When: Saturday, July 6, 2024, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm, EDT online
Celebrate the 89th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai with us. We will be meditating on the practice of His Holiness the Dalai Lama being one with Compassion Buddha Avalokiteshvara. This practice includes visualizations that inspire the development of compassion and wisdom as well as repeating the profound name mantra of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and the most popular mantra in Tibet, the mantra of compassion OM MANI PADME HUM.
“The Inseparability of the Spiritual Master and Avalokiteshvara: A Source of All Powerful Attainments” was written by the current Dalai Lama when he was nineteen years old, after repeated requests from a cabinet minister. Many feel the Dalai Lama is an emanation of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig in Tibetan), the personification of the compassion of all Buddhas. Because of this close connection, practicing this meditation can make both the compassion and the wisdom of the Dalai Lama palpably accessible.
You can watch the commentary that Geshe Sonam gave about this practice last summer here.
This is the practice Lama Yeshe gives commentary to in Becoming the Compassion Buddha.
We will also recite some Medicine Buddha mantras for the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama as has been advised by the FPMT.
