In today's selection from Dilgo Khyentse's commentary we can read:

"All phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana are
projection of your mind.
So, too, is Chenrezig.

To merge all practices into one,
remain in the state where
emptiness and appearances are
of one single essence,
and recite the Mani."

From the Dalai Lama's
"The Path to Enlightenment,"
lets read page 104-105 and
let's also read from the
Translator's Introduction on page 16.





In today's selection the 3rd Dalai Lama explains:

"For this we must consider
the four aspects of karmic law:

[1] positive and negative deeds plant
seeds that will bear respective fruit
i.e., goodness produces future happiness and
evil produces future misery;

[2] one seed produces many fruits,
each of which has many seeds of a like nature;
[3] a deed NOT done produces NO result;
[4] and every deed one does in

body, speech OR mind leaves a karmic seed in
one's continuum that is never exhausted
{unless worked out or
neutralized by spiritual exercise}.

When one has contemplated these
four aspects of karmic law,
the importance of living in accordance with
the teachings of abandoning negativity

and cultivating the good
becomes obvious."

In today's exploration of
the " Intermediate Collection of Practices "
we could consider:

Oh La-ma Chen-re-zig, “I” confess and
regret my negativities of
body, speech and mind as well as
resolve to err NO more;

may “I” now receive the
complete purification of
“my” every Karmic-negativity and
it’s tendencies: Om Ma-ni Pad-me Hum!
