Download or read book The Great Compassion Mantra written by Shanjian Dashi and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Compassion Mantra of Natural Wisdom is a powerful Mantra developed by Mahayana Buddhists. This Mantra is said to have the power to liberate all sentient creatures from the Hell of Suffering, delivering them from Ignorance. In this first volume in a series of three, Master Shanjian Dashi presents a lucid account of the problem of suffering in psychological terms and how the mantra is designed to counter its effects and eventually eliminate its grip on the mind. There follows a line-by-line explanation of the Mantra's 68 lines, complete with the Hand-and-Eye preparations that make the mantra effective in coupling Benevolent Action with Wisdom. The Great Compassion Mantra is a verbal form of Dharana, a Sutra which uses syllables to transmit a powerful and effective transcendental message, creating a special state of consciousness. The transcendental message and the special state of consciousness set the conditions necessary for major changes in Attitudes, Intentions, and Actions. It awakens Benevolent Love, Compassion, and Gladness, engenders the Liberation of Wisdom, and facilitates the elimination of Suffering and Stress. The Mantra and the Commentary provide then the knowledge which leads to personal growth and the firm establishment of Wisdom, and can therefore be used to completely change the focus of one's own life or the lives of others who are open and receptive to what we can call Cosmic Consciousness.

Book Synopsis The Heart of Compassion by : Dilgo Khyentse
Download or read book The Heart of Compassion written by Dilgo Khyentse and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2007-05-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tibetan Buddhist master shares his commentary on Santideva's Way of the Bodhisattva, illuminating the path to enlightenment and the meaning of true compassion What would be the practical implications of caring more about others than about yourself? This is the radical theme of this extraordinary set of instructions, a training manual composed in the fourteenth century by the Buddhist hermit Ngulchu Thogme, here explained in detail by one of the great Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century, Dilgo Khyentse. In the Mahayana tradition, those who have the courage to undertake the profound change of attitude required to develop true compassion are called bodhisattvas. Their great resolve—to consider others’ needs as paramount, and thus to attain enlightenment for the sake of all living creatures—carries them beyond the limits imposed by the illusions of “I” and “mine,” culminating in the direct realization of reality, transcending dualistic notions of self and other. This classic text presents ways that we can work with our own hearts and minds, starting wherever we find ourselves now, to unravel our small-minded preoccupations and discover our own potential for compassion, love, and wisdom. Many generations of Buddhist practitioners have been inspired by these teachings, and the great masters of all traditions have written numerous commentaries. Dilgo Khyentse’s commentary is probably his most extensive recorded teaching on Mahayana practice.

Download or read book In Praise of Great Compassion written by Dalai Lama and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Dalai Lama’s definitive teaching on compassion in this fifth volume of the Dalai Lama’s definitive Library of Wisdom and Compassion series. In Praise of Great Compassion, the fifth volume of the Library of Wisdom and Compassion, continues the Dalai Lama’s teachings on the path to awakening. While previous volumes focused on our present situation and taking responsibility for creating the causes of happiness, this volume concerns opening our hearts and generating the intention to make our lives meaningful by benefiting others. We are embedded in a universe with other living beings, all of whom have been kind to us in one way or another. More than any other time in human history, we depend on one another to stay alive and flourish. When we look closely, it becomes apparent that we have been the recipient of great kindness. Wanting to repay others’ kindness, we cultivate a positive attitude by contemplating the four immeasurables of love, compassion, empathic joy, and equanimity, and the altruistic intention of bodhicitta. We learn to challenge the self-centered attitude that leads to misery and replace it with a more realistic perspective enabling us to remain emotionally balanced in good and bad times. In this way, all circumstances become favorable to the path to awakening.
