Cintamanicakra and High King Avalokitesvara

2013.06.16
Acalanatha teaching (3:35-22:10). This Vidyaraja's origin is from Vaiorcana Buddha and is head of both Dharmadhatu and Vajradhatu. In Japanese Tantra, Acala has said, "Anyone who sees Acala's body will generate bodhicitta. Anyone who has heard Acala's name would cut off evil and start to do good. Anyone who has listened Acala's teachings would gain great wisdom. Anyone who has practiced the heart of Acala would attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. His right hand holds a sword encircled by a dragon. His left hand holds a Vajra lasso with two seals representing the Dhramadata and Vajradatu. This is the greatest Dharma in Japanese Tantra. Acala can transform into a Vajra fire to burn the practitioner's contaminants and karma. The Vajra lasso can tie enemies so they don't move. The sword can cut off greed, anger, and delusions. He is very ferocious. The gentle mantra (8:37) is for auspicious practices. The fierce mantra (9:29) is for wrathful practices. Mudra (12:20). Acala practice can be used to subdue yourself to avoid extreme bliss or grief to achieve the unmovable mind. This mind is unmoved by the eight winds (prosperity, decline, disgrace, honor, praise, censure, suffering, and pleasure) and maintains bodhicitta. The nine syllable mantra and mudra of Acala (17:00), "ling bin dow zu ze zun rlei zai chian" 4 vertical, 5 horizontal can create a protected space.

Mahottara Heruka water offering ceremony. The practice procedure should be simple and contain the quiescence of all key points. Fundamental meaning of Mahottara Heruka is himself. He is the vajra body of Primordial Buddha (Adibuddha). Precepts must be followed and this kind of Dharma must not be taken lightly. Mahottara can eradicate karmic illnesses. At death, one has 5 chances to the Pure Land: primordial light, yidam, peaceful deities, wrathful deities, or subjugation/magnetization deities. Merging with the light or yidam is most important at death. Transcending birth and death is most important. Compared to this and one's health, other things are not really valuable. 50 stanzas of guru devotion, 15 roots of downfalls, 5 basic precepts..

Acala is the first, foremost, and greatest of the wisdom kings. The retinue of Acala is uncountable. Guru explains how he uses the 4 verticals and 5 horizontals mudra and how he transforms a net of light to protect oneself during sleep. Teachings on Lamdre (29:55). Guru explains the relation between a mandala and empowerment. For example, Acala mandala can be represented by the Sanskrit syllable hāṃ (32:40). Guru explains how we should prepare for receiving empowerment (35:55). To prepare for empowerment is normally lengthy and troublesome to purify the body, speech, and mind. True empowerment is not a simple matter because it involves planting the seed of the deity in one's heart. Guru doesn't not care about whether True Buddha School exist or not because maintaining pure body speech and mind is most important.

Earth Mother name mantra (5:18) and heart mantra (5:58). Right hand celestial duster, left hand trigram, and she oversees all continents and oceans. Everything we have came from Earth.

When chi is going the wrong way, channels are blocked, and light drops escape, these signify downfall of wisdom.

Guru talks about examples of disciples who won great amounts of money. Red Manohara is the wealth deity of the Buddha lands. She can eradicate karma, enhance wisdom, and resources. Union with this deity is the same as union with Padmakumara and Amitabha. If you gain response with this deity, then you can gain response with many deities because of her Vajra hook. Teaching on Lamdre (29:55). If your mind is free, then this would be true liberation. If the mind has attachments, this becomes bondage. Spiritual cultivation is to train your mind to be free from attachments.

Dharma for Green Tara (35:20). Visualize the lotus stalk held in her left hand and 'dang' seed syllable in the closed, half-open, and fully-open lotus blossoms on the stalk.

Intro to Green Tara for next week. Homa for Shakyamuni Buddha (3:32). Lamdre (50:32). Nine postures of quiet contemplation. Initially, place your mind on the fervent chi exiting, entering, and abiding (holding). This is similar to nine cycle Buddha breathing. Train breathing through left nostril because the left channel is less problematic. If your chi doesn't flow smooth it is impossible to enter meditation. If your chi is turbulent, then your mind and heart is also chaotic. (53:20) Block right nostril to breath in and out through the left several times. Stop hold breath. Then block left nostril to breath in and out through the right. Then block both to hold. Then open both, in through both, out through both until breath stabilizes.

This is a special webcast because Grandmaster Lu gives so many important teachings in one session. Do not worship ghosts. Worshiping a proper deity like Yellow Jambhala is important to connect with higher realms. Even better is the attainment of Bodhi. GM asks all masters to sit on the snow without clothes to prove their attainment of the inner fire. Light drops (i.e. saliva) from the brow point are the best. The key points on meditation are given and ways to avoid deviant thoughts. Meditation while letting your thoughts be. But if thoughts stray, return to the point. Thoughts are like rain that doesn't stop. In meditation, you're not affected by those thoughts..

In the debut dharma transmission of the Rainbow Light Transformation, Grandmaster Lu explained where the light comes from and how one can transform into rainbow light—the highest attainment in Dzogchen and Mahamudra.
Lights are within our bodies, and they can be uncovered through the breathing practice of the subtle vital energy, channels, lightdrops, and the innerfire. The Treasure Vase Energy is the foundation of all attainments, as stated by Guru Padmasambhava. Once all seven cakras are opened, then one radiates rainbow light.
However, the crucial pith-instruction is in the state of No-thought, where one is completely devoid of any thoughts in one’s meditation. No-thought can only be achieved through the great mastery of meditation, together with wisdom, and they are a pair of wings that bring us to buddhahood.
Grandmaster also stated that all sentient beings—each person and each living being—will eventually attain buddhahood, that we are all the primordial buddha! The reason why Sakyamuni Buddha wanted to leave the world upon attaining buddhahood was because he knew that sentient beings would attain buddhahood eventually, on their own accord.
Editor’s note:
Nevertheless, a lineage guru is pivotal in imparting wisdom and methods. Without purification, any human being is enshrouded with layers of obscurations. Hence, let us all honor the guru, treasure the dharma, and practice diligently!
