Dakini's BlessingDakini’s Blessing
An excerpt from a teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo from the Dakini Workshop
The Dakini is considered to be the enlightened or concerned activity of the Buddha nature. In order to understand the enlightened or concerned activity of the Buddha nature one should understand thoroughly the activity of samsara. In order to do that, one should observe one’s own activity. The key word to describe one’s own activity is effortfulness. Everything that we do requires effort. There is nothing that we can simply do spontaneously without effort. Everything requires effort; including starting with the effort it takes to get up in the morning and the effort that it takes to continue throughout the day. Every single item on our agenda requires some effortfulness.
Of course, there are degrees of effortfulness and there are degrees of ease. You can describe some things as being easy. You can describe some things that you do as being very, very difficult but the key word, the mark of samsaric experience, samsaric movement, is that everything one does requires effortfulness. That is the basis of it. And of course, in order to understand that basis of effortfulness, one must understand the foundation or the basis of activity. All activity experienced within samsaric existence is based on the idea of self-nature as being inherently real because the self is doing the activity. It has to be based on that. And in order for self to interact with the environment, self has to distinguish between self and other. That distinction has to be made. That is the activity that is going on in samsaric experience.
In order for that to happen, one must have attraction, repulsion or neutrality. One must interact with, or continue to meet up against and reinforce duality in every sense. Therefore, in samsaric experience concerning activity, there is always an inherent friction. Nothing slides through. There is no effortlessness. There is always a friction. There is always a bumping up against. That bumping up against has to do with the mind of duality and the distinction between subject and object. There is no movement in samsara without that. All movement occurs in that way.
Therefore, in order to understand the nature of the Dakini and enlightened activity or compassionate activity, one must understand the concept of effortlessness. In order to understand the concept of effortlessness, one must understand the basis for the appearance of miraculous enlightened activity in the world, and that, which is consistent with the nature of the Dakini. The basis for enlightened compassionate activity is that this activity is consistent with, inseparable from and indistinguishable from, enlightenment itself – Buddha nature. That must be understood.
How is that distinct from ordinary activity? Ordinary activity has that friction and struggle associated with its basis. This basis is the fundamental idea of self-nature as being particularly solid. Remember that in order to determine self-nature, one has to distinguish between self and others, so immediately there has to be division, there has to be distinction, there has to be cleavage – there has to be a breakage of some kind. That movement is very hard. It is a movement very much involved in a solid process of continuing the continuum. That is the basis for any activity or movement seen in samsara. That is not the case pertaining to the nature of the Dakini, enlightened activity or compassionate activity.
If we can think of the nature of the Buddha we should think of the great sphere of truth, the undifferentiated expanse, the great sphere of emptiness. We should think that there is no basis for the sphere of truth, there is no basis for emptiness, and there is no building block or cause and effect relationship because there is no distinction within the great expanse. In order to understand the great expanse, the mind has to relax utterly. There is no arising of the components of distinction. There is no contrivance. There is no ripple or friction or cleavage or distinction of any kind. The great sphere of truth is simply suchness. The moment one tries to box up suchness or put it in a bottle or put in a certain shape or color it or distinguish it from suchness, it is no longer that. So, the great sphere of truth is as it is – simply suchness.
Yet, all potency arises from the sphere of truth. All that one sees, all richness, all diversity arises from the sphere of truth: that which we perceive as diversity arises from the sphere of truth. How can that be so? Either a thing is empty or it is not? Well, the mistake, the delusion comes after the idea of self-nature as being inherently real. At that point, the mind operates in the posture of distinction. It operates in the posture of duality. And everything that is perceived from that point is engaged in that process. Yet, from the point of view of enlightenment, when one has awakened to that nature and the view is correct, when one no longer engages in the process of distinction, when the mind is restful, spacious and luminous in the natural state, the mind is not operating in distinction. There is no distinction. And so, all that arises from the sphere of truth arises spontaneously and effortlessly and is spontaneously completed and insubstantial, like a rainbow.

Om Namah Shivaya Mantra: Yoga Meditation, Vedanta, Tantra
Om Namah Shivaya is a most potent and popular mantra, which is at the heart of the Vedas and Tantra, and is widely used in this and other variations in the Himalayan tradition, as well as by others. This is a more traditional pronunciation of the mantra, unlike the many modern "singing" versions.
Blessings on Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Birthday November 10, 2011
More than 500 years ago, in the skies of India, there were dark, dark clouds. Righteousness was nowhere to be found. It was into these times that Guru Nanak travelled throughout the land, bringing the message of Universal Truth, Divine Love, and equality of all mankind.

Har Har Wonderful Guru
Explanation Pauri 33: In our day to day life, we are governed by our Ego and ever changing moods. This is so as we are bound by Time, Space and Causation. Yet, we in our ignorance feel that we have "power" to do this or do that and become boastful of our "power". This ignorance leads us to feel ourselves superior to others.
In this Pauri, Guru Nanak categorically explains that nothing is in our power, its all in God’s hand. And no one in himself is superior or inferior.
Satgur Naanak pargatiaa, mitee dhundh jag chaanan hoaa
When true Guru Nanak became manifest, the mist cleared,
and a light came over the world's darkness.

Kapalbhati Pranayama - Yoga For Weight Loss
AFTER BHASTRIKA PRANAYAM KAPALBHATI BREATHING( BREATH OF FIRE) IS GREAT....
RESPECT YOUR FLOWS, START WIITH 10 TURNS... ENJOY.
Medical and Scientific Basis of Pranayama by Acharya Balkrishna Published on 10-19-2011
Yoga is a devotion, which makes the mind calm and gives knowledge. Pranayam results in good health. Good health is achieved with changes in daily routine and habits instead of medicines or blessings of somebody. Life is the balance of breaths and basis of vital life energy. Pranayam maintains this balance and energizes vital life energy, which gives long life and healthy body.
Happiness and unhappiness originate from the body, which are believed to be god’s wish. God resides within us, a person who makes his body a temple and the god living inside becomes happy experiences happiness. On the other hand, a person who pollutes his body with different things annoys god living inside, becomes unhappy. Prana or vital life energy is also a form of god, whose basis is respiration. Pranayam maintains the balance of these breaths, which strengthens both mind and body. This is the Yoga devotion, which Swami Ramdev propagates.
He is showing the magic to the whole world with Yoga devotion.
Practice of seven pranayam and their effect on curing diseases was not easily acceptable by everybody. But, the residential camps organized at Patanjali Yogpeeth Ayurveda medical and research institute at Hardwar showed excellent results and when medical science itself proved through its reports that seven-step pranayam overcomes incurable diseases, it created a new kind of enthusiasm towards Yoga in the whole world.
Revered Swami Ramdev Ji experimented this on human body from 1995 onwards but he decided to make the results public in 2002 after getting positive results of his scientific research. He started organizing Yoga camps from 2003 onwards and residential camps from 2004, which proved that changes in daily routine and food along with Yoga devotion has lot of importance. A practitioner practices pranayam with complete dedication in residential camp. A residential camp is organized between 5 and 8 a.m. and the participants wake up at 4 a.m. Prana vayu or vital life energy circulates during this time and the amount of oxygen is highest before sunrise. Oxygen is the vital life energy, which enters inside the body through breath and increases resistance power of the body. The remaining processes of curing disease depends on the nature of pranayam, which are done in a systematic way. This sequence of pranayam is Swami Ramdev’s research. Synchronized and rhythmic breathing maintains the equilibrium of hormones. Disequilibrium of hormones causes different diseases, which is balanced with pranayam. It cures various incurable diseases along with hereditary problems.
Human body is made up with five elements, which are obtained automatically from nature, but when the man starts acting contrary to the nature then the five elements get imbalanced. It affects the nervous system of the body and generates disorders or diseases. Medical science has presented these disorders in a very dangerous manner and we consider that the hormonal imbalance is incurable. Swami Ramdev Ji’s seven-step pranayam has proved that now almost all the diseases are curable. The disease, which occurs due to internal imbalance, is overcome with maintaining the balance. This physical balance is known as Yoga devotion, which cures several dangerous diseases.
Yoga camp begins after prayers. Bhastrika pranayam involves deep breathing in and out, it strengthens the heart, makes the body active, and improves the functioning of respiratory system. Kapalbhati is very effective; this involves exhaling with full force. Breathing out with full force throws out disorders and increases oxygen in blood; it strengthens the life energy of the whole body. Contracting the stomach to exhale reduces weight and fat. It overcomes constipation and painful problem like piles. Breathing out forcefully opens heart blockage, and also avoids the need for bypass surgery. Polluted air goes out and pure oxygen enters the body, which purifies blood, cures skin ailments, eczema, and allergy. It increases internal energy and wipes out allergy. It removes stomach disorders and gives natural glow on face.
Anulom-Vilom pranayam balances the respiratory system and changes the entire biochemistry. Breathing in from left nostril and breathing out from right nostril generates rhythm and cures eyes, ears and nose problems. It controls high blood pressure and the person does not have the necessity to use spectacles. This pranayam cures white, black cataract, enlarged bone inside ear and improves cerebral diseases. It maintains the balance of oxygen in lungs and increases the pure oxygen, which removes eczema, ringworm, itching and white and black spots. It gives natural glow. Bhastrika, Kapalbhati and Anulom-Vilom pranayam are like sure shots for diabetes, cancer, asthma and other serious diseases. Medical research and experiments conducted on Yoga and experiences gained through weekly Yoga camps proved that diseases are caused due to irregular life style; wrong eating habits and physical processes can itself cure those diseases. Man is responsible for happiness, unhappiness, diseases and good health. If he falls ill and becomes unhappy due to ignorance then he can get well with practice of Yog and pranayam. Swami Ramdev believes that a person who reduces one hour of his sleep remains healthy and disease free with longevity. This is the result of Yoga camps that changes disappointment into enthusiasm.
The mission of Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj for the welfare of sick, suffering, diseased people is indeed commendable. Swami Ji gives various tips for the practice of Yoga and pranayam in the camps, which is more effective when compared to the results obtained from Yoga done at home without proper guidance. In Yoga camps, thousands of people breathe in oxygen at the same time, therefore it reduces the density of oxygen from the atmosphere in that particular area. This process continues for long time. The oxygen increases digestive power, activates thousands of inactive cells in lungs and purifies blood. The additional oxygen burns out excess fat and makes the body energetic. The body weight reduces and becomes light just like a person who feels light after putting down 20 kilos weight from his body. The amount of oxygen is limited inside homes and density of apana increases due to the presence of family members. This is the reason that practice of pranayam inside the house has lesser effects. Therefore,practice it n open area or balcony for getting complete benefit.
Exercise and pranayam generate carbon dioxide, and rest is necessary to remove the foreign particles from the body as it causes tiredness. Stop when you are tired, or breath normally.
Tiredness is caused due to carbon dioxide and therefore a person has to take rest and proper sleep. If any such process were developed, which could replace carbon dioxide with oxygen then nobody would ever get tired and the body would always remain active. The human being along with other creatures would get rid of serious diseases. The muscles never become old, they come back to normal position on getting pure blood just like a frog lying inactively without consciousness or activeness in cold atmosphere but becomes active on getting warm climate. In other words, a person can feel young with pure blood supply.
Brahmari and Udgeeth pranayam create divine vibrations in Yoga camps. This vibration is created due to\ mass practice; this reaches the optimum level and enters the practitioner’s ears. This has immense strength,which creates vibration in blood veins and nerves, which removes heart blockage, lung disorders and activates the digestive system.
These vibrations have same effect as the following:
Just like the sound of huge bell hanging from the ceiling of a large dome in a temple, which vibrates the hearts and minds of devotees and removes toxicity from blood.
Just like the butter that separates from buttermilk on churning it.
Just like the old practice where in four or five men used to beat a bronze plate and create loud noise near a person who has been bitten by a snake. This creates special vibration in the patient’s blood and the poison is removed.
In Yoga camps devotees practice pranayam in a group with devotion, dedication, faith and fight to overcome diseases. Pranayam done at home does not give expected results; it could be explained like the situation of a child who does not feel like eating when he is alone but eats well in company.
Yoga is practiced in camps by inculcating the feeling of faith, positive attitude with concentration, dedication and punctuality. Oh lord! I have faced lot of pain and now I am in your shelter. Oh almighty, omnipotent god please bless me and relieve my problems. I have come into your shelter. Pranayam done in this manner arouses consciousness and nationality. Pranayam is done with free mind without any inhibitions and doubts. It gives lot of benefit to the devotee. Yoga is a complete medical science. Yoga overcomes stiffness of mind and body.

Translation teachings, vajra-holder with all the three vows, who insatiably received the nectar of the Buddhist teachings, both sūtra and tantra, from many venerable non-sectarian masters, filling the excellent vessel of his mind to the brim, and who in particular was the inheritor of Vajradhara Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Gyurme Tenpai Gyaltsen—has recently displayed the dissolving of his intention in the expanse of reality, several great disciples of the lord, born from his speech and of all traditions, have felt the need for and requested a prayer that he be reborn swiftly as another emanation; at their request, and having myself received from that venerable master so many profound empowerments, explanations and transmissions, remembering the way he gave them with his smiling face, his fascinating words, and his caring, affectionate mind, as his respectful disciple, I, the Buddhist monk Tenzin Gyatso, on the auspicious date of the third day of the eighth month of the iron hare year of the seventeenth Rabjung cycle, 30 September 2011, wrote this prayer imploring him to return swiftly as another emanation. Virtue!

The Six Yogas of Naropa, Master of Buddhist Tantra
by Timothy Weiss, through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This project investigates the six principal tantric practices as presented by the great Naropa, student of Mahasiddha Tilopa. Naropa skirts the bounds between monastic discipline and complete freedom, but remaining still a scholar, completes these treatises for our benefit. Fascinating work by Weiss.

Belo Monte: Valter Cardeal Mente Sobre Oitivas Indígenas, a Sheyla Jurun...
In June of this year in Foz do Iguaçú, Brazil, at the International Hydropower Association's bi-yearly Congress, Eletrobras Director Valter Cardeal declared: "All of the indigenous people, even the Kayapó who live upstream from the area of impacts, are in favor of Belo Monte." Cardeal made the declaration with a straight face, speaking to the audience of dam industry CEOs, financial officers, and government representatives who were probably ecstatic to hear such a development. Too bad it wasn't true. Sitting in the front row were indigenous leaders Sheyla Yakarepi Juruna and Patxon Metuktire. In fact, they said, indigenous people were not properly consulted. And that's against the law.
Cardeal supported his claim by using a powerpoint presentation that juxtaposed photos of indigenous leaders Raoní, Tuíra, and Megaron – well known opponents of Belo Monte – with other leaders from the area of impacts on the "Big Bend" in the Lower Xingu Basin, next to a list of meetings held with indigenous people. The data was culled from a report called the "Indigenous Component," in which indigenous leaders' attitudes towards Belo Monte were studied and categorized. The report was added to the Belo Monte EIA in 2009 after the studies were completed, and the government has controversially used the report since then to argue that tribes were properly consulted.
When it comes to ascertaining whether or not tribes were properly consulted, live testimony works so much better than powerpoint data. Listening to Cardeal speak was Sheyla Yakarepi Juruna, an indigenous leader of the Juruna tribe of Km-17, a tribe that will be affected. Sheyla figures prominently in the 2009 report, as the agency visited and interviewed her a number of times in the territory of the Juruna of Km-17.
In Iguaçú, Sheyla decried Cardeal's lie:
"It's easy for you to claim that we're in favor, isn't it. The fact is that there were no indigenous consultations. There were no indigenous consultations. There were small meetings to inform us of the situation at the time. But how will our lives change after the dam is built? This whole time we've demanded to be heard by the National Congress. And we're still waiting for that to happen. The government used us, took advantage of our good faith, and together with FUNAI they went into our communities only to study us. And based on that they said we were consulted. That's a huge lie."
Valter Cardeal, Diretor da Eletrobras, mente e declara que "todos os lideranças indígenas são a favor do Belo Monte", em Congresso Internacional das Barragens organizada pela IHA (International Hydropower Association). Sheyla Juruna, liderança dos Juruna do Km-17, estava lá para desmentir sua declaração. Confira sua resposta.

George Harrison tribute - All Things Must Pass
LET'S SING ALONG,THOSE WHO SING SCARE THEIR WOES AWAY!!!!
ALL THINGS MUST PASS By George Harrison \0/
Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up
And has left you with no warning
But it's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this my love is up
And must be leaving
It has not always been this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays at nighttime
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Aung San Suu Kyi's idea of freedom offers a radical message for the west The Burmese heroine's Reith lectures expose our patronising attitudes to Buddhism, and injects fresh meaning into a concept we have abused
Madeleine Bunting
guardian.co.uk, Sunday 26 June 2011 21.00 BST
Article history
On the wall by my desk, there's a spread of photos of Aung San Suu Kyi which appeared in the Guardian a year ago. It's a kind of family photo album with snaps of engagement, babies, university, chilly British family picnics and travels. It's a strikingly poignant illustration of everything Aung San Suu Kyi has sacrificed over 15 years of imprisonment in her struggle for Burmese democracy. Every time it catches my eye, it is both humbling and gives me hope: a reminder of what the human spirit is capable of.
Illustration by Andrzej Krauze
Much has been made of her remarkable biography – catapulted by circumstance from family life in Oxford into the violent repressive politics of Burma in 1988; missing the illness and death of her husband and the raising of her children to pursue the cause. What makes her Reith lectures so fascinating is they represent a statement of the ideals and mindset which have steeled her resolve and inspired her courage. The first lecture addresses the universal human desire for freedom, the second considers her fight in Burma to achieve it. She is taking her stand on an ideal to which the west has a tendency to claim copyright in the Enlightenment. What's more, freedom is an ideal which has been bastardised in recent years by the rhetoric of two disastrous American wars. Deftly, she lays out an understanding of freedom which owes more to Buddhism than western philosophy and, in so doing, injects a radical new meaning into an abused ideal. She is simultaneously quietly challenging western hubris and offering her global audience a new interpretation.
She does this not by expounding on obscure Buddhist philosophy – there is only one explicit mention of Buddhism – but by translating her spiritual tradition into a wide range of western thinkers, poets and writers: Vaclav Havel, the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, Ratushinskaya, Henley, Kipling and Isaiah Berlin. What is far more important to her than a sales pitch for a much misunderstood religion/philosophy is that her global audience connect to what she is saying and she helps by giving plenty of familiar reference points, slipping the unfamiliar in alongside. She weaves in Christian metaphors and concepts with the Buddhism, Russian poetry and the eastern European dissident tradition. It is a unique synthesis of east and west, only possible in someone deeply versed in both.
Many of her western admirers will immediately grasp the language of human rights. It is the Buddhism which may be less comprehensible; for instance she recounts an anecdote in which people ask how it felt to be free after each period of house arrest, to which she replied "my mind had always been free". Or, in another passage, she says "Buddhism teaches that the ultimate liberation is liberation from all desire". Perhaps these are the points where western minds shift uncomfortably at the proximity of spiritual faith to politics. But the most crucial fact about Aung San Suu Kyi's politics is how it is rooted in her Buddhism.
For her, freedom is not only a set of institutions, laws and political processes, it is also a quest of the individual spirit, the struggle to free oneself from greed, fear and hatred and how they drive one's own behaviour. That is why she always talks of a "revolution of the spirit". You cannot have one without the other, both are part of transformational change; the individual and personal is inextricably bound up with the political, as she made clear in her interviews with the American Buddhist, Alan Clements, in Voice of Hope. Clements shared a Buddhist teacher with her and he told me that the meditational practices she is known to pursue are vital to cultivate the courage and insight for her political battles. When asked by Clements what her greatest struggle was, she replied: "It's always a matter of developing more and more awareness, not only day to day but moment to moment. It's a battle which will go on the whole of my life." Her greatest aim, she told him, was "purity of mind".
It is the awareness which enables her to perceive the fear that lies behind the violence of the Burmese junta and to insist on offering them dialogue. The practice of metta – "loving kindness" – is not passive, she says, and points to the Buddha himself, who went to stand between two warring parties to protect them both at the risk of his own safety.
This is a radical message for western politics steeped in a technocratic managerialism and obsession with presentation: that the personal spiritual struggle cannot be stripped out of politics. But perhaps what gets overlooked is how revolutionary her message also is to her own Buddhist tradition. Not only is she a woman, she is a lay woman in a faith tradition dominated by male monasticism. Across Asia, those monastic institutions have frequently become complicit in state structures – in Burma, spiritual preoccupations have often been an excuse for disengagement. In her Reith lecture she picks her words carefully. "There is certainly a danger that the acceptance of spiritual freedom as a satisfactory substitute for all other freedoms could lead to passivity and resignation.
But an inner sense of freedom can reinforce a practical drive for the more fundamental freedoms in the form of human rights and the rule of law." She points to the monks who led the 2007 saffron revolution as acting out of "loving kindness" for the people suffering from sharp rises in food prices. She is putting herself at the forefront of the reforming movements in Buddhism in Asia, gently insisting on the interrelationship between practical action and private spiritual discipline.
Lastly, Aung San Suu Kyi's Buddhism is challenging one of the most persistent orientalist myths. Just as Islam was characterised as violent by Christian imperialists, Buddhism was scorned for its quietism, and self-absorbed fatalism: both were treated with comparable contempt under colonialism. Theistic Christians found Buddhism incomprehensible. That legacy persists; the current pope has described Buddhism as "self-indulgent eroticism". Bizarrely, Buddha statuary end up as a staple of garden centres, the Buddha as the consumer's symbol of calm and detachment. In a television interview the Beckhams once appeared in their sitting room alongside a near-lifesize gilt Buddha. The popular perception is of Buddhism as a form of calming therapy, much like a massage oil.
That is to emasculate the force of a powerful philosophy with radical political implications. Aung San Suu Kyi knows all too well how Buddhism has played a major political role throughout Asia, both for good and bad. Its adherents are growing fast in both India and China, as well as in the west. Like the Dalai Lama and the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh, she is playing a vital role in communicating through her words and her life a Buddhism that speaks to the deepest human needs.

Bu ddhaṃ śa ra ṇaṃ ga cchā mi
Dha rmaṃ śa ra ṇaṃ ga cchā mi
Saṃ ghaṃ śa ra ṇaṃ ga cchā mi
Buddhaṃ śaraṇaṃ gacchāmi
Dharmaṃ śaraṇaṃ gacchāmi
Saṃghaṃ śaraṇaṃ gacchāmi
Translation
To the Buddha for refuge I go
To the Dharma for refuge I go
To the Sangha for refuge I go
Notes on The Three Refuges
Sometimes you will see the phrases translated as "I take refuge.." but the verb in this sentence is gacchāmi which is the first person singlular of the verb "to go". So it is very definitely I go rather than I take.
The only difference in the Pāli is that śaraṇaṃ becomes saraṇaṃ - the śa changing to sa.

Things that inspire me to practice
It isn't simply seeing our teachers, or even hearing them, that creates a spiritual bond. It's when we take the teachings we've received and bring them into our own experience that an unshakeable connection is formed. The more we practice, the stronger the bond with our teacher becomes. in Letter from Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche upon Entering Retreat
