“In order to destroy these appearances that lack truth, we make use of an appearance that lacks grasping.” – Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

In this teaching, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche explains how by using the five elements of tantric practice – substance, deity, meditative concentration, mantra, and mudra – gaining understanding of the magical apparitions of wisdom leads us to the realization of our ultimate nature. How the world appears, though seemingly real from the point of view of sentient beings, is not real from the point of view of omniscient wisdom. “In order to destroy these appearances that lack truth, we make use of an appearance that lacks grasping.”

For the past forty years, Ken McLeod has worked as a translator of Tibetan texts, practices, and rituals. With his new book, "The Magic of Vajrayana," McLeod takes a more personal approach, drawing from his own experience to provide readers with a taste of Vajrayana rituals and practices. Through practice instructions, evocative vignettes, and stories from his own life, McLeod offers a practical introduction to many of the rituals that may seem obscure to contemporary Western practitioners, including protector practice and guru yoga.

In this episode of Tricycle Talks, Tricycle’s editor-in-chief, James Shaheen, sits down with McLeod to discuss how rituals can take us to the edge of the unknown, what we risk when we ignore the presence of gods, and how Vajrayana helps us uncover the clear, empty knowing that is always present in experience.

Медитация 3-2

This short text marks the fifth episode in 84000's Sūtras for Well-Being series, a look at the sūtras traditionally recited for resilience and well-being in times of adversity, and the stories behind them. The Aspiration Prayer from “Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm" contains a set of verses spoken by the Buddha as he put an end to the epidemic of Vaiśālī, extracted from one of the two main accounts of that episode. The verses call for well-being, especially by invoking the qualities of the Three Jewels and a range of realized beings and eminent gods. The text comprises two passages from the parent work, and of these the first and longest corresponds closely to a well-known Pali text, the Ratana-sutta, widely recited for protection and blessings. 

We hope this audio rendition in Tibetan, by Garchen Rinpoche, helps brings the power of the text alive, and we encourage you to visit our Sūtras for Well-Being page for more on this series includings our IGTV video episodes: 84000.co/wellbeing
