Be Gentle with Your Self

“Afflictions arise?  Be gentle with yourself.  Like a mother to her 2-year-old child.” – Lama Zopa

Hail Mary, full of grace

Our Lord is with thee

Blessed are thou among women

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God

Pray for us sinners

Now and at the hour of our death

Amen.

萬福瑪利亞、妳有充分的善意

我們的主陪著妳

在婦女中、妳是神聖者

妳的子宮產生的果位是神聖者、耶穌

聖母瑪利亞、天主之母

為我們罪人祈禱

現在與我們死亡的時刻、阿門

Shantideva’s Dedication Prayer

From Chapter 10 – “Dedication” in Shantideva’s A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life is HH the Dalai Lama’s favourite prayer, and one I love the best of all.

“Healing Anger:  The Power of Patience from a Buddhist Perspective”, by The Dalai Lama, translated by Thupten Jinpa (Snow Lion, 1997).

In the book, HH shows how the power of patience and tolerance can help us overcome anger and hatred.  He bases his discussion on A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, the classic work on the activities of Bodhisattvas – those who aspire to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all SSBs – suffering sentient beings.

By Shantideva

May all beings everywhere

Plagued by sufferings of body and mind

Obtain an ocean of happiness and joy

By virtue of my merits.

In Praise of Dependent Origination

1.    He who speaks on the basis of seeing, this makes him a knower and teacher unexcelled, I bow to you, O Conqueror, you who saw dependent origination and taught it.

2.    Whatever degenerations there are in the world, the root of all these is ignorance; you taught that it is dependent origination, the seeing which will undo this ignorance.

3.   So how can an intelligent person not comprehend that this path of dependent origination is the essential point of your teaching?
