The Emperor is a symbol of authority, and he’d like to change clothes every day; these clothes also symbolize the news in the media. Every day there’s something new, something sensational, and something to catch everyone’s attention.
This is about the scammers. They are symbolized by mass media corporations, and they create TV programs, newspapers, TV commercials, movies, all kinds of entertainment: these are the authorities' clothes. And of course, they have sponsors and advertisers who pay them. And this means that what you see on the media is controlled by those sponsors. So, mass media is their puppet and authority is their dress-up doll.
And about people. This story has a happy ending when a child says, “He’s wearing nothing!” and everyone laughs at the naked emperor and the emperor realizes how he was fooled by the scammers and his servants (ministers and courtiers).
But what if people followed as though they were ministers and courtiers? And no one listened to the child? Isn’t that scary?
At this time, the whole world seems confused. People are not sure what to believe, or some are too sure about their idea and blame the other side. We are separated, one from the other.
In Buddhism, there is ...

"Hold Ego"
"...
In Mahayana Buddhism, especially in the Yogacara (Consciousness Only) school, there is the teaching that we live in the illusion of reactions from the past, which is a survival strategy to serve us and help us to grow. A lot of people think this strategy is their identity, but it is not. This is a strategy to protect yourself while you are growing, but it is not a true self — it is created by your history of relationships and past events, and is just a character role. True self is hidden beneath this.
It’s OK to live with the habit of reacting to the past, if you want to. But if you are looking to free your mind and become your true self, then you must start to realize your reactions and habits, and the tendencies of your actions and thoughts. If those reactions are repetitive, that is Karma. We have a lot of karma (repetition); sometimes we call it our habits or tendencies, and sometimes we call it our identity or character.
But as you can see, those things are not your true self nor your identity. They are Ego and they put a cover over your true self. If you’d like to be engaged in spiritual practice, you have to be aware of the tendencies of your actions, words, and thoughts; it’s from here that practice begins.
What does it mean to “hold” ego? Another way to think of ego is to call it your baby or “mini me.” Baby mini me wants a lot: a lot of attention, has a lot of needs, requires a lot of self-satisfaction, for a short moment, temporary pleasures, just for now, and so on. Like a baby. And to “hold” that baby is to imagine holding it in your arms, like you hold a baby. Be a cradle, gently holding and swaying your ego, calm it down and let it sleep comfortably. Keep your mini me below your chest, not letting it rise above it. And be aware when your ego starts to cry out or express its needs; actually, try to feel or detect the signs before that happens.

Hold Ego Sep 10, 2020 This week I was teaching a class, and it seems like the concept of “Hold Ego” wasn’t clear to the students, so, I’ll just try to clarify it here. “Hold Ego” is the first thing taught to students who came to study and practice at Tao Sangha, and all practice starts f...

Action – Remorse – Gratitude – Praise
In Buddhist Sutras it says that a person has 840 million thoughts a day; maybe some of them are positive thoughts and maybe some of them are negative thoughts. We then speak and make actions from those thoughts.
When a person decides on a happy future and performs some action (or says or imagines it — it’s all the same at the Ki level), in that moment, the person needs to be careful about the effects of their action. How that action affects the field in front of them, the field they are in. If that action makes people around them relaxed, motivated, energized, or even feel lighter or brighter, then that action is surely creating a happy future. But it doesn’t always happen that way; sometimes an action makes someone feel anger, fear, or sadness, or makes them feel tense, insecure, or uncomfortable; in that case, the field of Ki has been lowered and this will have the effect of making the future darker, even if that wasn’t the intention.
So, if we want to have a happy future, we have to be responsible for our actions, and how our actions affect the field in front of us.
