Sraddhagita on Dhardo Rimpoche
Guest speaker Sraddhagita celebrates the life and character of Dhardo Rimpoche (1918-1990).
Dhardo was one of the first 20th century Tibetan Lamas to work in India, becoming Abbot of the temple at Bodh Gaya, and then working to preserve Tibetan language and culture and help Tibetan refugee children. He was the closest teacher of Sangharakshita, and encouraged him to set up the Triratna community in the West.
A kind mentor and a deep practitioner with an astonishing daily programme of practice. (How can we bring our meditation practice into our daily life, as he did?) As a student monk, "he knew he was not true Bodhisattva, but decided to do all he could to become one", and in this he succeeded.
At the North London Buddhist Centre Saturday Morning class, 9 November 2024.

    The Buddha would pretend to not be able to lift it as a funny joke then place a hem of his robe on it and challenge Thor to lift the hammer again and just fully have a giggle as he struggles.

    35:00 (TAM MAM LAM PAM CUM PAM BHRUM) At the very top of the bell is an eight-petal lotus (symbol of the eight bodhisattvas and their female partners as the eight goddesses), on which are the syllables of the eight female bodhisattvas. The arrangement of the petals, the syllables on them, and the arrangement of the goddesses have a specific meaning. They rotate sequentially, starting from the eastern petal, clockwise: ritual bell - top view East - the bodhisattva Kshitigarbha and his consort Lasya, the goddess offering beauty; syllable TAM. Southeast - the bodhisattva Maitreya and his consort Pushpa, the flower-offering goddess; syllable MAM. South - the bodhisattva Akasiagarbha and his consort Mala, the goddess offering garlands; syllable LAM. Southwest - the bodhisattva Samantabhadra and his consort Dhupa, the incense-offering goddess; syllable PAM. West - the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara and his consort Gita, the goddess offering the song; the syllable MAM. Northwest - the bodhisattva Manjughosha and his consort Aloka, the light-offering goddess; syllable CUM. North - the bodhisattva Vajrapani and his consort Nritya, the dance offering goddess; syllable PAM. Northeast - the bodhisattva Sarva-nirvana-viśkambhim and his consort Gandha, the perfume-offering goddess; syllable BHRUM. The most popular arrangement of the bodhisattva symbols placed between the heads (Skt. kirtimukha) corresponds to eight syllables. Thus: to the east is a wheel (Tam), to the southeast an utpala flower (Mam), to the south a jewel (Lam), to the southwest a wheel (Pam), to the west a lotus flower (Mam), to the northwest a vajra (Cum), to the north a sword (Pam), and to the northeast a lotus flower (Bhrum).

    If Lord Buddha can lift pain and suffering and sorrow from the shoulders of humans. Thor’s Hammer is just a feather’s weight in his hand. As the Monkey King found out when he tried to jump out of Buddha’s hand to achieve immortality.

    If you would actually benefit from understanding the teaching of Lord Gotama Buddha, then read what he wrote. Much of his writing is freely available on the web DO NOT pay any attention to these people telling you what he taught. Find out for yourself and see if enlightenment is the way forward for you. These interpreters are just wasting your time and sending you chasing after red herrings - which, I suppose, is what most people want :- reassurance that they don’t need to change their whole way of life to call themselves Buddhists

    VAJRA=DIAMOND IN SANSKRIT OF HINDU/BUDDHISTS WHO USE THE VAJRA SYMBOLS BUT IT IS ALSO CORRECT TO NOTE THE VAJRA ALSO SYMBOLISES THE THUNDERBOLT WEAPON OF CELESTIAL PLANETORY AND SOLAR DIETY.
