The Questions of an Old Lady Sutra, 18 May 2012 - Taipei, Taiwan
This sutra contains teachings given by the Buddha to a 120-year old woman. Upon meeting the Buddha, she asks him questions concerning the four stages of life, the aggregates, the elements and the faculties. The Buddha’s response to her questions forms a complete and profound teaching on shunyata or emptiness.  After interpreting and elaborating on the sutra, Rinpoche gives instructions for directly applying shunyata in our own practice and leads two short meditation sessions.

Lalitavistara Sutra (Los Angeles 2013)

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 Tibetan by our Founding Chair, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, as well as a recitation in English (https://soundcloud.com/translate84000/toh-312-entering-the-great-city-of-vaishali-recited-by-gary-dyson) 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!

Ep. 1 | Tibetan | "On Entering the City of Vaiśālī" recited by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

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).

Ep. 2.2 | English | "The Dedication: Protecting All Beings" recited by Jigme Khyentse 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.
