It’s difficult to remember contentment teaching and even more difficult to follow this teaching
Lamasang lived humbly and practiced contentment very well, with little attachment to material things. He also taught us that, and how important it is to have a simple life.
Dharma is not just a toy to play with, it’s not just a position from which to show your power, it’s not a joke with which to tease people
Anyone who wants to be a dharma follower, must understand they are responsible for their future lives. Dharma is not just a toy to play with, it’s not just a position from which to show your power, it’s not a joke with which to tease people.
If we suspect that someone has broken their samaya, by hearing, seeing or having doubts about them, as dharma people, we must withdraw from that relationship
It is very common, for anyone, to be in possession of rumors. It is not considered appropriate to have, or spread, rumors about the relationship between a student and a teacher. Broken commitments or samaya with one’s guru or root guru must be taken on a very serious level.
If one does break samaya with one’s Guru, the best way forward is to accept that it happened, regret that it happened, confess it to the Guru
The biggest problem is when students break samaya with their guru, and they don’t accept it. They pretend nothing has happened.
It is good enough for dharma followers to not jump into a connection for the wrong personal reason, but to follow a teacher for the purpose of dharma. It is good enough to follow the dharma teacher not because of dharma politics
Vairocana said something like, “Nobody may be satisfied, but it is good enough to do things that don’t upset the Buddha.” It is good enough to not cheat those who believe or trust in you.
I will name this Shitro practice The Profound practice of the Peaceful and Wrathful Deities that Liberates on Hearing and I will bury this as a treasure to be discovered in the future
The lineage of this Shitro practice is the same as the lineage of Dzogpachenpo. In the Nyingma tradition, in each Tantric practice, there are transmissions of three lineages; the mind lineage, the symbol lineage and the hearing lineage. I will explain more of the hearing lineage of the Shitro practice.
Wisdom and compassion experienced is more important than mere knowledge and conduct, even seemingly good conduct that is not based on experience
I and many other people, have seen some geshes, and khenpos who can talk a lot, and are said to be knowledgeable in many texts, but are leading people to the wrong path. Therefore, action or good conduct is more important than knowledge.
Shitro means Peaceful and Wrathful deities and is a practice based on the mandala of the 100 Peaceful and Wrathful deities
So what is Shitro practice and how did it come to be? Shitro means Peaceful and Wrathful deities and is a practice based on the mandala of the 100 Peaceful and Wrathful deities. It also includes the female and male Five Buddha families, the female and male Eight Bodhisattvas, the Six Munis and Five Wrathful Herukas and their Consorts etc.
Someone follows the wrong teacher due to their own heavy karma, due to their own wills and due to the mental kleshas (negative emotions) in their minds
Everyone knows that it is very important to follow a qualified dharma teacher who can lead you to the correct dharma way. Sometimes people follow the wrong teachers due to their bad luck, misfortune and misunderstanding.
