From today, generate bodhicitta. Practice loving-kindness. Forgive others. Forgive ourselves. This is the real practice.\u00a0<\/p><p>You made the decision to come here. With this same decision, you can make to become a Buddha. Practice no matter what happens. Don\u2019t say, \u201cI don\u2019t like this, so I don\u2019t practice.\u201d That\u2019s like looking in the mirror and not liking what you see.\u00a0 Do you change yourself? Or you change the mirror?\u00a0<\/p><p>You want to look good, you change. Lose weight, gain weight, build muscle \u2014 your choice. Same thing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Are You Your Body?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p>Some of us are standing under the sun \u2014 it\u2019s hot. Some under shade \u2014 it\u2019s cool. But are you your skin? Are you your eyes? Your nose? Your ears?\u00a0<\/p><p>No. Your mind is not your body. Your body is just a tool. A tool to feel, to see, to hear, to think. The human body allows thought \u2014 but it\u2019s not you.\u00a0<\/p><p>So, is what you see in the mirror real? No. Mirror is just a reflection. The body is also an illusion. A tool. Mirror is a tool. Body is also a tool.\u00a0<\/p><p>You\u2019re not your hearing, not your sight, not your mind. You are beyond that. You are awareness.\u00a0<\/p><p>You give your car a name. Give a name, then attachment comes in. First you have a car, then a name, then boom \u2014 samsara. Same thing with our body.\u00a0<\/p><p>Life is like a resort. You enjoy, but you don\u2019t live there. If you try to bring the resort home, you will end up cleaning, organizing, and become exhausted. By the time the house is ready, you are tired. Can\u2019t enjoy the house. Then what? Life passes by.\u00a0<\/p><p>So think \u2014 your chase for name, fame, success. Is it worth it? Unless you can see all this is like a rainbow, an illusion. Then you can enjoy. Rainbow \u2014 you see, it\u2019s beautiful. But can you catch it? Can you bottle it? No. Just enjoy it.\u00a0<\/p><p>But we want to catch the rainbow and bottle it. We think, \u201cOnly this shade of pink I can wear.\u201d This is suffering.\u00a0<\/p><p>Do everything you can to enjoy life, but don\u2019t make it samsara. See a rainbow, enjoy it. Let the flower grow. Let it be.\u00a0<\/p><p>Did Buddha teach us to get a good business to have a good job? Then we think \u2014 maybe it\u2019s all a bit ridiculous. So you made a decision to come for pilgrimage. Now, make the\u00a0 decision to become a Buddha. Not to be perfect, but to start.\u00a0<\/p><p>In samsara, there is no perfect solution. In life, we search for solutions. But no solution. So, cherish people. Cherish each other. Don\u2019t try to fix everything.\u00a0<\/p><p>Who is unhappy? Not the mountain, not the river. It\u2019s the mind. Only mind.\u00a0<\/p><p>Don\u2019t get angry when things don\u2019t go your way. We can\u2019t please everyone. But I tell you one way to please everybody \u2014 empower them. Teach them how to make decisions. Their happiness is their responsibility. Don\u2019t rely on the Guru for everything.\u00a0<\/p><p>Karma is not bad. Karma means Buddha empowers you. You are not under a god. You are free. Karma means your choice matters. You are a free bird. But fly too far, too tired, then you rest. Otherwise you will fall down and get eaten. Still it is your choice.\u00a0<\/p><p>So study Dharma not just to learn big words. Learn how to live. What\u2019s your motivation?\u00a0<\/p><p>The phone has many apps. But if there\u2019s no motivation, apps are useless. So we set a motivation \u2014 from now, I want to become like a Buddha. Don\u2019t know how to pray?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>You can say, \u201cBless me to become like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>Watch the full video by clicking\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?mibextid=wwXIfr&amp;v=414675985895306&amp;rdid=K4gTMBGLgl2P3P2E%20%20\" data-original-title=\"\"><u><b>here<\/b><\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singha Rinpoche\u2019s Dharma Teaching at Mahabodhi Stupa in India.
