FORTIFYING ONE’S MIND WITH DHARMA IN SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
OM MANI PADME HUM
Spiritual practice begins with the interest to purge oneself of all negativities which consist of one’s faults and weakness and wrong views for the purpose of developing a virtuous mind.
WE ARE THE CREATORS OF OUR OWN SUFFERINGS AND HAPPINESS
and not due to God’s punishment or rewards but due to the arising of the causes and conditions that trigger the ripening of the fruits of evil deeds or virtuous deeds accordingly.
THE PROBATIONARY PERIOD OF A SEEKER OF THE WAY
Is to develop and raise one’s faith, wisdom, right understanding, endurance and discipline in being able to
- Cleanse the heart of all kinds of low desires and emotions
- Replace impure thoughts with high ideals
- Face the world with eyes that see and ears that hear
HELP FOR THE SAKE OF HELPING ME DO MY WORK
to represent My care for all, My love for all!
- Help the suffering ones in all ways according to your ability and specialty, and according to what stir your heart
- Work together unselfishly to bring greater benefit to the suffering ones
- Seek to know your mind and harmonise your body, speech and mind to be really of help to others
PRAYING AND MIND TRAINING - ITS PURPOSE, RELATIONSHIP AND BENEFITS
An Effective Way to Pray is praying with Concentration, to be fully immersed in one’s prayers, whereby all sense of time and all sensations of the five senses, and even worldly and unwholesome desires are totally absent. In this state of praying, one’s mind will be void of impure thoughts. When one prays as such, one is also engaged in training the mind involving awareness, mindfulness and meditation.
PLANTING AND TENDING TO THE BODHI TREE WITHIN THE MIND
Chanting the Om Mani Padme Hum is the process of planting the precious Mani Seed into the Padma soil. Daily cultivation by righteous living is the source of fertiliser for the precious Mani Seed to grow into a beneficent tree that bears “fruits” and provide shelter, shade and protection to benefit all living beings in the vicinity.
THE SPIRIT OF KUAN YIN
What and how to practise in this chaotic time.
OM MANI PADME HUM
It is not easy to gain confidence. It is not easy to gain faith. It is not easy to put your mind to a state of deep concentration. All these and other prerequisites must be trained, must be gained through long periods of training in more than a single lifetime.
THE WAY OUT OF ONE’S LIFE NIGHTMARES
by following the spiritual path with unwavering faith, endurance and wisdom to understand fully the reality of life, to conquer all difficulties and towards greater realisation and reaping richer experiences out of life!
SEE LIFE WITH THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE
- Learn how to relate to others so that the seeds of bodhicitta may flourish and grow
- Live by the Dharma and strive to remove causes of misery
- Learn from the Teachings of the Wise and Great One
- Develop the divine nature to create harmony, recognise the good and forgive the faults in others
- Do not judge, learn to treat all equally
MIND IS ALL
OM MANI PADME HUM
Mind is all! Everything arises from the mind and so it is the mind that must be cleansed, guarded and protected. From what? The mental poisons which colour it!
