I rejoice...

I offer the Arya all good deeds that have ever been performed by living beings especially the beings churning in the lower realms who find it rare to be able to find the opportunity to practice virtuous acts. Please Bless my mind Arya Bhaisagyaguru so that i in turn may Bless and heal all others. This i pray. So shall it be...

To enter the path of Tantra, one have to enter the path of accumulation first. The path of accumulation is where we amass tremendous amount of merits in order to propel us through the stages of Tantra and gain real attainments as what Tantra was originally meant. Making offerings of lhari and such are excellent means to do so...

What a fantastic explanation for making offerings to Arya beings or Buddhas. Lovely! Especially what a powerful explanation!

[bhusukumode]

What makes them an Arya?

What makes them have freedom from Samsara?

Realizing Emptiness - Wisdom

Bodhichitta - Compassion

So we are really making offerings to these qualities so we too can achieve the same qualities. Beautiful

[loafer108]

If one brings to mind the qualities of a buddha

Or hears of a buddha's spiritual transformations,

One becomes purified through one's admiration and joyfulness.

This is what is meant by the great joy.

(Arya Nagarjuna's Treatise on The Provisions for Enlightenment. verse 10.)

[sotonguy123]

This is just so enlightening! I didnt know about the benefit of offerings to arya beings until I have watched it! How did I missed this one! Nevermind!

[frozbyte23]

Fantastic explanation! This makes me what to make many, many, many, many, many parasols to my little Buddha statue. I wanna achieve Arya level!!! I never knew it could be of such profound meaning. I want to be protected by all Samsara's fears!!! I am buying my lhari / parasol from Kechara Paradise in SS2.

[levelhead85]

By offering a parasol to an enlightened being or arya being we are creating the causes to come under their protection and to achieve the arya beings enlightened level .

SamDon83: I agree with you.....I love to watch all the Rinpoche teachings here, is very fun, simple and easy to uderstand and also modern way of teaching.......I should put my name to Kechara House and join in as a member, so i can receive more teachings from Rinpoche and help out the people in the center .....

[healingsbuddha]

Rinpoche always used his skillful way to teach Dharma, thats why attract alot of young people to come and listen and practise Dharma.....This is very good, as Rinpoche want to benefits other by giving them the Dharma blessing......
