on this evening we continue our studies in the same boba of hello kitty swara meditation system
at this juncture we turn to the
i section on the practice or be good or yoga which is i do
design to
hope the practitioner quickly
i receive the blessings
all by
of his teacher and thereby
thereby i quickly received the realizations a spiritual attainments that the streets
also this evening we will i consider the
mandela the instructions for the mandela offering which is designed to enable the student quickly to accumulate to acquire both accumulations
the of both accumulation of marriage and wisdom which remedies that are the essential they prerequisites for success
the buddhist or the mahayana honest hard to enlight
so to turn first to a consideration of the guru yoga or meditation phone by spiritual master
the word lama the tibetan word lotta
is a translation are the sanskrit crypto guru
actually it's not an exact translation i'll return the word guru in sanskrit
it means
heavy or and of great weight
i and because this this
did not render so nicely and betting they substituted or it they turned to lama which i in tibet and gives the sense of a supreme or highest not
them
second to none
ah the
the buddhist etymology of the term guru meaning heavy is that say i guru is one who
who
hey who's
we can say and is a load or burden or accumulation are voting with having that is another way one do is endowed possessed of a very great a very vast amount of virtues is known as a guru
in the
college job time dry and in other
ah other tantric literature rear advised that the practice of the guru yoga is
extremely important and certainly essential for those beads were like ourselves are born in a
an age of spiritual decline or degeneration
according to you
in this video to we have now entered to a period when the mental i when mental negativity or poison says they are called literally are
rampant and it is difficult to
either to a choir or to maintain
ah
those qualities such as a mental serenity purity of mind nobility of mine and a prevalence within one's mine of virtues are positive things
so at this time for beings who happened to be born in a time when it is difficult or the
wholesome factors of diamond to prevail
it is important to rely upon the blessings of another's and they who better than went on a spiritual master who has himself realize the way that you seek to call them
so
it
if a student's false or less than his or her virtues
then it becomes possible still even in this ah
one to attain the highest spiritual results through reliance upon the practice of this guru yoga or meditation or the master
nonetheless
one cannot
one should not
i rely about any master or anything a person who is simply simply where's the title of guru
a true guru or a to master is one who is poorly endowed with all of the
qualities
and qualifications that are required of a buddhist master that is to say it already to impart teaching such as this or to confer upon this didn't he
tantric instructions the blessings protection and guidance that he or she will need in order to reach their goal and musk himself have mastered
most himself have received
all be
all the pertinent tantric initiations
he the guru cause have mastered or at least have obtained
a realization of the same meditations through his own practice
and must have
all of the other
requirements of a good that is to be fully knowledgeable in the methods the country methods of the
of the system of grantees and must have even more importantly these the he
qualities of great compassion purity of in ten
and so point
the student similarly thus be endowed with those qualities and qualifications that
enabled him to become a suitable
recipients of these instructions
certainly his or her motives
must be pure
the
hey
intelligence must be present within the buys and at the very least
he or she must not have violated the the tantric pledges and does and other commitments which were made at the time of initiation
if all with these qualities and requirements or credit credit and in both master and student then transmission of the teachings can take place
the through the blessing of the and guidance at master disputed too quickly i accumulate all of those qualities and attain all of those realizations which
to enable him or her to progress speedily to
liberation

which you can then also get the instructions for this abbreviated crashes eyes not recommended that you use this or any serious performance as the london office that it was the eyes on the blossoms
matches under a great starting now unlikely j spent such ten years
early in his career in mastering warm
plastering this bundle a hot yoga the mandolin offerings to if that time he
point the mandela cream a retired solution
yes
gotta love and like bedroom ha
i'm
performing this sam
this mandela offering one billion times and it was a always his
destruction to a roomba james and his status other students that a this it must be attended by the utmost
in concentration and single word in this efforts reputation visualization and up one's intent and must never be performed i carelessly or loosely
just loosely tossing rise about and place must be attended by the utmost attention minority be meaningful
perhaps at allowed that some merit some benefits like be achieved by performing practice
that's strictly i don't this is not certain
it was the same great teacher got to have an actor in the tank
one who always told his students roomba j and others that
the
who meditations
on the deities the so-called advanced meditations on the two processes
are relatively
are not are not important
the meditation with the performance of the preliminary practices
is extremely profound
that is why believing this that he devoted fifteen years
of his youth to the accomplishment of these preliminary practices
during that time he
recited
he performed the refuge meditation and i recited the refuge koreana sam
two million four hundred thousand times
he recited and for the meditation of
wiser sought to a purification thousand one million eight hundred thousand times he performed a mandela offering as we've said some one million times he performed the he performed
the prostrations the
prostration yoga
while reciting the change him a salutation verse some four million three hundred thousand times he performed the water offering one hundred and fifty thousand times he performed the offering of lights or hundred and fifty thousand times
he recited the ishijima hearse
the salutation to south hand while performing his guru yoga some six me inquiry thousand times and so forth and so on i e
himself was not reluctant to devote are many years to the patient mastery of these are essential preliminary practices before
turning to the two people are focusing is a attention during the so-called and fans tantric practices and as a result of his eye
attention to these preliminary practices his
his career
i became
extraordinary outstanding in a country that has known many extraordinary saints
remember jay said that he has himself
i read
a all of the biographies of llamas opposite tibetan mastiffs
ha that hey
in they are the various traditions for example in our own sakya tradition in the seven volumes are the
what was doing on
here's the rub
read in the seven volumes of the laundry literature
there the
in this seven volumes of the laundry military contained the biographies see complete biographies of some forty different masters in the annals of socket the to rob general
hi contained the biographies of forty or fifty other different masters and they can rob noble what are the more traditional contain the biographies of some fifty masters
in all of these works detailing lives we can't eat the lives of the greatest masters that the third contamination and in all of the literature i the roomba j a as seen in highgate nima in the loop with teachings he has
yet to find
by the name on any master who am
accomplished who are performed all of these preliminary practices so painstakingly and then went on to hampus so much in one short lifetime this was recently his holiness to john rambo j the paper
yeah i can ruin a ningbo order to rember j that a he always regretted that he had not met with that gotten now like her mha bad day from his own knowledge of his rear and premise own knowledge of the or
it's contemporaries know if the biographies of investors that he could in and he was certain that they got another like the chain was outstanding
in the land of tibet and this remedy attributes to his attention to detail and his willingness to apply and so diligently and patiently to the preliminary practices at the outset of his career so it is
oh good great fortune i've been poisoned that we now have the opportunity to receive the transmission of teachings that were that belong to this great master and to benefit from his blessings and his example and undertaking
the trading in the luminary
meditations
