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 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.

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!
