TEACHING ABOUT SEVEN-LINE INVOCATION OF BUDDHA PADMASAMBHAVA by Her Eminence Lama Tara Tulku Drimed Drolkhar Rinpoche is published to benefit all beings.At each site where Visual Dharmas are played it will bring positive energy and blessings to all who respect Buddhist Teachings. Visual Dharma 94 (February 2008) is related to the practice of Seven-line Invocation of Buddha Padmasambhava (part 1). All Visual Dharmas are empowered with the Sound of Dharmata. They contain sacred syllables, images and instructions. Therefore they must be treated with respect. Visual Dharmas can be embeded by all who respect Buddhist ethic. Visual Dharmas are direct Teachings and a contemporary way of teaching at all levels of Buddhism in third millenium. To experience Healing Art of Visual Dharmas you must look at them with unbiased mind -- like the child entering the temple : your mind/awareness will become less crowded with thoughts, more spacious, more concentrated , peaceful and blissful.
PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS :
1. Everyone who wish to practice authentic Buddhism for his/her liberation and for the wellfare of all sentient beings must first become vegetarian, avoiding also to eat pungent food (onion, garlic), avoiding to drink alcohol, smoke cigaretes, use any kind of drugs etc.. Purify your body , speech and mind with the help of Buddhist Wholesome Medicine (including wholesome vegetarian diet , high quality extracts of medical herbs etc.).
2. Accumulate merit by practicing ten Dharmic Activities as taught by the Buddhas: sponsor preparation of ourVisual Dharmas which are published on internet for all beings, embed ourVisual Dharmas to your web site and invite friends to study them, recite Prayers published in Visual Dharmas,esp. every Sunday afternoon (Collective meditations), sponsor orphan children at the Buddhist school in Nepal- World peace Envoy, lead by H.E.Karma Gyan Sagar Rinpoche. For information about sponsoring of orphan children send e-mail to international headquarter of OBFI : buddha-dharma@a1.net .
3. Seek authentic Buddhist master (who is vegetarian, who is not drinking alcohol, who is not selling the Dharma etc.). Personal instructions on Atiyoga/Dzogchen are traditionaly given only to Buddhist practitioners who spend 4-5 years on meditation retreat.
4. Her Eminence Lama Tara Tulku Rinpoche is granting Refuge to all seekers of Truth who are commited to vegetarianism, who sincerely wish to practice in Atiyoga essence lineage and who wish to promote aims of Open Buddhist Forum International : to serve the Teachings of Buddhas.
5. Practice in this special Atiyoga lineage will make you more and more natural, liberated, wise and creative. The aim of Atiyoga practice with the Sound of Dharmata is not to become more complicated, not to become ?dzogchen expert" who knows all terminology but is lacking essential experience of his/her natural state or Buddha nature. Ancient Atiyoga masters were very simple and could grant direct introduction of Buddha nature in very profound ways !
6. Almost all Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana-Atiyoga/Dzogchen) have at least traces of theoretical knowledge of the Dharmata`s self-arisen Sound, but practical experiences of meditation are lost because of neglecting Buddhist ethic etc.. Most complete understanding of Dharmata´s self-liberated Sound is contained in Atiyoga/Dzogchen -- Teaching of great completion.
In Atiyoga lineage prayer it is written : ?Please, always guide us and teach us with non-dual Sound of all Tathagatas." RELATED VISUAL DHARMAS :
