and one receives all the blessings and particularly the blessings to enable you to gain the wisdom. Wisdom to realize the selflessness of all, the personal and phenomenal selflessness. And so with this we conclude as a conclusion first promise to hold all the rules and pledges and then the mental offering and then the dedication of merits. dewa ngo, ten sung kun du ya, nyi mo la ma gyur gong mun tse mo, rang gi nyi ge dang ben de deng la shug pa ra sam la, myo gyi dun drang pe pa chen na, pha chen khan kye kyang mi tsok shin, chen la tam chen chok nyi pa yin, de la tam ben la ma nang chok la, nyam len tsok shin du gyi nyam pe ko ne, nyi chen du, tsok yi chen dar, ga chen pa, de la tam chen, zang gyi gyi,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for coming to visit here in Portland, and also we appreciate very much your last four days teaching, which is a great benefit for all of us here in Portland.

[05:52]

And this is kind of beginning time. And this is for the Huijin Shoujian Chunderlings, one of the, I think, best program we had here because of our director and our members. And His Holiness, we are requesting you So your teaching and your initiation is as much as sunshine for us. And thank you very much. And also I'd like to take a little opportunity to express behalf of the Bodhicharyavatara to our director, Sonam Lama,

[07:05]

He's skillful organization, organizing the center and the program. And also, he has so much knowledge. In western knowledge, of course, he was born and raised over here. And then he went to India and studied Sanskrit, Tibetan. and the tremendous knowledge he got from it and now he's starting to practice his knowledge to benefit for us so we appreciate very much for your skill and direction and help for us and we love you and we support your tremendous work for the benefits for others and I'm sure His Holiness will be very happy for your work, which you are doing for us.

[08:18]

And also I'd like to take opportunity to appreciate our members of the Buddhian Jurisdiction, their skill, their devotion, and their courage, which is very enlightened for all of us to do this kind of project. As you all know, that the membership and their skill, membership's skill, put this tremendous good program which benefits all of us in the future. And also I'd like to take opportunity to Thank you for all the friends of dharma friends. We are all become as a dharma friend. And also we are now disciple of His Holiness Sakyacindy.

[09:20]

And I really don't need to take too much time, but I'd like to say a few words to say His Holiness is the one of the most tradition in Tibetan lineage holder and the Sakya lineage holder and the Sada historically Tibetan Sadya lineage is a tremendous benefits for the Tibetans for many years and his holiness is we are fortunate still he is young and he has all the lineage all the skill and all the courage so I see in the future opportunity for us to practice as he's calling it as part of Dharma practice, which is a beneficial for not only our own zone, but all the sentient beings. And now it's kind of up to us how we're going to practice.

[10:28]

We got all the initiations, which is Vajrapani for the power and Jambelyang for the wisdom and we had a little discussion before His Holiness came here what initiation would benefit for us as a beginner I feel some of them I'm sure advance but for us kind of beginners so we discussed a little bit some you know His Holiness has one of the highest step, the generosity, and Khyam Nang Dorje and Jampen Yang is the most profound and most suitable for our level this time. I'm sure in the future, if we do practice right, if we do participate, I'm sure we will get higher initiations from His Holiness since I always say His Holiness is still young and His compassion is always just like a sunshine so His touch and the rings so hook is there but the rings are have to be nice and round so that's the kind of Mahayana thing

[11:55]

And I'd like to take the opportunity for the Tibetan community. They provided tremendous Tibetan dishes, which His Holiness enjoyed very much. And also, on church, very much, because we had a lot of discussions with the food during the last three days. They said, don't want to eat too much, because it will affect life. While we are insisting them, well, it's okay, you know, get fed once a while is not bad idea. So they had a good time too. And so we, our connection has begun very well, very satisfied, and His Holiness, in his expression, and he is very enjoy here we don't have a sunshine and because after all we have a little talk with his holiness he said in India where he live right now has too many sunshine too much sunshine so we you know our director tell his holiness his holiness this is part of our offering for the cloud so we have a good time and good luck and good memory for all of us

[13:21]

So bottom of our heart and this the program success is that all of you and I hope everybody will do practice individually as a group if like to practice as a group. Kakyamuni Buddha and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche is already organized and we have a well-skilled membership and a well-skilled director and the brochures and the telephone numbers and everything Around there, times we meet once a week or twice a week, whole detail down there, time to time. And we hope you people visit us and participate us, and let's make some more offerings. And Rinz, thank you very much, His Holiness, for coming and giving us tremendous teaching. No, no, no.

[27:03]

Praying for our teachers' perfect health, praying for our teachers' ageless lives, praying that their works will grow and spread, not too far from them, O, let's make peace. May they have burnt lives on a plight. May they hold the teachings of life. May their pain and glory spread through space. So I would like to thank you very much for all of you being very kind and especially the members, the president and the members of the Wujian Zhoujie Xuanzui Ling who have worked very hard in arranging my trip here in Portland and it has been a great joy

[28:27]

to be able to visit this beautiful city and have a chance to meet many people who are interested, sincere and very interested in the teachings of the Buddha. And it is a great joy for me to share whatever little knowledge that I have of the Buddha's teachings for the last few days. to be with you and to share with you. As I, many of times the Dalai Lama have indicated that in our life we have many things to do but there's no more important than the Dharma practice. Dharma practice is the only thing that gives us the real comforts and the real peace And it is the only way to solve our sufferings.

[29:33]

And so therefore, that when we have all the right conditions, that it is very important to practice it. In the past, in India, as well as in Tibet and many countries, there were many, many great masters. who have, through the same kind of teaching, the teachings that we practice now, the deities that we practice now, the meditations that we do now, through the same kind of practice, but with a great diligence, and that they have succeeded in attaining the higher realization, and gain the real insight wisdom through which that they have clear all those curations and gain the real insight wisdom through which that they have benefited countless sentient beings.

[30:50]

And so now also if we practice it, there is no reason that we also be able to gain such realizations. Because in the beginning, many of these great masters also, just like us, ordinary persons, but through the great diligence and the efforts, they've been able to remove the all forms of obscurations, and then gain the inside wisdom, and got very great realizations, so that not only they themselves are permanently free from the from all forms of obscuration, but gain so much wisdom that they can benefit with so many sentient beings. So we also, since we have all the right conditions, we have the seed, we have the right conditions, we have the teaching and everything, then

[32:05]

there is no reason that we will also obtain such a thing. So when we have such an opportunity, when we have to do such a goal, such an opportunity, that we do not, if we lose this, instead if we cling to the ordinary actions, if we caught up in the worldly activities that do not have benefit, much benefit, and so therefore, by quoting up in these ordinary actions and if we lose the higher goal, if we lose the higher opportunity, then that is the great loss that no one can replace. And so therefore, It is a very joy to see that so many people are interested in the Buddha's teaching. And I have been to the several times here in the West, and every time that I see that there's improvements in many ways, and so therefore it is a great joy to see, and I can see that it is already a great beginning.

[33:26]

And so now with this beginning that we mature, bring up together with a diligence and sincere faith and diligence and then just like when you have the seed and the right conditions, then there is no reason that it will ripen in due course, in due course full fruit. It will not be able to bear the full fruit. So therefore, first of all, I would like to request everyone who received teachings from me to practice dharma very diligently. When you practice dharma, there are basic structures. laid down by the great masters that are common to all the traditions, the Hinayana, Mahayana and the Vajrayana. All of these, the first thing is to be of good moral conduct.

[34:32]

Just like the earth is the base for all the animate and inanimate objects. Similarly, the base for all the quality is the good moral conduct. Without the good moral conduct, one could not gain the higher qualities. And so, therefore, the good moral conduct, whatever vows that one has received, For instance, for most lay people, since here is mostly lay people, that the basic rule is to have a sincere devotion and faith in the Tibur Zem and then to keep the five precepts. That is common to all. So this is very important. To keep the five precepts and to abstain in a more elaborate way is that is to keep the, to abstain, to abstain from the ten non-virtual states.

[35:34]

and to practice, in other words, to practice the ten virtuous deeds. And that is the very basic thing. When you enroll on the spiritual path, the very first thing is to practice this. And then based on this, based on the good moral conduct, is the studying, contemplation and the meditation that needs to equally lead If we devote the full time only on study, that is also not right. But if you devote the full time only on the contemplation and only on one side, it is not right. First thing is to study. We need to divide the time equally on the study. Without study, that we can't meditate. In order to practice dharma, one must know first what one is going to practice.

[36:36]

And after studying, if we spend the full time on studying, that is also not right, because the main thing, after studying what we are going to do is to meditate. Because only through the meditation that we can eliminate the defilements and awakening the inner wisdom. And so that the study is first, and what we study, whatever the knowledge that one gain, then to put that into the actions in day to day's life, in everyday life, within our 24-hour daytime life, that if we could practice that whatever little knowledge that one has, that we could put into the practice, then the purpose of giving the teaching is being fulfilled. Otherwise, when the lamas come, and the teachers come, and sometimes, and occasionally, that one practice, receive many teachings, but in day-to-day's life,

[37:50]

Every day life, if you just remain in the same ordinary life, then the purpose of the giving teaching is not fulfilled. And the main purpose of giving the teaching is to tame our mind. The Lord Buddha gave 84,000 piles of teachings, and this is to all of them are to tame our mind. Our mind which is so much involved with the defilements, which is so easy to involve with the defilements. Because it has been associated with the defilements from the beginning last time, so therefore it is very difficult to eliminate these defilements. And so by applying in everyday life, after receiving the teaching, after doing the practice, that if there is a change, if there is a change that there is a lesser defilement, lesser confusion, the lesser anxiety, and the more calm, and more peace, and more

[39:10]

relaxation and the more develops the more quality side of the mind like a loving kindness and the compassion and then the the teaching is really working so therefore to practice to emphasize on the practice after receiving the teaching is very very important and It is just like receiving the empowerment and the teaching is like planting a seed. If we plant the seed and did not care, then even if it is at the right spot, it will not grow. Or even if it grows, it will not grow properly. To grow properly, to bear the fruits, the good fruits that it needs continuous care and efforts. So after receiving this teaching that everybody must work hard, and to work, to do the continual practice, the community is also very important.

[40:27]

Just one person is difficult, so the community is very important. And because when you have the community, then one can discuss and one can experience. The whole purpose of taking refuge in the Sangha is to share the experience and to rely on help from each other. And so therefore, the community is very important. And those who are interested here, here is the center, the Ugyen Chogye Chonzhi Ling, who started by his eminence Chogye Thich Nhat Hanh Rinpoche. Chogye Thich Nhat Hanh Rinpoche is one of the very few great masters who possess the wisdom of not only through the study, but the real inner wisdom. The real inner wisdom through the meditation

[41:32]

obtained very high realizations. Not only well-known in our tradition, but he is also well-known in all the Tibetan traditions. All the great masters have taken him as their guru and received the profound teachings in every, most lineages. And I myself, one of my most important root gurus and from whom I have received all the collection of tantra, which means that, which contains all the major empowerment of not only our tradition, but the traditions of all the Tibetan Buddhism. And so therefore he is very great and so when he came here last year, that it was the the right, the proper time, the proper place, and with the interdependent originations that Rinpoche has been able to establish the center here, Ugyen Chogye Chonso Ling.

[42:47]

And so, and it has the many good members and especially a very good scholar and And the skillful means like Sonamla, who have been a very old friend of mine, and actually through his that I learned a little English. All the English that I have spoken is through his efforts. So the one who has the real knowledge of the old, the required knowledge of the the Sanskrit, Tibetan and English all. So therefore it has the very good opportunity. So those who are interested can participate in this and so that the Dharma could continue, flourish through one's own practice as well as for the benefit of wider audience.

[43:49]

So if we could do this then of course that is the most... I will be very very happy to see and I will also pray that all of you to have a real success in your worldly life and as well as in your spiritual life. for your own practice as well as the noble task of spreading the Buddha's teaching throughout the United States. So with this now I conclude and may the blessings of the Lord Buddha and his teaching and the Sangha be with you now and always. Thank you. And thanks to you all for your participation and friendship.

[45:00]

We're very happy to come together and meet all of you on this auspicious occasion. We look forward to continuing contact and friendship in the future. There you will find many useful books and other Dharma objects. will be very meaningful and beneficial to those who will be benefitted by its proceeds.

[46:21]

That is to say, thank you, Chant of Chilling Centres. Some books and wares from the bookstore have looked at them. They're all very useful items.
