Buddhist systems, as all the systems of thought, are guiding means, they are not absolute truths but are like rafts which can lead to ultimate reality, aswell as providing a foundation in becoming a better person (chi-sem).

OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM.
Tibetan pronounciation - Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Péma Siddhi Hung. I KINDLY invoke you, Vajra Guru, Padmasambhava. Founder of the
Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. with a vow not-to perturb the pure linage and its sacred transmissions.

Guru Padmasambhava, came to Tibet in 817 C.E. at the invitation of King Trisong Deutsan (742-797) in order to subdue the evil forces then impeding the spread of Buddhism.

Guru Rinpoche, as he is popularly known, bound all evil spirits by oath and transformed them into forces compatible with the spread of Buddhism.


Guru Rinpoche also gave widespread teachings from the highest classes of tantra and in particular to his twenty-five principal disciples.

These first Tibetan adepts are renowned for their spiritual accomplishments, for example, Namkhe Nyingpo for his feat of travelling on beams of light, Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal for reviving the dead, Vairochana for his intuition, Nanam Yeshe for soaring in the sky, Kawa Peltseg for reading others thought and Jnana Kumara for his miraculous powers.

Ancient Wisdom, Modern World
Buddha hands me a miniture temple of Bodhgaya (Hindi: बोधगया). The Temple fits on the palm of my hand, within the temple I can see humans praying & going about there business. ...

_______________________________
The Body of Being or The
Dharmakaya
Buddha essence often personified as Mahavairocana, resided in the Arupadhatu or formless realm. Emanating from the Dharmakaya is the second Realm of Forms, in which reside numerous Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, plus celestial musicians and attendants. This second state or condition of the Buddha is called the Sambhogakaya. The Buddha in charge of this world system is Amitabha, The Buddha of Infinite Life and Light, who has established a Western Paradise, in which those who die with deep faith, are reborn to wake up in a land of bliss, where suffering is unknown and all circumstances and conditions are conducive to the gaining of Enlightenment.

While the celestial Buddhas and their attendants dwell in the realm of forms or Rupadhatu, there is also the earthly or Kamadhatu realm of passions, desire and suffering. Here periodically a third body of the Buddha is born. It is called the Nirmanakaya Body of Transformation. The Nirmanakaya Buddha of our own period of world history was, of course, Sakyamuni Buddha, and while considered mortal and human in every respect by the early Buddhists and present day Theravadans, he is considered by those who subscribe to the Pure Land teachings as an apparition of Amitabha on earth

"Coz this is TheOther band." Wherever they went, crowds of Luminarys gathered to hear the Songs of Milarepa & "The Other Band.". "Singing the Dharma.
_______________________________
The Peace within inner-stillness, Disarming oneself, letting go of our our own negativity, our own agression.

"We are so many people at the same time."
Sogyal Rinpoche so profoundly states. "In one moment, in one breath we can be this angry person, negative and in the next we can be somebody quite wonderful. Choosing to be the chilled one, the wonderful being. Its a Choice, becoming real, becoming genuine, stripping away all that is unnatural, the natural striptease. Becoming free of our selves."
_______________________________
We appear to be always moving but underneath this appearance there is something that is always still, always blissfull, always unshakable. (Prajana)
These words may appear to change but really nothing has changed, all is and always has been quiet still. Aum-OM.
_______________________________
Breath, something we all share.

"Norbu Lingka is surrounded by gardens & Lakes consisted of several smallish buildings which were light and airy inside.

By contrast the Potala, which I could see towering magnificently above the city in the distance, was dark, cold and gloomy inside, by comparision the Norbu Lingka, flourishes with natural pleasures."

Inisght from The historical Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha & His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Middle-Way Marque.

INSIGHT from Shakyamuni Buddha.

"Don't look to me, but to the enlightened state."

"Monastics are instructed to be islands unto themselves."

INSIGHT from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

" One of the most powerful visions I have ever experienced was the first photgraph of the earth from outer space. The image of a blue planet floating in space, glowing like the full moon on a clear night, brought home powerfully to me the recognition that we are indeed all members of a single family sharing one little house.

"I always sat that people should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion. In fact it is thought that this practise has a far more profoundly powerful effect in the world as a whole"

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.


"This new concept ought to be elaborated alongside the religions, in such a way that all people of good will could adhere to it. We ought to promote this concept with the help of scientists. It could lead us to what we are looking for."

"What science finds to be nonexistent, we must accept as nonexcistent, but what science merely does not find is a completly different matter. ... It is quite clear that there are many, many, mysterious things."

"There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart. our own temples.This body is our temple; my philosophy is kindness."

"I think in our daily experience, daily life, when we develop strong emotions, then you can't see the reality we should practise using our Deitys represented in our thankas that make up our celestial gallery.

Emptiness should be understood in the context of dependent arising and it should invoke a sense of fullness, of things created by causes and conditions. We shouldn't think that self is something that is originally there and then eliminated in meditation; in fact, it is something that never existed in the first place.

INSIGHT from Mahatma Gandhi

"I want all the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be swept off my feet by any!"

"Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or corrupt. And a citizen who barters with such a state shares in its corruption and lawlessness. Every citizen is responsible for every act of his government. Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as cooperation with good."

Tantra Deity practices centers around special techniques for imagining a fully developed state of body & mind effectively helping others. It provides a way to restrain and thus transcend our limited perception of our bodies and minds so that we may percieve ourselves shining with morality, wisdom and compassion.
