Wednesday's Recommended Reading

From Dilgo Khyentse's
"The Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones,"
lets read from the Commentary on pg. 12-13 and
let's also read from the root text on page 185.





In today's selection from the Root-text we can read:

"Recitations, Sa-dha-nas and powerful spells
are just complications;
the all-inclusive Six-syllable mantra is
the very sound of the Dharma."


From the Dalai Lama's
"The Path to Enlightenment,"
lets read page 38-39 and
let's also read from the devotional text on page 193.





In today's selection the Dalai Lama explaines:

"At the moment we are
totally absorbed in the interplay of
these coarse states, so we must begin our
practice by working with them.

This means consiously encouraging
love over hate,
patience in place of anger,
emotional freedom rather than attachment,

kindness over violence, and so forth.
Doing this brings an immediate peace and
calm to the mind,
thus making higher meditation possible.

Then, because grasping at a self and at
phenomena as being truly
{separately and permenently} existent is
the cause of all the vast range of
distorted states of mind,

one cultivates the wisdom that
eliminates this ego-grasping.
To overcome ego-grasping is to
overcome the entire host of mental distortions."
