VAJRASATTVA MEDITATION & 100-SYLLABLE MANTRA
recited by ven. AYANG RINPOCHE is published to benefit all sentient beings.To EMBED & SPONSOR VISUAL DHARMAS means to perform 1.Enlightened Activity as taught by the Buddhas (see:The Gift of Truth).All Visual Dharmas are empowered with the Sound of Dharmata & must be treated with respect.Wherever this mantra is played it brings purification&peace. LIFE HISTORY: Ayang Rinpoche conducted Shitro empowerment in Slovenia EU (1996). He was invited by Buddha Dharma & taught the mantra.PURIFICATION is essential practice on all stages of Buddhist path.In THERAVADA the compendium of knowledge by Bhantacariya Buddhaghosa(5. century) bears the title Visuddhi magga/The Path of purification.In Mahayana & Vajrayana there are common & uncommon preliminary practices (tib. Ngondro: Refuge & Bodhicitta,the Offering of mandala,reciting of Vajrasattva mantra & Guru yoga). 100-syllable mantra of Vajrasattva is the essence of 100 deities of Sambhogakaya.According to Bardo Thödol teachings :Vajrasattva appears on 2.day : „One should call the dead persons name and say these words: O son/daughter of noble family,listen without distraction.On 2. day a white light,the purified element of water will shine and at the same time Blessed Vajrasattva-Akshobhya will appear before you from blue Eastern Realm of Complete Joy..." In Inspiration Prayer for deliverance from the dangerous pathway of the bardo we read: „When through intense aggression I wander in samsara,on luminous light path of the mirrorlike wisdom,may Blessed Vajrasattva go before me,his consort Buddha Locana behind me;help me to cross the bardo´s dangerous pathway and bring me to the perfect buddha state. „ 100-syllable mantra should be treasured as wish-fullfilling jewel.This teaching is not complete meditation instruction.For detailed instructions see selected bibliography. Vajrasattva is very important in ATIYOGA/DZOGCHEN lineage.He is the holder of symbolic transmission of Vidyadharas (tib.Rigpa Dzinpa). SAMANTABHADRA-VAJRASATTVA-GARAB DORJE,1. human master of Atiyoga was emanation of Vajrasattva.There are Dzogchen tantras connected with Vajrasattva (Great space of Vajrasattva). Vajrasattva sadhanas have creation&completion stage (tib.Kyerim, Dzogrim).Ven.Mipham Rinpoche describes completion stage of Vajrasattva in 1.MO:
„AA Stainless sky: Just as the sky is free from stains so your mind should be completely purified & placed in equanimity.The Sound of 3-fold emptiness.Rely upon Vajrasattva as your special deity,recited his mantra.This is Giving of fearlessness."
BUDDHIST WHOLESOME MEDICINE & PURIFICATION: Unbalance of outside elements because of climate change (called 5 evil influences in TCM) influences karmic body of individual.WHO reports increase of mental disorders because of climate change in UK. Our research: strong winds can create mental unrest,nervousness & wandering thoughts,lack of concentration.
Vajrasattva mantra is antidote & is purifying karmic body,energy&mind of unwholesome (akusala)karma. It purifies twofold ignorance & the clarity of awareness dawns as wisdom.The aim of samadhi meditation is complete realisation of stainless shunyata/emptiness and to receive unseparable Vajra teachings.Descend with the view and ascend with the conduct as taught by Buddha Padmasambhava.
