Black Manjushri practice - instructional video by Apprentice Liaison James Long! (Chinese)

[wanwaimeng]

Are you talking in terms of improving the environment like feng shui ?

Why don't you just try out the practice, it can never harm you.

[xthia25]

It is possbile to make self-visualizaion even without initiation? Or just front generation?

[wanwaimeng]

@xthia25 I'm not very familiar with tantric stuff yet, when you say front generation you mean visualize the deity in front of us?

We were not given initiation mostly. But this is one really effective practice, even without initiation, I have headaches all the time due to eye strain and the moment I do this prayer I feel all my nerves relaxing. very effective practice!

Our sadhana we don't visualize ourselves as Black Manjushri if I recall correctly.

[xthia25]

@wanwaimeng Yes! For most practices of deities, you can visualize them at the height of your forehead, radiating blessings and purifying. Then at the and the deity merges with you and you meditate in emptiness. But in general, after receiving the initation you can also visualize yourself as the deity, making complex mudras and etc. Can you please ask to Rinpoche if this practice has any connection for healing saturn and other bad planetary influences, please. 阿彌陀佛，功德無量！

[bhusukumode]

This is very good! I just wished it is in English to explain the Black Manjushri practice. Besides the specific benefits of Black Manjushri, Manjushri bestows purification of speech that will purify speech that is unclear, causes schism or misunderstanding and also have the ability to move people towards the Dharma. Hence, Manjushri's blessings is very powerful!

[bhusukumode]

I think there is nothing more powerful, enlightening and empowering by tapping in Manjushri's transcendent wisdom. It is through acquiring the 7 types of wisdoms that we come to a realization of our condition and we transform ourselves. Black Manjushri's mantra Om Ah Ra Pa Tsa Na Dhi Hum!

[frozbyte23]

Black Manjushris is enlightened wisdom in its most forceful and powerful form. The mantra to destroy all obstacles towards accomplishing anything in life is Om Ah Ra Pa Tsa Na Dhi Hum.

[bhusukumode]

Black Manjushri retreat is postponed till the current pujas are completed. I can't wait! I love Black Manjushri practice! I love gaining wisdom, memory, understanding and creativity along with clearing obstacles for TKL to come up.

[loafer108]

I heard there is a Black Manjushir Retreat going to start soon, please contact KH administrator for detail. Hope to see you there.

[ntadk]

Yes, we want to have an english version of this teaching...

[bhusukumode]

How exciting! It's black Manjushri! Can you kind people at Kechara Tsem Tulku YouTube come up with the English version as well? Thank you!!!

[ntadk]

How/Where can I get more on the Black manjushri prayer text? Thank you.

[bhusukumode]

ntadk: Black Manjushri was recommended by HE Tsem Rinpoche's Lama for us to do in order to clear obstacles for TKL to materialize. A retreat was organized by Liaison Mr Ngeow before and I think you can get a copy if you write an email to them or Mr Ngeow directly.

[loafer108]

Can black manjushri practice help in the healing of Swine flu / H1N1 flu? Please help. Thank you very much.

[drakula101]

very clear explanation on how one can practise Black Manjushri. with how we can recite mantra, how to prostrate. very good. James. Thank you very much. I must watch this video again. Maybe James can also do one for English version?

[Bigwheeloflife]

His Eminence is compassionate to provide all his students with the this tantric practice for this students that can overcome depression and illness.

[Bigwheeloflife]

Rinpoche is training up his students to become instructors. You can see history is in the making.

[newvision90]

The nine round breathing exercise taught by James is very effective in calming the mind !

[drmanhattan73]

Rinpoche is very kind to provide us with the Black manjushri practice which can potentially help us against many types of illnesses .

[healingsbuddha]

Thanks for posting this video, the explanation is very clear, i can start practise the Black Manjushri since it got so many benefits....Can anyone tell me where can i get the Black Manjushri Sadhana????

[CindyCiak]

buddhistfollower118, thanks for your explanations on this practice. I too hope there will be one video with English explanation on this practice, since it should be beneficial to many people.

[buddhistfollower118]

ahantu: The below context is taken from Ngalso Tantric Self-Healing Meditation & Exercises of Balck Manjushri....Hope this will make clears to your doubts..... and i believe what James trying to say here is following the below text in Black Manjushri Prayers book.....

[ahantu]

Thanks for the explaination. :) Now it makes sense.

[buddhistfollower118]

Amongst the numerous benefits of this practice, it particularly helps, both mentally and physically, those suffering from so-called "incurable" diseases such as AIDS and cancer. It helps us to confront and deal with the negative emotions, such as anger, depression, fear and denial, which arises when we are challenged by such diseases or when we are confronted with problems in our daily life...........

[buddhistfollower118]

Black Manjushri is the wraftful healing form of Manjushri that helps us to heal our deep inner negative emotions and mental suffering that arise due to sickness or problems......It is also a powerful antidote against the harm and disturbances caused by negative astrological influences.....

[sotonguy123]

It would be nice if there are more of these videos teaching us how to do some practices which will be very beneficial to the practisioners. It would be nice too if we can talk about this in the net. Maybe we can chat here if we have any questions to ask. Hopefully James is there to answer hehe

[yangming10]

I like James too! He has presented the Black Manjushri talk very clearly and detailed. It is a very informative video! Great video presentation!

[dharmaguy001]

This is just very beneficial for whoever who saw this and practice! Really will benefit the practitioner! Best of all, this doesnt not require us to take initiation from the Lama. I m very grateful to this.

[allforbuddha]

I like James! He talked so well and explained it very nicely. I am so blessed to be able to meet Black Manjushri and the practice itself. Its just so interesting.

[SamDon83]

Yeah this is a very excellent instructional video. Thank you James. Wow... this practice require us to do in such early hours... anyway, very grateful to Rinpoche for making this available to all not only to his students in Malaysia. Great compassion of Rinpoche...

[triplegems118]

Wow, James giving a very clear instruction in Black Manjushri practise, glad to watch it here and learn the practise.....thks for posting,.....

[CindyCiak]

Excellent, excellent, excellent... Thank you James, Kechara House and especially Rinpoche for making this practice available to us... it will benefit many people.

[ahantu]

First of all, thanks you for the detail instructions. However, I think you're a bit overboard on the benefits of Black Manjushri practice because I don't believe that Aids or more than 3 stage cancer can be cured that easily. Also, I don't think it can cure sociopath or any more severe mental sickness. Lastly, I thought Manjushri is usually associate with wisdom and awareness. Hence, isn't the practice is suppose to guide you towards th path of awareness, and wisdom?

[NattouP]

ahantu, if i may... my take on this: Dharma is the ultimate medicine to cure ALL SUFFERINGS, agree? So, as u suggest this practice sud guide towards path of awareness n wisdom, thus it cud eradicate the cause of sufferings! As we know suffering is NOT equal to physical pains, so by doing this Black Manjushri practice with pure unselfish motivation, one sud be able to endure pains without disturbing calmness of mind; meaning to cure 'sufferings'... n move up in spiritual journey...

[ahantu]

Your take I see some logics. If you listen to the video, it did meant for curing AIDS and Cancer. It's very misleading to many people in general. Although I do know that it was meant to calm the mind and also to those who are in terminal cases is to prepare for a peaceful death.

[Ninje08]

Dharma is the ultimate medicine to cure all sickness and sufferings as stated in the puja of Medicine Buddha or Healing Buddha. I attended the Medicine Buddha puja in Kechara House on every Wednesday night. So i think Black Manjushri practice could help to cure sickness... well, for sure if the person is too sick either mentally or physically, how could one do all the mantras? Perhaps only those still can chant will have hope?

[ahantu]

1) Show me facts that Medicine Buddha can cure AIDS and Cancer (especially those in terminal cases).

2) Go find a person who are in terminal 4 cancer or has AIDS and ask him/her to do Black Manjushri practice. See if he/her did get hs/her sickness cure.

Then, I will believe your claim.

No.. Chanting won't do anything if you don't understand the real point of doing it. If only think of curing sickness, then it'll become superstitious.

[ilovevajrayogini]

This is a very clear instructional video I found on Black Manjushri practice. I wish Kechara would produce another black manjushri video in english for me to share with my friends. I find this practice very beneficial and not many websites have such clear explanation. Well done kechara!!

[Ninje08]

James! Wow.. he gave very fabulaous and detail instructions on this Black Manjuhsri practice. Another of young and hard working students of H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. I rejoice with this effort to benefits many all over the world.

[dabeisyin]

he is a cute kid. :)
