Standing Avalokitesvara, 700s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Korean Art

This small gilt-bronze statue represents the Bodhisattva of Compassion (관음보살 in Korean), an enlightened being who helps devotees on their path. It features two prominent attributes: a water sprinkler (kundika in Sanskrit) and a miniature image of Buddha Amitābha in its jeweled crown. Its sweet and gentle smile accentuates this celestial being’s immeasurable compassion for human suffering. Created during the Unified Silla period, a high point of the spread of Buddhist teachings, this kind of miniature gilt-bronze statue was often used as a portable object of devotion by traveling Buddhist monks. Size: Overall: 18.5 x 6.5 x 4.5 cm (7 5/16 x 2 9/16 x 1 ¾ in.) Medium: Gilt-bronze

" "Monks, a friend endowed with seven qualities is worth associating with. Which seven? He gives what is hard to give. He does what is hard to do. He endures what is hard to endure. He reveals his secrets to you. He keeps your secrets. When misfortunes strike, he doesn't abandon you. When you're down & out, he doesn't look down on you. A friend endowed with these seven qualities is worth associating with."

He gives what is beautiful,

hard to give,

does what is hard to do,

endures painful, ill-spoken words.

His secrets he tells you,

your secrets he keeps.

When misfortunes strike,

he doesn't abandon you;

when you're down & out,

doesn't look down on you.

A person in whom these traits are found,

is a friend to be cultivated

by anyone wanting a friend. " ( AN 7.35, Mitta Sutta: A Friend )

“Master of the Universe, grant me the ability to be alone; May it be my custom to go outdoors each day among the trees and the grasses, among all growing things and there may I be alone and enter into prayer to talk with the one that I belong to. Know that every shepherd and shepherdess has a unique nigun (melody) for each of the grasses and for each place where they herd. For each and every grass has its own song and from these songs of the grasses the shepherds compose their songs.”

— Rabbi Nachman, Lekutai Moharan Tanina 63

Poetry On View

I pray the Holy Lama to bless me

I don’t want a title I am just Yogi

Many of debates dharma

But few of us deal with the real drama call samsara

I am not a victim of my own karma

I fortunate that sitting on rock he show me mahamudra

My poetry won’t satisfy scholar

But we need to stop be on wrong view

Wisdom from the siddha took as path

Follow Tilo Naro Mila

Enlightenment is here an now

Whatever you call it Dzogchen or Mahamudra

Lot spiritual tool

But no of them to kill our ego fool

No one is spiritual police what is wrong what is right

Why always end in eight of hate dharma fight

This is that how come the blinds can see the elephant

We are all kids is search of diamount

Hoping the Holy one to sort out hollow life

In edge of the knife we need to understand we are buddha no drama no big deal

It’s organic only you know it feel so chill

This body is empty yet full

This mind is clear yet dull

Many gonna think I am crazy

Like Mila and Lama barry

The Wheel of Fortune also flew out of the deck, so that will be my starting point for the general reading, the wheel of fortune is a symbol of destiny and destination, of good luck and bad luck, of the ups and downs of life and fate. Karma. Everything is in motion, turning and floating, constantly changing, accidental and uncontrollable. karma, If we struggle against the flow of life, we become those struggling to ascend the Wheel, or even one of those crushed beneath it. However, if we realize our own power to create a beneficial future and trust in that vision, we shall master of our own universe.

"Most of my life I was a Highly Sensitive with untrained mediumship gifts, I was enveloped in picking up on an unseen realm of energies. I spent most of my life being a sponge not knowing what was me or not.Now I have the awareness of how beautifully separate we are from everything. I learned how to quickly recovery from stepping into the collective energy. How to engage intimately, empathically without compromising the integrity of my personal boundaries"

Heart Sutra in the Siddham script

[small-hero]

This prajnaparamita, this inexpressibility, is our human experience. It is not particularly regarded as a peaceful state of mind or a disturbed one.

Pema Chödrön, The Places That Scare You (via seraphsound)

[small-hero]

Heavenly mandarava flowers And mahamandarava flowers rain down. From countless Buddhalands Come Shakras and Brahmas like the Ganges sands; Chandana and aloe-wood incense Filter through the air, Falling in profusion Like flocks of birds flying down from the sky, Scattered as an offering to the Buddhas.

Scriptures: Mahayana Sutras

The Diamond Sutra and Flower-Adorned Sutra

The Diamond Sutra is the abbreviated form translating Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita-Sutra (”The Diamond Sutra of the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom”). Its primary theme is the emptiness and ephemeral nature of all phenomena. The diamond, as a precious and coveted jewel, can have a negative sense, symbolizing that which impedes the wisdom that leads to enlightenment. The sutra narrates a dialogue between the Buddha and Subhuti, an old monk, who inquires about the nature of perception. The text is prolix, repetitive, and difficult to understand, but it contains one passage of exceptional clarity. In it Buddha enumerates the virtues of a bodhisattva (generosity, morality, patience, courage, concentration, and wisdom) and affirms that the first of these is the greatest, since the future Buddha will radiate compassion without boundaries or hope of reward, solely to help others along the path.

The Avatamsaka-Sutra (The Flower-Adorned Sutra) describes the world as a conjoining of intimately connected and inter-dependent phenomena, whose interactions are infinite. This universe, which has neither temporal nor spatial limitations, is termed the “net of Indra,” a metaphor that conveys the matrix of existence and forms the speculative basis of the two Mahayana schools: Chinese Huayan and Japanese Kegon.
