week 36day-7

Finite time and space coordinates by which I am bound are one way I keep my position vis-à-vis Oneness undisturbed. This point may be understood from the following example.
In Tibet the regional form of Buddhism has evolved a kind of inheritance that has a parallel in Christianity.
(Where Jesus considered a family system based on doing ‘the will of my Father’ (St.Matt 12:50) we see in tulku,
the reincarnation of Avalokiteswara). Dalai Lama’s inherited authority makes him undisputed leader and spiritual guru for the Tibetans. The current Dalai Lama is thus 14th of this line and his term of life is set in time and space.
Time-space coordinates give the mission of Dalai Lama its own fingerprint. His flight from Tibet in 1959 cannot be referred to other tulkus; nor can the honor the world paid to this ‘ocean of wisdom’ in the form of Nobel prize for peace be said in connection with others.
