75 BILLION DEAD

75 BILLION HUMAN BEINGS HAVE LIVED ON EARTH IN RECORDED HISTORY.  WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

However, if you are reincarnated (take up a new body) every 40 years, or so, on the average, how many lifetimes might you have lived on Earth?  According to the Top Secret Military transcripts published in the book ALIEN INTERVIEW, large numbers of Immortal Spiritual Beings (IS-BEs) were delivered to Earth beginning about 12,000 years ago, and continuously since that time.  Assuming that you were one of the original “prisoners” sentenced to live on Earth, may could have already lived as many of 300 lifetimes on Earth!  (more or less, depending on when you arrived, how long each body lived, how frequently you got a new body, etc.).

Halloween (All Halloweds Day) is an observance and celebration of The Spirit of Our Ancestors.  Well, what if WE ARE our ancestors?  According to the principle of Reincarnation we are really honoring ourselves, and all of the other Immortal Spiritual Beings who have inhabited, and continue to inhabit and re-inhabit bodies on Earth.  And, let’s not forget the multitude of Spiritual Beings who inhabit all Life Forms on Earth — whales, porpoises, elephants, wolves and horses, for example.   The Spirits, who manifest themselves as Ghosts, Poltergeists, Demons, Apparitions, Angels, Gods, and Disembodied Souls may very well be our Brothers and Our Sisters.

Honor the dead with the reverence and dignity they deserve.

The Dhammapada (Pāli; Prakrit: धम्मपद Dhamapada; Sanskrit: धर्मपद Dharmapada) is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures.  The original version of the Dhammapada is in the Khuddaka Nikaya, a division of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism.

MILAREPA

MILAREPA

Jetsun Milarepa  (c. 1052 – c. 1135 CE) is generally considered one of Tibet’s most famous yogis and poets.

Milarepa is famous for many of his songs and poems, in which he expresses the profundity of his realization of the dharma. Through the illustration of his own life, Milarepa set for all Buddhists an example of the perfect Bodhisattva, and a model of the incorruptible life of a genuine practitioner of Buddhist Tantrism. His life is an unmistakable testimony to the unity an interdependency of all Buddhist teachings – Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana – for Buddhahood is not attainable if any of the three is lacking. He made it clear to all that poverty is not a kind of deprivation, but rather is a necessary way of emancipating oneself from the tyranny of material possessions; that Tantric practice by no means implies indulgence and laxity, but hard labor, strict discipline, and steadfast perseverance; that without resolute renunciation and uncompromising discipline, as Gautama Buddha Himself stressed, all the sublime ideas and dazzling images depicted in Mahayana and Tantric Buddhism are no better that magnificent illusions.
