This past Monday, Guru Rinpoche Day, I was able to attend my first Ganachakra. It was an amazing experience. Have I mentioned how much I love the Vajra Kula?

The Heart Chakra Is The Fourth Primary Chakra According To Hindu Tradition Or Tantric Buddhism. Heart Chakra; Anahata In Sanskrit, Is Located At Heart Level. Anahata Translates - "Unhurt, Unbeaten & Unstruck. It’s Our Love Center For Ourselves And Others. This Is Where We Develop Inner Forgiveness, Empathy, Joy And Compassion. #anahatachakra #anahata #heartchakrameditation #heartchakralove #hinduism #hindumeditation #tantricmeditation #tantricbuddhism #empathy #compassion #forgiveyourself #forgiveness #womenmeditate #meditationforall #meditationforbeginners ##consciousnessawakening #deepmeditationtribe #gaymeditation #raiseyourvibration #menmeditate #higherawakening #higherconsciousness https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQ6-ffpykw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Guru Padma Sambhava popularly known as Guru Rinpoche, the precious teacher, was a powerful Tantric Buddhist Master. He was invited to Tibet in the eighth century to propagate Buddhism. Padmasambhava taught many disciples who also became perfect masters of Tantric Buddhism. He is said to have had twenty five great disciples who were instrumental in preserving the sacred teachings of Lord Buddha to the present day.

Isn’t Buddhism atheistic?

Popular Misconception: Buddhism was originally an atheistic religion and some theistic branches (i.e. Vajrayana) developed later. Atheistic Buddhism is closest to what Siddhartha Gautama, the historical buddha, believed.

Reality: Buddhism is fundamentally a nontheistic religion and was nontheistic from the beginning, which makes it compatible with atheism or certain forms of theism. Siddhartha Gautama believed that devas do exist and also taught the dharma to them.

“Buddhahood and Nibbana can be attained without any help from an external source. Therefore, Buddhists can practise their religion with or without the deities.” - Venerable K. Sri Dhammananda Maha Thera [x]

Nontheism =/= Atheism

Ardhanarishvara ————————————————— “In Buddhism it doesn’t matter who you are- man, woman, straight, gay, lesbian, transsexual. It's not about those issues; its about how you work with your mind. If you have a mind, then whether it's straight or gay or lesbian or whatever doesn’t matter- mind’s nature is mind's nature. If the nature of mind is enlightened, then there you go." ———————————————————————— By Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche ————————————————— #luckythanka #paubha #vajrayana #vajra #yana #thangka #art #painting #vajrayanabuddhism #tibetanbuddhism #tibetanart #newariart #newari #vajradhara #bodhisattva #buddha #tantra #tantrayana #tantricsexuality #tantric #tantricbuddhism #shiva #shakti #gay #pride #dzogchen #shakta #gayrights #humanrights #om (at Lucky Thanka Art & Craft) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7NCmeahr6M/?igshid=1gwxij072ev6t

I am loving the Kula I recently joined. There was a Nilambharadara empowerment this past Saturday and it was then that I realized how wonderful the Lamas are in that group.

Pilgrimage hike to Paro Taktsang, Tiger’s Nest. I have lost count of the times I have paid homage to this spiritual wonder of Bhutan. The sanctity of this iconic spiritual wonder starts with the 8th century visit to this place by Guru RInpoche. The greats of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism have paid homage to Tiger’s Nest by offering prayers and practice. Many masters have also discovered invaluable treasures at Taktsang. May we be able to preserve the beauty and the blessings of this spiritual heritage for all times to come.

My tips:

Start early

Carry water. I carry coffee and chaai. Apply sun screen liberally. Dress for the season. In winter, I layer myself. In the summer, an umbrella is a must. If you have hiking/trekking boots, wear them. You’ll appreciate them especially when you are descending. The guards won’t let you in T shirts. Cameras and phones are not allowed inside the monastery.

Prayer flags are gentle reminders, bringing us back to our essence and helping us to open our hearts and minds. When we hang prayer flags, we create the intention for more kindness for ourselves and all beings. #buddhism #prayers #prayerflags #buddhism #bhutanbuddhist #colorfulbhutantravels #vajrayana #tantricbuddhism #mahayanabuddhism www.colorfulbhutan.com (at Colorful Bhutan Travels)
