RULER OF YOUR VAST KINGDOM

Read more..

Since the beginning of all time until the end of all time there lives a ruler of a vast kingdom between myriads of interstellar clouds and within each single sentient being. May this timeless king of ancient lineage born in the foam of a colorful- iridescent sea of arising stardust remember his royal descent. May he wake up to the holistic realization of his eternally pulsating universe of body, speech and mind within an ocean of nourishing light for the benefit of all living beings as there are as many as shooting stars in a meteor stream.

BE LIKE A GOLDSMITH

BE LIKE A GOLDSMITH

Living in a world focused on what is outside us, and not looking within, we are taught from a young age that we need to become something more than we are right now. We are encouraged to always be doing: we must learn; we must buy; we must acquire and achieve. And for absolute certain we must become better than we are right now just sitting here doing nothing. The Buddha taught the opposite. He said that by learning to let the mind be, just as it is right now, all our good qualities can unfold from within.

CHANTING THE HEART SUTRA IN ENGLISH

CHANTING THE HEART SUTRA IN ENGLISH

Spiritual traditions have always used singing and chanting as an important part of practice. It must have been the way texts have been passed along through generations in the times before people could read and write and book printing was invented. But there are many more reasons why chanting has a central place in so many spiritual traditions worldwide.

BUDDHISM’S NON-PREFERENTIAL PROBLEM

BUDDHISM’S NON-PREFERENTIAL PROBLEM

Some people are beneficiaries of a system that enables certain individuals to amass inconceivable riches while countless others are condemned to lives of squalor and disenfranchisement. And while Buddhism extends its systemic lenses on a much wider framework of human suffering, the in-between area of the immediately near us is sometimes neglected.

EXPLORE THE MYSTERIES

EXPLORE THE MYSTERIES

Exploring the mysteries of our innermost being, there are things which we must keep present as a living awareness.

Tantric poetry comprises reminders, more valuable than diamonds and pure gold. Such lines of poetry speak to our hearts and their meaning comes alive in our experience instantly, so we are inspired to attain realization. That is the purpose of tantric poetry.

PANORAMIC AWARENESS LIKE A DRAGONFLY

PANORAMIC AWARENESS LIKE A DRAGONFLY

Train in being unswayed by outer and inner disturbances. Train in yielding self-importance to boundless compassion. Train in dissolving ignorance in the expanse of transcendent knowing.
