The Three Levels of Perception - 3

In March 2018, Rinpoche taught at Deer Park Institute in Bir, India on ‘Hinamudra'. In this teaching (a play on Mahamudra) Rinpoche presents a groundbreaking and inclusive view of the ways that modern people can relate and actually do relate to the Buddhist path. 
Admirers of the Buddha, resonate with the words and actions of the Buddha, appreciating its noble aspirations for all beings, even though they may not identify as Buddhist.  
Buddhists take the Buddhist vow as a commitment to be guided by its wisdom. These people may not be engaged in formal practice.
Dharma practitioners are those who put the Buddhist teachings into practice and for whom the concerns of this life are less.

Letter To A Friend 01

Dedication “Protecting All Beings” (Toh 286) is a prayer of dedication that strongly resonates with the later Tibetan literature of mind training (blo sbyong). In addition to the classic element of dedication of merit to all beings, a substantial part of the text comprises a passage that enumerates the many faults, shortcomings, and afflictions that burden sentient beings, as well as the many possible attainments that they consequently may not have realized, and culminates in the wish that everything negative that would otherwise ripen for sentient beings may ripen instead for the reciter, so that all sentient beings would thus be liberated and purified.

This second episode in our Sūtras for Well-Being series focuses on two closely related, and recently published texts:
- The Dedication “Fulfilling All Aspirations” (https://read.84000.co/translation/toh285.html) and 
- The Dedication “Protecting All Beings.” (https://read.84000.co/translation/toh286.html)

And today, we are thrilled to share with you both Tibetan and English readings of these texts by two widely respected teachers of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition: Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche (English) and Pema Wangyal Rinpoche (Tibetan).

Open the texts in our online Reading Room (https://84000.co/translations/reading-room/), and follow along with the audio in the station above!

Ep. 2.2 | Tibetan | "The Dedication: Protecting All Beings" recited by Pema Wangyal Rinpoche

The Dedication “Fulfilling All Aspirations” (Toh 285) is a prayer of dedication, and is meant to be recited. Its structure partly reflects the liturgy of “seven branches” or “seven limbs,” a set of practices that serves as the basic structure of many Mahāyāna Buddhist prayers and rituals. In this instance, however, the text consists of two sections: the first is a detailed prayer of confession, and the second a prayer of rejoicing, requesting that the wheel of the Dharma be turned, beseeching the buddhas not to pass into nirvāṇa, and extensively dedicating the merit.

Ep. 2.1 | Tibetan | "The Dedication: Fulfilling All Aspirations" recited by Pema Wangyal Rinpoche

Our newly published text "The Dhāraṇī of Parṇaśavarī" is the focus of the fourth episode in our Sūtras for Well-Being series, that explores sūtras traditionally recited for resilience and well-being during times of adversity, and the stories behind them. And today we are thrilled to be able to share with you a recitation of this text in Tibetan by His Holiness 41st Sakya Trichen; as well as a reading in English [by Catherine Fordham]. 

"The Dhāraṇī of Parṇaśavarī" [https://read.84000.co/translation/toh736.html] is a short incantation dedicated to the piśācī Parṇaśavarī, who is renowned in Buddhist lore for her power to cure disease, avert epidemics, pacify strife, and otherwise protect those who recite her dhāraṇī from any obstacles they may face.

Nagarjuna's Sixty Stanzas on Reasoning, Kathmandu, Nepal, 1-7 October 2015

The Buddha told Shariputra that the best and only way to understand shunyata is through devotion. Talking about it is a waste of time. Rinpoche advises us to do things such as go to a stupa, offer a flower and say, "May I understand this truly non-arising". Offer another flower, "May all sentient beings understand truly non-existing, truly non-arising".

龍樹《六十頌如理論》

佛教中觀派祖師龍樹菩薩提出了兼容並蓄的緣起性空論，是我們了解佛教哲學的關鍵思想家。其著作《六十頌如理論》為中觀應成派的基本論典，以六十頌説明緣起，常被引用，是佛弟子了解緣起和中觀要義的重要論典。

宗薩欽哲仁波切于2015年10月在怙主頂果欽哲法王圓寂紀念日之際，在尼泊爾加德滿都，以7天的時間，藉此討論般若智慧的開示，供養文殊上師。

Triple Gem, August 2014, Auckland, NZ

The triple gem refers to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha: the three pillars of the buddhist path. When we take refuge in the three jewels we let go of our old values and step outside our comfort zone to begin to deconstruct the paradox of how we exist as a mass of tangled emotions, while at the same time we are the Buddha. Ultimately there is only one jewel, which we will eventually have to discard, just as we abandon the boat we have taken once we reach the other shore. Letting go of the path will be the hardest and most interesting part of our journey.

Wisdom and Method, 27 July 2014 - Sydney, Australia
A unique feature of the Buddhadharma is the seemingly paradoxical interdependence of wisdom and method. As method is more tangible, it is easy to forget about wisdom. Meditation, for example, has become a popular method for stress relief. But making our lives more comfortable is absolutely not the purpose of Buddhism. We are entangled in habitual patterns and these habits, as they become solid, become an organized and rigid system. Using wisdom we can try to destabilise our habits and for this we need method. There are infinite methods to choose from, one of which is chanting OM MANI PADME HUM, the mantra of compassion associated with Avalokiteśvara. On a profound level, chanting this mantra creates a vibration in our mind, prana and chakras which will help to deconstruct our habitual patterns and enable us to see the truth.
