EL SENDERO DEL DHARMA
Por: Gongpa

Flores para los vivos
En el susurro de la impermanencia, a
menudo olvidamos que el momento más sagrado es el que estamos respirando justo
ahora. Existe una melancolía peculiar en los cementerios: están llenos de
elogios apasionados, promesas de amor eterno y confesiones que llegan demasiado
tarde. Como practicante del camino Budhista, veo este fenómeno no solo como una
tragedia social, sino como un profundo malentendido de la presencia.
Flowers for the Living
In the whisper of impermanence, we
often forget that the most sacred moment is the one we are breathing right now.
There is a peculiar melancholy found in cemeteries: they are filled with
passionate eulogies, promises of eternal love, and confessions that arrive far
too late. As a practitioner of the Budhista path, I view this phenomenon not
merely as a social tragedy, but as a profound misunderstanding of presence.

love are the soul's nourishment; they are useless at a banquet where the guest has already departed. Cultivate your garden while the sun shines, for flowers placed upon a grave cannot be smelled by the one resting beneath.
This human experience is fragile, a brief spark in the vastness
of time. In Budhismo, we meditate on death not to dwell on sadness, but to
ignite a fierce urgency for kindness. When you hold back a "thank you" or an "I
love you," you are gambling with a currency that has an expiration date. We
often prioritize mundane tasks over meaningful connections, assuming there will
always be a "later." But the transition from being to memory happens in the
blink of an eye.
GOTAS DE SABIDURÍA

La Traición de la Convicción: El Arte de no Creer a tu Mente
Como practicante del budhismo, uno de los descubrimientos más
inquietantes pero liberadores es comprender que nuestra mente no es un narrador
objetivo de la realidad, sino un arquitecto de ilusiones. Todos hemos
experimentado esos momentos de certeza absoluta donde una inseguridad se siente
como una verdad universal o un juicio apresurado se convierte en un hecho
irrefutable. Sin embargo, la esencia de la enseñanza búdhica nos advierte que la
mente puede mentirnos con una convicción tan profunda que nos arrastra al
sufrimiento innecesario.

interpretaciones, empezamos a desmantelar la estructura del ego que nos mantiene aislados. No se trata de suprimir los pensamientos, sino de no otorgarles el poder de definir nuestra realidad.
Cuando dejamos de creerle todo a la mente, empezamos a experimentar una paz que no depende de las circunstancias. El discernimiento nos permite identificar el sesgo, la exageración y la falsedad. En este silencio consciente, la sabiduría Budha emerge de forma natural. Al final del día, la libertad no consiste en tener una mente silenciosa, sino en tener una mente que ya no puede engañarnos con sus cuentos de convicción absoluta. Solo entonces podemos caminar por el mundo con la claridad de quien sabe que la verdad reside más allá de las palabras y los conceptos mentales.
The Betrayal of Conviction: The Art of Disbelieving Your Mind
As a practitioner of Budhismo, one of the most unsettling yet liberating discoveries is understanding that our mind is not an objective narrator of reality, but rather an architect of illusions. We have all experienced those moments of absolute certainty where an insecurity feels like a universal truth or a hasty judgment becomes an irrefutable fact. However, the essence of Budhista teaching warns us that the mind can lie to us with a conviction so deep that it drags us into unnecessary suffering.
The problem is not that we think, but that we blindly believe every thought that crosses our consciousness. We live in an age of overstimulation where the internal voice is loud and, often, tyrannical. That voice tells us we are not enough, that danger lurks around every corner, or that our happiness depends on something external. Learning to discern is, in essence, the act of creating a space between thought and reaction. A Budhista master would always suggest that you observe your thoughts as if they were clouds: they are there, they have shape and color, but they are not the sky.
The conviction with which the mind presents its deceptions is its most powerful tool. It disguises itself as instinct or "common sense," but often it is only the echo of past traumas or projected fears. To cultivate a genuine Budhista vision, we must become kind skeptics of our own narrative. By questioning the veracity of our interpretations, we begin to dismantle the ego structure that keeps us isolated. It is not about suppressing thoughts, but about not granting them the power to define our reality.
When we stop believing everything the mind says, we begin to experience a peace that does not depend on circumstances. Discernment allows us to identify bias, exaggeration, and falsehood. In this conscious silence, Budha wisdom emerges naturally. At the end of the day, freedom does not consist in having a silent mind, but in having a mind that can no longer deceive us with its tales of absolute conviction. Only then can we walk through the world with the clarity of one who knows that truth resides beyond words and mental concepts. This is the path toward a truly Búdhica existence, where we are the masters of our perception rather than its prisoners.
