Best Cases for the Google Pixel

10 Best Cases for the Google Pixel to Protect and Add Function

Best Cases for the Google Pixel

Google has unleashed its first and latest smartphones into the world. Yes, its first, because Google claims that the Pixel and the Pixel XL is completely designed by them, and it shows as well.

The Pixel is the smaller variant of the pair and it has virtually no compromises. Generally, manufacturers have predispositions to skimp on certain aspects of their smaller smartphone, but it’s not the case with the Pixel.

Its gorgeous unibody design and the remarkable contrast between the glass and metal makes it an absolute beauty. However, there are some downsides to these elements, though. For instance, the glass upper half is extremely prone to scratches, while the lower half is a fingerprint magnet.

That is why, we, at JOA, recommend you use cases as it will increase your Pixel’s functionality while adding a dash of style to the mix. Without further ado, here are JOA’s picks for the 10 best cases for the Google Pixel.

1. Otter Box Commuter Series

Otter Box Comutter Series

When you want to take protection to the next level, then the OtterBox Commuter is the case for you. I’m sure that Otterbox is a case manufacturer that needs no introduction. This case adds much needed protection to your Pixel.

It may not seem like it from the protection it provides, but the OtterBox Commuter is quite thin and lightweight as well. This ensures that you do not need the hassle of enduring with a heavy smartphone.

It is a 2-piece case, and protects your Pixel from bumps, drops, and shocks. The material used is quite convenient, as you can pull it in and out of your pocket without much resistance. It retails for $39.95 and is only available in only one black coloured variant.

Notable Feature: It also has flaps for every port so that dust and other debris do not get in.

2. Cimo Protective Cover

Cimo Protective Cover

When we live in a world where we’ve seen every design possible for a smartphone, the Pixel certainly takes a unique approach with its dual-tone design. That is why you might prefer a case which does not conceal your smartphone’s obvious good looks.

The Cimo protective case is a lightweight case which does a very good job in preserving the Pixel’s design. The material it’s made from is quite durable to boot. Even though it is very thin, it does provide some features on the protection aspect as well.

It has raised bezels which prevent your smartphone from making direct contact with whatever surface you’re on, and this is extremely important in the unfortunate scenario where you drop your investment. It also has precise cutouts which do not obstruct the usage of your smartphone in any way.

Stop Your Android Device from Overheating
How to

How to: Stop Your Android Device from Overheating

Stop Your Android Device from Overheating

If your phone gets so hot that it turns off regularly, check our guide for everything you need to know about overheating Android devices, and what you can do to prevent it from happening.

It can be hard not to worry when your device is running hot, but if you can get to the cause, you should be able to solve the problem, or, at least, stop it from happening again in the future.

Let’s kick off the list with the most obvious question;

1. What’s the Cause of the Heat?

Galaxy S2

First off, it’s better to attempt to identify just what is causing your device to burn up. If you’re not running anything demanding, make sure to kill any apps running in the background anyway.

Playing games is often the most common cause of overheating because most phones lack any cooling systems such as the fans you’ll find in computers and consoles. Games tend to push hardware to the limit, and your device will start to overheat depending on just how demanding the game is.

Rio Game

A sturdy case might help to protect your device from bumps and scrapes, but it can also keep heat locked in. Switching to something lighter is helpful if your device overheats regularly.

Using your device in the sun can cause it to overheat rapidly, which can lead to battery damage. While I was on holiday in the Florida heat, I (stupidly) played Final Fantasy 7 on my device by the pool. The phone never forgave me, and the battery life was never the same again. (But it was still worth it.)

Here’s an interesting video that shows how shooting in 4K causes devices to heat up quickly;

Anything from outdated software to defective hardware could potentially be the cause, and if you’ve overclocked your device, it’s always likely to get warmer when you’re pushing the hardware. Lastly, extended browsing can also be a factor, especially if the pages have videos and lots of adverts, so try to take a break if you’re planning on browsing for a while.

2. Hot while Charging

Droid Charge

If your device is charging, it’s normal for it to convert some of the power into heat. Keeping it plugged in while gaming will cause it to get even warmer, but it should still be fine as long as there’s some form of ventilation.

It’s best to leave the device to charge up before using it, as that can cause overheating, and it can damage overall battery life. Of course, there are horror stories about chargers and devices exploding while plugged in, but that’s usually due to third-party wires or hardware faults.

However, if your device is becoming extremely hot, turn it off and remove it from the charger. Wait for it to cool down completely before turning it back on again. (Make sure you let it cool down naturally.)

There’s always a chance that your battery could be defective, so if it’s old, consider getting it replaced altogether, and you should see a difference straight away.

3. Will Heat Damage My Phone?

If you’re just playing games, or you notice a slight change in temperature while charging, it’s unlikely that your device will suffer any damage. Rather than exploding, your device will switch itself off if it gets too hot, which can be pretty annoying if the phone is defective. Nonetheless, it’s better than it exploding in your face while you’re taking a selfie.

Shutdown Heat

Heat can damage the overall battery life of your device, and once this happens, there’s no way to get it back to the way it was. This means that you should take care of your battery as much as possible, as it’s slowly going to get worse as your device gets older.

If your device runs hot when it isn’t being used, (and there’s nothing major running in the background), you might have to consider either a replacement battery or phone.

4. Temperature Monitoring Apps for Android

An app like Cooler Master is a great way to keep an eye on just how hot your handset is. It has lots of great reviews on the Play Store, and it can be used to help you see which apps are consuming resources. Closing them should help to keep your phone safe.

CM Icon

If your device is rooted, you could always go for Coolify, which is a one-click app that aims to optimize your device. It might seem like magic, but it has helped lots of users to keep their device cool.

Coolify Icon

Either way, there’s some apps on the store that can help you regulate your battery and power usage, so if your device starts heating up, give one of them a go to see if there’s any difference.

Since the device will switch itself off if it gets too hot, you shouldn’t worry that much if your phone gets a bit toasty, but it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry.

Keeping your device cool will help to prolong battery life, so it’s always recommended not to ignore a noticeable rise in heat.

You should now have a better understanding of just why your phone gets hot, and what you can do to prevent any further damage.

  1. Nothing stops my tablet from overheating. I dont play high end games, but simple ones. I play for five mins and its hot. It happens with everyone I know. Only bought the damn thing for gaming too! No advice so far has changed anything. 🙁 Nothing wrong with the tablet, and I dont have anything running on it. It just doesnt like games

    1. Hi Marie,
      If you are not doing anything that is causing your phone to overheat, it could be an app, so try booting your tablet in safe mode and see what happened. If the overheating stops, then you know it´s an app, but if it continues, it could be the battery and the best thing you can do is take it for service. Thanks for commenting. =-)

    1. It´s hard to tell which one, but when my phone would overheat for whatever reason, I would use CPU Cooler to kill any of the apps that were working at the moment and could be making my phone overheat. The leaving your phone alone for a while also helped. If your phone is extremely hot, try turning it off for a while. Hope this helps.

  2. My phone overheats when its been not in use then when i go to use it it will be overheating according to security master app. Any ideas on why?

    1. Hi, Patty. There are a number of reasons that your phone might be overheating. Is it in a case? Are there apps running in the background? Are you storing your phone in a ventilated place when it’s not being used?

    Eichhornia crassipes is so called menace and nuisance is considered as the world’s worst aquatic plant but a highly productive aquatic weed that causes a serious hindrance to nation’s development activities. The present investigation was planned to explore the potential of Eichhornia crassipes in a way that, its positive attributes outweigh the negative ones. The present paper deals with the phytochemical screening of any therapeutic importance from Eichhornia crassipes. Qualitative analysis of the plant parts have revealed the presence of various components of medical importance including tannins, phlobatanin, steroid, terpenoid, alkaloid, flavonoid, phenolic contents, quinone, anthraquinone and cardiac glycosides. Because of the rich diversity of this aquatic plant it is expected that screening and scientific evaluation of plant extracts may prove beneficial for the mankind along with the management of the weed. The result obtained indicates that though the plant is an aquatic weed is good services of phytochemicals needed for maintenance of good health and can also be exploited in the manufacture of drugs.

The Fear and Guilt of People-Pleasing

chimsartlife asked a question:

Hello Pastor Park, recently I’ve been looking outside of myself and seeing that I talk too much about myself. I remember you once had a podcast in which you talked about being a people pleaser. I’ve noticed that I tend to puff up the things I am capable of doing in order to impress others. But it makes me sound like I’m full of myself. I’ve tried and I’ve prayed about it. But my way of stopping is to avoid talking as much. I’m a talker. Now I just run from my normal social interactions.

Hey dear friend, I’m guilty of the very same thing, and I go through the same self-conscious twitchiness. “Am I being humble enough? Am I bragging too much? Am I being annoying right now?”

The problem is that once we’re aware of our own problems, we tend to beat ourselves up too much. Especially Christians. We are experts at flogging ourselves like it’s a spiritual experience. We’re not always so good at resting in God’s assurance of us.

I’ve learned that the solution to overcome our issues is not to run from them, but to find new ways forward for something better. If you only “run from sin,” you’ll start to second-guess yourself so much that you’ll hardly be yourself at all. Part of receiving the acceptance of Christ is knowing that he has wired you a certain way, and you can use it for good instead of worrying about going bad.

Here’s what I mean. You mentioned you have a way of puffing yourself up to impress others. If God has gifted you with uplifting speech, you can use this for good. You can subvert it by bragging about someone else. You can encourage someone for what they did last week. You can build others up. You can give over the credit others and to Christ. You can even admit where you fell short and what you would like to do better next time. It’s not to get false sympathy, but to remind yourself that you’re human and you’ll always need God’s help.

The heart issue of people-pleasing is that we’re not really thinking of other people (that irony). We’re not thinking of how to serve others, but how to get them to like us. By turning this around, your entire axis will change to serving others instead of squeezing from them. And you know, it’s not an altogether terrible thing to talk about what you can do. I think so long as you know that God is the one who’s doing it, you’ll have both the humility and confidence to praise what He’s done through you. You want people to know what God can do, and that’s always a good thing.

— J.S.

From afar the coronavirus epidemic looks more like a well-staged hysteria based on the films “Contagion” than a real threat to humanity. Humanity is divided into two categories: believers and non-believers, in the virus, of course.
We will give the right to doctors to discuss the veracity and danger of the virus. I, as a travel blogger, will discuss traveling. Most recently, I returned from a trip to Asia, and on my page on Instagram, I wrote about measures against Coronavirus that take place in developed Singapore and provincial Cambodia. By the way, Europe has a lot to learn.
“Contagion” shots abound with ominous views of abandoned airports, supermarkets, and other public places. The virus from the film is really very dangerous, it is transmitted with one touch of the infected surface, the sick people do not survive. In reality, we (the world) are still far from the apocalypse. Many of my friends are traveling right now, and so far no one has been infected. So the question is whether to cancel the trip, I will answer NO.
But, it turned out that Coronavirus disrupted the holidays for about 50% of my Instagram followers. Therefore, of course, the virus adjusts its plans. And it’s not a chance to get infected, but a chance to be quarantined. As the policy of governments is changing rapidly.

How to travel in the era of Coronavirus?

  1. Do not make long-term plans
    I could write you a list of countries where there is no virus, but you never know what will happen tomorrow. Every day, the rules of entry and exit from country to country are changing. People when going on a trip to Italy did not even assume that the virus could reach Europe, and upon returning, Italy turned out to be the epicenter of the epidemic. Today, the United States has closed the entrance to all Europeans. What will happen tomorrow is unknown.
    2. Choose to travel to unpopular destinations
    So far, the spread of Coronavirus in the world shows up in popular countries. If you have always dreamed of a safari in Tanzania – this is the same hour.
    3. Try a trip by car
    In this situation, you will not only not be dependent on changes in flights, but also avoid a large crowd at airports.
    4. Explore your country
    Why not take advantage of hysteria and travel around Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Scandinavia? Why not take a trip to Russia?
    5. Do not fly to Italy
    Not because you will get sick there. But because, upon your return, you will definitely be taken to Quarantine.
    6. See last-minute tours
    This is amazing! How much prices have fallen in travel agencies. Recently I received an offer: a week in Tenerife all-inclusive just for 250 euros per person.
    7. Fly to asia
    You will not believe it, but in Cambodia and Thailand, the number of infected people is approaching zero! Indonesia is also safe.
    8. Follow the news
    Subscribe to some sources (there are a lot of them now) with news about Coronavirus.
     9. Follow travel bloggers
    What for? So you will see that traveling is not so scary now. You just need to remember the safety measures.

How to protect yourself from coronavirus?

It is probably worth buying. Probably you better by a couple of bottles since antiseptics and masks miraculously disappear from pharmacies. By the way, hand sanitizers are also sold in cosmetics stores. And now, attention, you need to handle not only your hands, but also, necessarily, your phone and laptop keyboard. Also, if you are flying in an airplane, do not be too lazy to wash the surfaces around you: a table, a window, armrests.

2. Avoid crowds
This is the most important rule, not only during the epidemic, but also in principle. In fact, a crowd of people can only be met at the airport and during public events. Events are canceled. So only the airports remain. Here I also have good news. The density of people at the airport has decreased significantly. We in Asia were able to easily separate from the crowd.

3. Public toilets
Do not sit on a toilet seat, wash your hands, do not touch anything. And it also concerns toilets in airplanes. They generally should be avoided.

This is the most controversial element in the fight against the virus. In Asia, 80% of travelers wore masks at airports and airplanes. But they wore them wrong. At the passport check, you must show your face to the border guard. This involves removing the mask. However, having removed the mask, you cannot put it back on, otherwise, all bacteria get inside, and its meaning is lost. As a result, I came to the conclusion that wearing a mask is more for calming the nerves of others than for your safety. Therefore, if you can’t buy a mask at the pharmacy, don’t panic.

No, in this post I will not tell you about the fabulous taste of durian or that you need to try a bug. But since Thai food is one of my favorites, I decided to write you a list of my beloved dishes in Thailand, that I really recommend you to try. Be careful, once you try Pad Thai you won’t be able to stop! My husband ate around 3 portions of Pad Thai every day.

1. Spring rolls

It’s my favorite snack while in Asia. Shrimps, fresh veggies wrapped in rice paper. It is super healthy and gluten-free. I also love the fried version of spring rolls, it is less healthy (totally unhealthy) but soo tasty.

2. Pad Thai

Every cuisine has its way to cook spaghetti or noodles. And my favorite definitely would be Pad Thai! This is a classic Thai meal – fried rice noodles with vegetables and sauce, nuts. You can have it with shrimps, chicken or vegetarian. It is a very tasty meal and very high in calories.

thai food
3. Mango Sticky Rice.

It is a traditional Thai dessert. Sticky rice cooked in coconut milk and served with sweet mango

4. Thai Fried Rice (Khao Phat or Khao Pad)

If you have tried Fried Rice in Asia you won’t be able to eat rice in any other country. The meal is basically fried rice with soy sauce, onions, vegetables, and species. You can also order a Fried Rice with eggs, chicken or shrimps.

5. Onigiri

I prefer to call them “riceburgers”. This is not a really Thai meal (it is Japanese) but onigiri is usually sold in Thai supermarkets or even 7/11. Basically, onigiri is just a plane rice triangle wrapped in nori leaves. You can choose the plane onigiri and also with a filling: salmon, tuna, etc. That is why I call it “riceburger”.

6. Big Sheet Seaweed

Those are nori chips. They are sold in 7/11.

7. Thai fruits

Thailand is the best country to eat fruits. The variety of fruits is enormous. And they are very cheap. When I go back from Thailand I usually buy a basket of fruits as souvenirs. But my favorite will always be a dragonfruit.

8. Thai Tea

It’s just a powder tea with milk and sugar, but instead of just adding ingredients, they blend it. The same tea can be hot and iced.

9. Thai rolled ice cream (Fried ice cream)

Also known by “stir-fried ice cream”. I am not a big fan of ice creams including this one. But at least once you have to order a fried ice cream just to witness its’ preparation. The liquid base (sugar, cream etc) is poured onto a frozen pan and then chopped, mixed, spread and rolled right in front of you.

10. Tom Yum

It is a traditional Thai hot spicy soup. The best part of the soup and also the reason why you need to try it, as while eating you feel so many different tastes: coconut milk, spicy lemongrass etc.

11. Banana Roti

Thai roti is one of THE most popular desserts among tourists in Thailand! And this are simply the pancakes (crepes). This is a street-food dessert. And the pancakes are cooked just in front of your eyes on this mobile cooker. The usual filling is banana, but you can add everything you want like Nutella or fruits, etc.

How to travel around Asia?

For many of you, it seems that it is really difficult to orientate in Asian countries. However, it’s much easier than you think. All the transport timetables and possible routes of how to get from place to place are united on one website – 12.go.asia. You can combine both trains with buses and ferries including the airport transfers and literally, can get to any point you want.

Integers Activities and Games Mat:

Positive and negative numbers play an important role in our lives every day!
Our colourful integer mat includes the numbers negative ten through positive ten in numerals, letters, and grouped symbols.  These are effective for building fundamental number literacy skills.

Reinforce your students understanding of integers in a positive way!

How Integers Activities are used in different careers
By: Ashley Su

A swimmer has to compare their times to their previous times fpr that event. What you have to do is subtract the time you have now (ex. 30.02 seconds) from the time you had before (ex. 34.13) (then, it would be 34.13sec.-30.02sec.=4.09sec.) If the answer is negative, you gained time. If the answer is positive, you eliminate time.  In addition, we also have a temperature mat to demonstrate seasons and integers.

A golfer needs to know their score. So they need to calculate their score using integers. Say that par was 4. If you made it in only 2 shots, you subtract 4 from 2. You get -2. That is your score for that course. If you go another round, lets say your score was 3. Add -2 to 3 to get 1. That is your score for now.

When you check people’s accounts for them, they might be in debt (negative) or they might have a positive balance. This is one way. Another way is when a person makes a loan (negative) or makes a deposit (positive) you must quickly add or subtract, and if a loan, you must know how much this person owes the bank in how much time.

Family Doctor

When they take your blood pressure they have to deal with negative (too low) numbers for blood pressure or positive (too high) numbers. They need to know if your weight is above the normal or below, or if your heart beats less than the normal bpm or higher.

Stock Broker

They track stocks and they see weather the stocks are positive or negative. They check the relation between the prices so they know when to sell, when to buy, what to sell, and what to buy. Also, Your stocks might loose some of their worth, and some might might gain some.

Emoticon, 1881

This article on Rhizome inspired me to post this picture relating to a sort of a media archaeology of emoticons — before the digital, before mass communication over networks, and demonstrated as a form of  “typographical art”.  This one is from the Puck magazine, 1881.

Emoticon 1881

For a more in-depth excavation of emoticons, we should look at the various work on categorisation of emotions across humans and animals that was a key topic of research also in the 19th century. It relates to the importance of the face before the facebook.

How about the face, expression and emotion more generally? For instance Charles Darwin  was interested in the evolutionary aspects of faces and expressions, and at the centre of much interest lies a curious book by the neurologist Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne de Boulogne: The Mechanism of Human Facial Expression, or an Electro-physiological Analysis of the Expression of the Passions Applicable to the Practice of the Fine Arts (1862)

Duchenne worked at the Salpêtrière hospital which later became known for its hysteric (female) patients, and the variety of new media based experiments and empirical methods by Charcot.  In Duchenne’s work, the face, the expression was something that was the shared ground between humans and animals in these experiments.

Duchenne was  in the 1860s  using photography as a method to tap into the animal forces of the face. Photography offered him a way to capture the formal features of expressions. The patients were the models. Yet, two different time scales clashed. Photographic processes demanded a lot of time and holding the face still was difficult –Duchenne was using as his models mentally and physically ill patients. Instead of making photographic process quicker, he slowed down the body. By applying electrodes in right places of the face, the subject froze and kept the expression long enough – faces neurologyit became more than a fleeting expression, and an index for scientific purposes (indeed, Darwin was using these photographs, see Phillip Prodger’s Darwin’s Camera, Oxford University Press, 2009, 81-83).

For his own research and visualisation purposes, Darwin  used  engravings made from the photographs, where the electrodes were removed. This made the expressive faces slightly more natural, of course. An enforced typology of the face and emotion.

    Those photos from Duchenne are deeply disturbing for a variety of reasons. I wonder how much could be learned from them anyway given the context. Shudder.

  2. March 14, 2013 at 1:01 pm

    Those photographs from Duchenne are disturbing for a number of reasons. What is the emoticon for shuddering in horror please?

    • March 14, 2013 at 7:25 pm

      I know, really …powerful and filled with a certain horror in them. I guess the emoticon for horror might be taken from one of those?

      • March 16, 2013 at 5:19 pm

        Yes. Just goes to illustrate the limits of what an emoticon can really convey… Sorry for the double comment!

Ever since my now sixteen-year-old goddaughter was young, I’ve taken her out on Girls’ Day Out, during which we get mani-pedis, go to the movies, circus and other fun adventures. When she was about ten years old and I was still living in Boston, I took her to my hair salon.

Being a Saturday afternoon, the salon was crowded and we could not sit together. I took a seat in a far corner of the salon while my goddaughter sat in the front of the salon, next to a large man wearing Patriots sweatshirt, sweatpants and bandana on his head. I checked in on her periodically. Like me, she had a book to read and also her Nintendo DS, but she passed the time talking and laughing with him.

My far corner seat was a seat people tend to avoid because it’s easy to be forgotten and overlooked by the stylists even if you have an appointment. The guy came over and told me that I better move because they would close the salon with me still in it. I arrogantly replied that they would not forget me because I was a regular and loyal customer. I’d been going there for over four years and sometimes got hook-ups for myself and my goddaughter–meaning they’d squeeze me in last minute or give me discounted hairstyles for my long locs.

After the shuffle of getting our hair washed and conditioned and waiting for a stylist, the three of us ended up sitting next to each other. My goddaughter, who does not have locs, sat between me and the guy. He asked me if she was my daughter among other questions. I replied she was my goddaughter and we were enjoying a girls’ day out because I like to spoil her. She tried to protest being spoiled, but I pointed out that she was the recent recipient of a Wii, iPod, mani-pedi, and a hair salon visit. He commented that it was nice that I was “spoiling” a child and what an honor to be chosen as godparent to a child. He also mentioned that children deserve to be spoiled and he loves to spoil his child. At the mention of his having a child I lost interest in possibly dating him because I prefer a man with no kids, not that I was sure his friendly banter and chattiness were leading to his asking me out.

I usually avoid black hair salons on weekends because I usually spend the whole day there, no matter the time of my appointment. But because of my goddaughter’s school schedule, this visit had to be on the weekend. Muriel’s Hair Salon is a popular and respected natural hair salon. There’s a framed newspaper clipping on the wall in which the writer raves about the styles, care and products. I myself was a referral client. We were at the salon for hours, but I didn’t mind as much because the guy was funny and had us both laughing most time.

Children can be brutally honest and my goddaughter was no different. Back then she had a habit of calling people “squishy” when they’re not in prime physical condition. At one point she grabbed his arm and told him he was squishy. In response he made a funny comment about me. I wanted to reply how he looked like an obsessive Patriot fan decked out in Pats gear from head to toe. I refrained because I didn’t want to seem rude.

Later when it was time to leave, he and my goddaughter were still joking and laughing together. I felt like a third wheel. As I was putting on my coat, I heard a customer comment to the salon owner that someone else in the shop looked familiar.

“Girl, ball players come here all the time. They look like regular people when they come in here.” She also mentioned how they looked smaller in real life than they do on television. It was not the first time I had heard that athletes came to the salon. The first time I entered the salon, I was greeted by an 8×10 framed and autographed photograph of the Red Sox player Manny Ramirez.

The customer’s question was still fresh in my mind when I walked over to my goddaughter and the guy and said it was time to go. He feigned sadness at our departure and in response my goddaughter gave him a hug. He engulfed her in a giant bear hug as if they were family parting after a long overdue reunion after a long period of not seeing each other. I thanked him for being nice to her during the day. As a final word I asked, “By the way, what’s your name?”

He told me his name and asked for mine.

“Nice to meet you, Sharon.”

I didn’t bother to correct him. No need to know my name. He had a kid and I wasn’t interested.

That day I was having car trouble and opted to ride the bus. It was cold outside but the bus stop coincidentally was located right in front of the salon. I had my goddaughter wait inside while I watched for the bus. They continued their bond fest while I was outside.

When I spied the bus approaching, I ran back inside the salon to alert my goddaughter. We said our good-byes again.

As I slid into my seat on the bus, something clicked in my mind.

I sent a mass text to three cousins, all football fans, and asked if there was a Patriot player named Lawrence.

All three almost simultaneously and verbatim sent a response text: “Lawrence Maroney. Why?”

To this day, my goddaughter will randomly ask, “Do you remember when we met that football player? Too bad we didn’t get an autograph or a picture on your phone.”

Yeah, too bad.

Activating the inner Spiritual Guide: How to fulfill our vajra commitment to others?

In the last post we discussed making a vajra commitment to others.  In this post, I will explain how we actually fulfil our vajra commitment to others.  We can fulfil our vajra commitment to others by practicing for them as if we were them.  We are prepared to take on all their delusions and negative karma and work through it for them.  With total faith in Dorje Shugden and like Shantideva explains in Chapter 8, we offer ourself to others and are willing to become whatever they need us to become to be able to provide them temporary and ultimate benefit.  We are ready to endure whatever we need to endure.  We are ready to go through whatever we need to go through.  Soldiers are ready to give their lives to protect others and go through difficult training and situations to be able to do this.  We are the same, except we are seeking to protect them from samsara.  We are ready to work through their obstacles for them so that they do not have to.

How do we do this?  We view our delusions and negative karma as those we have taken on (from our vajra family).  When a delusion arises in our mind, we imagine that it is one that we have taken on – that of our vajra family/future students.  We then imagine that as we overcome it in our mind, we are eliminating it in their mind.  Quite simply, we completely exchange ourself for others, where we impute “self” onto others and “others” onto what we previously considered to be ourself.  Shantideva explains this practice in Chapter 8 of his Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life.  For example, when we are sick we can imagine that as we are overcoming our delusions related to being sick, we are actually overcoming all of the delusions of others related to them being sick.  Literally, like Christ, we feel like we go through others suffering for them so that they don’t have to.  We have taken their suffering upon ourselves and are working through it for them.  We take on the delusions of our vajra family because we realize we are in a better position to work through them than they are.  Our mind becomes like a TV screen which reflects the aggregate nexus of the delusions arising in the minds of our vajra family.  We become like a contaminated mind treatment facility.  We bring in delusions and negative karma, we treat it within our mind and then return it back purified.

Technically speaking, how can we do this?  We essentially take on the contaminated karma of our vajra family.  This includes all negative karma, deluded tendencies similar to the cause and their obstructions to omniscience.  We can also accomplish this through requests to Dorje Shugden.  We have on our mind the contaminated karma for virtually any experience.  So we are essentially requesting Dorje Shugden to activate the karma in our mind that corresponds with the delusions and negative karma of our vajra family.  We make requests to Dorje Shugden and dedicate:  may the delusions that arise in my mind be those of my vajra family; and when I overcome them in my mind may they be eliminated from their minds.  Since ultimately, the world is a creation of our mind, if we eliminate these delusions from our mind, their effects will also gradually vanish from our world as the karma giving rise to these appearances exhausts itself.

How does it feel to practice in this way?  We can imagine that we are the ‘resultant’ Vajra Family, and we engage in the practice.  We view ourself as the ‘resultant person’ of our vajra family, and seeing ourself in this way, we try gain the realizations of the stages of the path of Sutra and Tantra.  This is really the highest form of King-like bodhichitta, and can easily be understood as Christ-like bodhichitta.  Even though the delusions are arising in our mind, we don’t feel them as “our delusions.”  Rather we experience them as the delusions of our vajra family that we have taken on.  When we work through them, we feel like a spiritual surgeon directly healing the minds of others.  We feel ourself as the Dharmakaya performing spiritual surgery on the minds of our vajra family.  As the Dharmakaya, we imagine that we are accomplishing the function of the various practices on the minds of your vajra family (purifying their subtle body, etc.)

The benefits of this practice are limitless.  By doing this for others, we create the causes for the Spiritual Guide to do it for us.  Doing this gives us enormous power in our practice, because we feel like we are directly practicing for all living being.  We feel, “if I succeed, they succeed; if I fail, they fail.”  If our superior intention is genuine, this will really motivate us.  This practice gives our suffering meaning, so we gladly accept it.  It helps cut our identification with the delusions arising within our mind.  They are not our delusions, they are the delusions of others that we have taken on.  With this practice, bodhichitta comes naturally.  We see the direct connection between overcoming our delusions and negative karma and benefiting others.  This practice creates a special karmic connection with these beings which will ripen in the form of them being our disciple in the future.  It will karmically draws us closer to them in the form of a special relationship with them as our disciple.  If we think deeply, it is nearly a miracle anytime somebody turns to us for spiritual advice.  Dorje Shugden does not activate the karma for others to come into contact with us before we have the realizations necessary to actually help them.  When we overcome their delusions in our mind, then we know exactly how to help them.  On this basis, then Dorje Shugden can safely activate the karma for them to appear.  It is in this way that Dharma centers grow.  Venerable Tharchin said that all we need to do to make a center grow is for ourselves to gain realizations.  Ultimately, by eliminating others delusions in our mind, we are actually eliminating them from their minds.  This is so because their faults and delusions come from our mind anyway, they are the reflection of our own faults.  If we eliminate the fault in our own mind, we will no longer project it into others.  In this way, we can directly engage in the actions of a Buddha liberating all beings right now simply by working on our own mind.  Venerable Tharchin said every step we take towards enlightenment, we take all beings one step closer as well in proportion to their karmic connection with you.  With this practice, we can understand how this is so.

  1. This is so utterly profound and blessed, there is so much wisdom in this practice, wow you are utterly connected to your Guru I rejoice. I will have to read this again and again and meditate on this to really understand and practice this, thank you so so much. Fiona

  2. Thank you for this precious teaching. I started out reading all your blogs about emotional blackmailers and I became confused about how to respond to my ex’s last few letters and emails to me. I had decided not to respond to them, since it felt like I’d be joining into his delusions. But your blackmailer blog brought up feelings of “perhaps I should make some response” rather than ignoring his gibberish. However THIS post restored peace to my mind, because it shines the light on why I get such flaming letters and emails from him–that’s MY karma showing up. Now I know what to do–not be passive, but actively purify my negative karma and his will clear up too. Awesome! Thank you so much!
