Ron Alexander As for"conquering their ego", poor demonized "ego", no part of me is junk. The "ego" is a necessary as long as we have a body. Those masters who have claimed to have lost their egos, require a lot of servants to help take care of their physical needs. Even then, I have been in Ashrams with Masters like that, and they would get angry at their servants.Manage

❤️ here conquering means controlling the disturbing emotions.
An old manager from a Vipassana center, having reached a very high level, passed away. 3 people were needed to replace him in doing the work he did...❤️
🌈 i wish one day you will meet one of those masters, they are very kind, loving and most generous ❤️

Ron Alexander Thanks, so why not write that "controlling the disturbing emotions". And Buddha said it is about controlling our thoughts which creates our emotions.Manage
Thankas Inn Dharamshala Ron Alexander the Buddha also said “understanding and realising interdependent origination is the only way to completely uproot the disturbing emotions”. The Buddha was always teaching according to the understanding and capacity of the people present in that moment, the 3 turnings of the wheel of dharma were needed dor this. During those he gave different teachings for different mind capacities

Ron Alexander Is not "interdependent origination" really simply our thoughts? And is not "ego" the "new thought" satan?Manage
Thankas Inn Dharamshala Ron Alexander thoughts are the result of interdependent origination.
Ego is not all bad. We need a workable ego in order to reach liberation, not a destructive ego.
I.ex. I want to reach liberation for the well being of all sentient beings. In the aspiration stage there is still ego (identification with phenomena) but it is helping is towards liberation.

Ron Alexander Above is what Meher Baba thought, we need an ego until we don't ...however, I have been to his International Center many times, and he is one Master who got crankier the older he got and was supposedly "egoless." I really respect his teachings though, and really get alot out of his Center, as his SPIRIT is still evident, even with his body gone for years.

Thankas Inn Dharamshala Ron Alexander this is why we have to examine a master for years before taking him/her as a teacher.
For us, minds with obscurations, it is very difficult to find out why a master is angry.
A true master sees the obscurations in our minds and teaches us accordingly and will hold nothing back to help us, even if it is manifesting anger. If that is what the students need in that moment then that is what he will manifest
