O Duldzin, King of the Dharma, I thank you for your kindness.
Your body is the synthesis of all Sangha Jewels,
Your speech is the synthesis of all Dharma Jewels,
And your mind is the synthesis of all Buddha Jewels.

Buddha Vajrapani

With regard to the qualities of scriptural knowledge and the skillful means to teach others, Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, and Vajrapani are unequalled among all the Bodhisattvas.

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Quote

During the meditation break, we try to recognize that whatever appears to our mind lacks true or inherent existence. In a dream, things appear vividly to the dreamer, but, when the dreamer awakes, he or she immediately realizes that the objects that appeared in the dream were just mental appearances that did not exist from their own side. We should view all phenomena in a similar way. Though they appear vividly to our mind, they lack inherent existence.

Happy Christmas Geshla

Since the principle causes of gaining a human rebirth are the practices of moral discipline, giving, and patience, we must have practiced these in the past. Who were the objects of these practices? Other living beings. Without them, we would not have been able to create the causes of a human rebirth. It is through their kindness that we have attained this precious human life, which is more meaningful than a whole universe full of jewels.

Have a happy Xmas.x.

Emanations

Bodhisattvas on the tenth ground have many emanations, and when they become Buddhas all their emanations become Buddhas and work for the benefit of all living beings.

Quote

Buddha Shakyamuni himself said:

 

Not to commit any evil action.

To accumulate a wealth of excellent virtue

And to tame our mind -

This is the teaching of the enlightened ones.

Upon the full realization of great compassion the thought will arise,

'I myself will undertake the task of liberating all beings from suffering; this is solely my duty and responsibility.'

Assuming personal responsibility for the release of all sentient beings in this way is called 'superior intention'.

 

NKT Lineage Guru Je Pabongka

 

"To my mind he was the most important Tibetan lama of all. I have had some success as a scholar, and as a lama I am somebody, but these things are not important. The only thing that matters to me is that I was a disciple of Pabongka Rinpoche" - Venerable Ribur Rinpoche

Effort

There are three types of effort:

armour like effort, which is a strong determination to succeed that we generate at the beginning of a virtuous action;

the effort of gathering virtuous Dharmas, which is the actual effort we apply when we strive to gain Dharma realizations;

and the effort of benefiting others, which is the effort we apply when we strive to benefit other living beings.

If we strive to attain higher realizations before we have mastered the basics, we must expect to become discouraged. We need to understand that even the highest realizations have small beginings, and learn to value the small experiences of Dharma that we have already attained.

Quote

Since Buddha is omniscient, knowing all past, present, and future phenomena simultaneously and directly, and since he has great compassion for all living beings without exception, there is no valid reason for developing disrespect towards his teachings. It is only due to ignorance that I sometimes disbelieve them.
