    140 | Reorienting to Freedom

    Reorienting the mind towards freedom and embodying our true nature fully and interupptedly breeds a steadfast heart and flexible mind. In this special replay episode, Lamas Yeshe and Zopa share the vital practice of contemplating the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to Dharma, which reoirents the mind away from the deceptivenss of samsara and towards liberation and buddhahood. This is a replay of the first in a five-part series we aired in 2023, exploring each of the four thoughts and their contemplative practice. These are contemplations well worth revisiting, time and again.⁠ Download free guided practices for the four contemplations and more here: https://www.prajnafire.com/downloadsPRAJNA SPARKS follows the lunar calendar.

    CONDUCT is both an expression of our integrity with the View of the Buddha Shakyamuni's teachings cultivated through meditation, and a potent influence on our experience, our world, and our spiritual development. In the third of three episodes on view, meditation, and conduct, Lamas Yeshe and Zopa explore what conduct is generally and in the context of this triad, as well as how the three elementsrelate dynamically to one another, and cohesively to other paradigms of the Buddha's teachings.Full lyrics and audio with melody for the Milarepa song "Profound Definitive Meaning Sung on the Snowy Range," translated into English and arranged for song by Jim Scott and Ari Goldfield, which is used for the contemplation segment of this episode, is available at:https://ktgrinpoche.org/songs/profound-definitive-meaning-sung-snowy-rangeThis episode was recorded at Pullahari Monastery in Nepal--can you catch the songbirds, aircraft, and dogs that are part of our daily soundtrack here?⁠Make a dana offering⁠PRAJNA FIRE is a United States 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious organization.

    137 | View

    VIEW takes primary place in the Buddha Shakyamuni's path of spiritual practice. It encompasses the perspective, the belief systems, the worldview that knows who things are as we find them, and leads onward to liberation from samsara and buddhahood, the perfect and complete embodiment of our mind's true nature. Lamas Yeshe and Zopa explore what view is, how it helps us navigate our lives with skill and grace, and lay the groundwork for exploring two important related elements, Meditation and Conduct.

May its stem be the size of the King of Mountains, Mt. Meru. May its oil fill the surrounding oceans. In number, may a hundred million appear before each and every buddha. May its light dispel all the darkness of ignorance from the Peak of Existence to the Incessant Hell and illumine all the Pure Realms of the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions so they are clearly seen. OM VAJRA ALOKE AH HU¥ Emaho! I offer this amazing, wonderful, bright lamp To the one thousand buddhas of this fortunate aeon The lamas, yidams, dakinis, dharma protectors, And gatherings of deities in the mandalas Of all pure realms of the infinite ten directions. My parents in the fore, may every sentient being In this lifetime and all the places they take birth See the pure realms of the perfect Buddhas directly And then become inseparable from Amitabha. Out of the power of the truth of the Three Jewels And the deities of the Three Roots I've made this prayer. Please grant your blessings that it be quickly accomplished.
