Join the esteemed author and scholar Mark Unno in a wide-ranging discussion of the Pure Lands, and how much they have to offer for our modern age. Professor Unno begins with a thorough look at the history and philosophy of the Pure Land schools, before turning to the main principles of this noble tradition. The core tenets of self-power and other-power are explored, the role of nembutsu (reciting the name of Amida Buddha), true entrusting, deep listening, the power of mantra, and how the Pure Land of Sukhavati is different from Heaven, and Amida is different from God.Dr. Unno shares personal stories of his experience with Pure Land tenets, and how the practice of bowing and surrender has transformed him. How real are the Pure Lands? Do we take them literally or symbolically? Is there a danger in psychologizing the Pure Lands? Why should we go there after we die? Mark talks about the difference between nirvana and parinirvana, the nondual light of oneness that Amida represents, and the principle of purity and purification altogether. The discussion turns to the notion of “spiritual photosynthesis,” the power of light and the mantra of light, before moving to the idea of “reverse karmic bond” and its relationship to the Reverse Meditations. Professor Unno clearly manifests a lifetime of study and practice in the Pure Land tradition and represents the depth and profundity of a tradition that is sometimes dismissed as “Buddhism Lite.” Mark has a unique gift of taking these teachings and bringing them immediately into life, translating Pure Land principles into practical terms. See for yourself why Dr. Unno is such a treasured representative of this often-misunderstood tradition.

What is going on... your gal is turning THIRTY and to celebrate the madness that is the saturn return, I invited mystic, astrologer & channeler Sukhavati on to help us navigate the initiation from twenties to thirties. We also talk about the eclipse season themes we are in now (and will continue unfolding for the next few years.)

This aspiration prayer to be reborn in Sukhavati was translated and offered by Garchen Rinpoche's translation group. It's a powerful prayer to purify negative karma, increase merit (positive Karma), increase the likelihood that you will be born in a positive realm. It's also a prayer I've recited when loved one's died or are dying. Here is a link to my blog which has a link to download the prayer in PDF.

Lama Zopa Rinpoce inizia con una citazione di Thogme Sango dalle Trentasette pratiche di un Bodhisattva: Tutte le sofferenze provengono dal desiderare la felicità per se stessi. La piena illuminazione viene dal pensiero di beneficiare gli altri. Pertanto, scambiare la propria felicità con la sofferenza degli altri È la pratica dei bodhisattva. Rinpoce commenta questo passaggio e spiega che tutte le cose indesiderabili, tutte le sofferenze che sperimentiamo, provengono dal desiderare la felicità solo per se stessi. Perciò, scambiare la propria felicità con la sofferenza degli altri è la pratica dei bodhisattva. Quando il piacere e i problemi accadono, si può effettivamente vedere se si sta praticando o meno il Dharma. Se quando arriva un problema, è come se fossi completamente annegato nell'oceano allora vuol dire che invece di pensare al Dharma per risolvere e superare il tuo problema, sei "sotto" al problema, senza averne il controllo. Quando arriva il piacere, sei totalmente distratto da esso, sei totalmente annebbiato e sotto il controllo della preoccupazione mondana e dell'attaccamento, di nuovo come se stessi affogando nell'oceano. Questo è il momento in cui puoi vedere se stai praticando il Dharma o no. Questo è il vero esame. Poiché sei un essere umano, e non una pietra o un pezzo di legno, puoi beneficiare gli altri. Anche le formiche o le zanzare - puoi fare in modo di non calpestarle, puoi portarle intorno agli oggetti sacri, puoi fare quello che puoi per beneficiarle. Recitare tre volte OM MANI PADME HUM e soffiare su qualsiasi essere senziente purifica il loro karma negativo. Se non stai vivendo per beneficiare gli altri, stai vivendo una vita molto arida, poco interessante e noiosa! Usare la tua vita per raggiungere l'illuminazione non è affatto noioso. Rinpoce passa poi in rassegna la motivazione per ricevere trasmissioni orali e insegnamenti. Parla anche del grande yoghi Thangtong Ghiyalpo come preparazione alle trasmissioni orali che darà qui di seguito. Prima delle trasmissioni orali, Rinpoce spiega che i benefici di recitare e ascoltare OM MANI PADME HUM sono estesi ed elenca alcuni di questi benefici e dando un commentario su ciascuno: - Recitarlo una volta purifica le quattro sconfitte di un monaco completamente ordinato - Recitarlo purifica i cinque karma negativi pesanti a retribuzione immediata - Recitarlo sette volte purifica il karma negativo di cento vite - Recitarlo ventuno volte purifica il karma negativo di mille eoni - Recitarlo 108 volte purifica il karma negativo di 40.000 eoni - Chiunque lo ascolti ottiene una rinascita superiore - Quando la reciti, la tua mente è libera da aspettative e quindi pura In breve, Rinpoce sottolinea che dobbiamo recitare OM MANI PADME HUM mentre abbiamo ancora una perfetta rinascita umana. Rinpoce poi ringrazia "un milione, zilione, trilione" di ringraziamenti a tutti i cento Sangha che si uniscono il sabato per ventiquattro ore per recitare OM MANI PADME HUM per pacificare la pandemia del COVID-19. Ringrazia anche tutti gli studenti dell'Istituto Chenrezig (in Australia) che hanno organizzato tutti gli aspetti tecnici che hanno permesso e che permettono che questo evento avvenga online ora da più di un anno. Rinpoce termina questo video offrendo il commentario e la trasmissione orale in tibetano di tre preghiere di Thangtong Ghiyalpo: "Liberare Sakya dalla malattia" (a partire dal minuto 37:45 del video), "Parole di verità che pacificano il pericolo delle armi" (39:45), e "Una richiesta per pacificare la paura della carestia" (42:57). Rinpoce offre anche la trasmissione orale di Re delle Preghiere (1:01:21), Omaggio al Tathagata Amitabha e al Buddha Amitayus, Una breve preghiera per rinascere a Sukhavati (1:11:04), e La Schiera della Terra Pura Sukhavati (1:13:15).

For this investigation of the question, "what is a Buddha?" we will look into the Sutras and Shastras, or the words of the Buddha and the commentaries from his disciples, to find definitive answers for our own well-fare and the well-fare of others.  We look into the Avatamsaka Sutra with commentary by Master Hsuan Hua, the Vimalakirit Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, Master Nagarjuna's Prajanaparamita Shastra and Dharmadhatu stava with commentary by Ranjung Dorje, The Uttaratantra Shastra by Maitreya with commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, Dignaga's Pramanasamuccaya with commentary by Geshe Kelsang Wangmo, Bodhidharma's Bloodstream Sermon, the Platform Sutra with commentary by Master Hsuan Hua, Kobodaishi Kukai's The Meaning of Becoming Buddha in This Very Body, Dogen's Shobogenzo, the 100,000 Songs of Milarepa, and Longchenpa's Finding Rest in the Nature of Mind with his own auto-commentary. Buddhaversepodcast.cominstagram.com/harddrive

Lama Zopa Rinpoche begins this teaching, recorded on July 31, 2021, at Kopan Monastery in Nepal, by referencing this quote by Thogme Sango in Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva: All sufferings come from desiring happiness for oneself. Full enlightenment comes from the thought of benefitting others. Therefore, exchanging one's own happiness for the suffering of others Is the practice of bodhisattvas. Rinpoche gives commentary on this passage and explains that all undesirable things, all the sufferings we experience, come from desiring happiness for oneself. Therefore, exchanging one's own happiness for the suffering of others is the practice of bodhisattvas. When pleasure and problems happen, you can see whether or not you are practicing Dharma. When a problem comes, it is like you are completely drowned in the ocean. Instead of thinking of Dharma to solve and overcome your problem, you are "under" the problem, not having control over it. When pleasure comes, you are totally distracted by it, you are under the control of worldly concern and attachment, again—like you are drowning in the ocean. This is when you can see if you are practicing Dharma or not. Because you are a human being, and not a stone or wood, you can benefit others. Even the ants or mosquitoes—you can make sure not to step on them, you can take them around holy objects, you can do what you can to benefit them. Reciting OM MANI PADME HUM three times and blowing on any sentient being purifies so much negative karma. If you aren't living to benefit others, you are living a very dry, uninteresting, boring life! Using your life to achieve enlightenment is not boring at all. Rinpoche then reviews the motivation for receiving oral transmissions and teachings. He also discusses the great yogi Thangtong Gyalpo in preparation for the oral transmissions he gives later in the teaching. Before the oral transmissions, Rinpoche explains that the benefits of reciting and hearing OM MANI PADME HUM are extensive. Rinpoche lists many of these benefits and provides commentary on each: • Reciting it one time purifies the four defeats of a fully ordained monk • Reciting it purifies the five heavy negative karmas without a break • Reciting it seven times purifies the negative karma of one hundred lifetimes • Reciting it twenty-one times purifies the negative karma of 1,000 eons • Reciting it 108 times purifies the negative karma of 40,000 eons • Anyone who hears it gets a higher rebirth • When you recite it, your mind is free from expectations and therefore pure In short, Rinpoche stresses to us that we must recite OM MANI PADME HUM while we still have a perfect human rebirth. Rinpoche then offers, “a million, zillion, trillion” thanks to all the one hundred Sangha who join together on Saturdays for twenty-four hours to recite OM MANI PADME HUM for the COVID-19 pandemic. He also thanks everybody at Chenrezig Institute who arranged all the technical aspects that allow for this to happen online. Rinpoche ends this video by offering commentary on and the oral transmissions in Tibetan of three prayers of Thangtong Gyalpo: “Liberating Sakya from Disease” (starting at 37:45 in the video), “Words of Truth Pacifying the Danger of Weapons” (39:45), and “A Request to Pacify the Fear of Famine” (42:57). Rinpoche also offers the oral transmission of King of Prayers (1:01:21), Homage to Tathagata Amitabha and Buddha Amitayus, A Brief Prayer to Be Reborn in Sukhavati (1:11:04), and The Array of Sukhavati Pure Land (1:13:15). -- Find links to the transcript, texts for the oral transmissions, translations, and more: https://fpmt.org/lama-zopa-rinpoche-news-and-advice/advice-from-lama-zopa-rinpoche/a-zillion-thanks-to-the-sangha-for-reciting-manis-during-the-pandemic/

Hello guys, Before nationalists and patriots, before colonizers and invaders, before emperors and kings, India was woven together by pilgrim paths. Seekers and sages travelled north and south, east and west, across mountains and along rivers, ignoring artificial boundaries, seeking and finding gods. Renowned mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik takes us on an insightful journey to thirty-two holy sites where ancient and modern deities unravel the complex and layered history, geography, and imagination of the land once known as ‘land of the Indian blackberry’ (Jambudvipa), ‘land of rivers’ (Sindhusthala in Sanskrit, or Hindustan in Persian), ‘expanse of King Bharata’ (Bharatvarsha, or Bharatkhanda), and even ‘abode of joy’ (Sukhavati to the Chinese). In today's video, I have shared BOOK REVIEW OF Pilgrim Nation by Devdutt Pattanaik | summery of a book by Ronak shah Pilgrim Nation is all about 32 pilgrims in India. buy kindle. https://amzn.to/39Zi5af HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM HOME. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rOxBWQ3A_A&list=PLqvfiDsm21doOs3BbebjohDiSE-b7q2io CHECK ALL BOOK REVIEW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCffhPLPFJ8&list=PLqvfiDsm21do6blTFHMGlAgXBbW3Eq1zO Hope you like it. you can send me Amazon gift cards at connect.ronak1@gmail.com I will thank you in the next video. so I can keep buying and introducing you to new books.

Steve Griffith is the Director and Founder of Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat and Spa. He has studied yoga and meditation since the 70’s and is a long term student of The Beatles meditation teacher, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.   I sat down with Steve in Bali, talking about the importance of feeling radical love, how to be present, and how to tap into our purpose through intent.   Radically Vibrant Steve   We have to break through the conditioning that created an unconscious habit of thought patterns that no longer serve us We never totally revert back to our old patterns once we created new habits, we just have moments where we temporarily fall back into the pattern Being solution minded is a mindset that looks for an answer to a problem instead of placing blame for the problem or giving in to a false reality   Radically Inspired Clarity   Each time we think about a negative event, we trigger the same chemical response and the stress continues past the actual event Our addictions, habits, and routines hardwire our brain into a neurological pattern that keep us in the past and remove us from having new intentions and thoughts We create our story in our mind and then we walk into it just as a director creates a movie   Steve Answers…   Why did you create the Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat? Does it take more than intention to change our minds? What is your perspective on the amount of consumption we are intaking and...are we doomed?!   Radically Loved Quotes   “Everyone of us has this great gift of being a human, and being a human means we have free will. Whether we exercise it or not is a habitual practice of our past.”   “Stress is chemical imbalances that remove the sense of who we are.”   “The world is as you are.”   More About Our Guest   Steve Griffith is the Founder and Director of Sukhavati Retreat and Spa, creating mindful programs and teaching meditation to guests.

At the end of the second full day at Adhisthana on the European Chairs Assembly, Mokshini and Dassini report in on a rich, full and delightful day spent in the company of Ratnaguna - an Order member who has just written a commentary on the Pure Land Sutras. Ratnaguna shared some of his insights during the day on common themes between the Pure Land Sutras and Sangharakshita's teaching, which underpins Dharma practice in the Triratna Buddhist Community. We also hear why this "meeting" shouldn't be seen as "business" but rather as the compassionate expression of the highest ideals! #buddhism #buddhist #community #Dharma #Europe #international #Pureland #Amitabha #Sukhavati

The fourth in our series on the Sukhavati or Pure Land Sutras with Ratnaguna. February 2015 The post Adventures in the Pure Land – Trust appeared first on Manchester Buddhist Centre.

Todayand#8217;s FBA Dharmabyte is an excerpt from the talk and#8220;Pure and Impure Buddhalands and#8211; This Very Place, the Lotus Paradiseand#8221; by Taranita. He begins the talk by and#8220;Reading the Sukhavativyuha Sutraand#8221;, a text that expounds on the grandeur and wealth of riches available in the Pure Land. Taranita addresses the practical skepticism that often comes up in the face of the flowery language of the sutra, and suggests we look at it symbolically and mythically. Talk given at Bristol Buddhist Centre, 2015

Ratnaguna asks what the myth of Sukhavati actually means, and proposes an answer. February 2015 The post Adventures in the Pure Land – Naturalness appeared first on Manchester Buddhist Centre.

As a bonus, at the end of our retreat Alan presented to us the teachings on Sukhavati from Karma Chagme. If you missed your chance for the three modes of achieving enlightenment, then it is definitely not Alan’s fault, with all the podcasts up to now you guys had your opportunities. If not, don’t start crying yet, there is still the light of hope on the Western horizon, and that’s Amitabha’s pure land. There are different levels of pure lands that can be reached by beings, depending on their abilities. If you have already achieved a high level of realization you have full choice. Would you like to be in Akanishta or is it not challenging enough for you to go there? Well, most of us might want to start trying with Sukhavati first, that is more within reach of ordinary beings who are still prone to mental afflictions. What could prevent you from going there are the five deeds of immediate retribution. But other than that, the entrance examination is comparatively easy. Once you have achieved rebirth in Sukhavati you are all set. You can achieve enlightenment either there or in any other pure realm of your choice, Alan’s favorite will be Shambala. I am sure that he will establish the tradition of the 8-week retreats there, so make sure you will be able to join!
