The First Buddhist Monastery Built In Tibet - Samye Monastery

Samye Monastery or Samye Gompa 桑耶寺 and another name for Samye Monastery is Samyuan. "Samye" is the Tibetan language which means"unimaginable". The Monastery is located in the quiet piedmont area of the Shanna region and it was the first constructed under

patronage of King Trisong Detsen (reigned 742-798) of Tibet who sought to revitalize Buddhism, which had declined since its introduction by King Songtsan Gampo in the 7th century. 

There were many obscuration and obstacles to construct the Monastery. According to tradition, the Indian monk Shantarakshita made the first attempt to construct the Monastery while promoting his sutra-centric version of Buddhism. Finding the Samye site auspicious, he set about to build a structure there. However, the building would always collapse after reaching certain stage and many attempts to re-construct the Monastery but, eventually the building would collapse repeatedly. Terrified, the construction workers believed that the collapsed was caused by the local malevolent demons in a nearby river.

When Shantarakshita's contemporary Padmasambhava arrived from northern India, he was able to subdue the energetic problems obstructing the building of Samye. According to the 5th Dalai Lama, Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava performed the Vajrakilaya dance and enacted the rite of namkha to assist Trisong Detsen and Santarakshita clear away obscurations and hindrances in the building of Samye. 

The great Indian master Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava performed this dance in order to prepare the ground for the Samye Monastery and to pacify the malice of the lha ,  (local mountain spirits) and srin (malevolent spirits) in order to create the most perfect conditions. The 5th Dalai Lama  went on to say that after Padmasambhava consecrated the ground, he erected a thread-cross — a web colored thread woven around two sticks — to catch evil. Then the purifying energy of his dance forced the malevolent spirits into a skull mounted on top of a pyramid of dough. 

His Tantric dance cleared away all the obstacles, enabling the Monastery to be built in 767. The dance was memorialized by the construction of Vajrakilaya stupas — monuments honoring the ritual kilya (purba) daggers. There are  four colored of Stupas, the white, red, black and green at the cardinal points of the monastery that represent the four Mandalas or the four Heavenly Kings where they would prevent  and suppress devils and demonic forces from entering the sacred grounds. 

Guru Rinpoche and his closest disciple Yeshé Tsogyal travelled all over Tibet and the Himalayas, and blessed and consecrated the entire land, especially: “the twenty snow mountains of Ngari, the twenty-one Sadhana places of U and Tsang, the twenty-five great pilgrimage places of Dokham, the three hidden lands, five ravines, three valleys and one region.”

Guru Padmasambhava made many prophecies about the future, and together with Yeshe Tsogyal concealed countless Terma teachings, in order to: prevent the destruction of the teachings of the secret Vajrayana; avoid corruption of the Vajrayana or its alteration by intellectuals; preserve the blessing; and benefit future followers. For each of these Terma treasures, he predicted the time for its revelation, the identity of the Revealer, and those who would receive and hold the teachings.

The Living Encyclopedia of Tibet - Thangka Painting

In 1959 when the Chinese Communist invaded in Tibet and had destroyed a lot of monasteries, including many of the traditions treasures, holy statues and sacred manuscripts and Thangkas. In Tibet, the Thangkas are extremely sacred and it's so important and can be considered as a living Encyclopedia to the entire Vajrayana Buddhism. The Thangkas are used in temples & monasteries and as well can be hung above at the altars to support for our meditation and practices. 

Thangka is considered to convey a sacred message to the practitioners when meditating and looking attentively for a particular holy image. A Thangka could serve as a teaching of Buddha and every detail on it has a profound meaning and the painting refers to some parts of the Buddhist philosophy. A Buddha painting also helps the Buddhist meditations as it shows you how to visualize the Deity.

Thangka is a Tibetan silk painting with embroidery, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The Thangka is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting , but consists of a picture panel, which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. 

Generally, Thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their lustre, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the silk. It is sometimes called a scroll-painting. Thangka performs several different functions. Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. 

Overall, and perhaps most importantly, religious art is used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. 

You can now easily learn more and can download it from iTunes here for about this astonishingly beautiful Tibetan Thangka of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Deity, Dakini, Guru Rinpoche.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Om Mani Padme Hum,

Om Mani Padme Hum,

Om Mani Padme Hum,

南摩觀世音菩薩 

南摩觀世音菩薩 

南摩觀世音菩薩 

《法華經》說：“若有無量百千萬億眾生，受諸苦惱，聞是觀世音菩薩，一心稱名，觀世音菩薩即時觀其音聲，皆得解脫.

According to the Mahayana Buddhism, today July 22, it's the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's enlightenment day.  Avalokitesvara is a Bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is variably depicted and described and is portrayed in different cultures as either female or male. 

In Mahayana Buddhism, Avalokiteśvara has become the somewhat different female form and famously known as the Guan Yin Bodhisattva or The Goddess of Mercy 南摩觀世音菩薩 or 南摩觀自在菩薩. 

In Tibet, Avalokitesvara played as an important  role in Tibetan Buddhism, and is regarded in the Vajrayana teachings as a Buddha. He is called Chenrezig. His eleven heads, which can be interpreted as corresponding to the eleven points of a mandala (its center, four cardinal points, four intermediate points, nadir, and zenith), are arranged in five registers. 

The lowest, displaying peaceful countenances, is surmounted by three levels of wrathful forms; the peaceful Buddha Amitabha is at the top. Each head represents an aspect of the compassionate deity, even the wrathful forms, which reflect Avalokiteshvara's ability to meet ferocious powers with comparable strength, although his heart remains full of compassion. 

His arms, intended to represent the auspicious number one thousand, stretch around him like a wide halo, each bearing an eye to symbolize his unhindered capacity to see. The outstretched hands poignantly suggest an immediate association between the deity's perception of his devotees' needs and his willingness to extend himself to relieve their suffering.

Accordingly, to the Vajrayana Buddhism, The Goddess of Tara came into existence from a single tear shed by Avalokiteśvara. When the tear fell to the ground, it created a lake, and a lotus opening in the lake revealed Tara.

The Tibetan Body And Mind Spiritual Meditation

We do have some moments of inner peace, of altruistic love, of deep-felt confident, but, for the most part, these are only fleeting experiences that very fast give way to other less pleasant ones. What if we could train our mind to cultivate these wholesome moments?  

The Tibetan has been practicing meditation for thousand of years. Today we see a surge in its popularity as new benefits continue to be discovered. Meditation has been proven to benefit both our bodies and minds. Many are now realizing an additional advantage — the tremendous benefits, spiritual meditation has for our soul

Meditation is becoming accepted as a part of popular culture. Meditation was introduced to the Western world at the beginning of the 20th century and European intellectuals were exploring the oriental mystical philosophy, which has its roots in meditation, But it took the revolution in thinking of the 60's and like the Beatles takes up meditation and this has created a widespread of public awareness of the practice. 

Meditation is a way for people to explore their own spirituality, there are times when many people are disillusioned with institutionalized religion, meditation offers us a method to enter our own inner world and experience spirituality directly.

Nawang Khechog is a Tibetan and he practiced as a monk for 11 years in India and has studied under His Holiness the Dalai Lama for three decades. His Holiness also guided and sponsored Nawang Khechog during his four years as a hermit meditating in the foothills of the Himalayas. Nawang Khechog fills a truly unique spot in Buddhist culture as a Dharma teacher, a Tibetan flute player, performer, practitioner, and Tibetan freedom fighter.

Tapping into the richness of Tibet's meditation tradition, Nawang Khechog will wholly focus on helping you experience inner stillness. With the Tibetan Meditation guides, Nawang Khechong combines Tibetan spiritual chants with his own masterful flute compositions. 

The result is a soothing blend that has been embraced by many Tibetan and Korean monks, nuns, and people around the world from all walks of life—to enhance a meditative practice or just to find a refreshing moment of pure serenity.

In a unique approach, Nawang Khechog deemphasizes rhythm and uses subtle accents of vocals, bells, percussion, and Western classical instruments to enhance the calming and spacious sound of his meditative flute and Tibetan spiritual chants. 

The Tibetan Meditation melody has a timeless quality that awakens the feeling of sitting on a Himalayan mountain, gazing into infinite space with natural freedom and eternal peace. This is the perfect musical accompaniment for meditation, yoga, tai chi, healing—and complete relaxation.

The Living Journal - Smiles Are Contagious

Use your smile to change the world,

But don't let the world change your smile.

Sometimes the strongest among us are the ones who smile through silent pain, cry behind closed doors and fight battles nobody  knows about. A smile can lift your spirit effortlessly, we smile because we are happy, and we frown because we are sad. Smiling connects us with others. Our smile interprets as a gesture of trustworthiness and friendliness. 

Smiling tells us it makes us more approachable. Very often we pay less attention to the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn our life or someone's life around. 

Happiness is the essence of life and have the power to brighten our lives. We should try to stop being agonized or always stressful about life, we must do our best to stop worrying, we must stop being anxious and we definitely need to stop trying to be complicated of our life. More often than not, we focus on material things and achievements. This takes away our time, happiness and the appreciation for life in its simplicity. 

We must focus more on the spiritual and emotional aspects of our lives. These bring joy, fulfillment and happiness. It may sound simple, but then again, nothing is impossible unless you try. I have a daily rule, is to give everyone I meet a gift even if it's only a kind word, a smile, or a thank you. I always remember smile is contagious and it’s one of the priceless gifts that you can ever give to anyone.

Thank you for reading, may you find peace and great bliss.

Cry of the Tibetan Herders

Facing the uncertainty tend to produce certain predictable fears.

• Fear of the Unknown

• Fear of Failure

• Fear of Abandonment 

• Fear of Culture and heritage disappearing

To be truthful, there are many fears and uncertainty what lies ahead of the  Tibetan world.” Fear of an uncertain future and all this related fears can stop us from doing great things, and it can keep us holding onto things that are hurting us.  Fear does not make us strong, instead it makes us weak and incapable of function our minds and thoughts in a right direction. 

In Tibet, an estimated 2 - 3 million Tibetan herders live with their herds in the northern and eastern regions of the plateau. Tibetan herders have lived for centuries in the high grasslands of Central Asia, yet many development programs are currently transforming their lives. Tibetan herders face uncertain future and the traditional herder is fast vanishing by one of the main assumptions of PRC policy, China

Many people’s lives are dedicated to Tibetan Buddhism. Religious customs are part of everyday life, from chanting mantras and prostrating in a local square to walking the ‘kora’ around a temple or sacred site. China wishes to control and limit Tibetan Buddhism in order to weaken Tibetan identity and strengthen its control over Tibet.

Monks and nuns also face restrictions on their practise and China’s military put on shows of force at religious events. Access to important pilgrimage sites is restricted and many sacred lakes and mountains have been dammed and mined without Tibetans' consent.

The Wrathful Vajra Manifestation of Guru Rinpoche - Dorje Drolo

Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava is the first person to introduce Buddhism in Bhutan. Guru Padmasambhava reverently known as Guru Rinpoche flew on a female flying tigress in pursuit of a demon that he subdued at the present location.  

The name Taktsang refers to 'Tiger’s liar ' or Tiger's Nest' which is literally believed that Guru Rinpoche flew to this place from Tibet in the back of a tigress. Following which, Guru Rinpoche meditated in a cave and emerged in eight manifestations and blessed the place. It's believed that Guru Padmasambhava have meditated in the Taktsang Senge Samdup cave for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours.

*Dorje Drolo the wild wrathful Vajra  is one of the most fearsome Manifestation forms of Guru Rinpoche. Guru Rinpoche in a wrathful form riding upon a tigress. He assumed this manifestation in Paro Taktsang in Bhutan in order to bring the local deities and guardians under his control.

Guru Rinpoche manifested in "the wisdom form of a very wrathful and fearsome aspect of Dorje Drolo" that has been known as 'The Wild Wrathful Vajra' binding worldly spirits, demons under oath to protect the Terma treasures and serve the Dharma. Hence, the place is named so Pako Taktsang and 'Tiger’s Nest' or 'Tiger Liars' Monastery in English. 

In 1692 where Pako Taktsang was constructed by Gyalse Tenzin Rabgye, the then secular ruler of Bhutan, built a temple to commemorate the holy site. Presently the Monastery is a complex of temples that abounds with paintings, statues and artifacts. 

Taktsang is one of the most sacred sites which is a must visit at least once in a lifetime to a Buddhist and for a traveler a must see and visit travel destination for its sheer spectacular site and architectural delight. It is an hour and a half climb uphill through the beautiful natural splendor of Paro Valley.

Located around 900 meters above the Paro valley on a precarious almost vertical mountain cliff, Taktsang Monastery is truly a wonderful and spectacular sight in terms of its location, setting and history.

The Living Journal – Let us be free

If you want to walk fast, you may walk alone,  

Walking alone is not hard, but walking with someone, then coming back alone is difficult. So if you want to walk a distant, we walk together. 

When people choose to walk out of your life, let them go. Your destiny is not meant to the one that leaves you. Sometime it’s better to walk alone than with a wrong crowd and with a wrong direction. 

Do not judge someone’s path if you have not walked their journey. Stop letting people that do a little thing for you, and controlling so much of your mind, feelings and emotions. Yes, other people may be there to help us, teach us, guide us along our path, but the lesson to be learned is always ours.  

Happiness is a journey and not a destination. Take the right steps and with a little persistent, little more efforts. To us what seemed to be a hopeless failure, may well turn to a glorious success, so remember if you want to predict your life, the better way is to create it. 

No matter what sort of problems you experience, instead getting nervous and fearful, sit back, relax and be as silent as possible. In this way you will be able to see reality and understand the root of the problems. 

Now close your eyes, for a while and take a close look at whatever you consider your biggest problem to be. Shot down your senses perception as much as possible, remain completely silent and with meditative wisdom thoughts, investigate your mind. 

Where do you hold the ideas of “your problem” It is in your brain? Your stomach? Your heart? Where is that idea of problem? If you cannot find it, do not intellectualize, just relax. If miserable thoughts or bad ideas arise, just watch how they come and how they go. 

Do not react emotionally, By practicing this way, you can see how the weak, unskillful cannot face problems, but your silent mind of skillful wisdom face any problem bravely, conquer it and control all your emotional and agitated state of mind.   

Thank you for reading, may you find peace and great bliss. With your support it helps to spread the Buddha’s precious teachings and turning the Dharma wheels in the world.

A Heartfelt And Fascinating Story Of Tibet - Bringing Tibet Home.

This film is the pivotal, poignant and deeply personal debut feature documentary by Tibetan filmmaker Tenzin Tsetan Choklay. The film crew follow from start to finish the New York based Tibetan contemporary artist Tenzing Rigdol while he creates his most ambitious, political and crucial installation yet, the Soil Project. 

Inspired by his father's dying wish, to once again set foot on Tibetan soil, Rigdol transported soil from Tibet through Nepal to Dharamsala, India, to bring a piece of Tibet to the exiled community who are unable to return to their homeland. Choklay films Rigdol's physical and emotional journey to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges as he navigates the border controls of three countries to smuggle out 20 tons of Tibetan soil. 

A deeply inspiring portrait of human resilience at its most tested, and a profound example of enduring creativity through times of political turmoil.
