Transcript: 

I don't know how to say it. [...] I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. You know what, in Duryodhana Sakyamuni, there was a man called Chidambaram.

[01:10]

He was a great man. [...] I had to go to India to study. I had to [...] go to India to study. He, well, watch and you'll see. He said, children, I'll get them. I think it's how old you are. You're going to get your job done. I'm going to send you a good job.

[02:13]

See, it's not so long. See, not so long. I'll get that one. So long. You know what? He said to me, I'll get it done. Then you'll have money. Say it. When I was a child, I used to go to school. [...] You know, you have to be like, you need to do something about it.

[03:33]

You know, you have to be like, you need to do something about it. [...] I said to him, you know what I'm saying? He said, you know what I'm saying? He said, you know what I'm saying? uh tonight uh uh UNBK's teaching will include a series of translations of the texts or the scriptures that are very useful for all of the Dharma practitioners for their daily prayers and readings.

[05:08]

The set of translations includes the oral translation of the Great Prayer, which we call the Queen of Prayer. That means someone's God's Prayer. Together with the translation of the the Three Jewel Sutra, and the Three Heap Sutra. Now, this Three Jewel Sutra is called the Ratna Anusmriti Sutra, which is in English you can call the Three Jewels, remembering the Three Jewels. Then we say after that he's going to give us the

[06:13]

reading the conclusion of the three-inch scripture, which is called Three Scandals. And then there are other transmissions, like the Heart Scripture, which is called the Project Paramitra Everyday Scripture. And about everything else, there will be a special instruction and the oral translation of the Amitabha Seeding Four that is originally expanded by the Buddha himself that you can find in the collection of sutras, which is called the Ratana Kutra, Ratana Kut, Ratana Kut Sutra, which is a collection of six volumes that you can find in there for collection of Buddhist teaching.

[07:30]

Not only that, we can also find a line in the Samadhi, what we call this kingdom of prayer, which we can refer or which we can understand from that. The line says, when the time of my death comes, you should not have to live at that time. May I really proceed that of the actor Amitabha Buddha. With that two citations, in other words, from which we now trace the originality of the Amitabha sleeping power, that Rinpoche is going to give a brief instruction on that, which the text we have has very little writing for Rinpoche is difficult to read for that.

[08:38]

But Lama Kaido would help Rinpoche to read for Rinpoche and then Rinpoche would go through the text to give us to talk to. And the text, which actually is none other than a practice during our life to prepare for when the time of death comes, so that in future, in our future life, we will be insured of taking a birth in the higher realm of Amitabha Buddha in the western part of the Buddhafield. This translation is sustained by the great Indian sage and scholar, the Pandit Bajrasana, we have received deep auto-translations in our audio empowerment and so forth.

[09:56]

And this is also a prospect to Pandit Bajrasana. and which is being passed on or being received in Tibet by the Great Translator, Pali the Great Translator, who is known by the Vincente. And later on, he gave it to the Shakyamuni Venerable, who is the founder of this special tradition. and he, in turn, gave to his successor, Jitin Chokha Gelpeng, Sathya Pandit, son of Isamu, and Sathya Pandit's own father, Tontek Sanam Gelpeng. Later on, it also has been passed down, all the way down to the... At the time of

[10:57]

uh... children parkland you in a few of backhand when you first made it but i mean i'm not boom now this coming on the boonies one of the uh... great thing up to that uh... who don't do it cut them throughout the bad news and reaching here uh... follow-up the efficient mission You can find this text, the original text, the writing of this original text, in Saipan's collection of writings. But at the same time, you can also find it in the Trivial Progress writings, which is a little bit more elaborate and better than Saipan's. Now, this text is based upon a written text. which schedule password goes to the domain name called BOOM.

[12:10]

So with this UNITES transmission or the The instruction upon that we will be receiving, first of all, the instruction on the Amitabha's living power. And later on, we will be given the reading translation of the rest of the scriptures and the prayers. So, I can read you the book. For about a minute you go in, recording the book, you go, Mama, I'm done reading it. He said, I don't know. I don't know. He said, I don't know. When I was a child, I went to the temple to pray to the Buddha.

[13:27]

When I was a child, I went to the temple to pray to the Buddha. I went to the temple to pray to the Buddha. When I was a child, I used to go to school with my parents. I used to go to school with my parents. When I was a child, I used to go to school with my parents. I used to go to school with my parents. Yes. [...] I don't want to talk about it.

[14:47]

I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. I was very scared. [...] I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

[15:48]

This instruction on the Anikaba sleeping form is for those who really want to practice that type of sleeping yoga. And for to do that, you, first of all, like any other practice of the Buddhism, should go to breath three times. That means you can either do the longer form or you can do the shorter form, which runs like that. To the Buddha, to the Dharma, to Sangha, I go to refuge. By the virtue of giving etc., now I attain for the benefit of all beings, the stage of unwinding it.

[17:31]

We can repeat this refuge prayer come the generation of Dronachitta. which is also added with acceleration three times or more, not just repeating, but should intently recite while... but should concentrate on the word meanings while you're reciting the last verse. This you can either do in the sitting posture or you can do it while you're sleeping, as in your sleeping posture. Both way is correct to do it. Then, you now think that all this universe, you know, that all this whatever is, the antenna in the world is none other than the heavenly field.

[18:38]

is composed of all the qualities, the beauties and so forth, whatever you can imagine of the heavenly world, by purifying everything as divine substance, not in the ordinary state. Then, in front of you, With that purification, you now, in front of you, visualize a very beautiful throne, which is completely made of jewels, upon which there is the lotus and the moon disk. Visualize then, after that, the Buddha Amitabha, in red color, sitting in meditational posture, holding a bowl which is filled with nectar.

[19:47]

You know, it's a, I don't know what it is. And you can also find the differences in other practices which requires you to visualize the Amitabha Buddha and the Sambhogakaya. But this specific teaching is that, then we should meditate on the nirmanakara, which means exactly like that of the Buddha Shakyamuni, except the color of the Buddha, which is, which is, which wears the three robes, two abu robes and one leather robes, and holy that could be the, um,

[20:54]

complete the auspicious and the auspicious marks of pedicure and any other marks of the physical perfection or physical auspicious marks that Buddha has. Right. Very good. Then, Namo Bhangawati Amitabhaya Siddhantam When I was a child, I was very young. [...] What I do need, I put them in such training so limited, you know what I mean, of things.

[22:03]

I told him that I was going to go to the hospital. [...] and they were all in the train, and they were all in the train, and they were all [...] in the train, When I was a child, I used to go to school with my parents.

[23:27]

I used to go to school with my parents. [...] I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We had to make a plan. We had to tell them, you know, we can't do it like this. We had to tell them, you know, we can't do it like this.

[24:27]

We had to tell them, you know, we can't do it like this. I don't know what happened to him. I don't know what happened to him. I don't know what happened to him. That's a thing that I love about that. And then Generally, the meditation on this Amitabha Buddha is not just to train the follower, but it is also used as a means for purifying one's own personality through relying upon this particular Buddha, Amitabha.

[25:51]

So we can use it for two purposes. Then comes the purifications of one's own nature, as Rinpoche has repeatedly given us the instruction all throughout these months, a part about the importance of the purification and also the best way the best method to purify oneself, that is, through the application of this 74- or 70-lin prayer, or 70-lin practice. However, if you cannot do, this is a better way to do it, but if you cannot do the longer form, as we have been taught, we still can apply the seven-limb prayer that we can find in the Samantabhadra prayers, which runs like that.

[27:08]

Prostration, offering, compassion, joys, of supplication and the entreaty. That means when we start to do the meditation, we all do it wholeheartedly from our mind. First of all, do from the body, voice, and mind. Through your mind, the prostrations to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. and make the offerings, which at that time you will be doing from the mentally created offerings to all the Buddhas and Dhammadayas. Then, right after that, you do the confession of whatever faults you have went through. Make your confession, which means trying to confess the past misdeeds and never to repeat it again in the future.

[28:23]

And then you rejoice in all the good qualities and all the good deeds of all sentient beings and that of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. And you supplicate or pray to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are in this world to remain forever for the benefit of all beings. You also not only suffocate to remain forever, but He also remains us, or entreat all the Buddhists and Buddhists of us to teach, and to teach the Dharma forever for the benefit of all beings. So, with these applications of Seventh-day prayer, either way, you should now purify your own personally or their own mental continuum.

[29:27]

If I was telling my dog what to do, I would tell him what to do. [...] In that long time we lived, we had a small apartment. That's where we lived for a long time. A small apartment. It was a [...] small apartment. Then right after that,

[30:58]

No. Then you have to give this seven-fold prayer or the seven-limb prayer at least three times to make sure that your practice or meditation goes well. And right after that, you now concentrate on your breathing. First of all, you breathe slowly, naturally from your left nostrils and these are line of air that slowly goes up and it goes towards the Buddha Amitabha and slowly enters into the Buddha Amitabha through his right nostril. Think that your mind and his divine mind become one and meditate or contemplate in the state of lack of conception for a little while.

[32:31]

Then, when you wake up from that state of non-conceptualization, then you again Visualize the air from the left nostril or from the Buddha Hanukkah comes out slowly and it enters into your own right nostril. And then you again visualize that peace, divine wisdom or mind now enter into yourself and become one. Once again, you remain in the state of lack of conception. for a moment. I don't know.

[33:45]

I don't know. I don't know. At the end of the day, it's not a big deal. It's [...] not a big deal. I mean, After that, when you wake up from that state of the lack of conception or the complete one-pointed visualization or the meditation, you now concentrate your visualization upon the Buddha Amitabha, which is right in front of you.

[35:31]

This Buddha Amitabha now dissolves into life from the top and from the bottom. And it finally becomes just what nature becomes a ball of, by nature, a ball of light in the same model. When the red... When the red... in the red color, and it slowly enters into oneself. And in a moment, in an instant, oneself now becomes Buddha Anicaba in the very same form, posture, color, and everything, endowed with all kinds of perfections like that of Buddha Anicaba possessed

[36:36]

Then, right after that, you do the mantra recitation, which is om anitabha suvaha, om anitabha fris suvaha, om anitabha fris suvaha, as much as possible. like 21 times, 100 times, or whatever is possible for you to decide. By doing this way, it not only helps to train our power and to really purify ourselves, but also It helps to prolong our life. It gives an extra strength.

[37:40]

It aids a longevity to our life. he did not want to go to the temple, but he did not want to go to the temple, but he did not want to go to the temple, but he did not want to go to the temple, I don't know what to say.

[39:05]

I don't know what to say. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I've been living in the same town for a long time. I've been living in the same town for a long time. I've been living in the same town for a long time. When I was young, I used to go to school with my friends. I used to go to school with my friends.

[40:07]

When I was young, I used to go to school with my friends. When I was young, I used to go to school with my friends. When I was young, I used to go to school with my friends. Then, right after that, you can meditate for a while, and then you depart the wisdom deity by the recitation of mantra, and you visualize the departing of the wisdom deity, which is a wisdom aspect on the part of the Buddha, into its original realm of the Western Buddhafield.

[41:17]

you bless yourself by the sacred mantra OM AH HUNG on your forehead, forehead and the heart respectively. So this is really, it's very free meditation and it's very useful which could be done very easily and very beneficial in all the ways of purifying and getting help and giving us the longevity of life and so forth. And then you do the prayer, which says, which actually says, may I, may I be blessed by the Buddha Amitabha, who is in the Buddha field of the Western world.

[42:50]

which is completely filled with the divine substances. So whatever, you will find the prayer within the translation of the English. So you do the prayer, and in this way you go to sleep. And you can always, in your post-meditational practice, remember and think or visualize strongly that Uddhāni Tāva is always with you, right beside you, always even beyond this. And to pray that not only this life, right after this, you Right after your death also, may Buddha Anantabha bless you to take the birth in the Buddha Hills.

[44:04]

And Rinpoche is now going to give us the reading transmission. For that, we have to concentrate on the Rinpoche's song, or he leads to it, without any mental distractions.

[79:07]

And there's no big yin and bai, yin and bros there, and yin and so on, and yin and nam, and yin and bai, yin and nam, and [...] When I was young, I used to go to school. I used to go to school.

[80:28]

I used to go to school. [...] I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. When we came back from the war, we had a lot of problems. We had no money. [...] But the truth is that we have to know that the [...] truth is that we have to know

[82:10]

So, this context, the oral translation of the the Three-Heap Sutra, and the Three-Jewel Sutra, and the Sun on the Bodhi Prayer, and also the translation of Manjushri Namasamviti. This old transmission is being passed on from the Buddha himself throughout all ages, down to all the centuries, and finally to Rinpoche.

[83:22]

And out of these transmissions, Rinpoche's own favorite prayers is Manjushri Mula Namasamgiti and the Samambhata prayer. Rinpoche received the Namasamgiti from one of his three peers, Jami Chidibet. And we see the priest summoned by the prayer from also from Jhamjit Jain Chitlubhe and his root guru, Jatinanda Kalimbashe. And the father or present, his Holiness Sakyasins, which is known by now called the ancient, and many other teachers. He also received it from Kala Rinpoche because of his special meditation and practice that he has done.

[84:28]

He did the recitation of Samadhi-gatha prayer one million times by himself. and caused to do 2 million times by his own sponsorship to other people. 200,000. 200,000 times. That means he did it 100,000 times. And two others, he did it 200,000 times. So this prayer is very useful for all of us who are really a Dharma practitioner. Not only that, whoever it is that they decide this prayer, they can be saved or help in all kinds of obstacles.

[85:42]

temporary and permanent, temporary and long-range. Even in prayer itself says that we did not give him a mechanic. His prayer cannot be a person who decides his prayer is not vulnerable to all kinds of obstacles, of demons, and non-believers. The speciality of this prayer is because when the Bodhisattva gets first stage of Bodhisattva's Bhumi, which is called Pramudita, at that time the Bodhisattva does ten hundred thousand times his aspiration, ten hundred 10,000 times of different kinds of prayers and aspirations.

[86:50]

And these prayers and aspirations, this included, or this combined into the, he summoned about prayer, which is, this is 10,000, prayers of the bodhisattva is included in this mandala prayer and that too is addressed in this special prayer of the king of prayers which has given us so one way or another that is the essence of the prayer that all the bodhisattvas does and did in the past, and will do in the future, the following day, Pat. And he encourages us to do the same prayer, which he also does all throughout his life.

[88:02]

This prayer, as one of the one of the best prayers that we should be doing, and the best prayer that will be helpful for all of us. And that concludes today's transmission, or our transmission, together with the instruction in the Amitabha Siddhi Ball. And we will conclude here. What did you do? Thank you.

[89:51]

Thank you. [...]

[91:20]

Thank you. [...] And finally, we start the

[92:53]

prepared for his own life at St. Louis State in Chicago, followed by his English translation. John Wilkinson was a young man, [...] Thank you. Thank you. What's a good thing about it?

[94:43]

It's a good thing about it. It's a good thing about it. Long have been my hosts, a path through doctrine and science, and the luminary teachings that are revealed in all thy transcendent wisdom. To say I admire thee, O my loving son, I might be cheated. You are, by all means, a protector in time, wisdom, and absolute power. And at the aid of mine, be adored by the greeting of those curious prophets, who will seek to the end of all study, reflection, and dictation. May you increase in every way your holy groups, explaining, discussing, and sharing to us the way. May your body, religion, regain perfected to mayors, and all your wishes and needs to become fulfilled. Let the sound of the teaching, the voice of God, and the humanities of wisdom become heard in our worlds. I want to add that there are I also have Xeroxes of the Mahakala side.

[96:04]

Okay, well, that's it. It's all right. Those are good.
