  Khenpo Thubten Dorji

  Since the five perfections without wisdom Cannot bring perfect enlightenment Along with skilful means, cultivate the wisdom that does not conceive three spheres (as real) This is the practice of the bodhisattvas. Practice no: 30 is to strongly cultivate the wisdom realising emptiness. Completeness in cultivation is necessary for the ultimate fruit of Buddhahood to be harvested. If one cultivates the first 5 perfections (generosity, morality, patience, joyous effort and concentration) without cultivating the wisdom perfection, no enlightenment is possible. The emptiness of the 3 spheres refers to the emptiness of the 3 aspects (of action) e.g. in the act of giving, the emptiness of the 3 spheres are the emptiness of the giver, the emptiness of the act of giving and the emptiness of the recipient. In this way, when we perform generosity, it will be pure as there will no clinging to whatever is being offered. The merit derived from this will be immeasurable. Here, we can straightaway see that adopting the view emptiness of the 3 spheres in all our virtuous actions (the act, the do-er and the recipient being empty) generates great merit and enhances our wisdom.

  Khenpo Thubten Dorji

  Every action of body, speech or mind that we perform at any time including acts in relation to the 6 Perfections, we need to constantly hold the view of the emptiness of the 3 spheres. Only in this way, can we chip away at the deeply embedded ignorance that believes that self and others inherently exist; that inner world and outer world inherently exist. Therefore every practice we do – whether offering water, flowers, incense, service, etc we must simultaneously hold the view that the 3 spheres are empty. There are 3 categories of wisdom: The wisdom of understanding (having knowledge and skills to help sentient beings) , the wisdom of understanding ultimate phenomena (wisdom realizing emptiness) and the wisdom of the needs of sentient beings (knowing what kind of teachings and antidotes are needed for respective sentient beings). Through cultivating wisdom, one breaks the bond to ignorance, negative actions and endless sufferings. It is the supreme wisdom that is the complete antidote to ignorance and when we conjoin this wisdom with bodhicitta, all defilements can be eradicated.

Latihan Pendahuluan Khusus dalam Jalur Pembebasan (Dzogchen)

Namcho diterjemahkan sebagai Dharma Langit (Sky Dharma). Terma Namcho terungkap di abad ke-17 oleh Terton Migyur Dorje yang menerimanya dari Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva dan Guru Rinpoche. Ajaran ini diturunkan oleh Terton Mingyur Dorje ke Karma Chagme Rinpoche dan Rigdzin Kunzang Sherab yang merupakan pendiri sekaligus pemegang silsilah pertama Palyul, dan seterusnya diturunkan secara tidak terputus hingga saat ini.

Latihan Pendahuluan Khusus ataupun Ngondro terdiri dari perlindungan dalam tiga permata berharga – Buddha, Dharma, dan Sangha, Bodhicitta – praktek dari enam kesempurnaan dan aspirasi untuk merealisasikan pencerahan demi semua makhluk. Akumulasi jasa kebajikan melalui Latihan Mandala. Penyesalan, pertobatan, purifikasi kenegatifan dan halangan melalui Latihan Vajrasattva, serta Latihan Guru Yoga. Seluruh latihan ini merupakan upaya kausalya untuk purifikasi kenegatifan (yang ditimbulkan melalui tubuh, ucapan & pikiran) dan akumulasi kebajikan guna menuju Latihan & Praktik Dharma tingkat lanjut.

21 Zhambala

Zhambala dikenal sebagai Bodhisattva kekayaan. Ikrar Zhambala adalah untuk membebaskan semua makhluk dan melindungi Buddha Dharma. Seseorang yang memiliki motivasi Bodhicitta dan mempraktikkan Buddha Dharma secara benar akan memperoleh blessing Zhambala yaitu hambatan dalam jalur Dharma menuju tanah suci Para Buddha dapat terkikis bahkan dihapus, memperoleh kekayaan dan aspirasi serta keinginannya dapat terwujud.

Sadhana 21 Zhambala merupakan Terma Namcho yang diturunkan oleh Avalokitesvara & Guru Rinpoche kepada Terton Mingyur Dorje. Ajaran ini kemudian diturunkan oleh Terton Mingyur Dorje ke Karma Chagme Rinpoche dan Rigdzin Kunzang Sherab yang merupakan pendiri sekaligus pemegang silsilah pertama Palyul, dan seterusnya diturunkan secara tidak terputus hingga saat ini.

LONG LIVE MY ROOT GURU

Happy teachers day all around the world.
TEACHER, As the sick man relies on his doctor,
The traveller on his escort,
The frightened man on his companion,
Merchants on their ferryman,
If birth, death and negative emotion are the enemies you fear,
Entrust yourself to a teacher.

Khenpo Thubten Dorji.

Humble and Wisdom

Today I want to share something to you from the very depth of my heart.

1. You need to have love and compassion

2. You should always try to be humble

3. You need good relationship with every people.

1. Explaining about love and compassion : you should think everyone as your own mother. You shouldn’t differentiate any sentient beings. If your love and compassion is biased, then its not a true love and compassion. If we love only our friends and family members of this life, we are no different from animals and ghost. Because animal and ghost alos love their family, friends and relatives.

2. Speaking about humbleness, you dont win from people by fighting, quarreling, scholding etc.

Even an animal like dog doesn’t like people who beats him. When you look at people, you should look in a way that people will really like you.  Just by seeing your eyes, you should let other have devotion and faith in Dharma. When you speak, just by hearing a word, you should attract people to the dharma.  Similarly when you walk, you should, you should walk in such a way that every people likes your walking style. When you speak, you should always try to talk in simple manner.

3. Relationship is very important for any people

We shouldn’t talk bad things about religion of other people. Whatever religion it is, you should maintain good relation with them. If you can help them, you should do that. If you can’t help them, at least you shouldn’t harm them. Speaking about relationship with people, you shoudn’t differentiate then based on colour, caste, creed, knowledge, etc if we do good to them, they will surely do good to us return.

Finally, whatever I said so far, analyse it with your own mind. If you think its good, practice it until you die.

NEED To Rely On The Spiritual MASTER”

NEED ToRely On The Spiritual MASTER”

The spiritual master inspires and helps us to enhance our virtuous mind, just like how the moon increases from the first day to the fifteenth day. The Guru steers us away from creating negative actions. Therefore relying on the Guru is one of the practices of bodhisattvas.

One should always view the spiritual master as the supreme virtuous friend. Why? Because one’s spiritual master is rare to find and thus to be treasured and listened to. Secondly, a qualified spiritual guides us against committing negative action instigated by delusions and in so doing, protects us from lower realms.

Therefore, being properly devoted to the spiritual master will lead one to Buddhahood. A qualified spiritual master should as a minimum, be someone who has compassion, is un-biased, of pure ethics, more knowledgeable than oneself and seeks to benefit others more than himself. In particular, a Mahayana master must provide the complete teachings of the Buddha.
