  • The Preliminary Practice Called the Heart Essence of an Awakened Being
    The Preliminary Practice Called The Heart Essence of An Awakened Being Guru, think of me! Guru, think of me! Guru, think of me! I pay homage to the Three Jewels and the deities of the Three Roots; Guru, Yidam and Dakini. I deeply reflect on the difficulty of obtaining a human life; impermanence and death; the sufferings of cyclic existence and the consequences of Karma and its results. My Guru! Bless me so that I may have realization of these things. Homage to the Master! Until enlightenment, I and all sentient beings Take refuge in the Three Jewels. In order to assist all sentient beings in attaining Buddhahood, May I raise the Bodhicitta of aspiration and actualize the Paramitas. AH Seated upon the crown of my head, on a moon disc and lotus, I visualize the Guru as Vajrasattva and consort. A continuous stream of Amrita flows from the mantra at his heart And purifies all evil deeds and obscurations. (Recite the Hundred Syllable Mantra.)

  • VT Module6 Lineage Text Major Schools of Tibetan Buddhism
    THE MAJOR SCHOOLS OF TIBETAN BUDDHISM By Pema Khandro A BIRD’S EYE VIEW 1. NYINGMA LINEAGE a. Pema Khandro’s lineage. Literally means: ancient school or old school. Nyingmapas rely on the old tantras or the original interpretation of Tantra as it was given from Padmasambhava. b. Founded in 8th century by Padmasambhava, an Indian Yogi who synthesized the teachings of the Indian MahaSiddhas, the Buddhist Tantras, and Dzogchen. He gave this teaching (known as Vajrayana) in Tibet. c. Systemizes Buddhist philosophy and practice into 9 Yanas. The Inner Tantras (what Pema Khandro Rinpoche teaches primarily) are the last three. d. It is not a centralized hierarchy like the Sarma (new translation schools), which have a figure head similar to the Pope. Instead, the Nyingma tradition is de-centralized, with every Lama is the head of their own sangha. There are many different lineages within the Nyingma. e. A major characteristic of the Nyingma tradition is the emphasis in the Tibetan Yogi tradition – the Ngakpa tradition. However, once the Sarma translations set the tone for monasticism in Tibet, the Nyingmas also developed a monastic and institutionalized segment of the tradition. But many Nyingmas are Ngakpas or non-monastic practitioners. f. A major characteristic of the Nyingma tradition is that it is characterized by treasure revelations (gterma). These are visionary revelations of updated communications of the Vajrayana teachings. Ultimately treasure revelations are the same dharma principles but spoken in new ways, at new times and new places to new people. Because of these each treasure tradition is unique, this is the major reason behind the diversity within the Nyingma.

  • The Kayas / Bodies of a Buddha
    The Kayas / Bodies of a Buddha The original meaning of the Sanskrit word Kaya (Tibetan: sku/ku) is 'that which is accumulated'. In English Kaya is translated as 'body'. However, the Kayas of Buddhas do not literally refer only to the form aggregates of Buddhas but also to Buddhas themselves, to their various attributes, and so forth. There are different ways to categorize Kayas: 1. The category into five Kayas 2. The category into four Kayas 3. The category into three Kayas 4. The category into two Kayas 1. The category into five Kayas The category into five Kayas refers to: I. The Dharmakaya / Truth Body (chos sku / choe ku) II. The Svabhavakaya / Nature Body (ngo bo nyid sku / ngo wo nyi ku) III. The Jnanakaya / Wisdom Truth Body (ye shes chos sku / ye she choe ku) IV. The Sambhogakaya / Enjoyment Body (longs sku / long ku) V. The Nimanakaya / Emanation Body (sprul sku / truel ku) Here the basis of the category is Kaya, which means that Kaya is categorized or classified into the five Kayas. I. The Dharmakaya / Truth Body Kaya and Dharmakaya are synonymous. Whatever is a Kaya is necessarily a Dharmakaya and vice versa. The definition of a Dharmakaya is: a final Kaya that is attained in dependence on meditating on its attaining agents, the three exalted knowers. The three exalted knowers are: a) Knower of basis (the Arya paths in the continua of Hearers and Solitary Realizers) b) Knower of paths (the Arya paths in the continua of Buddhas and of Bodhisattvas who have reached the Mahayana path of seeing or the Mahayana path of meditation) c) Exalted knower of aspects (the Arya paths, that is, omniscient mental consciousnesses, in the continua of Buddhas) II.

SAKYA TRIZIN VISITS AMERICA In the Dehra Dun valley nestled between the Himalaya and Shiva- lik mountain ranges below the small Indian town of Rajpur, one finds a modest house surrounded by fruit trees. Here is the home of His Holi- ness Sakya Trizin, the crown-lama of the Sakya Order, His Consort, Damo Kushola, and their two sons, Ratna Vajra and Jnana Vajra.

  • The Significance of Aspiration of Samantabhadra Prayer (King of Prayers) Edited from a Dharma Lecture by Lama Choedak Rinpoche
    The Significance of Aspiration of Samantabhadra Prayer (King of Prayers) Edited from a Dharma Lecture by Lama Choedak Rinpoche Sakya Monastery, Seattle, WA July 3, 2012 Lama Choedak honored and rejoiced in the activities of the founding masters of the Sakya tradition. In particular he honored His Holiness Dagchen Rinpoche’s and the late Dezhung Tulku Rinpoche's vision and the prayers of the sangha bringing forth this beautiful monastery in the United States; and he also mentioned that in Seattle the University of Washington was an important center for Tibetan Studies for many years. Then he began his talk with an invocation to Manjushri, Bodhisattva of Wisdom. The following is an edited version of Lama Choedak’s extensive overview on Samantabhadra’s King of Prayers. The subject matter we have at hand is a very famous prayer, King of Prayers, and we will study it going verse by verse for you to get a gist of the significance of this prayer in order to increase your enthusiasm to do it regularly in the monastery as well as whenever you do your daily prayers. Foremost among the one hundred thousand sutric prayers, this prayer is King. Just like a king is leader of subjects, this prayer is regarded as chief among prayers. Samantabhadra is one of the eight bodhisattvas and Samantabhadra is associated with making offerings and dedicating all the offerings he made to multiply its benefit for sentient beings. So every time we conclude any prayer and teaching session, two or three verses from the King of Prayers often is amongst the dedication prayers.
