Blessings from Palden Dorje

[TheSebsteele]

This is the kind of people we should put our faith and trust in. Not the vengeful and deceiving people we listen to today, the medias aggresive attitude and attempts to make this person a science subject is a tragedy and a shame. I wish i could follow his example and not feel animosity or anger, but i do; towards the destructive nature of mankind and their ignorance in looking for answers all over the universe when it's right in front our eyes all along, towards my self for being a part of it.

@TheSebsteele Thank you, thank you. May all beings be tranquil...

@dyrdek68 :)

@KhenpoDarma

he sure does work out

[KhenpoDarma]

@missionaryoffaith Probably...whether it is meditation or breathing, but I think he might make prostrations as part of his daily tapas (devotion/penance), unless he is the type that is muscular without working out...there are such people ...and even animals as well.

[missionaryoffaith]

does he eat know...?

[KhenpoDarma]

@missionaryoffaith By his own words, not. I have always opted to answer this "I don't know," but recently in an article, he reportedly said he was not eating yet. He was not sure whether this state of inedia would continue at the end of his meditation...he's playing it by hEARt. (He gets permission to eat or not eat from his Bhagvan.)

[KhenpoDarma]

Dear Friends and Sangha,

Please look up the following article

False Buddha Boy Report Leaves Nepal Reeling in response to world newspapers. It is really quite unpardonable that the world news, without much thought, would take the word of 17 armed aggressors over a Tapasvi who has fastidiously meditated for over 5 years and adheres to the Pancha Sila.

[raghavnadkarni]

I find him extremely hot and sexy.......those well toned muscles, flowing hair, that beautiful, innocent smile.............. wish i could hold him and kiss him :)

[KhenpoDarma]

@raghavnadkarni ....and when that moment has passed, how will you be in the present?

[snoopyum]

@raghavnadkarni me too, a great personality!

om mani peme hung guru  palden dorje mero tarfa bato tapai lay sat sat pranam om mani peme hung

[McNothin]

Would buddha want to be worshipped? Would he even be comfortable with giving blessings as though he were a living deity? If he were a living buddha he would know that this act of worshipping another causes more harm than good, and he would discourage it.

[KhenpoDarma]

Very good point.

Possibly Palden Dorje is simply following Tibetan tradition. But I would certainly ask if given the opportunity!

[KhenpoDarma]

Palden Dorje calls for us to worship without harm.

Yet there is also a certain strengthening of the will that takes place in those who have come to receive blessings. It is like a raft, to be used at a certain level and then abandoned.

Thank you McNothin for your insight!

Does anyone know where I can download this amazing music. It touches me soooooo deep. Is it on a specific recording? She has so many. This version is like cosmic bliss.

[jp9t2]

@McNothin . I am a student , 17 years old , and the only family member in my family who actually practices buddhism , so you know that I am not "brain-washed". I practice on my own will and the people around me change for the good when I got into the mahayana path , not the thervada path. You know nothing about buddhism. This is not worship, this is taking refuge. This is getting blessed to have holy beings guiding you and protecting your mind. An unprotected mind is like a raging elephant.

[KhenpoDarma]

@jp9t2 Thank you. You know, jp9t2, I perhaps don't know much about buddhism myself, having been raised Catholic. I also "take refuge" now in the mornings, and you have clarified the meaning for me.

[jp9t2]

@McNothin When I don't take refuge in the morning and do my practices then I am very vulnerable to commit actions that would lead to negative karma. I would know because I did a test on days that I do not protect my mind. When you get blessed your mind will be more protected. Its well clear that most people in this world do not have their minds protected daily on how corrupted the world has gone. But no one is to be blamed since this is a degenerate era (kali yuga, look it up) .

[anjaladevi]

@McNothin : I was always under the impression that the act of worship benefits the worshipper, karmically speaking. It elevates the mind, purifies it, and ultimately merges the worshipper into the Godhead.

[alohagypsy]

KhenpoDarma, you've done it once more. Thought I'd seen them all and discovered this one....as always, beautifully done, moving....tears and chills....pure joy, pure love. Metta...

[KhenpoDarma]

Thank you. You can imagine I was practically falling to pieces while taking the film!

Metta and Maitri to you too, Alohagypsy!

From November 18th to the 23rd, 2009 Palden Dorje will be giving blessings in Gadhi Mai. He plans this appearance in order to protest the sacrificing of tens of thousands of animals before they take place on the 24th at the Gadhi Mai Festival near Nijgad in Bara District. Please participate in any way you can. Tell all your friends! There is also a news article and a petition to stop Gadhi Mai animal sacrifice.

[KhenpoDarma]

Yes, it means Glorious Diamond.

Diamond, or Dorje is also a blessing "weapon". Almost like a Diamond cutter, it cuts away the Ego, and makes our true essence shine like a Diamond.

[THORA2012]

Can you answer me what Palden Dorje

means ?

Best regards to all of you :)

[loveisnow2]
