Immeasurable Longevity and Wisdom

His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin

His Holinessthe 42nd Sakya Trizin, Ratna Vajra Rinpoche spoke of the significance of Chötrul Düchen in commemorating the fifteen days during which the Buddha performed a different beneficial miracle each day in Śrāvastī. The merit of our positive actions during these fifteen days is enormously enhanced, and one of the most positive things we can do, he said, is to study the Buddha’s words, the sūtras. He then introduced The Aparimitāyurjñāna Sūtra which the Buddha taught as a practice anyone can do to loosen the hold of conditions that might shorten life. Honoring the Buddha Aparimitāyurjñāna through reciting this text brings many benefits and is accessible to all. After explaining the initial passages of the text that set out its purpose, His Holiness kindly gave the transmission by reading the whole text in Tibetan.

The Good Eon - Part 1

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

This sutra was initiated by Shakyamuni Buddha, at the end of a retreat in Vaishali. Present were monks, bodhisattvas, ghosts, nagas and rakshas: an audience of many different types of beings. Among them was a bodhisattva called Supreme Joy, who posed 17 questions concerning how a bodhisattva can help all sentient beings. These questions lead us outside the limits of conventional thinking, to consider what it means to have genuine compassion for the multiplicity of sentient beings. This eon is good because more than 1,000 Buddhas and more than 84,000 ways of accessing the truth will appear.

The Stem Array (Gandavyuha) - Part 1

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Our hero in this sutra is Sudhana, a wealthy merchant who goes on pilgrimage in search of the truth. In his journey he encounters more than 50 incredible gurus, all with different manifestations, including a child and a prostitute. In his quest, Sudhana learns that to apply the bodhisattva path, he has to let go of a narrow, limited view of conventional reality and be open-minded to the infinite or Mahayana view. The sutra is not just a buddhist fairy tale but a deconstruction of our limited viewpoint of the world around us and what we think as reality. The final guru is the bodhisattva Samantabhadra and the sutra ends with his Prayer of Aspiration.
