BUDDHISM, PEACE ❤☀ECOLOGY-International day of planet Earth

BUDDHISM, PEACE ❤☀ ECOLOGY
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=223258577693123
Each April 22 people of this Earth commemorate the Day of the planet Earth. In this Visual Dharma we teach about Buddhism , peace and ecology in connection with Sang rite and zazen meditation.
In precious Ati yoga / Dzogchen there are exact explanations about connections between inner and outer elements : space, wind, water, fire and earth. We try to purify inner elements with purification breathings, reciting mantras of five elements and with visualisation. For completely relised beings like Buddha Shakyamuni , Buddha Pada Sambhava and many other Buddhas these five elements form Thigle or rainbow sphere --the symbol of intrinsic awareness or Rigpa. In Sang rite we also purify outer elements by offering scented smoke of cypresses to the four types of guests, including local guardians. Sang rite can be done at special days of lunar calendar -- 8th(dedicated to Medicine Buddha and Arya Tara),10th(dedicated to Guru Padma Sambhava),15th(dedicated to Amitayus),25th(Dakini day) , 29th (Dharmapala day) 30th (Shakyamuni Buddha day). In Buddhist lunar calendar last days of each month are benefitial for purification practices like Vajrasattva sadhana, Purification of six lokas, Shitro- Yoga of peaceful and wrathful manifestations etc.. Everything is interconnected according to the teaching of dependent arising (skt. praticca samutpada). In these years of globalisation, satelites circling around the planet and providing precise photos of climate change we can truly understand how interconnected all phenomena are. Deforestation in one part of the world (Tibet, South America etc.) , air and water polution , warming up of sea and more evaporation of water create stronger winds, until now more or less unexperienced in Europe. Buddhists can understand that all outer elements are interconnected. Also scientists should try to understand climate crysis from the point of view of interconnectedness of five elements. In this regard the Inconvenient truth documentary is highly recommended to everyone to study and contemplate. Former vice president of US, Mr. Al Gore truly deserves respect for his continuous effort and diligence in researching and documenting climate crisis in his many multi media lectures around the world. Only great spirit is capable of such continuous diligence. We congratulate him and other scientists who were rewarded with Nobel peace prize in December 2007. Collective prayers & meditations: In order to purify this planet Earth Buddhists at Open Buddhist Forum International pray and meditate
each Sunday (3-4 p.m. Winter time or 4-5 p.m. Summer time). Recitation of Wish-granting prayer of Samantabhadra Buddha is esp. beneficial as well as Verses of Prayer to the Eight Noble Auspicious Ones.
Visual Dharmas are contemporary way of teaching Buddhism in third millenium. All Visual Dharmas are empowered with the Sound of Dharmata, therefore they must be treated with respect. To EMBED and to SPONSOR preparation of Visual Dharmas means to perform 1st Dharmic Activity as taught by the Buddhas. It helps to purify this planet and to create more and more peace. Ecology and peace are key words for all awakened beings of this planet. They are deeply connected with unselfishness, egolessness and shunyata. As Buddha Shakyamuni taught : Nirvana is peace. First step on the spiritual path of all who seek peace is to BECOME A VEGETARIAN and to save lives of sentient beings. It is very correct that the XIV. Dalai Lama and XVII. Gyalwa Karmapa are now also teaching that their followers must be vegetarian. They should also not drink even a drop of alcohol and should not sell the Dharma. Buddha Padmasambhava is teaching in his Jewel spoke testament which was discovered as a hidden treasure / terma, that the Dharma is not a merchandise. It is the duty of all authentic Buddhist masters to show correct Path of Enlightenment. To follow on the Footsteps of the Buddhas... This Visual Dharma was originaly prepared for TV Slovenia / Duhovni utrip-Spiritual interlude (May 2007). With English subtitles it is presented to international audience. May it benefit everyone.

SANG OFFERING is esp. beneficial to practice on the LOCAL DEITIES DAY (Tib. Dzam Ling Chi Sang) July 7,2009, with the aim to diminish climate changes caused by contaminations of atmosphere and incorrect actions (damaging of earth,waterways etc).

This Visual Dharma was prepared for TV Slovenia EU (Spiritual interlude) and there was only 3,5 min. time to present such important topics as connection of Peace and ecology with Buddhism. Therefore everything said is very essential and condensed. Here we also teach with symbolic means through Healing Art.
