The Little Prince Rahula Also Joins The Order
The Little Prince Rahula Also Joins The Order
My children, you all know that Princess Yasodhara had a son. He was Prince Rahula. This Prince Rahula had never seen his father, the Prince Siddhartha. After seven long years the person whom Rahula finally met was not his father but the Buddha; who was like a father to everyone. That day Princess Yasodara called Prince Rahula to her side, showed the Buddha who was at a distance and said;
“My darling little son, come here please. The Buddha is the most beautiful person in the whole world. And He is the person who endured endless sufferings for years, searching liberation for all. My darling son He is your father. He has come back for you and me with love and compassion. So please go to Him. His heart is full of love and care for little ones like you.”
Prince Rahula was only seven years old. He ran towards the Buddha, clung onto the Buddha’s hand, and started talking fondly. When the Buddha returned to the temple, Prince Rahula followed holding the Buddha’s small finger. On his way, little Prince Rahula continued fondly “Dear Buddha, your shadow is very comfortable.”
Once returned to the temple the Prince asked “Dear Buddha, my mother said that you possess the most precious treasures in this world, and that I am the heir to those treasures. So she wanted me to ask for those”.
“Dear Rahula, the most precious treasure in this world is the Supreme Dhamma. There is no greater treasure in this world or in any other world.”
“My dear Buddha, please give me those treasures”
“Dear Rahula, would you like to become a recluse like me?”
Then the little Prince Rahula requested ordination with utmost eagerness. He wanted a yellow robe, a clay bowl, and wanted to go out for alms. And also he liked to meditate under shady trees. The Buddha handed over Prince Rahula to the chief disciple Arahant Sariputta. It was Arahant Sariputta who admitted little Rahul as a bhikkhu to the Buddhist order. From that day onwards little prince Rahula became well known as Rahula bhadra, meaning; beautiful Rahula.
One day, the Buddha called little bhikkhu Rahula. “Dear Rahula, bring that little pot please. Do you see that the pot has only a small amount of water?”
“Yes, my Lord Buddha.”
“Dear Rahula, similarly if someone is not ashamed of lying intentionally, never will that person’s life be filled with virtues.”
Then the Buddha threw the water in the pot. He then kept the empty pot in front of the little bhikkhu Rahula. “Dear Rahula, just as the water in the pot was easily thrown out, similarly the remaining good qualities of a person who is not ashamed of lying intentionally will get easily disposed off.”
Then the Buddha turned that pot upside down. “Dear Rahula, the pot is now turned upside down. Similarly, the good qualities of a person who is not ashamed of lying intentionally will be turned upside down. He will not prosper in life.
Dear Rahula, do you remember the story of the gigantic tusker who went to war. During the war this tusker worked with his front legs, with his rear legs, with his body, with his tail and with his long tusks. However, dear Rahula, this tusker protected his trunk. Then the mahout thought; “This tusker has not offered its life for the king. That is why it hides its trunk.”
And Rahula, there is another tusker. During the war, this tusker worked with his front legs, with his rear legs, with his body, with his tail,with his long tusks and with his trunk. Then the mahout thought. “This elephant has offered its whole life for the king. So this tusker has nothing more to offer the king.”
Dear Rahula, the person who is not ashamed of lying intentionally is like that. There are no sins or bad deeds that he cannot perform. Hence Rahula, you must firmly decide to be so disciplined that you will never lie.”
“Dear Rahula, now tell me what is the use of a mirror?”
“My Lord Buddha, you can use it to observe your face.”
“Dear Rahula, similarly, you must contemplate wisely, and thoroughl

What we understand to be phenomena Are but the magical projections of the mind. The hollow vastness of the sky
Song of Yeshe Tsogyal
What we understand to be phenomena
Are but the magical projections of the mind.
The hollow vastness of the sky
I never saw to be afraid of anything.
All this is but the self-glowing light of clarity.
There is no other cause at all.
All that happens is but my adornment.
Better, then, to stay in silent meditation.

Better, then, to stay in silent meditation.
Yeshe Tsogyal also known as Victorious Ocean of Wisdom was the chief disciple and consort of the Indian master Padmasambhava during the 8th century in central Tibet. A master in her own right, Yeshe Tsogyal preserved Padmasambhava's teachings and demonstrated the path to enlightenment through the example of her own life.

Buddha Samantabhadra/Kuntuzangpo
He is depicted as a buddha, sky-blue in colour, sitting in the vast expanse of space, and encircled by an aura of rainbow light. He is completely naked, meaning unstained by any trace of concept. His name, Kuntuzangpo in Tibetan, Samantabhadra in Sanskrit, means ‘always good', ‘always well’ or ‘unchanging goodness.’ What this signifies is that unchanging goodness, or fundamental goodness, is our ultimate nature.
In the Dzogchen teachings, our true nature, that state of the Ground, is given the name the 'Primordial Buddha'. Sogyal Rinpoche writes, "[Kuntuzangpo] represents the absolute, naked, sky-like primordial purity of the nature of our mind".

KUN GYI RIK PA RANG SHEY SHOK
May all of you recognize your own awareness!
LHEN CHIK KYEY PAI MA RIK PA
Coemergent unawareness is
SHEY PA DREN ME YENG PA YIN
Unmindfulness and distraction.
KUN TU TAK PAI MA RIK PA
Conceptual unawareness is
DAK ZHEN NYIY SU DZIN PA YIN
The dualism of self and other.
LHEN CHIK KUN TAK MA RIK NYIY
Both coemergent and conceptual unawareness are
SEM CHEN KUN GYI T’HRUL ZHI YIN
The ground for the delusion of all sentient beings.
SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
By my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
KHOR WAI SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY KYI
May all of you sentient beings wandering in samsara
DREN ME T’HIB PAI MUN PA SANG
Clear away the enveloping darkness of unmindfulness,
NYIY SU DZIN PAI SHEY PA DANG
And purify dualistic mind.
RIK MAI RANG NGO SHE PAR SHOK
May you recognize your own awareness!
NYIY DZIN LO NI T’HE TSHOM TE
Dualistic mind is itself doubt.
ZHEN PA T’HRA MO KYEY PA LAY
From the arising of subtle clinging,
BAK CHHAK T’HUK PO RIM GYIY TAY
Habitual tendencies become successively heavier.
ZAY NOR GÖ DANG NAY DANG DROK
Food, wealth, clothes, your home and companions,
DÖ YÖN NGA DANG JYAM DANG NYEN
The five sense pleasures and your loved ones •
YI ONG CHHAK PAI DÖ PAY DUNG
You are tormented by your desire for all these enjoyable things to which you are attached.
DE DAK JIK TEN T’HRUL PA TE
They are worldly delusions,
ZUNG DZIN LAY LA ZAY T’HA ME
And the karma caused by duality is never ending.
ZHEN PAI DRAY BU MIN PA’I TSHE
When the fruit of clinging ripens,
KAM CHHAK DUNG PAI YI DAK SU
You are born a hungry ghost, tormented by craving.
KYEY NAY TREY KOM YA RE NGA
You are hungry and thirsty. How terrible!
SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
By my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
DÖ CHHAK ZHEN PAI SEM CHEN NAM
You sentient beings with desire and clinging,
DÖ PAI DUNG WA CHHYIR MA PANG
Neither reject the yearning of desire
DÖ CHHAK ZHEN PA TSHUR MA LANG
Nor accept clinging to desire.
SHEY PA RANG SOR LÖ PA YIY
By relaxing your mind in its own natural state,
RIK PA RANG SO ZIN GYUR NAY
You will realize the natural state of awareness.
KUN TOK YE SHEY T’HOB PAR SHOK
May you attain discerning primordial wisdom!
CHHYI ROL YUL GYI NANG WA LA
When external objects appear,
JIK TRAK SHEY PA T’HRA MO GYÜ
The subtle consciousness of fear comes into being.
DANG WAI BAK CHHAK TAY PA LAY
As the habitual tendency of anger becomes heavier,
DRAR DZIN DEK SÖ HRAK PA KYEY
Then with the gross perception of enemy, violence and killing come into being.
ZHE DANG DRAY BU MIN PAI TSHE
When the fruit of anger ripens,
NYAL WAI TSO SEK DUK RE NGAL
You will suffer terribly in hell by being boiled and burned.
SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
By my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
DRO DRUK SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY KYI
Oh, sentient beings of the six realms,
ZHE DANG DRAK PO KYEY PAI TSHE
When strong anger arises in you,
PANG LANG MI JYA RANG SOR LÖ
Neither accept nor reject it, instead relax in the natural state.
RIK MA RANG SO ZIN GYUR NAY
Having realized the natural state of awareness,
SAL WAI YE SHEY T’HOB PAR SHOK
May you attain the primordial wisdom of clarity!
RANG SEM KHENG PAR GYUR PA LA
When your mind becomes arrogant,
ZHEN LA DREN SEM MAY PAI LO
There arise thoughts of competition and contempt for others,
NGA GYAL DRAK PÖ SEM KYEY PAY
And your pride grows stronger.
DAK ZHEN T’HAB TSÖ DUK NGAL NYONG
Therefore, you will experience the suffering of fighting and quarrelling between yourself and others.
LAY DEI DRAY BU MIN PAI TSHE
When the fruit of this karma ripens,
P’HO TUNG NYONG WAI LHA RU KYE
You will be born in the god realm and experience the suffering of change and falling to lower realms.
SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
By my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
KHENG SEM KYEY PAI SEM CHEN NAM
Oh, sentient beings, when arrogance arises in you,
DE TSHE SHEY PA RANG SOR LÖ
Let your mind relax in its natural state.
RIK PA RANG SO ZIN GYUR NAY
Having realized the natural state of awareness,
NYAM PA NYI KYI DÖN TOK SHOK
May you attain the primordial wisdom of equanimity!
NYIY DZIN TAY PAI BAK CHHAK KYIY
Habitual tendencies that solidify dualism
DAK TÖ ZHEN MÖ ZUK NGU LAY
Give rise to painful actions of praising yourself and disparaging others.
T’HAB TSÖ DREN SEM TAY PA LAY
From that competition and fighting intensify
SÖ CHÖ LHA MIN NAY SU KYE
And you will be born in the demi-god realm where there is killing.
DRAY BY NYAL WAI NAY SU TUNG
The result of this will be to plunge into the hell realm.
SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
By my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
DREN SEM T’HAB TSÖ KYEY PA NAM
You, in whom competition and fighting arise,
DRAR DZIN MI JYA RANG SOR LÖ
Do not see others as enemies but relax in the natural state.
SHEY PA RANG SO ZIN GYUR NAY
Having realized the natural state of mind,
T’HRIN LAY T’HOK ME YE SHEY SHOK
May you attain the primordial wisdom of unobstructed enlightened activity!
DREN ME TANG NYOM YENG PA YIY
By being distracted, indifferent and unmindful,
T’HIB DANG MUK DANG JE PA DANG
You will become clouded over, in fog and forgetful,
GYAL DANG LE LO TI MUK PAY
Unconcious, lazy and ignorant.
DRAY BU KYAB ME JYOL SONG CHYAM
The fruit of this will be to wander helplessly in the animal realm.
SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
By my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
TI MUK JYUNG PAI MUN PA LA
For you who are sinking in the darkness of ignorance,
DREN PA SEL WAI DANG SHAR WAY
May the radiance of luminous mindfulness shine.
TOK ME YE SHEY T’HOB PAR SHOK
And may you attain nonconceptual primordial wisdom!
KHAM SUM SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY KUN
All you sentient beings of the three realms
KUN ZHI SANG GYAY NAG DANG NYAM
Are actually the same as me, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo, the ground of everything.
DREM ME T’HRUL PAI ZHI RU SONG
But unmindfulness led you to the ground of delusion.
DA TA DÖN ME LAY LA CHYÖ
So now you are indulging in meaningless activity,
LAY DRUK MI LAM T’HRUL PA DRA
The six karmas, which are like deluded dreams.
NGA NI SANG GYAY T’HOK MA YIN
I, the original Buddha,
DRO DRUK TRUL PAY DUL WAI CHHYIR
Train the six types of beings through my emanations.
KUN TU ZANG PÖ MÖN LAM GYIY
By this prayer of Kuntuzangpo,
SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY MA LÜ PA
Oh, sentient beings, may all of you without exception
CHHÖ KYI YING SU TSHANG GYA SHOK
Attain enlightenment in the immeasurable stainless space of phenomena!
AH HO CHHYIN CHHAY NAL JYOR TOB CHEN GYIY
Ah Ho! Hereafter, whenever a powerful practitioner,
T’HRUL ME RIK PA RANG SEL NAY
From undeluded naturally luminous awareness
MÖN LAM TOB CHEN DI TAB PAY
Recites this powerful prayer,
DI T’HÖ SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY KUN
All sentient beings who hear it
KYE WA SUM NAY NGÖN TSHANG GYA
Will attain enlightenment within three lifetimes.
NYI DA ZA YI ZIN PA’AM
\During a solar or lunar eclipse,
DRA DANG SA YÖ JYUNG WA’AM
During an earthquake, or when the earth rumbles,
NYI MA DOK GYUR LO P’HO DÜ
At the solstices or the end of the year,
RANG NYIY KUN TU ZANG POR KYEY
Visualize yourself as Kuntuzangpo.
KUN GYIY T’HÖ PAR DI JÖ NA
If you then recite this for all to hear,
KHAM SUM SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY LA
All sentient beings of the three realms,
NAL JYOR DE YIY MÖN LAM GYIY
Because of this practitioner’s prayers,
DUK NGAL RIM ZHIN DROL NAY KYANG
Will gradually be liberated from suffering
T’HA RU SANG GYAY THOB PAR GYUR
And ultimately attain Buddhahood!
Thus it has been said.
This prayer was taken from the Ninth Chapter “The Recitation of
the Powerful Prayer in which Sentient Beings Cannot Resist
Becoming Buddha” from the tantric scripture “The unobstructed
Enlightened Mind of the Great Perfection Kuntuzangpo”.

Ignorance means ignorance of our own Buddha-nature.
Ignorance means ignorance of our own Buddha-nature. In this respect, we are as ignorant as a beggar with a precious jewel in his hand who, not recognizing how valuable it is, simply throws it away.
It is because of ignorance that we are the slaves of our thoughts and cannot tell right from wrong. It is because of ignorance that we are blind to the law of cause and effect and refuse to believe that every action has a result. It is because of ignorance that we cannot accept the existence of past and future lives. It is because of ignorance that we have no confidence in the beneficial results of praying to the Three Jewels. It is because of ignorance that we do not recognize the truth of the Dharma.
Ignorance is at the very root of the eighty-four thousand negative emotions, for as long as we fail to see that the true nature of everything is voidness, we insist on believing that things really exist; and this is the source of all deluded perceptions and all negative thoughts...
