Poison is Medicine, 3 August 2021, Halifax, Canada

Poison is medicine. That is magic. Medicine is poison is also magic. There is no ultimate poison nor ultimate medicine. And when we fall into the trap of seeing poison as poison only and medicine as medicine only, we deprive ourselves of this deep and vast magic. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche gives a very personal introduction to the nature of the tantric path for those who aspire to be Vajrayana students.

Rinpoche’s book “Poison is Medicine” was written to clarify misunderstandings about the Vajrayana path and is available for free download at: https://www.siddharthasintent.org/resources/features/poison-is-medicine/

The Perfection of Wisdom

The Perfection of Wisdom Sutra presents a fundamental view of the Buddha Dharma and how we can follow the path to an awakened mind. For Mahayana practitioners, this sutra is the essence of the Buddha’s teachings. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche gives a brief introduction to the sutra on Saga Dawa, a very special day when the Buddha fully awakened to the truth.

Prayer to Guru Rinpoche (Tibetan), written by Dudjom Rinpoche

The Mahāsūtra “On Entering the City of Vaiśālī”
ཡངས་པའི་གྲོང་ཁྱེར་དུ་འཇུག་པའི་མདོ་ཆེན་པོ།
Vaiśālīpraveśamahāsūtra
Toh 312

Invited to visit the city of Vaiśālī, which has been ravaged by a terrible epidemic, the Buddha instructs Ānanda to stand at the city’s gate and recite a proclamation, a long mantra, and some verses that powerfully evoke spiritual well-being. Ānanda does so, and the epidemic comes to an end. One of the mahāsūtras related to the literature of the Vinaya, this text, like other accounts of the incident, has traditionally been recited during times of personal or collective illness, bereavement, and other difficulties.

We are humbled to share here both a recitation in English, as well as a recitation in Tibetan by our Founding Chair, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche(https://soundcloud.com/translate84000/toh-312-entering-the-great-city-of-vaishali-recited-by-dzongsar-khyentse-rinpoche) to help those unsure of where or how to begin.

So open the text in our Reading Room (https://read.84000.co), and recite along!
