Wisdom Publications MA. Faith in Nyingma Buddhist Dharma - Wikipedia Tantric techniques :. In the Nyingma Tibetan Buddhist Dharma teachings [1] faith's essence is to make one's being, and perfect dharmainseparable. The etymology is the aspiration to achieve one's goal. Faith's virtues are like a fertile field, a wishing gem, a king who Becoming the Compassion Buddha: Tantric Mahamudra for Everyday Life the law, someone who holds the carefulness stronghold, a boat on a great river and an escort in a dangerous place. According to Chogyam Trungpa tofaith means "accepting what is there" or "accepting what has been taught" unselfishly. It is the first step opening the refuge gateway to the three jewels of faith: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. It is also the first of the seven noble signs of wealth faith with the six perfections. Having the ability to turn to the Dharma is the advantage of faith, among the five individual advantages. While lacking faith is one of the six stains [19] in which the antidotes are the kinds of faith. Faith is a jewel that comes before all else blossoming in the heart's center. It is the essence of the Three Roots outer support power and it is Dharma's root. I am present in front of anyone who has faith in me, just as the moon casts its reflection, effortlessly, in any vessel filled with water. What is faith? It is trust, longing, and clarity regarding the cause and result, truths and the Three Jewels. There are seven parts to developing faith according to Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje 's preliminary practices of the Profound and Secret Heart Essence of the Dakini. Its nature is a clear, untroubled mind, discriminating and aware of what should be adopted and avoided. Cultivating firm faith through meditation on impermanenceand devotion to a teacher can lead to positive signs. It gives protection and clears away sufferings of cyclic existence as it is the first step on the path to liberation when aroused intensely with the determination to be free. According to the Nyingma school's Choying Tobden Dorje —the ennobling positive six forms of faith are: [35]. Inspired faith is a sublime quality, indestructible, indomitable and an inexhaustible treasure of good qualities. People who have immutable faith in the three jewels are extremely rare and exalted, as the Sutra of the Precious Lamp points out its characteristics: [36]. Faith gives birth to delight in the Buddha's Teaching, Faith points the way to the city of happiness and excellence, Faith banishes lack of opportunity, it is the best of all freedoms. Faith turns one from the path of demons, Faith is what makes one attain Buddhahood. Among the hosts of ordinary beings, Rare are those who have such faith in the Dharma. Unless we have faith, however many other good qualities we might have, they will not be of much use to us - as though we were very beautiful, but blind. So we have to make an effort to develop faith - by meditating on impermanence four times a day; by reflecting minutely on actions and their effects; by reflecting on the positive aspects of everything; by reflecting on how rare the Dharma is; by thinking of our teacher's kindness; by thinking of the excellent qualities of the Buddha. It is important to consider that other people - all of them - marvelous, and to be free of partiality and notions of high or low status, thus making a habit of faith and taming your own mind. Faith is like a wheel, always ready to roll along the road; if you have it, you can make internal progress at any time. Faith is an inexhaustible treasure of good qualities. It is a vehicle carrying you along the path to omniscience, and outstretched hand drawing you to all good qualities. The extent to which spiritual qualities can be internalized depends on faith. Reflective wisdom in Buddhism says beliefs should not be accepted with blind faith. Such means to consider the evidence of things, and irrefutable proof upon reflection on the intended meaning, so that a conclusion may arrive. Reflecting on the Dharma's and the teacher's good qualities can remedy lack of faith. Gyatrul Rinpoche b. Also, both the common and uncommon siddhis arise. He conveys the importance of faith for qualifying disciples who "listen" to the Dharma. Those without faith who are completely involved in the eight mundane Becoming the Compassion Buddha: Tantric Mahamudra for Everyday Life [50] are not suitable vessels, and they should not be taught these kinds of Dharma. Believing that the teacher knows best and arousing sublime bodhichitta is part of the inner power Becoming the Compassion Buddha: Tantric Mahamudra for Everyday Life support - faith, taking refuge and arousing bodhicitta - within the extraordinary or inner preliminaries of the Longchen Nyingthig Ngondro. Many factors may instill genuine faith, among these, four crucial circumstances are: 1 an authentic spiritual master attendance, 2 wholesome friends, 3 the three jewels and 4 reflection on existence's round of misery, according to Jigme Lingpa. It is easier Becoming the Compassion Buddha: Tantric Mahamudra for Everyday Life have faith in religious instruction when it has a sense of the sacred. Without faith in an afterlifepeople may live lives deprived of ultimate meaning. Enduring faith in the vinaya and the three baskets of the lamrim. Rongzom Chokyi Zangpo states unequivocally that the Great Perfection can be penetrated with faith alone when being shown the nature of mind itself awakening i. When the Buddha taught, he always began by introducing the wheel of faithwhich opens the way to the Dharma, like the precious wheel of a universal ruler 's power.

  • 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.

Deze drie paden zijn vrij toegankelijk voor iedereen die eraan mee wil doen en meedoen verplicht tot niets. Velen van buiten de Nalandabodhi sangha hebben aan deze paden meegedaan voor het ontwikkelen van meer inzicht in de beoefeningen en de theorie van het boeddhisme. Het driejarig pad van studie, het tweejarig pad van beoefening en het éénjarig pad van mindful activity zijn wel verplicht voor die mensen die zich (later) willen verbinden aan de traditie van Nalandabodhi en op dat pad verder willen gaan. De beide paden zijn in die context te beschouwen als oriëntaties op de boeddhistische visie en meditatie van Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, zodat mensen bewust hun keuzes kunnen maken of ze daar deel van willen (gaan) uitmaken. Tweejarig pad van beoefening Het tweejarig pad van beoefening bestaat uit vier onderdelen, namelijk de beoefening van shamatha (I), de beoefening van vipashyana (II), de beoefening van de geest-trainingen (III) en overige beoefeningen (IV). Alle beoefeningen vragen training (uren) om die je enigszins eigen te maken. Als er staat: 2 of 9 maanden wordt bedoeld: 2 maanden of 9 maanden lang één uur per dag beoefenen.

  • 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.

(being a sadhana called . ) LIMITLESSLY BENEFITTING BEINGS - by the Yogi, Thang-tong gyalpo (ཐང་ས罼ང་རྒྱལ་པ罼) (with selected notes from the textual commentary of H. H. Karmapa XV.) How to take up the practices of meditation and recitation of the SADHANA "Limitlessly Benefitting Beings”, which was written by the Lord of Siddhas, T'ang-tong Gyalpo, is taught under six headings: - 1. The preliminaries of taking refuge and developing Bodhicitta. 2. The actual practice, i.e. meditation upon the deity. 3. Recitation of the mantra. 4. Taking the post-meditational period as the path. 5. Dedicating the root of merits. 6. The benefits and excellences (of the practice). 1. THE PRELIMINARIES OF TAKING REFUGE AND DEVELOPING BODHICITTA. a) Taking Refuge: (notes) - In the space before one, amidst rainbows, flowers, and vast clouds, sits one's most kind root Guru, who is inseparably one with Arya Chenrezi and who is the foundation of the Lama, the Yidam and the Buddhas. In nature, he is the synthesis of all Enlightened. Beings. One is sitting in his immediate presence,, as are one's friends, enemies and all other living beings of the Six Realms. One should consider that because Lama Chenrezi has the power to protect from Samsara, the Ocean of Misery, one can have complete confidence in him. Having contemplated, the above, one should recite the following refuge verse three or more times: “In the Buddhas, the Dharma, and the Supreme Community, I take refuge until Buddhahood is attained." b) Taking the vow to generate the Bodhicitta: All of the living beings visualized before one have been one's kind mothers and fathers.

Olga Kousalová Diplomová práce 2008 SOUHRN Po úmrtí šestnáctého karmapy Rangdžung Rigpä Dordžeho (†1981), představeného jedné ze škol tibetského buddhismu, Karma-kagjü, začali vybraní regentové vyhledávat jeho sedmnáctou inkarnaci. Došlo mezi nimi ke sporům, které vedly k rozpoznání a intronizaci dvou sedmnáctých karmapů. Za cíl práce si kladu popsat celou situaci a osvětlit příčiny možného vzniku a trvání rozkolu. V první kapitole nastiňuji charakteristické znaky tibetského buddhismu a jeho vývoj – s přihlédnutím ke škole Kagjü. Druhá kapitola pojednává o instituci karmapy a tulkuů. Ve třetí kapitole popisuji historické pozadí sporu a uvádím okolnosti vyhledání a rozpoznání obou sedmnáctých karmapů. Ve čtvrté kapitole dělím spor na náboženskou rovinou, kde se zabývám tím, kdo má kompetence karmapu vyhledávat a jak jednotlivé strany obhajují tradičními způsoby autenticitu svého kandidáta; a politickou rovinu, kde rozebírám vlivy, metody a zájmy dalších stran (čtrnáctého dalajlamy, Čínské lidové republiky a západní společnosti), které do kontroverze zasáhly. Na závěr se snažím veškeré poznatky zhodnotit a propojit, a předkládám několik hypotéz o možných příčinách vzniku kontroverze, z nichž jednu podrobněji rozebírám. KLÍČOVÁ SLOVA Tibet; buddhismus; Kagjü; karmapa; 17; rozkol; dalajlama; Čína ABSTRACT Following the death of the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje who was the head of Karma Kagyu, i.e. one of the tibetian schools of buddhism, chosen regents commenced the search for his 17th incarnation. As they came to disagree on whom to choose, two different 17th Karmapas were recognized and enthronized. The primary motive and goal of my dissertation is to describe the entire situation and shed some light on the possible causes which might have led to creation and continuation of the rupture.
