Well wishes and prayers for all those who harm Buddhadharma and practitoners.
« on: September 21, 2010, 02:26:04 pm »
On this day as kindly suggested by Tashi Nyima we should all pray for the long life, well being, mental peace and Happiness for all those who harm us and the Buddhadharma, Let this be a time where we embrace the Essence of Buddhadharma and practise accordingly to benifit even those who harm us.  :pray:

A man sees the rope in the twilight he mistakenly apprehends a snake and develops fear. To remove this fear he must remove the mind apprehending a snake by realizing that there is no snake. Even then, if the rope is left in the same place there is a danger that the same mistake will be made in the future. The only way to remove this danger is to remove the rope. Similarly, sentient beings observing their aggregates in the darkness of their ignorance mistakenly apprehend an inherently existent I. This mind grasping at an inherently existent I is the root of samsara and the source of all fear. To remove the fears of samsara we must remove this mind by realizing that there is no inherently existent I.

Geshe-la.

Tashi is most wise.  We do not need to wait for a set date to exercise compassion for those whose negative karma harms others.

'Forgive those who trespass against us' - and exercise Compassion in a form which helps them avoid future bad karma thought their actions. ;) 

Prayers for the long life of our root gurus and praise of the lineage masters can be a daily practice. :)
