Omniscient Longchenpa said: tired mind from the beginning still now relax in the nature of mind. Well listening to the spiritual ancient science Buddhist teaching benefit for samsara tired mind.
This prayer composed by H.H.Trulshik Rinpoche when H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche passed away, perfectly described the aspirations of students who have been separated from their teachers by the impermanence of all things and all beings: “Although my eyes no longer see your body, the mere sight of which is liberating, bless me so that all appearances manifest themselves as your body.
Although my ears no longer hear your voice, the very sound of which is liberating, bless me so that all sounds manifest themselves as your voice. Although my thoughts are no longer directly linked to your mind, the very memory of which is liberating, bless me so that all thoughts manifest themselves as your awakened mind.” May all beings benefit from this profound path of instruction. May joy and contentment spread to the ends of space.
To meditate according to absolute truth, arouse in yourself an overwhelming feeling of desire. Fuel it by adding the desires of all beings to make a great mountain of desire.
Then look right into it.
You will see that desire is nothing but thoughts. It appears in your mind but does not itself have even the tiniest particle of independent existence. And when you turn the mind inward to look at itself, you become aware that the mind too is without any inherent existence in either past, present or future. The nature of the mind is as insubstantial as the sky. (Teaching from H.H. Trulshik Rinpoche).
Praying to all enlightened Buddhas with devotion and to pay respect. Also praying for all sentient beings with love and compassion. May all being well and safe. What is
Buddhist devotion means? Buddhist devotion is not meant to be a blind devotion that needs to be adopted without question. And it should be truly arising from the inner mind and with advantage.
All of the holy texts state that a teacher must be examined and that if in your process of examination you find he is a true and authentic master, that he teaches the Buddha’s wisdom and brings benefit to beings, then devotion will naturally increasing from that realization.
As an example buddha said learn buddha teaching by burning gold, cut and rubbed. Examine my words carefully, do not accept blindly and not simply out of respect. Really knowing dharma teaching you should believe, trust and follow Buddha teaching. If you practice seriously will get good result in your inner mind.
I have shown you the methods that lead to liberation, but you should know that liberation depends upon yourself.
Shantideva said, “This free and well favored human form is difficult to obtain.
Now that you have the chance to realize the full human potential, if you don’t make good use of this opportunity, how could you possibly expect to have such a chance again? “I’m just grateful to have this precious human body.”
If you follow your ego, you will learn nothing. If you follow your teacher, you will learn everything. Enjoy everything, accept everything and appreciate everything.
Learn how to respect the authentic Buddhist guru. What is truly realization of the individual mind is to be for the benefit of receiving the lineage blessing.
Those explanations are very important and you need to know them. One sutra said before a lama appeared, there was not even the name of Buddha. Even all of the one thousand buddhas of this eon became enlightened by relying on a Lama.
So it is said. If one relies on an individual who appears to be a Lama and seems to be teaching Dharma yet who enjoys worldly stimulation, logic and controversy, Buddha hood will not be obtained. One must meet a Lama who has completely perfected the qualities of enlightened wisdom mind, who is capable of directly introducing one to the nature of mind,
which is completely omniscient Buddha, pure from the beginning, by removing the temporary film of obscurations. Then, first, in the beginning, it is said that one must be skillful in knowing how to examine a Lama. It is mentioned in all the sutras, trantras and shastras that it is absolutely necessary first to find a Lama who has all positive characteristics and then to rely on this Lama.
In one way, however, if the student who is examining a Lama has not trained extensively by hearing and contemplating the teachings or if the student has some training but has developed arrogance so that no qualities can penetrate, like water being poured over an iron ball, then the meaning of what is heard is of no benefit to the mind and become another cause for increasing negative habit.
However long it takes a logician to examine through conceptualizing. That is how long it will take to receive accomplishment. There is how it is. If the character of the student is like that, then it is as the monk. Sunashaktra” said to the Buddha. I have remained in your company as your attendant for twenty four years. Other than the fathom of light surrounding your body.
I have not seen even a sesame seeds worth of qualities. Although lacking this fathom of light, I find myself to be more learned in Dharma than you are. Since we are therefore equal,
I will serve you no more. Speaking in this way, he abandoned the Buddha. Likewise, however much a disciple examines a teacher, that much fault can be seen, and then blessings will not be received. Thus it is explained.
Therefore, If one is learned in the actual meaning of emptiness, that learned one is close to attaining accomplishment.
Thus, this indicates that it is best to decide on this and stay firm with that decision. Otherwise: Although one may be uneducated, if one’s faith is firm and one is engaged in approaching the path of enlightenment, That kind of person is close to connecting to siddhi. The meaning of this is that one should not just examine one’s Lama but should rely solely on faith and pure view. If so, this will be beneficial in not delaying the accomplishment of Dharma. If one thinks. “How can I know how this Buddha nature blossoms”. It is as said in Chandrakriti. Although it is still the time of being an ordinary person, having heard of the nature of emptiness, Extreme joy arises again and again from deep within.
From this extreme joy, the eyes are wet with tears and the hair in the pores stands on end. Whoever is like this, that person has the seed of Buddha hood. That person is an actual suitable vessel, and to that person, the truth of the holy meaning should be shown. (This teaching is from book of Cascading Waterfall of Nectar by Dungsey Thinley Rinpoche).
All the great blessing and power of this wisdom realization depends on the extraordinary faith, respect and devotion of seeing the guru as an actual Buddha. The quality of the realization depends on the level of faith, respect and devotion. The highest level brings the best realization. A middle degree of faith, respect and devotion brings about a middle realization. A lesser degree of faith, respect and devotion brings about a lesser realization.
Seeing the guru as an ordinary person a little better than yourself, thinking that his understanding is somewhat higher than your own but that he does not have any of the qualities of a Buddha, leads to only a low level of realization. It is said that if you see the guru as an ordinary person, the achievement will not be greater than a dog’s possible achievement.
For this reason, it doesn’t matter whether the guru himself is a Buddha or not, whether he is a noble bodhisattva or not and whether he is an ordinary person or not. He shows us the kindness of teaching what behavior to abandon and what behavior to adopt. What is virtue and what is non-virtue, so that we learn many Dharma teachings that we did not know before and are able to practice correctly. Until now we have been wandering in beginning less samsara and suffering greatly. Although we may not practice perfectly, we are practicing and on the path of virtue.
Those who know nothing of the Dharma have no concern even about killing sentient beings but those who hear the Dharma know that we should not kill. This awareness itself carries great merit. (Teaching from Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche).
A future prophecy is coming from Dudjom Lingpa. Nowadays five hundred degenerate age time impurities are split here. The whole human mind-streams are soaked by the influence of demons. Superficial person, people think like accomplishment of worship. A person with inappropriate behavior is honored as a Yogi.
Those who deceive others are considered as Lama. The rude man will be praised as a scholar. Those who break the secrets of spiritual past are considered powerful. Those with fraudulent skills are known as the best person. Experienced spiritual practitioners are often called beggars.
Those who follow karma (reasons and consequences well) will be called fools. Everyone honest will be labeled as dishonest.Those who believe in the secrets of the spiritual will say they don’t know the spiritual path. They will do the negative things even though the arrival of Shri Buddha, which has no benefit to lead the spiritual path.
Milk mixed with water will lose the nutrition. Advice mixed with a lie will lose the trust. A leader with more bias (partiality) will lose the respect. A dharma linked with politics will lose the blessing.
The eighth century Bodhisattva, Shantideva said “All the joy the world contains has come through wishing happiness for others. All the misery the world contains has come through wanting pleasure for oneself. Is there need for lengthy explanation? Childish beings look out for themselves; Buddhas labor for the good of others; see the difference that divides them!”
“For beings long to free themselves from misery, but misery itself they follow and pursue. They long for joy, but in their ignorance destroy it, as they would their foe.”
Eight worldly concerns know the world are Gain and loss, pleasure and pain, kind and abusive words, praise and blame. Sin respectable people do not take them seriously, exercise equanimity.
Ten Virtues or Ten non Virtues Three good actions of body: 1. Not destroying life 2. Not taking what has not been given to you 3. Refraining from improper sexual practices. Four good actions of Speech: 4. Not telling falsehoods 5. Not using abusive language 6. Not slandering others 7.Not indulging in irrelevant talk. Three good actions of mind: 8. Not being covetous 9. Not being malicious 10. Not holding destructive beliefs. This is the main Buddhist discipline. If learning Buddhist teaching it is like our momentary and future life. Also like google map or gps which shows your direction. Non believer people they do not know.
If the intention is good, the levels and paths are good. If the intention is bad, the levels and paths are bad, Since everything depends on intentions, Always make sure they are positive.
Jetsun Mila sang: No-one to ask me if I’m sick, No-one to mourn me when I die: To die here alone in this hermitage Is everything a yogi could wish for. No trace of feet outside my door No trace of blood within To die here alone in this hermitage Is everything a yogi could wish for. They soon to start to believe it themselves, and think of themselves as being very important and no longer in need of these things. But, as the peerless Dagpo Rinopoche said,
Jigme Linpa said: No intelligence, no power, No wealth or strength can help, Someone without diligence, He is like a boatman whose boat, Has everything but oars. You will never be able to practice, it is said to meditate without being studied Is like climbing a rock when you have no arms. the most important six principles monasteries Buddha has a pure perception because phonema is perfect without contradiction. Dharma practitioner has pure perception and impure perception. Pure perception is when doing practice, learning from Buddha teachings and having a pure vision – pure thinking. Ordinary beings have totally impure perception. Everything is suffering, complicated, contradicting, negative and impure thinking. Whenever you are happy do not make promise. When you are in bad mood time do not make decision because if do it will be in wrong decision and becoming more complicated situation. Let we know.
