share one if you please

Quote:

Grandfather,
Look at our brokenness.
We Know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way.

We know that we are the ones
Who are divided,
And we are the ones
Who must come back together
To walk in the Sacred Way.

Grandfather,
Sacred One,
Teach us love, compassion and honour
That we may heal the earth
And heal each other.





--an Ojibwa prayer

A dualising mind breeds doubt, hesitancy and insecurity,
And with the development of subtle craving (in compensation),
Overt compulsive karmic propensities gradually crystallise.
Food, wealth and clothing, home and friends,
The five stimuli of sensual pleasure, and loving companions--
Obsessive desires beget torments of frustration;
Compulsive desires are but worldly delusion,
And the karma of an ego craving objects is never exhausted.
When the fruit of craving ripens,
Born as a hungry ghost tormented by frustrated desire,
Oh, the misery of hunger and thirst!
Through this my prayer, the Buddha's aspiration,
All sentient beings possessed by compulsive craving,
Neither setting aside and rejecting the pangs of frustrated desire
Nor accepting and identifying with compulsive craving,
Should release the stress inherent in dualistic perception
So that Knowledge may resume its natural primacy--
Let all beings attain All-discriminating Awareness.

                                                                           
                                                                              Tibetan Prayer of Kuntu Sangpo,
                                                                              from the holy text Kunsang Monlam

:buddha2:  :eyeball:  :buddha:  :heart:  :buddha3:

/Start

In order to demonstrate the teachings of the buddhas
upon the eight illustrations of magical illusion
I have collected'the elixir of sutra, tantra and oral instruction and expressed them as stainless sunbeams.
Through that virtue may all beings without exception perceive all situations as unoriginated illusory evanescence, and achieve higher and higher understanding
beautified by the buddha-trikaya.

Abandoning the intellect that craves security
in what is only dream, magic show, mirage,
reflection, echo and apparition,
let primal awareness and spontaneity regain their primacy.
Once obsessed by the carnal city and emotions, now fled from the thick jungle of uncertainty to cool groves far distant,
let the heavens extol and acclaim those babes.

May this, my mind, loathing distraction,
in happy seclusion in the peaceful forest, focussing only upon real meaning,
achieve the immaculate insight of the exalted.
In this forest of flowers, leaves and fruit,
enhanced by the clear waters of a renunciate lifestyle,
may this my embodiment of unique occasion and right juncture, walk the path of freedom to the treasure of profound meaning.

In this brief transit, until I attain my goal,
practising virtue in this world of men,
on the path of peace, realizing skilful means,
may I release incalculable beings from this fictive world.

This method is the essence of the buddhas' profound teaching and as it carries the import of all experiential truth,
with desire for freedom, we should strive from the heart, day and night, without slackening, living it fully.
Those of later generations, fortunate and faithful, should depend upon these words at all times,
and crossing over the worldly ocean of self and other, the dual purpose of all beings is spontaneously achieved.

This yogi with all-penetrating eyes,
seeing the meaning of sutra and tantra
and the essential meaning of all precepts, Drimey Wozer, graced by stainless radiance, composed this text in a cave at Gangri Tokar.
This sun of dharma with its myriad stainless rays-
primal awareness shining-dispels the darkness of unknowing, emptying the ocean of samsara to its last drop,
revealing the unbounded continent of freedom.


/End

Torei Zenji’s Bodhisattva Vow.

Disciples,
When I humbly observe the true nature of things, all are the marvelous manifestations of the Tathagata’s truth.
Atom by atom, instant by instant, all are none other than his mysterious radiance.

Because of this our virtuous ancestors extended loving care and reverence to even such beings as birds and beasts.

How, then, can we be but humbly grateful for the food, drink and clothing that nourishes and protects us throughout the day, these being in essence the warm skin and flesh of the great masters, the incarnate compassion of the Buddha?


If it is so even with inanimate objects, how much more should we be kind and merciful to human beings, even those who are foolish.

Though they become our sworn enemies, reviling and persecuting us, we should regard them as Bodhisattva manifestations who, in their great compassion, are employing skillful means to help emancipate us from the sinful karma we have produced over countless kalpas through our biased, self-centered views..


If we awaken in ourselves this deep, pure faith, offering humble words and taking sincere refuge in the Buddha, then with
faith, offering humble words and taking sincere refuge in the Buddha, then with every thought there will bloom a lotus flower, each with a Buddha.


These Buddhas will establish Pure Lands everywhere and reveal the radiance of the Tathagata beneath our very feet.
May we extend this mind throughout the universe, so that we and all sentient beings may equally bring to fruition the Seeds of Wisdom.

Here’s a link to the Sūtra book I’ve used throughout my days.

From the Sogenji Monestary/Temple (Rinzai Zen Buddhist Sect):

Great Spirit,

grant that I may not

criticize my neighbor

until I have walked a mile

in his moccasins

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.


--Rabindranath Tagore
