Kuan Yin Days
« on: July 17, 2011, 10:39:27 am »
Starting today, 17 July 2011, thru 23 July many Buddhists around the planet will be reciting chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra. This chapter deals with Avalokiteshvara or Kuan Yin, and the merit from such recitation is dedicated to all beings finding and treading the path to buddhahood successfully.

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.
