The

Getting
to Know Buddha, Part III
By
The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
"The
years passed, and the time for the fulfillment of the prophecy
drew near—if Prince Siddhartha did not become a monk
within seven days, then he would become a Chakravartin king,
a universal ruler who would wield power over the whole universe.”
In
Part III of his commentary on the life of Shakyamuni Buddha,
The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche vividly portrays the details
of Prince Siddhartha¹s life as he undertakes the final
stages in his courageous journey of awakening. Excerpt.

The Awakening of Virtue: the Blessings
and Benefits of Pilgrimage
Every single moment of the Buddha¹s life, from the moment
of his birth, was one in which his mind was traveling in a
harmonious direction with the dharma. From this perspective,
with the dawning of each instant comes an opportunity to see
that the same opportunity exists for us.

The
Buddha Turns the Wheel of Dharma in Sarnath
The
pilgrimage sites of Sarnath and Vulture¹s Peak exemplify
the Buddha¹s awakening extending precisely and compassionately
into the world of despair and torment. The profound teachings
unfurled there, and the paths that they pointed out, reversed
the pattern of confusion in a tangible, enduring way. Excerpt.

Spontaneous
Action: The Conduct of Mahamudra
The Ganges Mahamudra - Part II
Any
action performed with this view of Mahamudra that is free
of conceptualization about the three elements of the action,
which are the subject, the object and the action between them,
enables us to escape from the suffering of samsara and obtain
the omniscience of liberation.

Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche
Song:
Unchanging Sky¹s Beautiful Melody
“Just as the sky¹s stars and planets can shine
on a clear lake” the songs of Khenpo Rinpoche always
illuminate and inspire joy.
