Teachings on Tara, 12 June 2014, Sao Paulo, Brazil

We practice Dharma to be awakened, for enlightenment. But how do we long for something so abstract and un-longeable? Buddhist teachings use human psychology as a stepping stone for the path. In this case, shunyata appears as a shape, colour, 21 forms, etc. Our longing for a mother, sister, protector takes us to Tara; it makes us approach the deity. That longing then becomes a communication link.

Deity is all to do with our perception. It's not like Tara existed before we knew her. How she communicates and functions depends entirely on how we relate to her. According to how wholeheartedly we relate to her, in that same way we will have communication from her.

"The main thing is remembering her — anytime, anywhere, however short, even if it is a few moments, remembering Tara and considering that as a proper practice and being happy with that."

Teachings on Tara, 12 June 2014, Sao Paulo, Brazil - Part 1

Teachings given on March 8, 2013 by Lama Tsering Gyaltsen, a founding teacher, at Saraha Nyingma Buddhist Institute in Eugene, Oregon, USA on the subject "The Six Bardo's - The Intermediate States of Existence" 

“Bardo” is a Tibetan word meaning literally “between two,” which in Buddhism refers to the idea that within Samsara all states of existence are not static, but are actually continuous, successive, ordered facets of beginningless transition.  What we usually refer to as “life and death” are only two among the six bardos that are traditionally enumerated. 

Each Bardo has its own form of expression and development, and each presents beings with unique opportunities for the realization of enlightenment, or for advancement toward enlightenment, or conversely for decline into greater suffering.  Bardo teachings such as these are an important key to knowing where we are, which way to go, and  how to proceed.

Teaching On Refuge – 2010, London, UK - Track 01

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.
