the you know the prayer recited the end of that their was here

your project but jj elliott
is a given to me my not
yesterday just when it was explaining the twenty one versus the tata and the toil on the vs car actually there's many different commentaries written about this vs one that she was using yesterday was from one of the five founding llamas of the psyche has set his name is justin bamberg yeltsin and that specific
girl explanation that commentary that he'd written this is fell within the collection what's called the psychic kaboom or the collection of the socket teachings most mostly the
five founding llamas of sakya so that's the one that she'll probably use just they want she was explaining toil and versus the tata but also she's saying there was another texts written by thought another a great lama about the thirteenth or fourteenth century and or is a much larger commentary on that also
along with the twenty one vs also there's a there's a short verse that's recited by everyone at the end of the twenty one vs and get someone would like to explain a little bit about the topic else and talks about that in this commentary and she would like to explain that also
so this verse starts offices whoever has pure devotion to the deity and here pure devotion just refers to having very strong and
with your mind with three your body voice in mind completely that you have devotion to the to tara
so it says that the whoever has pure devotion to the deity and recites this with the confidence in mindfulness to mean income coming very strongly from your own heart with with great confidence and with great attention awareness that if you recite this says also remembers
earth out and also remembers her upon rising at dawn and dusk something's actually the person soon as you rise up in the morning awaken in the morning that you recite this prayer meaning that you visualize tata in front of you and then with this very great devotion and faith through your body boost in mind that you retire this prayer early in the morning and then also says have recited at dusk where
actually an evening time at nighttime and the reason that it's recited in the morning like that and at night to differences is one is in the morning this is too
to receive the blessings that toddler to receive her what's known as for peaceful activities so in other words to receive her blessings for long life increasing of your prosperity and wealth and married and being able to gain a different more types of peaceful activities that she bestows or benefits of her peaceful activities and then at night to recite it acts
the night being a very dark time and a very frightful time so invoking her blessings of a more wrathful nature to overcome any types of oh
unfavorable conditions were malevolent spirits or negative forces that may come out at night so that's why it's recited par she's remembered it says here at these specific times on the early in the morning for those one type of activities and night for the other type of activities and also says actually us was here and attacks to this texas has also remembers
her upon rising at dawn and dusk is given excellent protection from our peers so just means
just one was may actually in the morning and night actually that you will recite the whole vs but it it also says here that even just by remembering her former remembering just remembering her dislike remembrance of her alone is able to dispel any type of fear whatsoever so just by at any time and they just by her popping in your mind that whatever fear you have will be the stone
and then also says just by her remembrance remembering her and keeping her in mind that all non virtuous these da neurons are sinful actions of have accumulated before are able to be a late or pacified destroyed and also it says are negative here's as naked
an unfortunate rebirth so actually rebirth into the lower realms like the hell realms one hundred goes the animal realms and even the thoughts of those that the actions that would lead you to those actually these are also destroyed by remembrance of tata so remembering her is able to destroy your rebirth into those realms and even on another level just it's able to destroy
roy the thoughts that with time to need you to rebirth in those rooms so so in the tax had started the next courses through the recitation of this prayer that just by reciting the prior to tata the toilet vs that seventy million buddhists quickly bestow their empowerments upon you so means that the blessings of toddler so great by resigned this prayer that means
buddha's come to you to confer empowerment or confer their blessings upon you and then it says that through that the we obtain better conditions and and arrive at the ultimate buddhahood at the state of optimal buddhahood so it means that by reciting this period for tata and receiving the blessings of all these enlightened beings through that recitation that you're able to
receive what is known as the common attainments and the and the ultimate attainments or in other words that even for this life that you are able to gain different blessings and attainment such as long life and marriage and prosperity and fortunate conditions favorable conditions temporarily are conditionally and then ultimately finally that you're able to
receive the stage of pool and perfect enlightenment or buddhahood through the blessings of tara and through the blessings of the recitation of this prayer
so next it says by remembering the deity by remembering tata
we will obtain the complete elimination of violent and powerful poisons venoms located in the that okay so it doesn't want to stop at that point is by remembering the deity we will obtain the complete elimination of violet and powerful poisons so if you're actually means it through
residential the mantra that were able to overcome different poisons and here actually that doesn't mean just poisons alone but it means the poisons of the world such as attacks from robbers and thieves were other types of fearful situations that we might get into or might be presented to us that were able to eliminate or overcome all these different types of poison
it's and then also
other types of things that overcome by so also other things that are overcome by recitation that prayer things for example like not only these these fears like of these are unforeseen conditions but evil what we're talking about like the eight great fears yesterday they by reciting the prayer or remembering tata that these would be able to overcome
and also the prayer continues that venoms located in places are hidden are hidden by moving beings regarded regardless of whether they have been eaten drunk or given by another means this as even poisons actually even if someone gave you a poisoner you ate some kind of poison by accident says actually by reciting this prayer to tata are just by remembering her name or reciting her mantra
or even just by thinking about her briefly that any type of poison that you ate at that time actually that you would like vomited up where it would just run through your body like diarrhea form and it just it would pass out so quickly that you would be protected from having any ill effects from it
so then also continues as it causes the entirety of all sufferings inflicted by demons that the dynamics and poisons to completely disappear and all disappeared applies to other beings as well so here we first of all these different types of unfortunate conditions that could arise to you are the different types of sufferings that would arise to you
it through your prayers to totter and through remembering tara that all of these can be overcome they can be destroyed and completely turned back but also even by remembering this is not only just for your sake alone but by remembering the prior tata are reciting this prayer remembering tata it can also dispelled the sufferings of others to so it extends your own practice to yourself not
only to yourself with them to also are sentient beings are all other living things closer to next vs it begins by saying that through clearly reciting these phrases to three or seven times if one wants a son one will obtain one of one one's wealth all wealth will be obtained in all desires will be fulfilled without encountering obscene
calls
so here are actually just says that if one recites his prayer very clearly with very great fit to times or three times or seven times and did someone said that at times and
people had considered actually that they would recite it twice in the morning three times in the afternoon seven times at night but i mean that's not a specific practice just some people don't like that so in any case just by reciting this prayer two or three or seven times or whatever it says it all your wishes will be obtained so someone who doesn't have a child and would like to have a child through
citing this prayer these number of times with a very pure faith that that person will be able to obtain a child that if someone who has no wealth was poor
through retiring this naturally and just a very natural manner wealth would be obtained by them and the same way actually anything that you wish for i needed anything that you would really desire and his life without
very great effort in a very natural spontaneous way that these would be obtained by you through your recitation the prayer and says it also all desires will come to you will be fulfilled and also any obstacle that you have caused either by malevolent spirits or
why whatever force there are forces are all these different types of obstacles will be suppressed or they'll just be dissolved and pacified for this last verse of this part actually where it says
through clearly reciting these praises to three or seven times it's one wants a someone will obtain a sign of one months well our wealth will be attained and all desires will be fulfilled without encountering obstacles and yet so much that there's a short story about this person should like them explain that
i'm
there's a story actually did at one time via the saki lineage of the earlier stages of sakya actually during the time of the by pounding llamas there was a very great connection between the birth and the kings of china and actually kind of that time was was ruled by month the mongolian empire so how the one the great turkey or lamas by name
sakya pandita was invited by the emperor actually that tunku by gonna come to china to set up a relationship between china and for the mongol emperor and tibet so took up on earth nor the second benito went to china and he lived there for quite a number of years in establish relationship
with google icon living in the court of the of the royal palace and teaching teaching a dharma there and after some years that she's living in china he passed away he never even return to tibet that times but as his his heart heir to the throne
his the lineage continued with his nephew who's name was choking our apartment and took our apartment and she was very young at that time which you'll your papa the or went to china and live there and became the the royal priest in other words or the the royal teacher of kubla khan and also that time to grow up papa had one brother who had one son
the son's name was a cousin subtle some some over something was on volvo but apparently there was some kind of confusion or there was some type of intrigue at that point and the the mongolian emperor wasn't sure if really this one person this one son was really the son of a soppy a family or not and there was some kind of intrigued it
wasn't a real son how the family it was so there was an impostor are fake it wasn't really a true son and he was really the only one left in the family or the next part of the lineage so
well i could like i wanted to test if this was really a true son of the family and see if there was a linear going on and he ordered for so all that they come to china
so at that time actually the callback on ordered some go back to come to china and what he decided to do with him actually is that he thought that if he really was a sign of lineage that he should be all right no matter what and they actually throwing a sending off to this place called cause zynga method needs a actually used
led the your it's a another part of china are mongolia that time and actually was supposed to be really terrible place in they had a prison there was like a like a where the caligula gulag are some somebody that i want to set him up and it was said anyone who goes there never returns really and he was placed in a prison there and at the time when he was in prison actually it
was pretty much at all the leaders of sakya had gone to china mongolia so even amongst back at the monastery and sakya were very worried and they were doing prayers to the protectors all the time for their benefit
but some papa was while he was in prison he prayed very strongly and relied upon tara to receive the blessings from her and during his recitation one morning i actually thought or physically appear to him and put his put her hand on his head and as she put his put her hand on his head she recited that last verse of that prior said the
anyone who precise this prayer to three or seven times if you wish for a son you'll have one if you wish for wealthy will gain it what a whatever he desires you wish for will be attained and without any obstacles show she recited that to him and he had very great i mean it was a very great vision that appeared to him and simultaneously with that as it was happening there
outside of the palace in the in the capital which i think actually with some place in the little further north
when the when the emperor looked out of was window there's this huge kind of 'em fence or wall around the palace and on top of the wall this very huge black bird landed and and as he the placard looked up at the get the king there and started to shake his body and he started shake his body and we got very ruffled and as
the bird was shaking his body actually shook the whole palette and shook the land there and the king got very worried and thought this was actually a sign that he had made a mistake by sending this man to prison and it really was a sign that he was a son of the of the saki lineage and that he should release him and actually thought that time it's it's a good possibility that this guy or he died so cool
oakley he said some guards and messengers down to the the present to release him and simple will actually was still alive and he was brought back and when it came back and finally the the emperor the emperor said that i really have faith that you are a son of lineage but it's really important that you should have there's been many sons are many children in the
lineage and not just one so actually he gave him six wives at that time or game six women as his wife and there was one who is a minister's daughter and then five other women of that area and due to that actually had eighteen children three or three or when three were girls into teen boys so it was set actually in the saki lineage due to the blessings of
tata by giving that blessing to him are appearing to him that the lineage was actually able to prosper eighteen strong lies and then point so also for you for all of us actually in the letter you know what kind of obstacles or are unfavorable conditions might arise for us by praying to tara
will be able to overcome them and any of our wishes whatever they'd be whether it be for children or wealth or whatever our wishes are if we really have faith that thought to herself as sorry made his pledged his promise to help anyone that does rely upon her looks upon her as a special lady who looked upon with devotion so that because of her vow to help us that if we
return this with these paris that all these wishes of iris will be fulfilled
and for just generally speaking for anyone who practices the dharma really as an entrance into the dharma as a as a foundation for you don't practice it's very important just to always remember that you should always try to accomplish a ten virtuous deeds of a body was mine and that you should try it always to
give up were not engage in the ten on virtuous deeds
actually there's no that's not a teaching of the buddha himself he'd never said anything like that for that if one has very great devotion and practices from that place of devotion than actually there's no distinction between male and female
actually the time of the buddha i mean there was some talk that there was some distinctions between men and women and gentlemen was saying i that that was only at the time at that time based on cultural or social behaviors or social norms that there were seen the the different distinctions but the actual teaching the buddha himself he never said actually there was a distinction
in between the practitioners whether they be men and women
and also it says actually even within the sakya tradition that so a lot of the great practitioners of soccer when they gain their realizations when they so
gain the teaching such as of the macula or the actual what's known as a brahmin on it must brahman moncler actually this was in in india itself nothing to bed
get someone saying earlier when the practitioners were actually out in the forest are gaining their realization their first realizations actually came or the teachers came from female deity that can come from a male deity and there was one day they actually which is a form of the zucchini or was named a you gain it who would appear and give the teaching to them
so also will even in india at that time among the great seducer or people who attained a great realization like among the eighty four citizen says there were two their two or three but actually that to as that there are many many others i'm not included in that list who through their practice were able to gain realization
so awesome to bed among the other traditions there have been many and even more so the jetsam those of that within the sakya tradition over the years there have been a large number of female practitioners who have gain realizations through the practice of tata through the practice of andrew guinea and there's many histories and stories about
them so also it says actually that if one practices the dharma one can gain enlightenment or a realization but if one doesn't practice one you can gain anything so the actually it's up to you own individual self if you wish to gain some type of realization or or accomplishment on the path it's up to you to gain it and doesn't matter who you are be you and
man or woman it's through your own efforts that that's accomplished it says in the secret teachings of the virginiana that no matter who you are if you practice it says that in this one very light time that you're able to gain a stage of form perfect enlightenment that if one really practices the matter who you are if you follow the instructions of the teacher
if you follow with devotion and faith and do it correctly that anyone can attain those realizations so jetsam was saying again the the basis of the whole practice in any cases too
to get rid of on the non virtuous deeds and type of non virtue that you engage in this is actually it's not that you can just throw it away for this like not just taking off your ornaments are your you know your rings or your hearings or whatever and just throw them away it's not that simple
because is it's too strong and it doesn't work that way that really way if those in a very slow and orderly and consistent manner that you get rid of non virtuous deeds and on virtues here means like the poison and a poison that the you're engaging in eating different poisons and so i'm making you suffer but if you get rid of the poisons especially like the poisons of these desire hatred agar
currents that this will enable you to really enter into the pats very properly and the getting rid of the poisons again his son isn't something that's done immediately or it's not obvious done easily it's something that's done very gradually and very consistently and if one is able to see this and work on it in a very proper
men are very slow and steady manner then it's possible to get rid of them just to try and say okay i don't want a more desires and throw it away or no more hatred away it's not going to work it's gotta be done gradually and did someone saying that she just from own you xe in the place that we live these days
over here in america canada that it seems actually the dumb a lack of patience and elect and a lack of patience is one of the major obstacles that we face are one of the great poisons we have this just in patients and if we're able to practice patience very steadily and then also along with that too
recognize jealousy that we have she said actually especially in patients and jealousy that if we really recognize them and work on those of alleviating ourself from from those two poisons that this would be the best practice at this time
so also there are some people have been saying actually that you know in the old days before an indian tibet that there are women who gained different realizations but it wouldn't happen in the west and jetsam was saying i shouldn't matter where one is whether you're in india or tibet or he or an indian or tibet and where you're here in america or in europe or wherever you are there's no way
yea or there's no reason why women would not be gaining different realizations and actuality women will they have been and will be gaining different realizations on the path
basically she's saying how fast and how quick and how many we can't say this actually equate to the buddha's teaching at the time that we're living in right now is more of a degenerate time so in earlier times more like and the golden ages it was easier and it was
the people to gain those realizations the conditions were just more conducive for gaining realization so at this time which is called kind of the degenerate time that the conditions are not as right as they were previously with the boy is that even in in a degenerate age doesn't mean that people won't gain realizations they just have to work a little harder and
gain those favorable conditions which they need so not saying how quickly or how many but deathly saying that there is no reason and that there is every reason that people would gain women would gain realization of his time on the matter where you are is a very definite possibility and was saying actually that them
some some people are some women will say you know they've read in scripture they've been told that the women are able they're not capable gaining enlightenment and she said if you keep that your mind if you hold that your mind and then try to practice with that it creates its own problems and actually there's no reason there's no place in the in the scriptures it says woman
cannot gain enlightenment so what's the process for gaining enlightenment are gaining different realizations is your own practice as your own endeavor and if you've got a strong endeavor in a strong practice study one then there's no reason why you wouldn't gain it if you don't practice new don't have the right motivation and the right practice to do it you're not going to gain anything but defaults yours doesn't
or what you are who you are so with the proper motivation or with the proper idea and practice even in this time there's gonna be many
women who will be gaining realizations so did someone said that she was able to come here yesterday saturday and sunday yesterday today and to be able to give some teachings and share the dharma with you and relationship of teacher and student and she that this is a very fortunate event in a very auspicious occasion for august
come together and she was just like to make some prayers at this time with the wish that everyone will be able to accomplish these teachings and to gain benefit through them as also so she said actually this point that people would like to ask some questions if you have questions please ask you don't have questions the last eleven
and she wants to do some dedication prayers that that here
if you have i have to practices i could i do a pretty easily well as well and giovanni yogini and think to a tire and i did not real keen for a and just recently the last year i've been devoting myself more to tara i feel a real strong connection to tar now i feel that i'm pretty much do value your
kieny by rote mechanically and i don't have that connection and i'm wondering why her guidelines would be for doing two different practices and how are you know if you can feel more towards on as has to another are you know what would the guidelines wiki
two different problems isn't saying if you have very great devotion and faith tara
and this is your practice that you feel very strongly with indefinitely should you should do that in regards to the budget guinea that she sang if you made a pledge in front of your teacher that you were going to do this and you made a promise that you are you wanted to do this practice daily than actually she said in the greatest problem in adrianna is
to go against your promises your pledges this makes the most complications of everything of anything and the teaching so if you've made a promise and you made a pledge that really you are going to do that practice that you said you should continue it to accomplish your your promise and if you didn't make a promise and didn't make a great pledge said doesn't matter and then you should just go
with where your heart is settled
yeah
hello will i can doing three
practices on janitor and fifteen
yoga different times
it seems some at least sometimes when i practice i actually you see clear bright mind and it's very wonderful and then it seems i gonna work and i forget
and
i think that's my my biggest frustration where impatience is that i see it and i forget and i would like some advice about that
so what was the end of your question than i
the euro crisis i'm impatient because i forget i see clear mind when i practice and then i go to work and i forget i don't see it anymore
and i am mentation i'd like to know honking
there's another thing i see is just a sign of as unstable unstable mind i'm not not as you ever
so she was they actually a really good thing to do is just
she's actually is like if she has to make a card during the daytime some time you know and she'll forget about so she writes a person's phone number on her hand and then she's working on oh yeah there's that phone number there are she said actually what you need a reminder you know either like maybe right sending a clear mind write something on your hand or saturday or just remember something you know something in your room or in your workplace that if you see the
every time you look at that thing that's gonna remind you about that clear mind thing she said actually into that she said this isn't the only place people have an unstable mind that in tibet actually even in meditation cells that they would put many writing on the wall is as you know don't let your mind wanders those persons meditating kind of look at yeah they'll let you might wanna and
let's get back to that players jetsam as i actually just minds a very strange tricky thing and she's always going somewhere else that you don't want it to go so you have to work within bring it back
medina county
ah the ample i a connection between a jealousy
there
patience my experience has being
jealous re-used motivation
the nation's sort of the mornings
the better

so but first proper answer there's different types of motivation just the word motivation by itself doesn't mean good motivational good motivation bad motivation i mean there's different shades of meaning of the same word said for example
if someone she's a good example someone gives her or not her but someone gives you money let's it's someone gives you one hundred dollars and you have a thought at that time we maybe your dorm or practitioner and someone gives you an offering like a one hundred dollars and if you had at that time you ever thought this is a very great offering by that person is it's a benefit from that person or practicing giving their pack
pissing letting go of things and you're thinking about the benefit or the other benefit horizon for that person sake for the type of d that they did that's actually good motivation because you're thinking about the other person you're thinking about what good it is for them so that's the case of good motivation but at the same time if someone would give you that money
and you would think all this is wonderful i got one hundred dollars you know and it must be that i'm very you know very dignified hi looking lama or i'm a very great practitioner and people want to make offerings to me and it must be actually that i'm getting more famous and more wonderful because people are coming here and making offerings to me if you have that kind of motivation attempts
to an improper motivation or in pure motivation so it's the same situation the same hundred dollars of the same act but with that same as you can see it from a positive way or negative way and a simple same type of thing with motivation it can be seen positively or negatively
it actually made a mistake of those because it was saying actually what you wanted to say was to look for the point of view with person's giving not the person who is receiving it so for example the person was giving the money or whatever it they have a motivation that you know they just want to practice giving they want to engage in this act of dharma and this way hit that motivation would be a very pure motivation
one but if they're doing it for the state that they're giving something to someone else and they want them to look at them in a very you know in a very nice way in a good light all your nice person or your wonder for whatever
from the point of view of the person is giving it their giving it with that kind of motivation and mine just for their sake of their own benefit you know they want to get something out of it and that's an impure motivation
so also she say actually i mean that comes from both sides the giver who gives also has this motivation either a proper motivation or proper motivation and then also what i think before he mentioned the from the receiver side also that there can be a problem motivation or an improper motivation both sides can come out
so doesn't say just generally i mean all the different types of afflictions like the desired hatred and ignorance or especially like gum in patients and and jealousy there are arising from the same place i'm coming from that same idea of not getting what you want are being dissatisfied and since are arising from that place that they're in
pure and that says
does that answer your question
yeah i can hear
in you write my own situation has check mark of time i like have a picture to see hot lately when she reckoned knew how quiet tara

huh
he said the and after your list
my check
last night
hi you
the the green entire practice
with we asked to do so i didn't i just don't hear the end of which is verses how how to have more all have asked for her
most
she's a basically there's not any contradiction in those
from the point of view actually bought him a reality that from this point of view that when an obstacle arises it's actually and arising a reflection of your own mind it due to your own causes conditions to your karma that these obstacles will appear so the seat of your own obstacles within you and then it takes on a physical or mental parents as if there's something
affecting you from the outside or opposing you
but from an ultimate point of view there's really no obstacle that to rising costs arising from mine which is unreal should start with so from a point of view of meditating on the state of emptiness or the condition of emptiness will see the actually their own mind and the obstacles arising from them don't have any reality any real existence of their own so what happens then is
is taking it from that point of view that that's what we're trying to reach that when you're practicing the mind training practice like the theater teacher who taught for example what you're doing that she's trying to create the thought of enlightenment or the thought of i'm not gaining the stage of for perfect enlightenment so that if something arises of an obstacle rises than through
of mine training or through meditation or patients you're trying to redirect that energy into a state of understanding ultimate reality of understanding emptiness
from the point of view of like practicing tata for example what's happening is that one an obstacle rises because we can't see ultimate reality but we want to direct our mind towards that we're seeing actually that maybe someone's cause the if an obstacle and what we gonna do then is to create a thought of compassion for them so when we pray the tata for example to overcome this obstacle what we're doing is trying not just for ourself alone
that we also will overcome the suffering from the up school but also who's ever creating this obstacle loss or gain a state of freedom from that so it's just like taking two different routes to get to that same place of of understanding
have a question about mts practiced it fetches must tell us yesterday his estate where you're supposed to go into state of emptiness is there a specific practice just masses for that in in practice for can she talk about
the minutes is a specific time in the sodden when that should be done know i know this
can be done but when that time comes
okay
the zuma saying after you could do it two times during the meditation and we want just before the meditation you can practice so of personal meditation that point just in order to bring your mind to estate over
happiness or bliss and just by doing that actually just putting my in a very relaxed state you through a short concentration than just letting your mind relax without a searching her without being distracted just letting it sit quietly then in the practice itself is right at the end of the practice where it says actually did the throne that you're sitting on the to the moon
skin the in the lotus dissolved in the light are absorbed into the bought into your body said at that point actually what should you should do is just have a thought that you really are tata and with that thought in mind just that your tata just rest your mind in that thought so not to try to create any other ideas not to create divisions at tata but just thinking that you are cada that you really are this being and
is enlightened being restroom mine just within that
and then just stay within that without the mind wandering without trying to do any other types of emptiness practices that point just merged together with this thought or this vision of tata and your mind being just a very still stay
and she's had actually because also this is a lower tantra practice the in some of the uno toyota tundra practice there's a lot of explanations are different methods for doing that type of meditation here she said because it's lower tantric practice it doesn't discuss that and the best thing to do then is just to merge that form an emptiness together at that point
yeah i've been taught that
testing is are eating okay i'm thinking about what i want but i don't want coffee i'm thinking about
she
self ah
when i think about
am i worshipped i don't ask for twenty eight september addicts so i have gained it plan may ask for something specific then i think probably have anything i would ask for would be next lift my hands health
ha with not yourself planning to try to so let us the appropriate late
well isn't a pastime a portion of just be asking
come to actually did someone say if you want to practice dharma that's a desire
also so anything you do really has a desire involved with it but distinction that she's your motivation that whatever your motivation is going back to that thought before there's a pure motivation in pure motivation if you have a pure motivation no matter what you want it is with a pure motivation than its it'll be a benefit and it won't create enough
obstacle for you or anyone else
and
fill us in touch
it so for example like if you want to it
if you want to practice dharma if you don't have food you know have a house and live and you don't have a test your your daily requirements you not even able to practice dharma let alone even to think about other things to even also people a lot of people of
will want to take refuge in in the triple gem for example even just to gain the ordinary daily requirements because they're seeking refuge or the seeking blessing from the border of the triple gems on the same way when you seek blessings from tata in many ways i mean you're asking for something in a sense you know but if you're asking for those things if you're seeking to fulfilling the things that you need with with
the proper motivation in other words if you think i would i wish to obtain this and then once i obtained this or with this i'm gonna work i want to practice dharma i'm going to benefit others it's not for just my sake alone but really i want to obtain this for a higher purpose for a greater reason not for selfish reason and wanting to practice a dharma basically it's not
selfish reason if you're looking to benefit others if you're looking to help others so also if you want if you need other things in in this life so that you can be comfortable and be able to practice dharma in a very proper way if you combine that together with this proper motivation of i'm you know i need this thing i needed in order to practice dharma i knew
this in order to work for others i need this in order to bring happiness to other people as well as myself than with that kind of motivation had actually destroys desire
it works it works it works against it yeah
the question
oh highness
okay
him
have perfect companion
because how i wanted to ask i had to questions in the first one is if they're special prayer as you want to ask for your support for other people let is the appropriate time in the patches to do that and she you visualize i can person next to you are as anything special
here the time of doing meditation practice when you recite the mantra for example at the height of the mantra recitation of the visualization that from the letter time in the montrose you in your heart light reservation out touching all sentient beings and benefiting them so at that time actually if you have someone special in mind when you can do then is visualized that that library goes out the lights go out and
much everyone but specifically they will go to that person and that like ray would touch them purify them of our faults or defilements or illnesses or or obstacles and in that light will come back and return to you so very specifically that time you can do that visualization now come on
i can i ask most exciting
yourself
if she said also put yourself that's a good thing i've used to recite the twenty one vs to tata at that time visualizing cutter funny you really feel and pray that of your obstacles would be removed
you said oh yes
should have a funny question that i i feel at each of us probably is
hiding our own way of connecting to tara but i wanted to make sure that i wasn't doing completely inappropriate and so i wanted to ask is it all right during the day instead of any time during the day to visualize tara and say her mind train imagine that nectar is coming down the reason i asked us be
cause i'm not a vegetarian so i wonder if that appropriate given all the other home
your neck to and in visualizing her in front of your isn't well i tell you feeling that i that we in my friends if i'm driving down the freeway and everybody's driving crazy then i like to visualize tire and the sky and others green light coming out at me and but now i'm thinking well
maybe that's sort of just a westerner you are messing around and not to be happy
who said that he does it doesn't okay of set of business as yeah young the service or many nougat adama does not want a player didn't have to have lost all of atlanta like anything we here on the higher muslim of
apple twos
withdraw and nicotine and the universe was doesn't demand they use such as the news i'm cheating a little has the cigarette some their users in the was some contests are not toyota's teacher caught some motor due to the cover namah namah years and then you tend to travel number use on it
and a kitchen and control i'm never use some them because of got song of a normal kathakali a result of the killmonger unhindered trevelyan and none yet on a years and was in atlanta georgia the travails of as the
he's a of muslim a muslim february ten eternal human do than gonna get more so he actually
from the point of view of being that's turn on the thomas is actually heard her husband both every morning they do target practice before they eat or in early on and then during the day are times i mean they meet in any time they recite prayers i mean either prior to time or the the mantra at any time during the day and it just doesn't matter that one point of view
visualizing tata she said as long as you have faith that if you're doing it with a very great faith with a proper faith in your heart is it doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing you can visualize tata to be anyplace whatsoever i mean over the freeway or anywhere it just it doesn't matter i'm just a if you're doing this with faith and you reciting her montreux or her prayer or just
thinking of her blessing you with libraries or whatever
it's fine as good as
yeah
well i'm my questions what is the potter faith because how i mean
i i
i'm time
is
so
i e

it's also basically it's like ah
if you have trust in your parents you trust your parents you trust your husband or your boyfriend or you trust an order some other friend that you have are you trust your children i mean there's certain type of faith that arises that they're a good person through do me good i have a good relation i know they're not going to subvert into some kind of subversive actions toward
near whatever that sexual favors so also if you know through understanding coup tata is through you know just the her hearing her practice or history or whatever and you know that she is a benefit if you create that same kind of trust that's what trust this as with papers
no
i've been getting her
i still have
right
