Mahāvairocana Buddha Talon Abraxas

Maha Vairocana Buddha of the 1000 Universes and Lotus Petals, Buddha of the Multiverse, Buddha of Light —

Buddha born 1000 times in a 1000 reality Multiverse

Shakyamuni Buddha was born to save the Earth — while countless other Buddhas arose in other worlds and universes. All of these 1000-plus emanations are none other than body-emanation aspects of Vairochana Buddha.

In the Dhayani Buddha mandala, Maha Vairochana is usually the centre deity, in keeping with his status as the Dharmakaya of all Buddhas. He is surrounded by Amitabha, Akshobya, Ratnasambahava and Amoghisiddhi in the four directions, who represent the other four aspects and wisdoms.

To demonstrate his Dharmachakra aspect, it is Vairochana who appears over the head of Chakrasamvara and Vajrayogini — the highest of the high in Tantric practices.

The Mantra of Light

One of the best-known mantras from this Sutra is the “Mantra of Light”, which is also known as the “Vairochana Abhisheka Mantra”. This mantra is said to be the most powerful mantra in existence, and it is said that just by chanting it, we can connect with the Buddha of Light and begin to see things as they really are.

This mantra can be chanted aloud or silently, and it can be chanted as many times as you like. It is a good idea to start with 108 repetitions, but you can do more or less as you feel comfortable.

You can also chant this mantra while visualizing Vairochana Buddha in front of you. Visualize him as a being of pure light, and imagine that his light is entering into your body and mind and purifying them.

Tha Maha Vairocana “Mantra of Light”

The great Maha Mantra of Light is:

Oṃ amogha Vairochana mahāmudra maṇipadma jvāla pravarttaya hūṃ

The translation of this mantra, according to the Dharmachakra is:

“Oṁ, amogha jewel-lotus of the splendorous great mudrā! Blaze! Set in motion! Hūṁ!”

Praise be to the flawless, all-pervasive illumination of the great mudra (the seal of the Buddha). Turn over to me the jewel, lotus, and radiant light

Maa doing Abhisheka to Shivalinga

[lanymme]

Hey. This is my possibly favorite Noble Phantasm line in FGO.

But you can’t appreciate it if you don’t get the Buddhist reference, so come over here and let’s learn some Buddhism with the sexy nun:

What, you might ask, is an abhisecana (or abhisheka) rite?

As I understand it, it’s an initiation rite for a practitioner who is advancing in their study of the Dharma. In some Buddhist schools, including Shingon—the school from which Tachikawa-ryu, Kiara’s school, branches off (which we don’t know much about, because it’s long-dead IRL and was subject to political book burnings, but that’s another story—this rite involves a student being assigned to a bodhisattva, whose teachings and/or qualities they will study to guide their development and give them direction.

Rather than let a student choose a bodhisattva based on their preconceptions at the time of the ritual, they are blindfolded and cast a flower onto a mandala—like the womb realm mandala, shown below—and whoever it lands on, that’s who they go with.

But Kiara is, as always, encouraging living beings to give up their heavenly aspirations—to cast their flower instead on the mandala of the realm of desire. Let it fall where it may—chase whatever vice or illusion your whims take you to.

But make no mistake.

However it falls, there’s only one bodhisattva that will watch over you as you dance in the palm of her hand.

Jay Bailey’s speech about “The Importance of Embracing Diversity in Entrepreneurship”

Jay Bailey starts the speech with giving curious to the audience. He try to grab the audience by walking through the stage ,using hand gesture and  facial expressions. We can ensure the engagement of the speech by audiences’ reactions such as applause and their laugh. But the thing to criticize is he didn’t use any visual aids. Sometimes he used to change his voice high and low according to the situation. Everyone stood up and show their respect at the end of the speech.

The Dawn of Tantra

The year before Trungpa Rinpoche made Osel Tendzin his regent. and many years before he crowned his son as the Sakyong, Trungpa gave a seminar in Berkeley, California. The year was 1972, and he joined Herbert Guenther at the podium to introduce this new thing called Tantra. One of the difficult topics on that agenda was the guru-disciple relationship. Here is some of what they said that day:

"Having first gone through the shamatha and vipashyana practices, and the four foundations of Mahayana, the student might be ready to have a glimpse of the guru... to make a real commitment to the guru. This is where 'guru yoga' comes in... attaining union with the guru. This union is initiated through what is called abhisheka, which could be translated as initiation or confirmation. This is our entry into the dharmakaya level.

The relationship between guru and disciple is of tremendous importance in Buddhist spiritual transmission, and that relationship is based on trust. But before such trust can be developed, there must be a period during which the guru tests his disciple. Because of the intimacy of that relationship, whatever happens between the two is vital to the teacher as well as the disciple. If something goes wrong, it reflects on the teacher as well as the disciple. The teacher must know better than to accept a student who is not ready to receive the teaching he has to offer.

And because of the intimacy of that relationship, the student must also in his way test the teacher. He must scrutinize him to see if he is really able to transmit the teaching... see if his actions tally with his words. If the conditions are not met on both sides, the relationship is not worthy to be engaged.

The term 'guru' is an Indian word, which has now almost become part of the English language. But properly used, this term does not refer so much to a human teacher as to a shift in attention from the teacher to the teaching (dharma) itself. The human person might more properly be called the kalyanamitra, or 'spiritual friend.' The actual term 'guru' has a more universal sense. The kalyanamitra is just a human who can point the way to the guru.

So it is important that we recognize that the real guru is the dharma and not confound that with the kalyanamitra in the manner of a mere personality cult. This relationship between the guru and the kalyanamitra is not a simple equation. Still, the kalyanamitra can be recognized as one able to show the knowledge which the student requires as a vital factor in his spiritual growth.

In the guru-disciple relationship there is a continual oscillation between success and failure. Sometimes things go smoothly. This is a fine thing; but that may also introduce a new danger. We may become too self-sure, too confident that everything is going to come out as we would like it. Complacency builds up. So sometimes the failures that arise are important too. Out of this experience of failure we come to see things in a new light. And if the person is intelligent, he will learn from the mistakes he has made."

~ Excerpts from 'The Dawn of Tantra' by Herbert V. Guenther and Chogyam Trungpa.

Prophetic words indeed!

"The essence of emptiness is compassion, and that compassion is called the all-illuminating samadhi, something that appears outside. In emptiness, there is no such thing as something that appears and something that makes things appear. It is one emptiness. When compassion arises from that state, it is called the all-illuminating samadhi."

Exploring the Timeless Beauty of Jain Temples

Jain temples are some of the most exquisite and spiritually uplifting structures found across India and beyond. Known for their intricate carvings, stunning architecture, and deep-rooted significance in Jainism, these temples attract both devotees and tourists alike. Whether nestled in bustling cities or perched atop scenic hills, Jain temples offer a unique blend of devotion, artistry, and serenity.

The Essence of Jain Temples

Jainism, one of the oldest religions in the world, emphasizes non-violence, truth, and asceticism. Jain temples reflect these principles through their detailed craftsmanship and serene ambiance. Unlike grandiose places of worship in other faiths, Jain temples prioritize purity, simplicity, and precision in their design.

Key Features of Jain Temples

Exquisite Marble Work – Many Jain temples, especially those in Rajasthan and Gujarat, are made of pristine white marble with fine carvings depicting stories from Jain scriptures.

Intricate Carvings – The walls, pillars, and ceilings are adorned with intricate depictions of celestial beings, floral motifs, and mythological narratives.

Idols of Tirthankaras – The primary deity in Jain temples is a Tirthankara (spiritual teacher), represented in a meditative posture with serene expressions.

Peaceful Atmosphere – The temples maintain an aura of silence, meditation, and spiritual tranquility, making them perfect sanctuaries for self-reflection.

Sacred Rituals – Devotees engage in rituals such as abhisheka (ceremonial bathing of idols), offering of flowers, and chanting prayers.

Famous Jain Temples Worth Visiting

1. Dilwara Temples, Rajasthan

Located in Mount Abu, the Dilwara Temples are an architectural marvel. Built between the 11th and 13th centuries, these temples are known for their intricate marble carvings, breathtaking ceiling designs, and beautifully sculpted pillars.

One of the largest and most stunning Jain temples in India, Ranakpur Temple is famous for its 1,444 uniquely carved pillars. No two pillars are alike, and the temple's play of light and shadow enhances its mystical beauty.

3. Shikharji, Jharkhand

Considered the most sacred pilgrimage site for Jains, Shikharji is located on Parasnath Hill. Pilgrims undertake a trek to reach the temples, where 20 out of 24 Tirthankaras are believed to have attained liberation.

4. Palitana Temples, Gujarat

Palitana boasts over 800 temples on Shatrunjaya Hill. It is a major pilgrimage site where devotees believe that visiting these temples leads to spiritual enlightenment.

5. Shravanabelagola, Karnataka

Home to the 57-foot tall monolithic statue of Lord Bahubali, Shravanabelagola is an important Jain heritage site. The Mahamastakabhisheka, held once every 12 years, draws thousands of devotees and tourists from around the world.

Why Visit a Jain Temple?

Cultural Experience – Jain temples offer a deep insight into an ancient religion that continues to thrive with its traditions and values.

Serene Environment – Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, these temples offer a calming and rejuvenating experience.

Final Thoughts

Jain temples are not just places of worship; they are historical treasures that reflect India's rich cultural and spiritual heritage.

Next time you plan a journey, consider adding a Jain temple to your itinerary—it might just be the peaceful retreat you need!

10 avril :  Mahavir Jayanti, la fête la plus importante du jaïnisme

Mahavir Jayanti, également connu sous le nom de Mahavir Janma Kalyanak, est la fête majeure du jaïnisme, une religion minoritaire de l’Inde et de ses 10 millions d’adeptes. Elle célèbre l'anniversaire de Jina Mahavira, chef spirituel vénéré et 24e tirthankara (personne ayant atteint l'illumination, un sage). Les deux écoles du jaïnisme, Digambar et Swetambara se disputent sur l’année exacte de naissance de Mahavira entre 599 av. J.-C. ou 615 av. JC. Mais toutes les deux s’accorent sur la date exacte de sa naissance : le 13 du mois de Chaitra (dans le calendrier hindou). Une date qui tombe en mars ou en avril du calendrier grégorien. L’époque où il aurait vécu, sa biographie telle est racontée et son enseignement sont très proches de celui du Bouddha.

Lors de la célébration, l'icône de Mahavira est portée sur un char lors d'une procession festive appelée Ratha Jatra. Ensuite, celle-ci fait l’objet d’un bain rituel et une onction (abhisheka). Durant la journée, la plupart des Jaïns récitent des mantras et des prières, méditent, assistent à des sermons et participent à des missions caritatives comme sauver des vaches de l'abattoir (les jaïns sont strictement végétariens) ou aider à nourrir les pauvres.

C’est la seule fête jaïne à être reconnue par le gouvernement indien qui en a fait un jour férié national. C'est un jour férié pour le gouvernement et les écoles dans le Maharashtra ainsi que dans les états du Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh.
