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
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?

Annihilating the Demon of the Self-Cherishing Mind
First discovered this much-loved prayer in Vancouver in summer of 1990, I think. HH the Dalai Lama was in town. Big Sister had gone with her grade-school girl and brought back the event program for me. Inside was this prayer. I made a photocopy to tape beside my bed, so that I could look at it every day. In the morning when I awake. In the evening when I sleep.
These “Eight Verses” have carried me along the yellow-brick road to E – Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Nepal, India and back again to Ilha Formosa. West to east. Skipping along with all my quirky friends – Friend. Stranger. Enemy.
“Diamonds in the Rough” – HH the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa gives an excellent teaching on the Eight Verses of Mind Training for 21st century minds in London, May 2017.
“Annihilating the Demon of the
Self-Cherishing Mind”
Ever Flowing Nectar of Mahayana Thought Training
Tibetan root text composed by the great spiritual friend of the Kadam tradition, Langri Thang-pa Dorje Senge – a disciple of the virtuous friend, perfect in all knowledge, Kadampa Potowa Rinchen Sal, who was in turn a disciple of the holy lamp of the teachings, Atisha. Of his guru Potowa’s eight heart-sons, Langri Thang-pa was the only one to receive the special instructions on exchanging oneself and others.
Essential Buddhist Prayers. Translation by Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.
Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition
Determined to obtain the greatest possible benefit from all sentient beings, who are more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel, I shall hold them most dear at all times. (1)
When in the company of others, I shall always consider myself the lowest of all, and from the depths of my heart, hold others dear and supreme.
(2)
Vigilant, the moment a delusion appears in my mind, endangering myself and others, I shall confront and avert it without delay.
(3)
(3)
Whenever I see beings who are wicked in nature and overwhelmed by violent negative actions and suffering, I shall hold such rare ones dear, as if I had found a precious treasure.
(4)
(4)
When out of envy, others mistreat me with abuse, insults, or the like, I shall accept defeat and offer the victory to others.
(5)
(5)
When someone whom I have benefitted and in whom I have great hopes gives me terrible harm, I shall regard that person as my holy guru.
(6)
(6)
In short, both directly and indirectly, do I offer every happiness and benefit to all my mothers, I shall secretly take upon myself all their harmful actions and suffering.
(7)
(7)
Undefiled by the stains of the superstitions of the eight worldly concerns, may I, by perceiving all phenomena as illusory, be released from the bondage of attachment.
(8)
(8)
The wish-fulfilling gem is a mythical jewel which, when obtained is said to bring to its possessor all that may be desired in this world. The eight worldly attitudes are concern with gain and loss, fame and disgrace, praise and blame, pleasure and pain.
