Mark Om Mani Padme Hum.

OM MANI PADME HUM
By His Holiness the Dalai Lama It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast. The first, Om is composed of three letters, A, U, and M. These symbolize the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. Can impure body, speech, and mind be transformed i… Continue

Mark Prayer Flags

The Prayer Flag Tradition To me there are few things more beautiful than colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind- sometimes waving gently, sometimes raging; a dance of shadow and light. There is perhaps no simpler way to create good merit in this troubled world of ours than to put prayer flags up for the benefit of other living beings. Prayer flags are not just pretty pieces of colored cloth with funny writing on them. The ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols displayed on… Continue

Mark The Nyingma Tradition

The Nyingma Tradition [Guru Rinpoche] The Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism traces its origin to the Indian adept, Guru Padmasambhava, who 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 Rinpochey, as he is popularly known, bound all evil spirits by oath and transformed them into forces compatible with the spread of Buddhism. In collaboration with the great Bodhisattva Abbot Shantaraksh… Continue

The Prayer of Kuntuzangpo The Primordial Buddha Samantabhadra download PDF version Ho! Everything — appearance and existence, samsara and nirvana — Has a single Ground, yet two paths and two fruitions, And magically displays as Awareness or unawareness. Through Kuntuzangpo’s prayer, may all beings become Buddhas, Completely perfected in the abode of the Dharmadhatu. The Ground of all is uncompounded, And the self-arising Great Expanse, beyond expression, Has neither the name ‘samsara’ nor ‘ni… Continue

informal Insights from the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni & His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

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 (after) I saw the first photograph of the earth from outer space. The image of a blue planet floating in deep 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.

A Brief Intro to Buddhism. @ Cultural Resources, Chinese Language Program.
