(By Tsem Rinpoche and Pastor David)

Praktik 35 Buddha Pengakuan adalah salah satu praktik pemurnian batin yang tertua dan telah diterapkan sejak masa Buddha Shakyamuni. Praktik ini sendiri memiliki asal mula dalam Sutra Mahayana Tiga Bukit Sempurna, yang dalam bahasa Sansekerta disebut sebagai Triskandhadharmasutra.

Khotbah ini asalnya disampaikan oleh Buddha Shakyamuni sendiri dan diajarkan dalam Ratnakutasutra, sebuah kumpulan teks kuno yang berisikan sutra-sutra Buddhis Mahayana. Dalam sebuah penjelasan oleh Nagarjuna, asal usul praktik ini dikatakan dapat ditelusuri sampai pada masa ke 35 murid Bodhisattva dari Buddha Shakyamuni, yang pada suatu saat semuanya terlibat dalam kematian putra dari seorang penjual bir. Menyesal, mereka mengakui kejatuhan moral mereka kepada penatua Upali, yang saat itu menjadi panutan sebagai seseorang yang menjunjung tinggi sumpah dan komitmen kebiaraannya. Mereka memohon pada beliau untuk menyampaikan pengakuan dosa mereka kepada Buddha Shakyamuni dan meminta diturunkan sebuah ajaran untuk memurnikan kesalahan mereka. Buddha Shakyamuni melihat bahwa ke 35 murid Bodhisattva sebenarnya tidak bersalah dalam kasus tersebut, tetapi untuk kepentingan praktisi di masa depan, beliau bersedia mengajarkan Triskandhadharmasutra sebagai sebuah cara untuk memurnikan kejatuhan para praktisi dalam kesalahan.

Salah satu contoh tokoh spiritual terkenal yang mempraktikkan ilmu 35 Buddha Pengakuan adalah Lama Tsongkhapa. Beliau dikenal luas pernah melakukan sebuah tapa purifikasi dimana beliau menjalani ritual 3,5 juta sembah sujud. Laku spiritual ini terdiri dari 100.000 kali sujud kepada setiap 35 Buddha pengakuan. Beliau melakukan tapa ini setelah menerima nasehat dari Manjushri dalam sebuah penglihatan, dengan tujuan untuk mengalami secara langsung persepsi kekosongan (sunyata). Karena proses tapa yang luar biasa intensif, beliau sampai meninggalkan bekas tubuh sucinya pada lantai gua pertapaan yang terkikis halus akibat semua sujud yang beliau lakukan. Hasilnya, ketika beliau mendekati selesainya tapa, beliau diberi penglihatan murni oleh ke 35 Buddha Pengakuan serta Buddha Maitreya yang penuh kemuliaan, sekaligus mengalami langsung kekosongan (sunyata).

 

Hukum Sebab Akibat

Meskipun karma seringkali dianggap sebagai ajaran Buddha yang utama, sang Buddha sendiri bukanlah pencipta doktrin karma. Beliau mengajarkan tentang karma, atau hukum sebab akibat, yang beliau simpulkan berdasarkan pengamatan pribadi, seperti halnya Isaac Newton yang menemukan hukum gravitasi dengan mencermati efek gravitasi pada sebuah apel yang jatuh dari pohonnya.

Bagi kebanyakan orang, efek karma dapat dirasakan dan dimengerti melalui “logika berbasis bukti” atau pengamatan berbasis nalar. Sebuah contoh sederhana dari logika semacam ini adalah ketika kita melihat asap membumbung tinggi dari kejauhan. Dari sini, kita bisa menyimpulkan bahwa ada sebuah kebakaran yang sedang terjadi, meski letaknya terlalu jauh bagi kita untuk melihatnya dengan mata sendiri. Sama halnya ketika kita melihat ketimpangan di dunia ini – bagaimana beberapa orang terlahir dalam kondisi miskin sementara yang lain bisa menikmati hidup mewah– dari sini pula kita bisa menyimpulkan bahwa ada faktor-faktor tertentu yang menghasilkan kondisi tersebut. Faktor yang dimaksud adalah karma. Keadaan hidup yang berbeda-beda yang kita terima saat lahir adalah hasil berbuahnya karma kita sendiri dari kehidupan-kehidupan lampau. Jika kita melihat hal ini secara obyektif, kita pasti bisa melihat bahwa logika di balik karma ini sangat kuat, dan bisa menjelaskan secara efektif mengapa kita menjalani berbagai macam hal sepanjang hidup.

35Buddhas-003

Bertolak belakang dengan anggapan kebanyakan orang, Buddha Shakyamuni tidak pernah menciptakan doktrin karma tetapi beliau menyadari keberadaan karma dan bagaimana cara kerjanya. Untuk membantu semua makhluk mengatasi penderitaan akibat karma, Buddha Shakyamuni mengajarkan Dharma yang merupakan metode untuk memurnikan karma negatif. Praktik 35 Buddha Pengakuan adalah satu cara yang efektif untuk melakukan hal tersebut.

Karma dalam bahasa Sansekerta berarti perbuatan atau buah dari tubuh, perkataan dan pikiran. Di sisi lain, akibat dari karma disebut sebagai vipaka matang atau jatuh temponya karma, yang selalu akan kembali kepada kita melalui hal-hal yang kita alami. Terdapat banyak faktor di balik setiap perbuatan kita yang menentukan konsekwensinya. Faktor yang terpenting dalam menentukan konsekwensi aksi kita adalah niat atau tujuan. Tujuan atau motivasi yang mendorong aksi kita adalah sebuah topik yang banyak dibicarakan dalam ajaran Buddhis. Jika kita mengerti akan hal ini, akan ada titik balik dimana kita bisa merubah hidup kita. Niat juga menentukan apakah tindakan kita menjadi sesuatu yang positif, negatif atau meningkatkan pahala yang diperlukan untuk pencapaian pencerahan kita.

Penting bagi kita untuk mengerti perbedaan antara karma dan pahala. Karma adalah tindakan kita sehari-hari yang bisa bersifat positif atau negatif, muncul dari kecenderungan kita untuk memikirkan diri sendiri dan didasarkan secara langsung atau tidak langsung akan asas manfaat. Akibatnya, karma buruk menjadi menumpuk tiada akhir, meski bisa pada akhirnya dihabiskan melalui praktik pemurnian. Di sisi lain, pahala adalah tindakan yang secara khusus didedikasikan dengan niat mulia dan untuk tujuan pencerahan.

Karena itu, hasil dari pahala tidak bisa dihabiskan dan akan membawa kita pada pencerahan sepenuhnya. Meskipun pahala tidak bisa habis, karma negatif dalam jumlah besar dapat mengaburkannya, sehingga sulit bagi kita untuk merasakan manfaatnya. Hal ini menunjukkan juga betapa pentingnya peran praktik pemurnian untuk mencegah pahala kita dari proses pengaburan.

Hal lain yang perlu diingat adalah bahwa hukum sebab akibat (karma-vipaka) terhubung erat dengan kehidupan kita di masa lampau dan masa depan. Akumulasi karma di setiap kehidupan kita sangat menentukan reinkarnasi kita (dikenal sebagai karma lompatan) dan kondisi hidup-hidup kita di masa yang akan datang (dikenal sebagai karma penggenapan). Jadi, kita bisa mengira-ngira sendiri tentang kehidupan-kehidupan lampau kita dengan melihat keadaan hidup kita saat ini dan hal-hal yang menarik perhatian kita. Sebagai contoh, kemiskinan adalah akibat langsung dari kekikiran dan memiliki kesehatan yang buruk di kehidupan sekarang adalah buah dari tindakan dalam kehidupan lampau yang membahayakan makhluk lain. Singkatnya, hasil karma selalu mirip dengan penyebabnya.

Karma juga memiliki efek kuat pada pikiran dan tingkah laku kita. Naasnya bagi kita, karma negatif cenderung menumpuk seiring berjalannya waktu, karena sifat manusia yang pada dasarnya senang memikirkan diri sendiri. Karena itu, manusia menderita berbagai penyakit psikologis dan mental; seperti bersikap agresif, tamak, terkena depresi dan lain lain. Hal semacam ini menghasilkan konflik dan ketidakpastian hidup yang makin meningkatkan rasa tidak puas dan ketidakbahagian kita. Sumber utama penderitaan dan rasa sakit manusia sebenarnya adalah pikiran dan sikap hidup kita sendiri. Jika kita meminimalisir faktor-faktor pikiran yang berbahaya bagi diri sendiri (seperti angan-angan atau harapan yang berlebihan dan penyakit mental), ketentraman batin, rasa puas dan bahagia akan muncul dengan sendirinya.

 

Praktik Pengakuan

Dalam Buddhisme, pengambilan sumpah merupakan sebuah praktik yang penting. Terdapat tiga macam sumpah utama sumpah Pratimoksha yang diambil seorang awam, biksu atau bikuni; sumpah Bodhisattva; dan sumpah Tantrik untuk mereka yang menjalani inisiasi tantra jenjang lebih tinggi. Sumpah-sumpah ini, dibarengi komitmen dan menahan diri untuk tidak melakukan perbuatan buruk, menjadi landasan sebuah praktik efektif yang membuahkan pencapaian spiritual.

Menepati komitmen dalam menjunjung tinggi sumpah kita adalah komponen yang mutlak dalam sebuah praktik. Karena itu penting bagi kita untuk memurnikan karma dan rekam jejak negatif yang kita akumulasi akibat dosa kita, yaitu melalui pengakuan dan janji untuk tidak mengulangi kesalahan yang sama. Dengan cara ini, kita meminimalisir atau menghilangkan sepenuhnya konsekwensi dari karma buruk kita. Komponen utama dari proses pemurnian adalah pengakuan. Tujuannya adalah membuka dan membeberkan pelanggaran yang telah dilakukan. Karena itu dalam bahasa Tibet, pengakuan disebut sebagai shakpa atau ‘membuka tabir sepenuhnya’. Dalam praktik Buddhis, menyembunyikan kesalahan menyebabkan proses purifikasi sulit terjadi, dan efek negatif dari kesalahan akan bergulir secara pasti. Jadi, mengakui kesalahan kita adalah inti dari pengakuan; kejujuran dan keterbukaan dalam segala situasi adalah intisari dari praktik Buddhis.

Supaya pengakuan kita dapat secara nyata memurnikan kesalahan kita, kita harus melakukannya sesuai dengan prinsip Empat Kekuatan Perlawanan. Kekuatan Perlawanan yang pertama adalah penyesalan. Kekuatan penyesalan menjadi aktif saat kita secara tulus melihat kesalahan kita dan menyadari bahwa akan ada konsekwensi negatif karenanya. Jika ini kita lakukan, kita akan penuh dengan rasa penyesalan. Kekuatan Perlawanan kedua adalah bergantung pada sosok pelindung, yang dalam hal ini adalah ke 35 Buddha Pengakuan. Setiap Buddha ini sepenuhnya tercerahkan dan karenanya setiap doa, sujud persembahan atau pengakuan yang kita haturkan akan membuahkan pemurnian dan akumulasi pahala.

Kekuatan Perlawanan ketiga adalah tekad untuk tidak mengulangi kesalahan. Ini akan terjadi setelah kita menyadari kesalahan kita dan bahwa hal itu menghasilkan konsekwensi buruk. Jadi, kita membulatkan tekad untuk tidak mengulangi kesalahan kita. Hal ini mengantar kita pada Kekuatan Perlawanan yang keempat dan terakhir, yaitu penerapan perbaikan atau langkah-langkah penangkal untuk memurnikan karma. Tindakan ini bukan penebusan yang buta untuk kesalahan-kesalahan kita, tetapi langkah perbaikan yang dilakukan melalui pengertian yang baik tentang hukum sebab akibat. Tujuannya mencegah kecenderungan negatif dari karma yang sedang dimurnikan.

Praktik sujud atau pembacaan Sutra Mahayana Tiga Bukit Sempurna memiliki komponen “langkah perbaikan” dan ‘perlindungan’, dan karenanya jika dilakukan dengan penyesalan yang tulus dan tekad bulat untuk tidak mengulangi bakal menjadi langkah penangkal yang kuat bagi karma negatif yang telah terakumulasi.

 

35 Buddha Pengakuan

Dalam edisi Tibet Sutra Mahayana Tiga Bukit Sempurna, epitet Dezhin Shegpa (Tathagata atau ‘Yang Telah Sirna’) ditambahkan sebagai gelar kehormatan sebelum nama-nama dari setiap 35 Buddha Pengakuan. Penyertaan ini diprakarsai oleh Je Tsongkhapa setelah mendapat sebuah penglihatan dimana ke 35 Buddha Pengakuan tampil tanpa kepala. Tapi saat menyapa mereka dengan gelar kehormatan ‘Dezhin Shegpa’ kepala-kepala mereka secara ajaib muncul. Sejak saat itu sebuah tradisi dimulai oleh Je Tsongkhapa untuk membaca nama-nama para Buddha dengan gelar kehormatan Dezhin Shegpa.

Praktik 35 Buddha Pengakuan seperti yang terdapat dalam Sutra Mahayana Tiga Bukit Sempurna adalah praktik pengakuan. Ada dua macam pengakuan – pengakuan besar dan kecil. Pengakuan besar adalah meditasi tentang ketidakkekalan segala sesuatu yang ada. Pengakuan kecil adalah penerapan Keempat Kuasa Perlawanan digabungkan dengan sujud dan atau praktik lainnya, dengan kesadaran bahwa apa yang kita sebut realitas sesungguhnya adalah sebuah ilusi.

Visualisasi

Meskipun terdapat beberapa cara untuk melakukan visualisasi 35 Buddha Pengakuan, semuanya terpusat pada Buddha Shakyamuni sebagai figur utama. Teknik visualisasi di bawah ini diajarkan oleh Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Anda memulainya dengan visualisasi sosok Buddha Shakyamuni berada sedikit di atas anda sebagai figur utama. Beliau duduk bersila dalam postur berlian (segitiga), pada sebuah tahta mutiara putih yang ditopang oleh gajah. Bayangkan Buddha Shakyamuni mengenakan jubah berwarna saffron yang biasa dipakai seorang biksu yang sudah ditahbiskan. Tangan kanan beliau menyentuh bumi dan tangan kiri memegang sebuah mangkuk sedekah penuh terisi dengan nektar kebijaksanaan. Dari jantung beliau, pancaran cahaya menyeruak keluar, 10 pancaran ke atas, 10 ke bawah, tujuh kearah kiri, dan tujuh lagi ke arah kanan. Pada titik terminasi setiap pancaran, terbentuk sebuah tahta mutiara putih yang ditopang oleh gajah.

Mutiara putih menyimbolkan proses pemurnian penuh dari perbuatan buruk kita. Di sisi lain, gajah yang menopang tahta adalah hewan yang paling kuat dan melambangkan pemurnian besar-besaran akan segala sesuatu yang bersifat negatif. Duduk pada setiap tahta adalah sosok Buddha dengan gerakan tangan masing-masing dan dari setiap Buddha suci, cahaya terang nektar bersinar dan memurnikan tubuh, perkataan dan pikiran anda dari berbagai karma buruk sebagaimana terang menyingkirkan gelap. Setelah berhasil memvisualisisasi ke 35 Buddha Pengakuan seperti ini, sujudlah sebanyak tiga kali sambil membaca mantra di bawah ini:

OM NAMO MANJUSHRIYE
NAMO SUSRIYE
NAMO UTTAMASRIYE SVAHA

Mantra ini akan meningkatkan manfaat sujud anda secara signifikan. Setelah itu anda bisa mulai membaca Sutra Mahayana Sutra Tiga Bukit Sempurna dibarengi gerakan sujud. Jika anda belum hafal seluruh isi sutra, anda bisa membacanya sekali, disusul bersujud dan mengulang semua nama ke 35 Buddha Pengakuan. Setelah selesai sujud, anda bisa mengulangi pembacaan sutra.

Proses pemurnian karma buruk ini efektif terutama jika dilakukan pagi hari dan sebelum tidur di malam hari. Metode ini menjadi cara yang paling manjur untuk membuat hidup kita lebih berarti melalui praktik pemurnian batin paling tinggi ini. Dengan berbekal praktik ini, kita dapat memurnikan karma buruk dalam jumlah besar tanpa harus menanggung akibatnya, atau paling tidak mengurangi konsekwensinya, di samping mengumpulkan pahala yang pada gilirannya akan membantu kita mencapai kemajuan spiritual. Oleh sebab itu, nilai dari praktik ini lebih mahal daripada harta benda duniawi.

 

Sutra Mahayana Tiga Bukit Sempurna

Kita dapat menggabungkan pembacaan mantra berikut dengan mantra Perlindungan, Menciptakan Bodhichitta, Guru Yoga Lama Tsongkhapa dan ayat-ayat persembahan teh serta mantra untuk mengundang Pelindung Dharma Dorje Shugden juga tak lupa pembacaan Dedikasi Umum di bagian akhir.

Dalam kehidupan ini dan semua kehidupan saya sejak waktu tanpa permulaan dimulai, di semua tempat kelahiranku kembali saat mengembara di Samsara, saya telah berbuat buruk, telah menyuruh orang melakukannya, dan telah bersuka cita saat perbuatan tercela itu sudah dilakukan. Saya telah mencuri barang yang seharusnya menjadi persembahan, barang milik Sangha, dan milik berbagai Sangha di sepuluh penjuru, telah menyuruh orang untuk mencurinya, dan bersukacita ketika pencurian itu terjadi. Saya bersalah akan lima tindakan keji, telah menyuruh orang melakukannya, dan bersukacita ketika tindakan-tindakan tersebut dijalankan. Saya telah menapaki jalan menuju sepuluh tindakan tidak terpuji, telah menyuruh orang untuk melakukannya, dan telah bersuka cita ketika mereka melakukannya.

Dengan beban karma seperti itu, saya bakal jadi penghuni neraka, atau saya akan terlahir sebagai hewan, atau saya akan dikirim ke alam hantu-hantu lapar, atau saya akan terlahir sebagai seorang barbar di sebuah negeri tanpa agama, atau saya akan terlahir sebagai dewa dengan umur panjang, atau saya akan tidak mempunyai indera yang lengkap, atau saya akan memiliki pandangan yang salah, atau saya akan tidak memiliki kesempatan menyenangkan sosok Buddha.

Semua halangan karma saya beberkan di depan para Buddha, Sang Terberkati, yang telah menjadi kebenaran, yang melihat dengan secara bijaksana. Saya mengaku tanpa menyembunyikan apapun, dan mulai hari ini akan menghindari melakukan tindakan-tindakan buruk.

Bagi semua Buddha, Sang Terberkati, mohon dengarkan saya.

Dalam kehidupan ini dan semua kehidupan saya sejak waktu tanpa permulaan dimulai,di semua tempat kelahiranku kembali saat mengembara di Samsara, apapun akar mula kebajikan saya dalam memberi pada yang lain, bahkan ketika saya memberi sepotong makanan kepada makhluk yang terlahir sebagai hewan;
Apapun akar mula kebajikan saya dalam membina disiplin moral;
Apapun akar mula kebajikan saya dalam tindakan yang membantu pembebasan besar;
Apapun akar mula kebajikan saya dalam peran saya membantu makhluk sadar lain menjadi matang;
Apapun akar mula kebajikan saya dalam menciptakan pikiran agung berdasarkan Pencerahan;

Apapun akar mula kebajikan saya dalam merealisasikan kebijaksanaan tertinggi; semuanya ini terkumpul, terbina dan terjalin bersama, melalui dedikasi kepada yang tak tertandingi, kepada puncak tertinggi, kepada dia yang lebih tinggi daripada tinggi, kepada ia yang melampaui sang tak terlampaui,

Saya berdedikasi secara penuh kepada yang pecerahan yang tak terlampaui, sempurna seutuhnya.
Seperti halnya para Buddha, Sang Terberkati pada masa lampau, telah mendedikasikan secara utuh, seperti halnya para Buddha, Sang Terberkati yang akan datang, akan mendedikasikan secara utuh, dan seperti halnya para Buddha, Sang terberkati yang hidup kini, mendedikasikan secara utuh, saya juga berdedikasi secara utuh.

Saya mengakui semua perbuatan buruk saya satu persatu. Saya bersuka cita dengan adanya pahala. Saya memohon dan meminta semua Buddha.

Ijinkan saya menggapai kebijaksanaan suci, tertinggi, tak terlampaui dan agung adanya.
Siapapun Para Penakluk, makhluk-makhluk tertinggi yang ada kini, mereka pada masa lampau, dan juga mereka yang akan datang, dengan selautan penuh pujian untuk semua atribut baikMu, dengan telapak tangan saya merapat, saya mendekat memohon perlindunganMu.

Selesailah sudah Sutra Mahayana Sutra berjudul “Sutra Tiga Bukit Sempurna”.

 

Kesimpulan

Praktik 35 Buddha Pengakuan adalah salah satu bentuk metode purifikasi yang paling populer dan bisa dilakukan kapan saja. Praktik ini diajarkan oleh berbagai tokoh spiritual besar seperti Lama Tsongkhapa, yang melakukan sendiri tapa sujud kepada ke 35 Buddha Pengakuan untuk memurnikan diri dan mendapatkan pengetahuan mendalam. Praktik 35 Buddha Pengakuan diakui sebagai salah satu bentuk pemurnian yang paling manjur bagi praktisi awam (non-tantra).

Supaya praktik 35 Buddha Pengakuan efektif, harus dilakukan dengan Empat Kekuatan Perlawanan bebarengan dengan visualisasi. Ketika dipraktikkan bersama Empat Kekuatan Perlawanan, anda tidak sekedar memurnikan penampakan luar dari perbuatan-perbuatan buruk anda, tapi akar masalahnya sendiri, yaitu pikiran yang mementingkan diri sendiri. Pikiran egois inilah yang memicu persoalan-persoalan kita. Karena itu, 35 Buddha Pengakuan menjadi sebuah praktik yang tepat untuk meminimalisir efek permasalahan batin seperti ketidaktahuan, rasa benci dan keinginan yang berlebihan, sehingga pencapaian spiritual dapat kita raih dengan lebih mudah.

Akhir kata, 100.000 sujud sembah kepada ke 35 Buddha Pengakuan adalah salah satu praktik awal (ngondro) dalam menyiapkan diri untuk menerima inisiasi tinggi aliran tantra. Praktik ini bertujuan untuk memurnikan karma buruk sebanyak mungkin dan juga mengumpulkan sebanyak mungkin pahala, sehingga ketika kita dinilai pantas untuk menerima inisiasi tinggi tantra seperti Vajrayogini, pencapaian dapat diraih dengan cepat.

    A Chinese ghost marriage is a ceremony that unites a deceased person with a living or deceased person. The family of the deceased usually arranges the marriage. Despite its long history and unique practices, the original purposes of ghost marriages remain largely unknown. The ghost is a classical image in Chinese culture, have a history stretching back 3,000 years. This tradition dates back to the first Chinese dynasty, making it at least 2200 years old, while others even note that it’s roughly 3000 years old! Despite reports of it still being practiced in remote Chinese villages in China,Taiwan and certain Asian countries . Ghost marriages are acceptable and symbolic in especially in Taiwanese culture, with many social elements related to them. Interestingly enough Li Kim and team did a great research ,spoke to Professor Lin Mao-Hsien, a Taiwanese folklore scholar on these interesting tradition. Reading this article with a better understanding of the ghost marriages. The story of the man by the name Wu Wen-Da, who had been dreaming about a dead woman named Zheng Su Mei truly interesting.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim .

    Interesting account of the investigation of Supiyati an Indonesian woman’s body filled with needles, nails, and wires.
    After many efforts to find a cure in their hometown never found any success, Dark Magic is an incredibly powerful form of witchcraft that draws on malevolent powers.Black magic is a belief system that is not supported by scientific evidence. However, psychologists and neuroscientists have studied magic to understand how it affects people’s perceptions and beliefs. Regardless of the path forward, the study and understanding of black magic will undoubtedly remain a subject of enduring fascination and scholarly inquiry.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The basis of the Buddha’s teaching is to be found in the Four Noble Truths. The Buddha teachings describe the nature of suffering and the path to its end. Suffering is unavoidable and affects everyone. Craving and ignorance lead to suffering. Whatever we do have consequences, so living in a way that minimizes harm can prevent future pain. Good to cultivate good qualities and abandoning non-virtuous thoughts and actions. Abandoning dishonest livelihood and living a life of right livelihood. Being kind and compassionate towards oneself and others. The Fourth Noble Truth is the truth of the Path that leads to the cessation of suffering.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Genla for this profound teachings.

    The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. Part of being successful is about asking questions and listening to the answers. Asking questions is the first way to begin change. Knowledge shared is knowledge squared. A great way to learn by reading and asking various enlightened aspects of Tsongkapa. I am still learning even I have revisit this blog on and off. Still trying to remember names of great lamas.

    All thanks to our Guru that we are given a chance to get connected to the Sublime Queen, Vajra Yogini and collect merits along the way. The idea of making real gold-paint offerings to Vajra Yogini in KFR is indeed awesome for everyone. In Buddhism, symbolic offerings are made to the Triple Gem, giving rise to contemplative gratitude and inspiration. Making offerings to the Buddhas are acts of generosity and therefore highly meritorious.

    ndia is a land of diverse cultures, traditions, and spiritual practices. They allow religious freedom among its most enigmatic and intriguing spiritual sects are the Aghoris, a group of ascetics who are often surrounded by mystery, fear, and fascination. But the Tibetan leadership creates religious differences leading to discrimination, violence, hatred and bias against Shugden practitioners. Everyone has their rights to choose and practice whatever they want. The ban of Dorje Shugden is therefore unnecessary and illogical . In recent years religious freedom has improves.
    Interesting blog of a sect of ascetic sadhus who practice a unique and extreme form of Hinduism. They are the only surviving sect of the Kapalika tradition, a Tantric form of Shaivism originated in Medieval India. The Aghoris are a fascinating and mysterious group of Hindu ascetics, who have a distinct and radical approach to spirituality. They are known for their bizarre and unconventional rituals. They live in cremation grounds, smearing ashes on their bodies, using human skulls as utensils, and eating flesh from human corpses. Aghoris are Hindu devotees of Shiva the god of destruction and transformation, and they seek to attain liberation from the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. They see themselves as healers, both of the body and the soul. Many believe that their intense penance and devotion give them extraordinary powers.They engage in practices that challenge conventional ideas of purity, such as meditating in cremation grounds, consuming what others deem inedible, and embracing what society often shuns.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    Saying thank you and showing our gratitude with a handwritten message can make all the difference in our life.At times, when our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has reason to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. None of us who achieves success without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge is this help with gratitude. Let us rise up and be thankful. Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.Its gratitude that helps us to grow and expand .

    Wangze is one of Dorje Shugden’s emanations and is the most powerful deity to propitiate in order to assist us when we are facing difficult situations with difficult people and positive influence on others. Wangze’s practice can cultivate energies of power, influence, and the ability to positively influence others. Practising this practice with knowledge and understanding we may gain a firm footing on the spiritual path bringing benefit to their lives.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    7 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
