For anyone wondering. The intention for ordinary beings when we get married and have children is to selfishly fulfil our desires which enhances the 3 root poisons and the karmic result of which is suffering. For ordinary people to have children or get married in such a way that it benefits others requires purifying ourselves and our intentions through GREAT Sincere diligent practice, which unfortunately not many of us will accomplish not due to our self created obstacles

This perspective provides a unique lens through which to consider personal relationships and societal expectations, although it truly does not directly align with Buddha teachings on karma. The perspective given in the talk indeed presents a very critical and one-sided view on relationships, marriage, and societal norms, emphasizing the negative aspects and potential for creating karma in a negative light. This approach contrasts with more balanced views that acknowledge both the challenges and joys of life, including the growth and positive experiences that can come from relationships and societal engagements when approached mindfully and with compassion, as encouraged in broader spiritual and philosophical traditions. The perspective diverges from Buddha teachings on karma by focusing more on societal and personal behaviours around relationships and family life. In Buddhism, karma is understood as the law of moral causation, encompassing not just actions but also intentions behind those actions. It's more about the ethical quality of actions and their impact on future rebirths and states of existence. The discussed viewpoint, while insightful on societal norms and personal psychology, frames karma more as a consequence of specific lifestyle choices rather than the broader ethical and spiritual principles emphasized by Buddha. Buddha acknowledged the presence of suffering (dukkha), the focus is more on understanding the causes of suffering and finding ways to pass through them rather than finding ways to resist them and run away from them. This is done through mindfulness, ethical living, and following the Noble Eightfold Path, which guides individuals towards wisdom, ethical conduct, and mental discipline. The teaching emphasizes that suffering is not inherent in experiences but arises from our reactions to them. By cultivating a mind of equanimity and mindfulness, one can experience life's abundance and find joy even amidst challenges. Marriage and societal norms, when approached with mindfulness and wholesome intentions, can be meaningful aspects of one's life journey. Buddha encouraged resilience, suggesting that no matter how often one strays from the path, there is always the opportunity to return and progress towards enlightenment. Indeed, the Buddha's teachings emphasize openness, understanding, and compassion. While resilience and the ability to return to the path towards enlightenment are central themes in Buddhism, the critical and biased viewpoint expressed in the talk does not align with the inclusive and compassionate approach encouraged by the Buddha. His teachings invite us to explore life's experiences with a mindful and open heart, understanding that every moment offers an opportunity for growth, learning, and movement towards enlightenment, beyond judgment and negativity.
Sri Aurobindo had a wife for the benefit of all beings. Ordinary beings get married for their own selfish desires and that’s where the true problem is. Marriage in and of itself isn’t the problem. Example: a car can be used to transport people to a hospital or used to commit robbery. The car is neutral but it’s intended purpose defines weather it’s good or bad
Wish Rinpoche swift return 🙏
🙏🙏🙏 Never thought having a family is creating so much karma...this talk enlightened my mind!
Thanks.
