The living journal - Believing in yourself

Some days when you get up in the morning and you feel things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be. There are times when people let you down. That is when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. But sometimes you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and to focus on believing in yourself.

Sometime we will face challenges, obstacles and changes to make in your life, and it's you to accept or reject them. Always to remember to keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. 

It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, be sure to believe in yourself and what you want your life to be. 

Because the challenges and impermanent will guide you along and to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you. This is how I am transforming my fears into a reality and from reality it motivated me to be stronger and start believing in myself.

The Living Journal - Equanimity and tranquility

A man of calm is like a shady tree,
people who need shelter come to it. 

As we get older, you find out that true happiness is not how much you have made, how big is your house is, how fancy is our car is, It's finding peace , joy and calmness in your life that will soon become the important aspect for you and your family are what matters most. When we get older, We see things that are of quality and not of quantity.
So, spend a couple of minutes to walk alone in silence,
Look up at the sky and look at the passing clouds and contemplate a while and reflecting how amazing life is.
Take away attraction,
Take away aversion,
Let go of attachments,
What are you left with ? 
Equanimity.

Breathing in , let calm my body and minds,
Breathing out, smiles this is the moments to be free.....

Dedication of merits
May the supreme jewel Bodhichitta
That has not arise and grow
And may that which has arisen and not diminish
But increase further and further
The prayer and the person who does the prayer are empty without existence.

Thank you for reading and may you find peace and great bliss. With your helps it spread and turning the Dharma wheel and Buddha's precious teachings in he world.

The Living Journal - The Eternal Love

There is no fear in Love, if the Love is real and perfect it overshadows all fears and concern. Love is not what you can receive; it's all about what you can give.

Every body loves you, when you love every body. No one loves you, if you do not love any one. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Love someone is not because they give you what you need. But because they give you the feelings and overcoming of fears that you never thought you needed. 

Simple truth of present, if you don’t want to know what is pain, don't hurt and harm anyone. There is only one happiness in life, is to love and be loved with your open heart and open mind.
Sometimes when we come into someone's life, is not just to make them love, but is to let them feel that they are so much worth living for. 

Life ends when we stop cherishing, hope ends when we stop believing,love ends when we stop caring. So, let's love and hope that makes our life worth living for and make every possible move as our road to an eternal journey.... 
Aspiration For Bodhichitta
May the precious Bodhichitta arise
Where it has not arisen
And where it has arisen may it not decrease
But increase further and further.

Nagarjuna's Dedication of Merit
By this merit may we obtain omniscience then.
Having defeated the enemies wrong-doings.
May we liberate migrators from the ocean of existence.

The Victorious White Parasol Goddess - Ushnisha Sitatapatra

Who is The Victorious White Parasol Goddess - Ushnisha Sitatapatra ?
The name Ushnisha Sitatapatra translates as "The Victorious White Parasol. She is the protector against supernatural phenomena dangers and quelling disasters. Ushnisha Sitatapatra, is her name in Sanskrit, and 'Dug-Kar' is her name in Tibetan.

Her name is composed of 'Sita' (White) and 'atapatra (Parasol or Umbrella).She is known as the White Umbrella Goddess who saves us from all harm. Her parasol symbolizes protection from natural catastrophes, diseases, spirit harm and all forms of misfortune. 

Ushnisha Sitatapatra is one of the most complex Vajrayana goddesses. According to the Buddhist text,  Ushnisha Sitatapatra emerged from the Buddha's ushnisha when Buddha was in the heaven. 

The Buddha announced her role to "cut asunder completely all malignant demons, to cut asunder all the spells of others, to turn aside all enemies and dangers and hatred." Her benign and beautiful form belies her ferocity as she is a "fierce, terrifying goddess, garlanded by flames, a pulverizer of enemies and demons.

The Victorious White Parasol Goddess - Ushnisha Sitatapatra is one of many powerful female deities. She manifests her power with her thousand heads, arms, and legs. She has eyes on the palms of each of her hands and soles of her feet, and each head has three eyes. 

Standing triumphantly within an aureole blazing with the fire of wisdom, the goddess tramples the enemies of spiritual attainment (such as anger, greed and delusion) with her numerous feet. In Ushnisha-Sitatapatra’s primary hands are the white umbrella of protection and the wheel of the Dharma (the Buddha’s teaching). Her other hands brandish various weapons and form a halo around her.

She has one thousand faces, arms and legs; each face has three eyes, and she has one eye in the palm of each hand and the sole of each foot, showing that she watches and protects sentient beings.Her central faces are white (as is her body); her right faces are yellow, the faces at the rear of her body are red, and the left faces green; there is also a "tier" of blue faces at the top of her head.
Her right hands hold wheels of the Dharma (dharmachakra) and her left hands hold arrows; one of her other left hands also holds aloft a white umbrella which also symbolises her protection.

She is venerated in both the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. Ushnisha Sitatapatra is a powerful independent Bodhisattva as she was emanated by our Lord Shakyamuni Buddha  from his ushnisha. Whoever practices her mantra will be reborn in Amitābha's pure land as well as gaining protection against supernatural danger and black magic. Ushnisha Sitatapatr is a female counterpart of the thousand-armed form of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is a Sanskrit word, Avalokiteshvara  Bodhisattva is known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Ushnisha Sitatapatra has a thousand eyes that watch over living beings, and a thousand arms that protect and assist them. 
Ushnisha Sitatapatra, her parasol indicates her ability to protect sentient beings from natural disaster and diseases. 

She is white in color, because the principal means by which she accomplishes this function is the enlightenment energy of pacification. By Chanting her mantra invokes extremely powerful protection. Ushnisha Sitatapatra is a powerful independent deity as she was emanated by Shakyamuni Buddha from his Ushnisha. Whoever practices her mantra will be reborn in Amitābha's Dewachen pure land. 
Ushnisah Sitatapatra Bodhisattva is one of the most complex Vajrayana goddesses.Ushnisah Sitatapatra she emerged from the Buddha ushnisha when he was in the heaven. The Buddha announced her role to cut asunder completely all malignant demons,to cut asunder all the spells of others and to turn aside all enemies and dangers and hatred.

The white umbrella in her hand is one of the eight pieces of treasures which is said can be used to drive away the monsters and bring peace. It is said that anyone who have received the oral transmission or empowerment , a minimum requirement to complete the recitation of her mantra is 100, 000 times.

What do the demons under Ushnisha Sitatapatra feet and its representation?

Demons in the Buddhist sense are the bad qualities within all living beings that hinder our path to Buddhahood, such as greed, hatred, and pride. Buddhists have compassion for all beings, even the demons, who must be subdued and brought back into the fold. 
Every being in the universe will eventually attain enlightenment, including the most evil. For all Buddhists, there is no ultimate evil, only delusions represented by demons, who need to be guided back on the Buddhist path. Representations of demons also assist in the meditation on one’s own inner demons that need subduing. The meditator seeks to become like the deity and subdue these inner demons.
Ushnisha Sitatapatra manifests in many elaborate forms, the most commonly manifestation of having a thousand faces, arms and legs or simply as a feminine deity or goddess of great beauty. She us known foremost for her "White Umbrella or White Parasol". She is most frequently attributed with the golden wheel. The auspiciousness of the turning of the precious wheel is symbolic of the Buddha's doctrine, both in its teachings and realization.

Inspiration Words By The Enlightened Beings

Every drop of water helps to swell the ocean.
Every good and bad action will never goes unnoticed.
Truly, one becomes good through good action, and evil through evil action.

The Buddha said that when we dedicate merit, it is like adding a drop of water to the ocean. Just as a drop of water added to the ocean will not dry up but will exist as long as the ocean itself exists, so, too, if we dedicate the merit of any virtuous deed, it merges with the vast ocean of merit that endures until enlightenment.
Quoted by Padmasambhava, Guru Rinpoche.

The Living Journal - The Secred Vajra


During the Buddha's time, Vajrayana Buddhism was not publicly known or practice. The teachings  and instructions were privately taught to a select group of individuals in indefinite places. Approximately 800 years after Buddha's passing, a great lotus born master Guru Rinpoche, who is regards as the second Buddha in Vajrayana, Atisha, Nagajuna and Asanga, widely propagated these teachings.

Today, these practice are widely practice and the tradition or lineages remains very much alive and intact in Tibet. Unlike Tibet, the other part of world has been introduced to the Vajrayana practices in an amazing, fabulous and impressive manners.

As a results of teachings and practices being given by unverified teachers that has given rise of a fair share of Cultism and Sectarianism. Many new students have a misconception of the practice. To them, it is something very 'exotic', 'advance' or 'superior' and related to magic, supernatural power and mysticism. Some students have actually approached many Rinpoches seeking for mystical experiences.
Actually Vajrayana is nothing like before, the Vajrayana teachings were taught by the Buddha himself, to liberate us, just like the Theravada and Mahayana traditions. And thus, like the Theravada and Mahayana, it teaches us to liberate and not miracles and magic tricks. It is true that if we practice we will develop many qualities. But these are called "qualities" similar to the Buddha's qualities and not magic. Magic is the art of illusion, its not real, on the other hand, Buddha 's qualities are genuine.  
To follow the Vajrayana, we must practice the Theravada and Mahayana traditions. These paths are all interrelated and complement each other and should not be viewed as being advanced or independent to each other. Vajrayana itself having the indestructible practices of the three Yanas, Its not a different sect or cult of a new religion.

The classic example, We need a foundation, four pillars and a roof to build a house. 
Vajrayana is known as the secret practice or tantrayana, because of the the more secretive the practitioners is about his practice, the better his achievement. In the modern age, the  internet, the social medias, you noticed there are many people try to outsmart or to defeat oneself intentionally or unintentionally by overly elaborate intrigue to have publicized the secret teachings. 
Some of the example of the secrets tantric that one is required empowerment and Guru guidance that have publicized including the details of :-  

[1] The powerful sacred mantras of wrathful protectors.
[2] The mudras engagement in a ritual meditation, especially is to generate forces that invoke a particular Buddha or deity.
[3] The illustration of the technique of visualization.
[4] The practice of channels and chakras. 
[5] The deity in a Yab-Yum union consort formation. 
[6] The Tommo practice-meaning inner fire is a Tibetan secret meditation practice that allows us to make significant physical changes to our body temperature using meditation, breathing techniques and our minds. To be able to immerse our naked body in freezing temperatures for long periods and walk across snowy landscapes for hours without freezing to death.

If these were to made public, it might cause those who are only interested or gaining this tantric practice to increase one’s own power and profit or ego, but instead of focusing on the Buddha's Dharma teaching. For example , when new students or people think of Buddhas they have an impression of serenity, peace and tranquility, however some images of protectors who are actually manifestation of Buddhas, who look wrathful and grotesque. 
Example, some of you might have noticed in certain monastery, they have a curtain to cover up a particular wrathful deity. If the new students were to see them, they might criticize or misunderstand Vajrayana Buddhism altogether, leading them create negative Karma. This is why Vajrayana, in particular the advanced practices, has to be secretly practiced.

I have received some enquiries, an example, a Sri Lankan Buddhist asked why Vajrayana is having so many ghostly demonic wrathful deities? I explained and finally he accepted and saying its so difference from the Sri Lankan Buddhist traditional. My Guru has reminded me that the important of the tantrayana teaching and must not be reviewed publicly and it has to be kept secretly.

Please consult your Guru or a qualified lineage master for practices! Should a devotee even want to start studying and contemplating the tantric , then it is truly necessary to first have completed the preliminaries and to be certain and sure that Bodhicitta has arisen and developed in one’s mind. 

It is absolutely necessary to have the pure motivation and to know that tantric practice is not carried out to increase one’s own power, ego and profit. Negative intentions of any kind may not be.

The Living Journal - Clash of Egos

Being egoist nowadays is considered something bad by the majority of people, but egoism doesn’t mean you can't be good with others. It means you do good to others because you really want to. Many of us forgot how to be egoists and thus are living unhappy lives, or are not very popular among others and so on. 

Being egoist means you put yourself and your needs before all others. It means that others are no longer the driving power of your progress but yourself and your needs.  You might think it’s unfair but after all the one to blame is you, for following other's ideas blindly. 

You needs to realise that nobody but you knows what's good for you and what's going to make you happy. Only you may walk your path of life and nobody else. There are too many people spend money they earned to buy the things they don't want and also to  impress people that they don't like.

A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you. So never let your pride or ego stop you from reaching out to someone you truly care for, but being too egoistic will bring you to nowhere but destruction.

Remember the Lord Buddha taught us  :- The middle paths.

Every time your head touches the ground in prayer, remember it is to teach you to put down your ego. 

Thank you for reading and may you find peace and joyfulness within yourself while you are reading this blog.
