Dakini Day Prayers Update

An update on the Dakini day prayers on March 15, 2015. At the Buddhist Society center, we had our group prayers on Praises of the 21 Taras and together with the Tsok vegetarian offerings to the enlightened ones.

I offered vegetarian meal and some candies and black tea to the Dakini.

Approximately 2 hours or more for recitation of the heart mantra of the wrathful lion-faced Singhamuka Dakini and long life prayers for His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje and also to my Guru as well for their long life and well-being.

What Would You Do If You Are A Buddhist?

Many readers and friends actually asked me why? This is a religion related blog and why spent time on sharing some health and related articles here? Some even had suggested, if I were you, I would rather writing or doing more research on Buddhism.

First and foremost, Buddhism is not only limited to itself on rituals, prayers, chanting alone to attain inner peace and wisdom. Dharma doesn't mean or confined itself to specific areas, Dharma itself can be so varieties and develops into different aspects of our life.

Interestingly, there are many Buddhist's centers in today's world are mainly focusing on humanitarian works only, their aims are to help other sentient beings who are desperately in needs of support and love and care, regardless of their ethnicity, faiths, lifestyle, professions, status and etc.

With a different mission and philosophy, but ultimately the same common goals or achievements in principals will be reunited with the supreme Buddha's teachings and what Bodhisattva's vows on unconditional love, compassion, Buddhichitta and to save sentient beings.
Reader discretion is advised.

Why Auspicious Dakini Day ?

Simhamukha Dakini or famously known as the Lion-Faced Dakini. She is the secret principal teacher of Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, Buddha of the three times -past , present and the future.

.

Why Dakini teaching and practice are so important in today's world ?
The Dakini practice is one the great antidotes for this critical time of the "five degenerations"

According to the Tibetan calendar, the Dakini auspicious day will be scheduled on every 25th of the Tibetan lunar month and traditionally the Dakini practice will be in the pre-dawn session and when evening approaching.
