The Lama Orgyen Khandro Norlha practice is especially effective for capturing, restoring and increasing the energy of 'yang' or wealth. Wealth in this sense not only refers to monetary wealth, but to anything that has value in our lives—the richness of vibrant health, nutritious food, clean environments; the prosperity that comes from the creative forces of the universe, the richness of friendship and community, the wealth that comes from inner peace and happiness, as well as material prosperity. 

As the world is now may lead into an economic crisis and hardship, the need to strengthen yang and restore lost yang is greater than ever. In this practice, the principal deity is Lama Khandro Orgyen Norlha, aka Orgyen Khandro Norlha, or Guru Dzambhala, who is Guru Rinpoche manifesting as the divine god of wealth surrounded by the assembly of wealth gods and goddesses. Guru Dzambhala, the Guru of all Dzambhala, is the embodiment of the perfect generosity of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas in the past, present and future.

The Origin of Guru Dzambhala or Lama Orgyen KhandroNorlha

During one winter time, when Guru Rinpoche travelled and visited Tibet, the entire people were suffering from poverty. Thrisong Detsen, the King of Tibet, out of compassion requested Guru Rinpoche to do something that could help his people. 

Guru Rinpoche miraculously, manifested himself into Lama Orgyen Khandro Norlha and did Ugyen Norlha’s Puja and blessed the whole land. Thereafter the region has never experienced poverty life; People enjoyed and had better living. Before Guru Rinpoche left Tibet, he had hidden the Lama Orgyen Khandro Norlha Yabyum the union one and Lama Orgyen Khandro Norlha's practice text (scripts) in a secret place directing Dakinis and Protector to safeguard it, until Terton (Treasure Revealer)

Live with compassion

Work with compassion 

Die with compassion 

Meditate with compassion 

Enjoy with compassion 

When problems come, 

Experience them with compassion.

A praise of compassion by H.E Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Compassion is wanting sentient beings to be free from suffering. So compassion is the definition of the highest scope of motivation.It is said that to generate genuine compassion, one needs to realise that oneself is suffering, that an end to suffering is possible, and that other beings similarly want to be free from suffering.

The Nilakantha Dharani also known as Maha Karuna Dharani. Popularly known as the Great Compassion Mantra in English,  大悲咒 in Chinese. It was spoken by the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara before an assembly of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Devas and Kings, Nagas according to the Mahakarunikacitta Sutra. It is often used for protection or purification.

The Great Compassion Mantra is from Mahakaruna Dharani Sutra of the Thousand-armed and Thousand-eyed Avalokitesvaraya. It is an important mantra of this almighty Bodhisattva. It is believed that recitation of the Great Compassion Mantra can purify our bad karma and help us reach the Pure Land. With constant recitation of this mantra, one can reap ten great benefits and harvest fifteen kinds of good birth, while staying away from the fifteen kinds of bad deaths. Moreover, this mantra has the unbelievable power to fulfill every wish and cure 840,000 diseases.

Thousand-armed and Thousand eyed form of Avalokitesvara, which is an important esoteric Buddhism form of Avalokitesvara. The legend of how he received a thousand arms and eyes even represents his compassion for others.  Vowing to help those in need whenever he hears their cries and sees their sorrows, because of this he is sometimes depicted with over a thousand arms and eyes. 

The Great Compassion Mantra is an extremely powerful spell because it contains not only the sacred name of Avalokiteshvara, but also the various embodiments, wisdom, capacities and merits of this Bodhisattva and other enlightened beings. When this mantra is recited, you are connected to Buddhahood through your voice. You do not have to understand the content of this mantra; reciting the Sanskrit version alone will create remarkable merit.

Before recitation, we must possess the determination to follow the example of Avalokiteshvara of One Thousand Arms and One Thousand Eyes. "Thousand" has the connotation of boundlessness; keeping Avalokiteshvara's boundless compassion in mind, we must make a wish to see the suffering of all sentient beings with his one thousand eyes, and to release them from their pain with his one thousand hands.

If we fully dedicate ourselves to Avalokiteshvara's path by cultivating altruistic aspirations, practicing equanimity, and vowing to become enlightened for the benefit of all beings, His twenty-eight Dharma Protectors will safeguard us in our spiritual journey; together with other Bodhisattvas and deities, they will shield us from any harm and peril with their magic powers. 

Recite the mantra with great faith as many as possible, when we are lonely or in the darkest moments of our life , let not give up our hopes and faiths and may the astonishing light of the Great Compassion Mantra and the blessing and wisdom of the enlightened Buddhas and Bodhisattvas be with us whenever and wherever we are.

*Footnote
Please consult your Guru or a qualified lineage master for Vajrayana practice! Should a devotee even want to start studying and contemplating the Vajrayana practice, 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.

Vajrayana features countless skilful and powerful methods which, if they are practised in the proper way, can make the process of accumulation and purification incredibly swift and direct. 

One such method is the practice of tsok, which is primarily a practice of offering. It is not just a practice of offering however; it is also a powerful method for purifying our Samaya. It is absolutely necessary to have the pure motivation and to know that Vajrayana practice is not carried out to increase one’s own ego, power and profit.

The Living Journal - Giving is simply the best

The poor one ask, why am I so poor ?

The Buddha said, you do not learn to give,

The poor one said, If I am not having anything ?

The Buddha said, you have a few things:-

Your face,  which can give a smile,

Your mouth, which can praise or comfort others,

Your heart, which can open up to others,

Your eyes,  which can look the other with the eyes of goodness,

Your body,  which can be used to help others.

Quotes by the Buddha.

"The seeds of kindness and compassion that you have planted today, It will bloom in the hearts of those that you have touched forever"

Helping othersare not only good and is a good thing to do, it also makes us happier and healthier too. Giving it's not all about money - we can also give our time, ideas and energy. So if you want to feel good, do good. 

Doing things for others - whether small, unplanned acts or regular volunteering, it is a powerful way to boost our own happiness as well of those around us.  Giving isn't just about money, so you don't need to be rich. Giving to others can be as simple as a single kind word, smile or a thoughtful gesture. It can include giving time, care, skills, thought or attention. Sometimes these mean as much, if not more, than financial gifts.

It's extremely sad and ironic that while some people feast, there are some dying out of starvation. Many are having the tendency to think that that it's okay if there's an excess, there just shouldn't be a shortage of food for my family and friends. 

We need discipline in our everyday lives to bring a change. We should learn to cook, to eat only what required. Excess food should be distributed  to the needy. Not wasting food should be a habit inculcated in children. 

A simple act of good deed, Good deeds make you feel good, Many people are self-centered that you may think "Why would I ever want to do a good deed for them?" I don't even get a smile or words of thank you from them.

Many people, even if they don't get any appreciation back, they will still feel good about the act. You will still be putting good energy into the universe - and that can only benefit you in the long run.

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.
