  • The Meaning of the Short Chenrezig Mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum
    Kopan Monastery Prayers and Practices Downloaded from www.kopanmonastery.com The Meaning Of The Short Chenrezig Mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum MANI is method, PADME is wisdom; so MANI PADME is method-wisdom. Buddha revealed the lesser vehicle teachings, the Mahayana paramitayana teachings and the mahayana vajrayana teachings. There is method-wisdom in the lesser vehicle teachings, method-wisdom in the mahayana paramitayana teachings and method-wisdom in the mahayana Vajrayana teachings. So MANI PADME contains everything: the hinayana lesser vehicle teachings of method-wisdom, the mahayana paramitayana method-wisdom and the mahayana vajrayana method-wisdom. By practising method-wisdom together, as signified by MANI PADME, one purifies the stains of body, speech and mind. This is signified by the OM - A U MA - these three sounds integrate to make OM, which signifies the vajra holy body, holy speech and holy mind of Buddha. By practising the method-wisdom signified by MANI PADME together, one purifies one's own ordinary body, speech and mind and they become inseparable from Buddha's vajra holy body, holy speech and holy mind. So the OM - AH U MA - signifies the three vajras. Then, MANI PADME also signifies the mahaanuttarayoga tantra path. What I explained before is general. Now, more specifically, by depending on the path of the generation stage, which is the method of the profound secret mantra that ripens the mind, and on the completion stage, which liberates the mind, you can cease the circle of suffering, the base-time ordinary birth, death and intermediate state; actualize the path-time dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, nirmanakaya; and achieve the result-time dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, nirmanakaya.

  • Reinos Budistas Y Montañas Salida Especial En Grupo
    NEPAL, BUTÁN Y TÍBET Reinos Budistas y Montañas Salida especial en grupo El reino del Nepal es un pequeño país enclavado en las faldas de las montañas más altas del mundo, de fisonomía alargada y poca anchura. Es un país donde abundan los lagos y cascadas, las llanuras y los valles fértiles, las nieves eternas de sus montañas y la jungla con fauna y flora de variadas especies. La vertiginosa altitud de los Himalayas y el recogimiento espiritual de sus gentes han condicionado para que este país sea todavía desconocido para muchos, aunque de gran atractivo para montañeros y gentes de todo el mundo en busca de paz. Bután es un país fascinante, sus paisajes se suceden como las imágenes de un calidoscopio. 1 Tiene exuberantes junglas tropicales al Sur, y al Norte la región de los Himalayas con sus nieves eternas. Encajonado entre India y China, este país ha conservado intacta su herencia del budismo y su población vive en armonía, en una unión mística entre el mundo real y el sobrenatural. El Tíbet, denominado "El Techo del Mundo", es una importante región histórica de Asia políticamente incluida en China. Sus peculiaridades derivan de su particular situación geográfica y de una población muy diferente al del resto de China. Entre risco y risco resuenan las palabras de Nyima Tsering: “Solo la armonía entre el cielo, la tierra y el hombre puede salvar el planeta. El paraíso no está en el cielo, como dicen los cristianos, sino en la tierra, y depende del desarrollo espiritual del hombre y de su esfuerzo por cuidar el medio ambiente”.

On the other hand, pilgrimage phenomena are thriving in the twenty-first century, as they become both more globalised and more particularised. This paper shows that drawing oppositions between pilgrimage and tourism assumes an exclusive, dichotomous view that is misleading. Instead, I insist on an understanding of the reciprocal influence between religion and tourism in which neither of the two spheres subjects itself to the other.
