Summary

The inherently potent merging of Tibetan Buddhism-supported mind states, in concert with the vibrational qualities of Sanskrit sounds and syllables, provides a direct, enriching stimulus to the energies -- and results -- of our Dharma practice. This has been understood and experienced by practitioners for centuries, who will recite teachings and prayers in their own Tibetan language but have preserved and practice their mantra recitations in Sanskrit, knowing a mantra's intrinsic 'merit' lies mainly in its vibrational qualities rather than in any psychological meaning that society, culture, civilization or humans have placed on it. But initial 'mantra practice' challenges are not uncommon here in the West . . .  (Length: 15 minutes) Written by Mark Winwood of the Chenrezig Project, shared here by Kathy Ambrose with accompanying music composed and performed by the San Francisco Bay-area musician Bobby Vega.

    Kleshas: Like Highway Robbers . . .

    Release Date: 12/04/2023

    Description: Ignorance, Anger, Confusion, Greed, Jealousy, Arrogance, Cynical Doubt, Laziness, Wrong Views, Low Self Esteem, Fear. In Buddhism these are known as Kleshas, mental hindrances that cloud our mind, setting the stage for unwholesome (i.e., self-centered) intentional actions. They are stubborn -- sneaky, lurking -- like highway robbers, always ready to pounce . . . contaminating our perspectives while bringing about unfavorable moods and vulnerabilities. But they are transient . . . just thoughts, and so . . . enter Lojong (Tibetan mind training).

    BUDDHA and the MIND with Robina Courtin

    Release Date: 03/27/2024

    Description: A Buddhist nun since the late 1970s, Robina Courtin has worked since then with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, a worldwide network of Tibetan Buddhist activities of her teachers, Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinopche. She has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications, editor of Mandala magazine, executive director of Liberation Prison Project, and as a touring teacher of Buddhism. She was born in Melbourne, Australia, and educated by the Catholic nuns. She studied classical singing until the mid-1960s when, ripe and ready for revolution, she became involved in the radical left in London and eventually feminism. Wanting something spiritual again she met Tibetan lamas in 1976, in Australia, and received ordination as a monastic eighteen months later, in Kathmandu. Robina’s life, as well as her work with prisoners, have been featured in the documentary films Chasing Buddha. A CD of her singing prayers and mantras, Devotion, in collaboration with Yantra de Vilder, was produced in 2018. Both available at robinacourtin.com. _____________________________________________ Broader Lens Podcast links: Spotify - https://spotify.link/ExwYCr2EuDb Instagram - https://instagram.com/broader_lens_podcast?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BroaderLensPodcast [email protected] _____________________________________________ #spirituality #buddhism #buddhanature #buddhamindset #buddhist #bodhicitta #buddha #philosophy #enlightenment #awakening #awareness #understanding #mystic #mindfulness #compassion #religion #question #science #karma #pastlives #responsibility #nirvana #god #mind #love #robinacourtin #chasingbuddha #broaderlenspodcast #youtubevideos
