The 8 Principal Dharma Protectors, Mahakala (Part 1)

Dharma Protector day or known as the Dharmapala prayer day is to be done on the every 29th of the Tibetan lunar calendar,. 

There are certain days are considered auspicious day for certain practices, and on these particular days of the practices,  the effects of positive or negative actions are multiplied 100 times. 

From their looks you might think they are evils and the demonic terrifying appearances. But Dharmapalas are wrathful bodhisattvas who protect Buddhists and the Dharma. Their terrifying appearance is meant to frighten forces of evil. 

Mahakala is the high level of Dharma protectors , he is the well known Dharma protectors and he is the wrathful manifestation of the compassion of Chenrizig (In Tibetan) or Avalokitesvara (In Sanskrit) Kuan Yin (In Chinese) Bodhisattva. 

Mahakala uses his power to protect the temples, monasteries, protect the precious Vajrayana teachings and help other Dharma practitioners. He is typically black color. Just as all colors are absorbed and dissolved into black, all names and forms are said to melt into those of Mahakala, symbolizing his all-embracing, comprehensive nature. 

Black can also represent the total absence of color, and again in this case it signifies the nature of Mahakala as ultimate or absolute reality. Mahakala he is always depicted with a crown of five skulls, which represent the transmutation of the five negative afflictions into the Five wisdoms. The wisdom are representations of the five qualities of the  Buddhas.

The Top 100 Job Interview Questions And Answers

Dear Job Seeker,

If the prospect of your next job interview is playing on your mind, then this is going to be the most important message you'll read today, because in the next few paragraphs, I'm going to tell you exactly what you need to do to make any hiring manager desperate to employ you!

If you've ever walked out of an interview with your head down and your shoulders up, you’ll know what I'm talking about. It’s that gut wrenching certainty that you've blown that one shot at your dream job – the interview.

What went wrong? Your resume matched the job perfectly, your skills and achievements were second to none but you messed up so badly on the questions – and why was the hiring manager sitting there with his arms folded and an expression on his face like you just insulted his mom?

You see, the truth is...in today’s fiercely competitive job market where every vacancy attracts countless applicants, it is vital to stay ahead of the competition. 

Here why...

Tell me about yourself

The ‘tell me about your self’ interview question should be expected in most interviews, and it is usually one of the first questions that the hiring manager will pull out of the bag. It seems like a fairly informal question, but knowing how to describe yourself in a concise and positive way will set the tone for the rest of the interview, so don’t drop your guard!

When answering this question, avoid telling your life story. What the hiring manager really wants to know is how you feel your life experience is relevant to the position you have applied for. Before you attend the interview, have a think about your highest achievements and consider how you could apply those to the job you are being interviewed for.

Don’t aimlessly chatter away about your hobbies and interests.

Do include specific achievements from your past which are relevant to this job. This can include work-place achievements, educational achievements and relevant out of work activities.

Do pick two or three of your achievements to talk about. Any more than that is overkill.

Sample response:

‘I belong to a debating society which I attend in my free time. From this I have learnt very strong negotiating skills which have served me very well during the last three years working as a Sales Manager. As a result, I recently won a big contract for my employer which will ensure our sales targets are exceeded for this financial quarter. While working for a previous employer, I introduced an innovative sales method which resulted in my sales team achieving their annual sales targets six weeks before the deadline and earning the whole team a bonus.

How impermanent can break our heart - Nepal Disasters

How impermanent can break your heart  無常,可以打破你的心-尼泊爾

Uplifting" is something which raises or elevates your soul or spirit. In this world where finding peace and encouragement is quite an uphill task, uplifting quotes and sayings provide you relief, encouragement and the will to carry on. Even words of praise or laudatory remarks from someone do us a lot of good and instill hope in our being. 

 

When stuck in adversities, it is very easy to give up and quit. When facing troublesome times, one should always seek the aid of some uplifting advice, helps which provide peace to the mind and give us the strength to just hang in there and take the bull by the horns. 

Not everyone can talk or write in a manner so as to uplift someone else's wounded spirit. To uplift your soul, you have to be the hero at times. Don't let the hope go in times of uncertainty and challenges and just keep working hard towards your goal or ultimate motive in life.

Please Stay Strong Nepal ! This is the only word I can think of now and I can’t continue to keep writing something that others had been written more than a thousand times…
