His Eminence Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche

Always recognize the dreamlike qualities of life and reduce attachment and aversion. Practice good-heartedness toward all beings. Be loving and compassionate, no matter what others do to you. What they will do will not matter so much when you see it as a dream. The trick is to have positive intention during the dream. This is the essential point. This is true spirituality.

THE LORD BUDDHA

This self,existing awareness is itself the path fol, lowed by all the buddhas of the three times. The buddhas of the past followed the p·ath of self,existing wisdom, rangjung yeshe, and attained enlightenment. The buddhas of the present follow the path of self,existing wisdom, and in the future anyone who attains enlight, enment will do so only by recognizing self,existing wis, dom. There is not even an atom of any other path that leads to true enlightenment.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (OHHDL) has recently issued an appeal to the general public, asking them to recite the Medicine Buddha mantra ahead of His Holiness’s upcoming knee treatment in the United States. 

TA YA THA / OM BEKANDZE BEKANDZE / MAHA BEKANDZE RANDZA / SAMUDGATE SOHA. 

Bekandze means eliminating pain, maha bekandze means great eliminating of pain. One explanation of the meaning of the first bekandze is that it refers to eliminating the pain of true suffering, not just of disease but of all problems.
