Sunday's Recommended Reading

.
From Dilgo Khyentse's
"The Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones,"
lets read from the Commentary on pg. 68-69 and
let's also read from the root text on page 187.






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

"As the Ka-dam-pa masters used to say,

'The only good thing about wrongdoing
is that is can be purified.'

Negative actions are compounded phenomena,
so they must be impermanent;
therefore, as the Buddha said,
there can be NO fault so serious
that it cannot be purified by the four powers."

From the Dalai Lama's
"The Path to Enlightenment,"
lets read page 90-91 and
let's also read from the biography of
the 3rd Dalai Lama on page 221.





In today's selection the 14th Dalai Lama explains:

"Thus, in the 'Three Roots' death meditation,

#1 - we Contemplate that death is certain and
Resolve to practice Dhar-ma;

#2 - we Contemplate the uncertainty of the time of death and
resolve to practice immediately; and

#3 - we Contemplate that only Dhar-ma wisdom is
of value at that time and
resolve to practice Dhar-ma purely."

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!
