From Lama Ole September 15. Great and noble friends, conscious seekers of ultimate meaning, welcome to what is a noble battle against the only enemy we really have: our ego! Why do we like or dislike certain things? Actually, who is the opponent that tries to block us from beyond-personal actions, which keep us from troubles, unhealthy thoughts, words and actions? Why have the great teachers of our lineage, beginning with our historical Buddha, always told us to destroy and ...work against this ego in any possible way? Because they like us and wish people to have the chance to fight this battle in their own lives but the effect is much greater if we work with both others and ourselves. Therefore, ego is actually our mixed feelings and stiff ideas exemplified by beings around us and going against it is the only trustworthy way to liberation and enlightenment, which brings lasting benefit. This is why we invite you to understand this timeless and all-pervading fact and to employ our many tools for the benefit of all. We would really like to see you be aware of and fighting against this unhealthy tendency, and obtaining the state where it becomes natural to remove all negativities from your lives and exchange them with all positive habits and actions. This will totally bless your lives and all those who have the good karma to meet and listen to you. The first steps on this way are always difficult because the ego has the illusion of being something real and existent, while it’s actually only a bundle of harmful and unpleasant habits, absorbed since beginningless time. It comes from the ignorant tendency of identifying with our bodies, feelings, and disturbing experiences like pride, and it manifests as everything else which is unhealthy in our lives. Any kind of pride always create jealousy and thus carries on the pain. So for this reason, please, when this ego illusion becomes noticed and shows its ugly face, let this ignorant aspect of ego chew on its non-reality and thus avoid us falling into that trap again and again. Yours from Amden, Lama Ole. PS: Whenever you feel ego manifesting, automatically start your mantras and paint a moustache on its many and ugly faces.
