Tuesday's Recommended Reading

.
From Dilgo Khyentse's
"The Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones,"
lets read from the Commentary on pg. 58-59 and
let's also read from the root text on page 179.





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

"Chen-re-zig manifests infinite forms:
kings, spiritual teachers, ordinary men and women
wild animals, even mountains, trees, bridges -
whatever is necessary to fulfill sentient beings' needs.

Even a cool breeze in scorching weather or
a soothing moment of relief during a
painful illness are manifestations of
Chen-re-zig's compassion."


From the Dalai Lama's
"The Path to Enlightenment,"
lets read page 80-81 and
let's also read from the biography of
the 3rd Dalai Lama on page 216.





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

"Discard as the husk of a grain
all the essenceless, worldly pursuits -
works of NO positive consequence and
spiritually of great peril.

Take up the essence of Dhar-ma,
so that at the time this
pithless human body is left behind,
one will NOT depart from life with regret.

Furthermore, think to practice immediately.
Drink the waters of meditation now and
relieve the thirst of wishing to hold life's essence.

As Jey Rinpoche said:

'Human life,
found but this one time,
more precious than the wish-fulfilling gem,
so hard to regain and

so easily lost,
is as brief as
a flash of lightning.

Seeing this,
discard worldly activity
like the husk of a grain
and strive day and night
to take life's essence.' "

In today's exporation of
the " "Beginning Collection of Practices" "
we could consider:


The distinct flavor of
the Rime Manipa Tradition of
NON-sectarian Devotion to the
Buddha of Compassion that

condenses all the essential
teachings of Buddha's
Sutric and Tantric paths;
could best be described by

the four "I's" of:

#1 Inscription,
#2 Inquisition,
#3 Invocation and
#4 Inclusion.

What are they?
You'll have to stay tuned to
find out!
