Source text - English Could you please explain the meaning of equanimity?
Answer of Lama Ole Nydahl:
Equanimity means being constantly aware that we are all already buddhas, whether we know it or not. It means having no attachment and aversion, not dividing anything into categories like “good” or “bad,” and always wishing everybody all the best. Of course one still has to act and know what is right or wrong for oneself, but all this should happen without anger or bad feelings towards others.
The best antidote to jealousy and all kinds of expectations is very simple: you make yourself infinitely rich in your mind, and that way you can give others all the happiness in the world. Every time you think of someone you want something from—for example, you want him to love you—think, “May he have all the happiness imaginable.” Because if you feel rich yourself and are in the position to give and to wish the other something good, then you will never go wrong.
A situation gets difficult if it feels small and narrow. If, for example, your former partner is now with someone else and you think, “Oh, right now he is with her doing this or that thing which is so wonderful and special and which we always did together…”—this is a thought that catches you, that you won’t get rid of. This is a narrow situation. But if you wish him fifty dancing girls or—for the ladies—as many mustachioed officers on horseback as she wants, if you wish everything in abundance for the other, then it is not personal anymore but rather like watching a Disney movie. And suddenly the problem dissolves. With this approach, a small, personal thing turns into something profound, and you can grow very quickly by using this way of thinking as a turbocharger.
All at once, you get out of the darkness and really start to shine. You can crack jokes about things that were very touchy to you before, and work with the situation without limitations. This gives a lot of strength and has an exceedingly liberating effect. Then, in addition, you might be lucky enough to get an extra bit of good energy from the teacher, who pushes you in the right direction to quickly discover your own power. Wishing everyone all the best is really very good.
Translation - Spanish ¿Podrías por favor explicar el significado de ecuanimidad?
Respuesta de Lama Ole Nydahl:
Ecuanimidad significa estar constantemente conscientes de que todos ya somos budas, lo sepamos o no. Significa no tener apego ni aversión, no dividir nada en categorías como “bueno” o “malo” y siempre desear lo mejor para todos. Por supuesto, uno todavía tiene que actuar y saber lo que es correcto o incorrecto para uno mismo, pero todo esto debe suceder sin enojo ni malos sentimientos hacia los demás.
El mejor antídoto para los celos y todo tipo de expectativas es muy simple: te haces infinitamente rico en tu mente, y de esa manera puedes dar a los demás toda la felicidad del mundo. Cada vez que piensas en alguien de quien quieres algo, por ejemplo, quieres que te ame, piensa: "Que él tenga toda la felicidad imaginable". Porque si te sientes rico y estás en la posición de darle y desearle algo bueno, entonces nunca te equivocarás.
Una situación se vuelve difícil si se siente pequeña y estrecha. Si, por ejemplo, tu ex pareja está ahora con alguien más y tú piensas: "Oh, ahora mismo está con ella haciendo esto o aquello que es algo tan maravilloso y especial y que siempre hicimos juntos ..." — este es un pensamiento que te atrapa, del cual no te desharás. Esta es una situación estrecha. Pero si tú le deseas cincuenta bailarinas o — para las damas — tantos oficiales bigotudos montando a caballo como ella quiera, si deseas todo en abundancia para el otro, entonces ya nada es personal, será como ver una película de Disney. Y de repente el problema se disuelve. Con este enfoque, una cosa pequeña y personal se convierte en algo profundo y tú puedes crecer muy rápidamente al utilizar esta forma de pensar como turbocompresor.
De repente, sales de la oscuridad y empiezas a brillar realmente . Puedes hacer chistes sobre cosas que fueron muy delicadas para ti antes y trabajar con la situación sin limitaciones. Esto da mucha fuerza y tiene un efecto extremadamente liberador. Luego, además, puede que tengas la suerte de obtener un poco más de buena energía del maestro, quien te empuja en la dirección correcta para que descubras rápidamente tu propio poder. Desear lo mejor a todos es realmente muy bueno.
English to Spanish: What is the meaning of dreams in Buddhism? General field: Other Detailed field: Religion
Source text - English First of all, ordinary life is more important than dreams, because this normal waking state that we experience now is a collective dream. In contrast, whatever happens during the night is just individual dreams. We also wake up every morning within more or less the same dream, while at night the dreams change constantly. Our dreams at night are mostly related only to the mind, while the dream we are experiencing right now includes our body and speech.
On the other hand, we have special kinds of wisdom in dreams that we don’t have here, because we are more tied to experience and have more attachment during the waking state. One can also definitely deduce things from dreams.
To do this, we can divide the night into three phases. During the first third, the impressions of the day get put into different drawers in the store consciousness. In the second third, some people have nightmares; they feel pressure and difficulties in the middle of the night. I myself don’t know about this, but if it happens it can have two causes: disturbing energies from the outside or too-slow breathing that causes the body to develop fear of dying. The body then discharges a lot of adrenaline, and when our consciousness perceives this it reacts—“Hey, danger! Enemies!” But in fact it is only the body reanimating itself.
And then the third part of the night is useful. Shortly before waking up, one can dream of the immediate future. And right in the moment of waking, one can dream of the somewhat more distant future. This way, our store consciousness tries to bring a message through the clouds of ignorance and veils into the moment of awareness. This happens in dreams; the mind tries to show itself something. But it has big hindrances caused by expectations, fears, veils, tomorrow and yesterday, etc., which make what is displayed inaccurate.
But in general, you can say that dreams in color are more important than those without color. Dreams with upward movement are a good sign and those with descending movement are not so good, except when one decides out of great compassion to go down consciously and help the beings there. Mind is the boss; it can transform this.
For Buddhists the best dream, of course, is to see one’s lama or buddhas, to receive blessings, or to hear mantras. That’s absolutely great! It means that during the process of dying, the good impressions are so strong and deep that they will come up from the store consciousness and help us into a good rebirth.
In general, also for non-Buddhists or those who don’t work with their minds, the feeling one has while waking up is crucial. If, for example, you have killed people during the night and you wake up feeling wonderful, then this doesn’t mean that you have found your true sadistic nature, but rather that you have removed disturbances. And if you were helping elderly women cross the street all night but you wake up with mixed or bad feelings, then you surely had subconscious thoughts of being mentioned in their wills later.
In any case, the most important thing about dreams is to experience that which is dreaming, the dreamer itself. Try to know who is dreaming and what is being dreamt. And during the day, try to bring the feeling of dreaming into life. Then you are coated with Teflon—you are protected. You won’t get caught by disturbing emotions as much as usual.
Translation - Spanish En primer lugar, la vida cotidiana es más importante que los sueños, porque este estado normal de vigilia que experimentamos ahora es un sueño colectivo. En contraste, lo que ocurra durante la noche solo son sueños individuales. Igualmente, cada mañana nos despertamos más o menos en el mismo sueño, mientras que en la noche los sueños cambian constantemente. Nuestros sueños en la noche están relacionados principalmente con la mente, mientras que el sueño que estamos experimentando en este momento incluye nuestro cuerpo y habla.
Por otro lado, en los sueños tenemos tipos especiales de sabiduría que no tenemos aquí, porque estamos más ligados a la experiencia y tenemos más apego durante el estado de vigilia. Uno definitivamente también puede deducir cosas de los sueños.
Para esto, podemos dividir la noche en tres fases. Durante el primer tercio, las impresiones del día son colocadas en diferentes cajones en la conciencia almacén En el segundo tercio, algunas personas tienen pesadillas; sienten presión y dificultades en medio de la noche. Yo personalmente no experimento esto, pero si sucede, puede tener dos causas: energías perturbadoras del exterior o una respiración demasiado lenta que hace que el cuerpo desarrolle temor a morir. El cuerpo entonces descarga mucha adrenalina, y cuando nuestra conciencia lo percibe, reacciona: “¡Oye, peligro! ¡Enemigos!” Pero en realidad es solo el cuerpo que se reanima a sí mismo.
Y luego la tercera parte de la noche es útil. Poco antes de despertar, uno puede soñar con el futuro inmediato. Y justo en el momento de despertar, uno puede soñar con un futuro algo más lejano. De esta manera, nuestra conciencia almacén trata de llevar un mensaje a través de las nubes de la ignorancia y los velos, al momento donde somos conscientes. Esto sucede en los sueños; la mente trata de mostrarse algo a sí misma. Pero tiene grandes obstáculos causados por expectativas, miedos, velos, el mañana y el ayer, etc., que hacen que lo que se muestra sea inexacto.
Pero en general, se puede decir que los sueños a color son más importantes que los que carecen de color. Los sueños con movimientos ascendentes son una buena señal y aquellos con movimientos descendentes no son tan buenos, excepto cuando uno decide, por una gran compasión, bajar conscientemente y ayudar a los seres que están allí. La mente es el jefe; ella puede transformar esto.
Para los budistas, el mejor sueño, por supuesto, es ver a nuestro Lama o a los budas, recibir bendiciones o escuchar mantras ¡Eso es absolutamente genial! Significa que durante el proceso de morir, las buenas impresiones son tan fuertes y profundas que saldrán de la conciencia almacén y nos ayudarán a tener un buen renacimiento.
En general, también para los no budistas o para aquellos que no trabajan con sus mentes, el sentimiento que uno tiene al despertar es crucial. Si, por ejemplo, durante la noche has matado a personas y te despiertas sintiéndote maravillosamente, esto no significa que hayas encontrado tu verdadera naturaleza sádica, sino que has eliminado perturbaciones. Y si toda la noche estuviste ayudando a mujeres ancianas a cruzar la calle, pero te despiertas con emociones encontradas o sintiéndote mal, entonces seguramente tuviste pensamientos subconscientes de ser mencionado más tarde en sus testamentos.
En todo caso, lo más importante acerca de los sueños es experimentar aquello que está soñando, al soñador mismo. Trata de saber quién está soñando y qué está soñando. Y durante el día, trata de sentir que realmente estás soñando. De esta manera estás cubierto con teflón, estás protegido. No quedarás atrapado por las emociones perturbadoras tanto como de costumbre.

I am a publicist and anthropologist who works as a consultant for different
organizations in the field of corporate anthropology. Of course, I am very
interested in languages because this allows me to have a better understanding of
culture and society, which is necessary to create innovative and successful products
and services. I started translating at the request of some clients who realized that
they would benefit from having a professional with specific experience in the
market to conduct desk research and translate important messages addressed to
their different audiences. It really made sense to me, so from that moment, I have
not only been translating, but also writing articles and interpreting for private and
nonprofit organizations. This gives me great satisfaction and makes me feel at
home because I am used to intellectual work and I am very good at writing and
expressing persuasive ideas.
In addition, I have been a university professor for 9 years and I have a Master in
Anthropology, so my clients can be sure that the person they trust their projects is a
professional with very good qualities and experience.
