Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #187
from your Buddhism expert



The “great” state of Texas and the enormous country of
China… what do they have in common? A penchant for
execution.





Of course, one of the drawbacks of execution is it’s
finality. Once the state has killed you, it can make
appealing the conviction, real difficult.


One of the things I love about Buddhism, especially
it’s Tantric teachings, is that every karmic
negativity has it’s remedy. The Mahayanan sects of
Buddhism, on the other hand, talk about the five
acts of immediate retribution. They teach that if
one was to:
• Kill his mother, his father or an Arhat
• cause a division in the Sangha {or community
of folks who strive to practice Buddha’s teachings} or
• maliciously wound a Buddha
then there would be absolutely NO way to
purify those karmic negativities and once one died,
they would take a very inauspicious rebirth. Or in
other words…

“No soup for you!”

The Theravadan sects also teach that there are
certain acts of bad karma. And that if a nun or a
monk were to perform one of those bad acts they
would instantly loose their ordination, and once
they die, go straight to Buddhist hell.


I am so thankful that my Mantrayanan or Tantric
teachers taught me otherwise. The great Kadampa
lamas used to teach that the only good thing about
Karmic negativities is that they can be purified.


There are many mantras that can be effective at
purifying bad karma, but none are more effective
then the Six-syllable mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum. It
can purify the five acts of immediate retribution or
those that can lead to monastic expulsion. It can even
purify our bad karma if we find ourselves in Texas
or China!
