Buddha’s Lost Secrets:
Tips on Meditation & the Spiritual path #204
from your Buddhism expert



There is only so much time and energy. These
limitations force us to choose between scholastic
accomplishment and spiritual attainment.



Many Americans who study Zen put more effort into trying to become Japanese, then they do trying to attain enlightenment.

But wait, there’s more!

The same absurdity occurs when Americans studying:
• Ch’an,
• Tantra or
• Theravada…

indulge in the silly distraction of getting lost in the cultures of:
• China,
• Tibet,
• India and
• Thailand.

It is NOT my Job to…

master:
• linguistics,
• culture,
• trivia or
• politics.

My job is simple.
Your job is simple.
Buddha’s job was simple.

May I give you two things?

May I give you a Fact and a Secret?

FACT: Buddha was born for two purposes;
#1 to accomplish full enlightenment in one
lifetime and...
#2 to take away the world’s sufferings.

Are you ready for the Secret?

That is also why you were born, and that is also why
I was born, and quite honestly, that is what the
meaning of life is all about!

So let’s free ourselves from the time-wasting and
energy-squandering distractions that threaten to
drain us like Dracula in a Bela Lugosi film.



And instead, let’s set our sights upon, the two most
worthy goals of accomplishing enlightenment for
ourselves and others.

If you were to schedule and pay for an audience with
the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet; and you asked him what
the meaning of life was, what would his answer be?



There is a good chance he would say, “the meaning of
life can be found in…

Completing the two collections for
the two purposes” ? ? ?

At that point:
• your eyes could glaze over,
• your jaw could hang slack and
• a line of drool could actually descend from
the corner of your mouth.

And of course at that sight, the Dalai Lama
could, good naturedly, point and laugh.



The “…two collections for the two purposes…”;

What could that Mean?

SIMPLE! The two purposes are:
#1 to accomplish full enlightenment in this
life and...
#2 to then, turn around, and help everyone
else do likewise; without ever
abandoning our:
• children,
• partners,
• jobs or
• homes.

The two collections are:
• the collection of transcendental Insight and
• the collection of Good-karma.

The two purposes are our destinations and the
two collections fuel us on Buddha’s path.



One of the most effective ways to further your
progress on Buddha’s path to enlightenment to is
to practice the “Treasure of the Dalai Lamas” for
3 minuets every morning and 44 seconds every
evening. That way you’ll understand the essence of
Buddha’s teachings, so you can have a hook to
hang your hat on, so it could be much easier to
feel safe on enlightenment’s path, so you could
free up your time and energy for that which is
truly important… greater: peace, love, bliss and
transformation, so reserve your copy now

Buddha’s Lost Secrets:
Tips on Meditation & the Spiritual path #203
from your Buddhism expert



A sweet and earnest 12-stepper, who was exploring
Hindu mysticism, enthusiastically shared some of her
guru’s advice with me.



The utter nonsense that he was passing off as
spiritual guidance was, “Always Return to your
Breath.” Hmmm sounds nice {in a mindlessly
superficial sort of way}, but what was his point?

He was advising his students to turn from their
sufferings of sorrow, fear, aggression and turmoil and
run into the arms of Breathing meditation.

What a steaming Load of Monkey Poop!

Yes, just as I taught in “The Centering Questions” the
tranquility offered by effective breathing
meditation can be calming, peaceful and blissful. But
it can also be deceptively seductive.



Listen, before Buddha was Buddha, when he was still
Gautama the Monk, he quickly mastered the eight
“Jha-nas” of deep meditation. But he quickly observed
that whatever painful emotion drove him to mediate, was
NOT dissolved by his blissful meditation.

Rather, when he concluded each meditation session he
noticed that the painful emotion that drove him to
meditate, in the first place, was still there, with
all it’s destructive energy, poised and ready to
pounce; like a cat, sitting in front of a mouse hole,
waiting patiently for the inevitable re-appearance of
his quarry.



Buddha found that the only purpose of deep
meditation was to prepare the mind for contemplation.

In the centuries before Buddha, men like
Pantanjali taught the virtues of concentration and
men like Shankara praised the benefits of
contemplation. Just as Reese combined the great
tastes of both peanut butter and chocolate into
their “peanut butter cups” likewise only Buddha
successfully united both concentration and
contemplation into one, dynamically effective system.



A very effective presentation of Buddha’s
essentialized “middle-way” contemplations can be
found in the “Sutric Questions” portion of the
practice text “Quick Path to Happy Peace.” That is
why I’ve also made it available for FREE download.


Remember it is tranquility that gives us the
resourcefulness to contemplate effectively. As
I explained in “Harnessing the Power of the Bowing
Prayer,” ancient Indians described magick in terms of interdependent:
• matter,
• energy and
• thought.



Just as the Bowing Prayer is important to prepare the
body for mediation, likewise the practice of the
“Karmic Dynamo” is crucial for preparing both the
energy and the mind for the truly transformative and
liberating union of concentration and contemplation.

Karmic Dynamo for a substantial discount. I don’t

Buddha’s Lost Secrets:
Tips on Meditation & the Spiritual path #202
from your Buddhism expert



The great Tibetan saint, Patrul Rinpoche wrote:


Ah! Fount of compassion,
my root teacher, Lord Chen-re-zig,
you are my
only protector!

The Six-syllable mantra, essence of your speech
is the sublime Dhar-ma;
from now on I have
NO hope BUT you!

Two generations later, the 14th Dalai Lama’s late
teacher, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, explained:

Chen-re-zig is a fully enlightened Buddha who,

in order to benefit beings, takes on the form of a
Bo-dhi-sat-tva. All the Buddhas have but one nature
and their compassion is embodied in Chen-re-zig. As
the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas,
Chen-re-zig is at the same time the source of all
Buddhas and Bo-dhi-sat-tvas, since compassion is
the very root of enlightenment. Chen-re-zig is
compassion itself in the form of a deity.

Chen-re-zig is the Buddha,

Chen-re-zig is the Dhar-ma,
Chen-re-zig is the Sang-ha;

Chen-re-zig is the Gu-ru,
Chen-re-zig is the Yi-dam,
Chen-re-zig is the Da-ki-ni;

Chen-re-zig is the Dhar-ma-ka-ya,
Chen-re-zig is the Sam-bho-ga-ka-ya,
Chen-re-zig is the Nir-ma-na-ka-ya;

Chen-re-zig is A-mi-ta-bha,
Chen-re-zig is Gu-ru Rin-po-che,
Chen-re-zig is Ar-ya Ta-ra;

and above all Chen-re-zig is
our own Root Teacher.

Like a hundred streams passing under a single bridge,

Chen-re-zig is the union of all the Buddhas.

To receive his blessings is to receive the
blessings of all the Buddhas, and to realize his
nature is to realize the nature of all the Buddhas.



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.

Similarly, Chen-re-zig’s Six-syllable mantra,
Om Ma-ni Pad-me Hum, is the compassionate
wisdom of all the Buddhas manifested as sound.

Within it is contained the essential meaning of all
eighty-four thousand sections of the Buddha’s
teachings. Of all the many mantras of various kinds,
such as
• awareness mantras,
• dharanis and
• secret mantras,
not one is superior to the six syllables of
Chen-re-zig. The great benefits of reciting this
mantra, commonly known as the Ma-ni, are described
again and again in both {the} sutras and tantras.

It is said that to recite the Ma-ni even once is
the same as reciting the whole of the twelve branches
of Buddha’s teachings. Reciting the six syllables
of the Ma-ni perfects the six Pa-ra-mi-tas and
firmly blocks any possibility of rebirth in the six
realms of Sam-sa-ra.

It is a simple practice, easy to understand and
accessible to all, and at the same time it contains
the essence of the Dha-rma.

If you take the Ma-ni as your refuge both in
happiness and in sorrow, Chen-re-zig will always
be with you, you will feel more and more devotion
without any effort, and all by itself the
realization of the Ma-ha-ya-na path will arise in
your being.



There is nothing in the whole world that can
actually frighten away the Lord of Death, but the
warm radiance of Chen-re-zig’s compassion can
completely dispel the dread felt by anyone as
Death approaches. This is what is meant by “undeceiving refuge.”

Totally free from Sam-sa-ra, Chen-re-zig is
always ready to help sentient beings, and even the
slightest movement – a gesture of his hand, a blink
of his eyes – has the power to free us from
Sam-sa-ra.

When we invoke him by reciting the Ma-ni, we
should never think that he is too far away to hear
us, in some distant Buddhafield… in truth his
compassion never forsakes a single being.

He manifests himself constantly in whatever form may
benefit beings most, particularly in the form of
great spiritual teachers; so we should understand
with complete conviction that Chen-re-zig, the
supreme protector who shows all sentient beings the
path to liberation, {could be} in fact none other
than our root teacher.



That is why my essays can find their way to your
computer at absolutely NO charge, that is why I’ve
made “Quick Path to Happy Peace,” and a devotional
image of Chen-re-zig available for FREE download,
that is why I’ve made the commentaries and explanations
available for only modest donations, that is why
your opportunity to make the most of this fantastic
opportunity that has been made available to you now
