Question asked by Stefan Janssen
Hello. My name is Stefan Jansen.
I'm a 34 year old guy from the netherlands.
The last fifteen years were difficult for me.
A lot of inner and outer obstacles.
I live in a province with no dharma centers.
So I try to study the lam rim from book's or via internet.
I also try to pray, bring offerings and meditate regular.
The question that i have is;
If i can visualize Dukkar while i chanting;
The Reversing Ritual of white Umbrella ?
Composed by Lekyi Dorje.
This is a de-spell text that i try to read every day.
To clean myself and my environment of all kinds of negative energy.
And to find trust and inspiration in the Dharma.
I've got a feeling that i have a connection with Sitatapatra.
And i really want to make her practice my main practice.
But i don't no how ?
So,
Is it o.k. to visualize her above my crown while reading and chanting the text
and her Mantra ?
And after that visualizing her throw my main channel to my hart.
Where she sits on a open lotus before the lotus closes ?
In the last years i tried different practices.
But I hope to find one practice that i can do for the rest of this life.
I find it very hard to do a practice without a guru who instruct you.
So i hope and pray that i can get an answer to this question.
I also want to thank Tsem Tulku Rinpoche and his team for the inspiring work.
Greetings,
Stefan.
Dear Stefan
You might want to take a look at this text for Dukkar http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/sadhana-prayers.html#dukkar
Yes, one may dissolve the yidam (meditational deity) to our heart channel. It will be good to create the causes to be connected to a Guru.
wishing you all the best
