(Oleh Tsem Rinpoche dan Beatrix Ooi)

Dupa memainkan peran penting dalam Buddhisme sejak lama. Tradisi Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana Zen, Buddhisme Tibet dan lainnya menganggap dupa sebagai dasar substansi persembahan yang umum bagi para Buddha dan mahluk tercerahkan.

Menurut sejarah Buddhisme, dupa digunakan untuk pertama kalinya pada jaman Buddha Shakyamuni, ketika seorang wanita bernama Magadha Sangmo mempersembahkan dupa dan berdoa untuk memohon sang Buddha mengunjungi desa tempat tinggalnya. Magadha Sangmo adalah putri dari penyandang dana utama sang Buddha, Suddatta. Seperti sang ayah, ia memiliki keyakinan yang kuat terhadap Buddha Shakyamuni dan merupakan pengabdi yang setia.

Setelah menikah dan pindah ke desa dimana Buddhisme belum dipraktikkan, ia berharap untuk bertemu dengan gurunya, sang Buddha, lagi. Jadi pada suatu hari, ia naik ke atap rumah mertuanya, mempersembahkan dupa dan dengan tulus berdoa kepada sang Buddha untuk mengunjunginya. Setelah mendengarkan doa tersebut, Buddha Shakyamuni, bersama dengan rombongannya, turun dari langit untuk memenuhi permohonan Magadha Sangmo. Konon, setelah bertemu dengan sang Buddha dan mendengarkan ajarannya, seluruh desa menjadi penganut Buddhisme. Dengan cara ini, permohonan tulus dari Magadha Sangmo kepada sang Buddha juga memberikan manfaat kepada warga setempat dan generasi selanjutnya.

Magadha Sangmo melafalkan bait berikut ketika berdoa kepada sang Buddha:

MA LU SEM CHEN KUN GYI GON GYUR CHING
DU TE PUNG CHAY MI ZAY JOM DZAY LHA
NGO NAM MA LU YANG DA KYEN GYUR PAY
CHOM DEN KOR CHAY NAY DIR SHEG SU SOL

Pelindung semua mahluk tanpa kecuali,
Penakhluk ilahi dari berbagai kekuatan negatif,
Dewa, yang maha mengetahui,
Bhagawan dan rombongan, kumohon datanglah kemari.

Praktik sangsol atau persembahan dupa kepada Dorje Shugden memainkan peran penting karena Magadha Sangmo adalah salah satu kehidupan terdahulu Dorje Shugden.

 

Persembahan Dupa Dalam Tradisi Tibet

Dalam Buddhisme Tibet, seperti halnya tradisi Buddhisme lainnya, dupa digunakan sebagai persembahan kepada Tiga Permata (Buddha, Dharma, dan Sangha) selama berabad-abad. Dalam ritual, dupa digunakan untuk memurnikan substansi persembahan seperti air, makanan dan cahaya.

Dalam ilmu pengobatan tradisional Tibet, dupa digunakan sebagai substansi obat untuk menyembuhkan penyakit tertentu. Karena kualitas menyembuhkan dari bahan-bahannya, dupa dari Tibet digunakan untuk membantu meringankan dan menenangkan pikiran yang terganggu karena depresi, gelisah, khawatir dan stress. Dokter ilmu pengobatan Tibet mendapatkan pengetahuan mereka dari teks medis Tibet yang berasal dari Empat Tantra, dikenal sebagai Gyudzhi dalam bahasa Tibet. Ini adalah Tantra Akar, Tantra Pencerahan, Tantra Instruksi dan Tantra Akhir.

Menurut teori medis dari Tibet, semua hal di alam semesta terbuat dari lima elemen: Sa (tanah), Me (api), Chu (air), Lung (angin) dan Namkha (ruang). Akan tetapi, hanya empat elemen pertama yang memainkan peran dalam klasifikasi penyakit medis. Dupa juga dapat digunakan dalam konteks non-relijius yaitu untuk penyembuhan.

Sangsol: Ritual Persembahan Dupa

Persembahan dupa mengingatkan kita untuk memegang sumpah dengan tulus dan menciptakan sebab bagi kita untuk melakukannya. Sumpah ini termasuk sumpah Perlindungan, Pratimoksha, Bodhisattva dan Tantra. Banyak biksu luhur yang konon tubuhnya mengeluarkan aroma harum karena mereka memegang sumpah mereka dengan baik dan telah mencapai kesempurnaan moralitas. Lama Tsongkhapa yang luhur, pendiri aliran Gelug dalam Buddhisme Tibet dikenal sebagai salah seorang yang memiliki kualitas ini.

Dalam ajaran Buddhisme, moralitas dianggap sebagai salah satu dari Enam Kesempurnaan bagi praktisi Bodhisattva. Karenanya, moralitas adalah salah satu persyaratan untuk mencapai Pencerahan Penuh. Jadi, ketika kita memberikan persembahan dupa kepada sang Buddha, kita mendapatkan pahala untuk menjadi seperti mereka dan memegang sumpah kita dengan sempurna. Pencapaian yang tinggi tergantung pada dipegangnya tiga macam sumpah (Pratimoksha, Bodhisattva dan tantra) yang kita terima dari guru yang berkualifikasi.

Dengan memegang sumpah ini, kita mengarahkan kebiasaan kita menuju sebuah realita yang lebih tinggi. Realita ini terdiri dari tindakan yang tidak mementingkan diri sendiri berdasarkan pandangan yang benar, dan bukannya proyeksi egois yang mendorong pada terciptanya karma dan mengalami akibat dari karma tersebut. Karma dan buahnya mengikat seseorang pada samsara tanpa akhir. Proyeksi yang salah adalah cara kita untuk melihat dunia secara terdistorsi dan akibatnya, tindakan kita juga terdistorsi dan mencelakakan diri dan orang lain. Distorsi dalam hal ini adalah pandangan yang berfokus pada diri sendiri dan menganggap hal tersebut sebagai fenomena yang permanen.

Semua cara pandang yang melihat ‘saya’ sebagai lebih penting dari mahluk lain adalah terdistorsi karena dalam istilah awam, hal ini membawa pada egoisme yang lebih dalam. Dalam tingkatan manapun di masyarakat, egoisme tidaklah bermanfaat. Egoisme adalah mendapatkan hasil dengan ‘tidak menghiraukan’ kebutuhan mahluk lain. Karenanya, mempersembahkan dupa membantu mengumpulkan pahala yang didasarkan pada aspirasi Bodhisattva dan membantu kita menyadari pandangan yang lebih tinggi dan melihat kesalahan dari melayani diri sendiri dan bukannya memenuhi kebutuhan semua mahluk hidup. Melayani diri adalah sebab dari semua celaka dan penderitaan, dan melayani mahluk lain adalah sebab dari semua kebahagiaan di samsara dan Nirvana. Karenanya, memegang samaya, kata-kata kehormatan, janji dan sumpah membawa kita pada pandangan yang lebih tinggi, tindakan yang lebih baik dan memudahkan kita dalam merubah kebiasaan buruk menjadi kebiasaan baik dan pada akhirnya kita akan menciptakan lebih sedikit sebab yang mencelakakan. Lebih sedikit tindakan yang mencelakakan, lebih sedikit juga sebab bagi kita dan orang-orang di sekitar kita untuk menderita. Bila kita tidak berubah, bagaimana kita bisa dengan tulus melayani mahluk lain. Karenanya, mempersembahkan dupa dengan kualitas terbaik dengan motivasi tertinggi mungkin terlihat seperti laku spiritual yang sederhana, tetapi hal ini membawa kita pada pandangan yang lebih tinggi, membantu melaksanakan praktik kita dengan integritas dan konsistensi, menciptakan pahala dan kemampuan untuk memegang sumpah yang membawa pada pencapaian dan cara pandang yang lebih tinggi dalam pikiran kita. Mempersembahkan dupa harus dilakukan setiap hari dan secara konsisten dengan keyakinan penuh pada Dharma tertinggi yang membebaskan pikiran kita dari semua penderitaan seperti sang Buddha yang telah berhasil melintasi samsara. Yang tidak akan kembali ke samsara dalam bentuk mahluk menderita yang membawa penderitaan lebih jauh bagi mahluk lain. Persembahan dupa adalah praktik bermakna yang tidak boleh dianggap remeh.

Teks sangsol yang paling awal berasal dari abad ke 8 pada saat biara pertama di Tibet yaitu Biara Samye didirikan. Biara ini dibangun dengan dukungan Raja Trisong Detsen, Guru Tantra yang luhur, Guru Rinpoche, dan Guru Sutra yang luhur, Santarakshita. Teks aslinya disembunyikan dan baru ditemukan berabad-abad kemudian oleh para pengabdi. Perlu diingat bahwa mempersembahkan sangsol atau dupa adalah mirip. Sang adalah dupa dalam bentuk bubuk atau telah ditumbuk dalam jumlah besar. Dupa sendiri berbentuk batangan.

Dalam aliran Gelugpa, ada beberapa teks sangsol yang ditulis oleh para guru cendikiawan Buddhisme Tibet seperti Dalai Lama ke 5, Lama Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, Lama Yeshe Wangpo dan Yang Suci Pancen Lama ke 4, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen. Versi singkat dari persembahan sangsol kepada Dorje Shugden (seperti yang tercantum di bawah ini) ditulis oleh seorang guru cendikiawan, Yang Mulia Serkong Dorje Chang.

 

Kapan Sebaiknya Melakukan Sangsol?

Sangsol biasanya dilakukan di ruang terbuka pada saat perayaan keagamaan dan saat-saat spesial seperti pernikahan, ulang tahun, Losar (Tahun Baru Tibet), pada saat puja dan lainnya. Menurut tradisi Tibet, dupa biasanya dibakar dalam sebuah sangpur, sebuah wadah berbentuk guci untuk membakar dupa. Sangpur biasanya dibangun di tempat yang tinggi, contohnya di pegunungan dan di atas bukit. Sangpur juga biasanya dibangun di daerah dimana dewa setempat dan para naga berdiam. Hal ini dilakukan agar ketika sangsol dilakukan, lingkungan sekitar termasuk para mahluk yang tinggal di sana turut terberkati oleh energi ilahi.

Secara tradisi, sangsol dilakukan untuk memurnikan karma yang dikumpulkan karena melanggar samaya. Walau pada umumnya samaya merujuk pada hubungan dengan pembimbing spiritual kita, dalam hal ini samaya juga bisa berarti hubungan dengan saudara, saudari dan rekan Dharma. Karenanya, menjaga hubungan yang harmonis dengan para individu ini sangatlah dianjurkan.

Saat lain dimana sangsol dilakukan adalah untuk memurnikan lingkungan dalam rumah. Sebelum acara penting dimulai, Yang Mulia Tsem Rinpoche menginstruksikan agar murid-muridnya melakukan sang di ruangan atau di rumah. Tujuannya adalah untuk menghilangkan kesulitan dari hadirin yang akan berpartisipasi dalam acara, contohnya, agar mereka yang ingin bertemu untuk meminta nasihat atau ajaran berpikiran jernih. Melakukan sang setiap hari di rumah, kantor, atau tempat tertentu untuk menghilangkan energi negatif dan meningkatkan energi positif bagi mereka yang tinggal atau bekerja di sana. Bila ada energi atau entitas negatif di lingkungan kita, maka persembahan dupa kepada para Buddha dan menyebarkan asap dupa di seluruh ruang rumah atau kantor dapat membantu menenangkan mereka. Ini adalah cara yang ampuh untuk menyegarkan kembali energi yang hilang atau terpolusi di rumah atau di kantor kita. Hal ini bisa dilakukan bahkan oleh mereka yang tidak relijius. 

Selain memurnikan karma dan kesulitan seseorang, sangsol juga dilakukan pada lokasi konstruksi. Ketika sangsol dilakukan, mahluk bijaksana diundang ke lokasi tertentu untuk datang dan membantu kita. Dalam contoh Dorje Shugden, ketika energi ilahi beliau diundang, lingkungan dan mahluk yang tinggal di sana seperti dewa setempat dan naga yang mudah tersinggung ketika konstruksi berlangsung di daerah mereka juga akan terberkati. Ritual sangsol akan memberkati dan mendamaikan mereka dan karenanya, kesulitan yang mungkin timbul dan kecelakaan yang bisa terjadi karena para mahluk ini bisa dicegah.

 

Bagaimana Cara Memulai?

Sebelum melakukan sangsol, ada beberapa poin penting yang harus diperhatikan:

  1. Kualitas dupa atau sang yang dipersembahkan harus yang terbaik sesuai dengan kemampuan kita. Dan yang paling penting, substansinya harus bersih dan murni.
  2. Dupa tidak boleh diinjak oleh hewan atau manusia pada proses persiapannya.
  3. Menurut kebudayaan dan tradisi Tibet, dupa biasanya terbuat dari jintan saru, konifer, daun dan kayu harum, pakis, cendana merah atau putih, agar, pinus, pohon cedar, minyak mur, amber, kemenyan, teratai salju, kembang sepatu, safron, orpine merah, borneol, rhododendron dan banyak substansi lainnya. Kebanyakan, ramuan obat-obatan dicampur dengan mentega, tsampa (tepung barli yang telah dipanggang) dan gula dibakar bersamaan. Mereka yang tinggal di perkotaan dan kesulitan mendapatkan bahan-bahan alami seperti ini bisa mempersembahkan campuran sederhana jintan saru dan dupa pelindung. (Klik di sini untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut mengenai berbagai jenis dupa.)
  4. Bahan-bahan ini harus dalam kondisi murni, bebas dari polutan seperti alkohol, bawang bombay dan bawang putih.

Persembahan Sang di Kechara Forest Retreat

Adalah praktik yang umum untuk selalu menetapkan motivasi yang baik sebelum berdoa atau melakukan pekerjaan berpahala. Hal yang sama harus diterapkan dalam ritual sangsol. Bagi mereka yang belum mengenal konsep menetapkan motivasi yang baik, hal ini dilakukan untuk menetapkan maksud yang tulus untuk memberi manfaat bagi semua makhluk dengan mendedikasikan pahala yang dikumpulkan dari melakukan tindakan baik, dalam hal ini mempersembahkan dupa, bagi kesejahteraan mereka.

Setelah menetapkan motivasi yang benar, kita melafalkan bait-bait perlindungan sementara merenungkan Empat Hal Tak Terhingga. Praktisi yang telah menerima inisiasi Tantra dapat memvisualisasikan diri mereka sebagai yidam atau dewa meditasi masing-masing. Kemudian kita lanjutkan dengan doa sangsol, yang dimulai dengan melafalkan “OM AH HUM” tiga kali.

Bila kita memiliki permohonan tertentu kepada Dorje Shugden, permohonan ini bisa diucapkan pada saat pelafalan doa sangsol. Menjelang akhir doa sangsol, kita memohon para dewa setempat untuk kembali ke kediaman masing-masing. Kemudian kita menyelesaikan ritual sangsol dengan melafalkan bait-bait dedikasi.

Catatan: Walaupun ditulis dalam teks doa bahwa kita memurnikan para dewa ketika kita mempersembahkan dupa, makna sebenarnya adalah kita memurnikan karma negatif dan kesulitan kita melalui persembahan ini. Kalian bisa mempersembahkan sangsol setiap hari atau sesering mungkin sesuai keinginan anda. Tidak ada celaka atau pembatasan.

(Saat hendak memberikan persembahan sang, kumpulkan semua dupa yang ada; ulangi ayat Perlindungan dan Pencipta Pemikiran Bodhi tiga kali.)

HUM!
Menempatkan diri sebagai yidam, dari hati nurani,
Cahaya menyeruak memurnikan semua ketidaksempurnaan dalam dupa,
Harumnya memiliki lima khasiat yang utuh sempurna,
Memberi bahagia murni yang memenuhi jalan kesadaran.

OM AH HUM (ulangi sebanyak mungkin untuk memberkati)

HUM!
Segenap guru, utama dan silsilah, Tiga Permata,
Segenap Daka, Dakini dan Pelindung Dharma,
Yang utama Dorje Shugden dan pengiringnya,
Atas kekuatan tak terbatas, datanglah.

Juga segenap dewata kelahiran, perang dan pelindung,
Dewata sekeliling, roh dan penjaga dalam delapan kelompok,
Sekumpulan tamu yang layak kujamu,
Datanglah.

Semua duduk senang di tahta masing-masing
Untuk memenuhi tindakan yang dipercayakan sang yogi,
Asap dupa luar, dalam, benda-benda ikrar dan persembahan,
Terimalah semua ini dan genapilah tindakan yang kupercayakan.

KYE!
Agar, kayu Cendana, enam rempah obat dan tumbuhan,
Dengan bumbungan asap dari api kebijaksanaan yang memenuhi langit,
Memurnikan para lama utama dan silsilah Yidam dan Tiga Permata.
Memurnikan para Daka, Dakini dan Pelindung Dharma.

Memurnikan terutama Pelindung Dharma Utama Sang Penakluk Manjunatha
Dorje Shugden dan empat emanasi utamanya.
Memurnikan kelahiran, perang dan lima dewa pelindung.
Memurnikan dewata sekeliling, roh, penjaga dan kedelapan kelompok.

Dengan kuasa mempersembahkan dupa pada tamu mulia
Semoga semua rintangan, pertikaian dan samaya dimurnikan.
Semoga umur diperpanjang, pahala dan kuasa meningkat.
Jinakkan semua penyakit pada manusia dan hewan, kelaparan, perang dan pertengkaran.

Semoga panennya bagus dan hujan turun tepat waktu.
Taklukkan segala jenis iblis dari sisi gelap, tingkatkan yang terang,
Dan setelah kita berteman secara spontan dan mengalir,
Capailah semua tujuan seperti yang diharapkan.

KI KI SO SO, LHA GYEL LO!

HUM!
Tersenangkan dan puas, para tamu kembali ke alam mereka,
Kembali saat diminta untuk menggenapi tindakan.
Dengan janji ini ijinkan ku dan semua ibu para mahluk
Untuk menikmati kebahagiaan dan keberuntungan selamanya.

Gunung emas Ajaran Buddhis secara umum
Dan secara khusus, pandangan meditasi dan tindakan benar Je Rinpoche,
Tak tercela oleh pemikiran jahat, Anugrahkan keberuntungan
Agar di atas bumi, tanah dan alam bawah bersinar dengan pencerahan.

Untuk pemanggul Ajaran, semua sosok tertinggi,
Yang berbebankan pembebasan kehidupan dari tradisi murni itu,
Sang Geden, terasuk oleh hiasan mahkota, Buddha Ayah dan kedua Putranya,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan sehingga kehidupan mereka dan tindakan pencerahannya meningkat.

Komunitas Sangha hidup dalam harmoni dan disiplin yang murni,

Meningkat meninggi bak bulan menanjak,

Melalui jalan nalar, pernyataan berbukti dan perdebatan,
Dengan pemastian sempurna yang dilakukan ketiga pemikir,
Akan tiga macam obyek pemikiran tanpa pengecualian,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan Pramana, melahirkan para pemikir ulung melalui nalar.

Ketiga pengetahuan, empat persiapan, dan hasil dalam tindakan kebenaran tubuh,
Buah hasil kesadaran melalui delapan topik,
Jalan menuju kesadaran, maksud rahasia Prajnaparamita,

Berjalan di tapak yang menyenangkan para Buddha, bebas dari ekstrimitas ketidakberubahan dan ketidakadaan,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan Madhyamika, jalan yang mendalam.

Mendapatkan kepastian dalam cara kebangkitan yang hidup dan mati,
Sumber kasar dan halus darimana semua penyebab derita,
Pengetahuan akan delusi dan tipu muslihatnya, penyebarannya dan cara melepaskannya,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan Abhidharmakosha yang tak tercela.

Bagai dasar darimana semua ini tanpa pengecualian, tercipta,
Mempraktikkan ketiga pelatihan tinggi dengan mengandalkan
Batasan atas dasar perdebatan, pembuktian dan instruksi,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan 100 ribu ayat kitab Vinaya sang Buddha.

Sama bagusnya, sebagai sarana membantu lainnya,
Dengan menyingkirkan semua kebingungan dan ketidaktahuan dalam ketrampilan,
Seperti tata bahasa, astrologi, puisi, leksikografi, melukis, ketrampilan tangan dan ilmu obat,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan penguasaan yang bijak dan menyeluruh.

Khususnya, mohon berikan keberuntungan dalam pandangan, meditasi dan tindakan yang dijalankan bersamaan,
Yang tidak salah pada yang dituju, urutan dan makna dan penafsiran,
Dalam semua tahap dalam praktik pelepasan, Bodhicitta,
Cara pandang yang benar tentang kekosongan, keenam kesempurnaan, keempat cara pengumpulan.

Kemudian, dari seorang mahir dalam vajra, setelah menerima
Pendayaan keempat Tubuh, pintu masuk tantra,
Menjaga sumpah dan prinsip dengan teguh seperti menjaga hidupku sendiri,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan berupa keberhasilan dalam yoga empat sesi.

Kemudian, diperkenalkan pada sumber dasar; kelahiran, kematian dan bardo,
Yang akan dimurnikan, para pemurninya, dan buah pemurnian,
Berkati aku dengan keberuntungan untuk mencapai keseimbangan pada
roda-roda Mandala besar dan kecil yang dalam, dewata yang jelas, tingkat kematangan penciptaan.

Dengan pelafalan vajra, yang menembus pokok-pokok utama,
Membuka semua simpul saluran sehingga semua angin
Masuk, mengitari dan memudar dalam saluran utama; berkati aku dengan keberuntungan
Untuk mewujudkan jalan kebahagiaan-kekosongan, tahap penyelesaian yang membebaskan.

Cahaya jernih murni dan tidak murni berasal darinya
Dan hanya angin dan pikiran yang bangkit langsung bagai
Ilusi dalam bentuk pertanda,
Mohon berikan keberuntungan Yuganaddha, sang empunya tujuh ciri.

Singkat kata, bak melebur semua kebaikan yang terkumpul,
Dan berkat di samsara dan nirvana, keduanya duniawi dan surgawi,
Setelah diajar dengan iman teguh dan samaya murni,
Anugrahkan keberuntungan berupa kemujuran dan kecakapan.

(Membaca mantra demikian adalah cara untuk melebur semua berkat yang terkumpulkan di samsara dan nirvana menurut tradisi oral Geden. Penting untuk memiliki keyakinan yang stabil yang mampu menyatukan semua pencapaian tinggi dan biasa. Kemudian murnikan tambahan dan pengurangan dengan mantra 100 suku kata. Setelah memohon pengampunan atas kesalahan, mohonlah peninggalan tempat:)

HUM
Dewata Buddha Losang Vajradhara dan
Seluruh ladang pahala larut dalam diriku, sang yogi.
Semua kekotoran dan noda ketiga pintu termurnikan,
Ku menerima empat inisiasi dan menjadi bisa mencapai keempat Tubuh.

Para sosok duniawi, senang dengan persembahan sang,
Tanpa pikiran jahat dan saling cemburu,
Tapi dengan pikiran kasih, kembali ke persemayaman masing-masing.

Semoga kebajikan apapun yang telah aku kumpulkan
Membawa manfaat bagi Ajaran dan pengelana,
Dan terutama semoga menyebabkan intisari
Ajaran Guru Losang Dragpa yang tak pernah salah menjadi jelas selamanya!

(Bacalah doa apapun dan ayat-ayat yang membawa keberuntungan.)

    The Fourth Takpu, Pema Vajra Jampel Tenpai Ngodrub was a highly attained lama. He was also commonly known as Takpu Dorje Chang who had many authentic visions of the Buddhas. He had even received directly teachings from Buddhas. He had received direct visions of Tara herself. Tagpu Pemavajra had travelled to Tushita, the heavenly abode of Lama Tsongkhapa as requested by Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche where he received the complete cycle of teachings on Dorje Shugden. Tagpu Pemavajra was one such lama who was attained enough to receive these teachings for the benefit of others. He was instrumental in the development of the Dorje Shugden practice within the Gelug tradition. Wow he was able to astral travel to various pure lands and receive special teachings. Interesting biography of a great lama.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Amazing discovery a 2,000 year old Indian Buddhist document as it tell us how Buddhism took root in India. It’s the oldest Buddhist manuscripts yet discovered, dating from about the 1st century BCE to 3rd century CE. Found in the north-western outskirts of the Indian subcontinent an ancient Buddhist kindgom. The document, written on a birch bark scroll offers rare insight into the early history of Buddhism. Surviving manuscripts are rare only a few hundred are known to still exist. Understanding the history of the region helps us realize the significance of this scroll.

    Visited this stunning standing Manjushri which is located at the Manjushree Park at Chobhar, in Kathmandu, Nepal recently. Feeling so blessed able to see it , with my friends. Manjushree Park, one of most natural, historic attactive park within Kathmandu valley. Fantastic well managed picnic spot one should visit and not to be missed when one is at Kathmandu Nepal. Visible 33 ft. high black stone carved Manjushree statue .Manjushri is one of the most important iconic figures in Mahayana Buddhism. The powerful image representing ever-present wisdom plus the sword of awareness to cut off all delusion. An interesting story behind this Kathmandu Valley where mythology and geology intertwine.

    According to Buddhist teaching, prostration manifests the spiritual growth, faith of a person. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, prostration is an important element of practice. Traditionally, prostrations are more than a show of respect for Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Making prostration is a basic part of our lives in Buddhism. They are a method to purify our mind, or the antidote for ego-clinging. One of the general benefits of prostration is that in the future we will achieve a good rebirth . Prostration is a very powerful activity that can clear away obscuration of our body, speech, and mind as well as clearing our past and present negative karma. A huge merits for anyone doing prostration with proper visualization as well as the proper motivation.
    Having seen practitioners doing prostration along the road at Lhasa and reading teachings on prostration on blogs had motivated me to do retreat on it. Its was during the MCO back in 2020, I did a prostration retreat then. Even though it took me a longer time somehow I have completed 100,150k prostrations . Now I am still continue to do but not as many prostration as before.
    Well even though this is an old post I would to congratulate those involved in the prostration retreat at that time. It’s a good that Kechara is have a teachings on prostration and retreat .
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Religious freedom is one of the most fundamental of human rights. As religious freedom comes from the dignity of the human being. It allows different faiths and beliefs to flourish. It protects the rights of all religious groups and individuals. We must respect religious freedom and all religions must be tolerated. Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom. Respect for religious diversity is an essential element of any peaceful society. Offering of robes to Buddhist monks by the Muslim Mandalay Buddhist Monks is a very good example for everyone. Its such a wonderful way to foster religious harmony.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing .

    Beautiful memes paints a thousand words . May these memes brings awareness to more people understanding the pain and sufferings of those Dorje Shungden’s practitoners all these years. Religious freedom should be allowed without discrimination and segregation just because of individual practice of faith. May His Holiness the Dalai Lama restore the harmony, peace and unity among all practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche and writers for these memes.

    Kalmykia, is a republic of Russia, located in the North Caucasus region of Southern Russia. This is the only region in Europe where Buddhism is the predominant religion. The republic is home to the Kalmyks, a people of Mongol origin who are primarily of Buddhist faith. Buddhism is considered to be one of Russia’s traditional religions and is legally a part of Russian historical heritage. The region has been home to many major world religions and ideologies. Tibetan Buddhism is the traditional and most popular religion among the Kalmyks. The Republic has many natural resources and wildlife over the centures. Amazingly the caspian steppes and semi-deserts have a favourable conditions for keeping sheep and cattle in pastures all year round. The land of Kalmykia has many natural resources with the hydrocarbon deposits of national significance, chemical raw materials and so forth.The culture and mentality of the Kalmyk people is rooted in the general Mongol and Oirat traditions. The historical, cultural and natural heritage of the Kalmyk people, their ancient traditions and folk crafts all contribute to the tourism development. It has attracted many tourists, the whole year through all due to its advantageous geographical position. With the area’s unique natural landmarks, specific ethnography and its historical and cultural environment, I hope I could visit this beautiful place someday.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Stella Cheang for this wonderful sharing.

    The Tian Shan mountains also known as the Mountains of Heaven is a large system of mountain ranges in Central Asia. The Tian Shan mountains are part of the Himalayan orogenic belt. One of the longest mountain ranges in Central Asia and the largest isolated east-west mountain range globally. This Tianshan mountains has been a key to the development and spread of human society and culture over thousands of years. Bands of smashed unique rock amid massive fault zones of Tian Shan are preserved to this days. The Tian Shan Mountains of Central Asia, with its varying unique landscapes, high passes, stunning lakes and the spectacular pyramid of Khan Tengri has attracted many locals and tourist in recent years. Picturesquely located on a cliff face overlooking a river valley are the ancient Thousand Buddha Caves. The discoveries of images of Buddha had proven that Buddhism existed in the AD’s. Amazing …looking at those pictures in this blog tells all.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer

Dharma sharing by Hue before we proceeded with DS puja & Rinpoche Swift Return puja. Hue is one of the long time Kechara Penang members and he comes to puja regularly. He shared that he truly believes that Dorje Shugden and Rinpoche always there guiding him. He shared how sometimes DS will give him hints to avert troubles ahead or to alert him when he 'misbehaved'. Hope many will come to know more about this powerful Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden aka DS. Having Dorje Shugden is like having a powerful ally that will protect us day and night. Just trust Him and have faith. Kechara Penang Study Group, 25/11/2023 by Jacinta.
