Manjushree manifests in many forms. He may be white, orange or black and may appear on a lion or holding a sword and a book. He can be human or non-human, a garden or a bridge. Any place where we feel closer to the truth is also an emanation of Manjushree. But only when we free ourselves from the distinctions of outward appearances and the concepts of time and permanence, can we really be introduced to Manjushree. Understanding that phenomena appear but they have no intrinsic existence is the true nature of Manjushree and the essence of all the buddhas.

Introducing Manjushree, 7 August 2022, Online

Practising vipassana is all about experiencing life directly. Sadhana is a systematic means to reach a goal. Though traditional sadhana practice might involve ritual offerings and visualisation of deities, the ultimate goal is to have this direct experience. Traditionally, vipassana practice is associated with sitting straight and focusing on the breath. This practice has much merit and should be upheld, but to apply vipassana in the modern world we need to adopt a much more abundant and infinite approach. We need to train our minds through the contemplation of impermanence, “unsatisfactoriness” (dukkha) and emptiness to find the courage to go outside our comfort zones, to see the world as it is and find liberation through a direct experience of the truth.

The Four Immeasurable Thoughts, May 13 - 14 2023, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - Part 2

Recorded September 7, 2011, in Santa Barbara, California
Language: Rinpoche teaches in English.

In this accessible and profound talk from Santa Barbara, Rinpoche reveals how spiritual practice ultimately leads us to discover lasting happiness for ourselves and others by recognizing our inherent Buddha nature. Vajrayana Buddhism, and the Great Perfection in particular, offer powerful methods to transform the mental poisons of ignorance, anger, and desire into awakened wisdom. 

Rinpoche beautifully illustrates how bodhicitta—both as compassion for all beings and recognition of our ultimate wisdom nature—forms the heart of genuine spiritual practice. Through engaging stories and analogies, Rinpoche illustrates the importance of consistent meditation practice, with an emphasis on the role of faith and devotion, in developing the wisdom and compassion that bring lasting happiness and freedom from suffering. 

As Rinpoche teaches, though countless lifetimes of dualistic thinking have obscured our true nature, through authentic, uncontrived meditation practice and recognition, this luminous awareness can fully blossom into Buddhahood.

Advice for Spiritual Practice LTR 2011-09-07

This profound teaching on Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's "Lama Gyangpo (Calling the Lama from Afar)" was given by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche on July 16, 1998, at Pema Ösel Ling. The text is a Guru Yoga song of realization (doha), based on the Dzogchen tradition. 

The teaching explores the essential role of Guru Yoga in realizing the ultimate nature of mind, emphasizing that according to Dudjom Rinpoche, Guru Yoga is the most effective technique for recognizing rigpa (awareness). Lama Tharchin Rinpoche explains the three levels of guru (outer, inner, and secret), the crucial importance of faith and devotion, and how the ultimate guru is inseparable from one's own Buddha nature.

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!
