Seven Line Supplication

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.

The Perfection of Wisdom in Eighteen Thousand Lines, 14 June 2022, Kalimpong, India

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.

Nying U Day Pay ~ Calling the Lama from Afar

"Prayer to Guru Rinpoche that Swiftly Removes Obstacles and Fulfills All Wishes", written by Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje

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!
