The sun, the moon, the precious parasol, the banner of victory in all directions. In the center are the most perfect riches of gods and humans, with nothing missing, pure and delightful.

       RINPOCHE’S ADVICE ON THE IMMENSE SPIRITUAL BENEFITS OF MAKING THE MANDALA OFFERING

       “[The] mandala offering is an extremely powerful method for accumulating extensive merits and receiving realizations such as bodhichitta and emptiness quickly. Just as great strength is needed to carry a heavy load, a great amount of merit is needed to lead all sentient beings to Enlightenment. There is nothing that can be offered with your hands that is more meritorious than offering mandalas.

       “The mandala offering contains the practice of all six perfections. The six Buddhist perfections are: generosity, morality, patience, joyous effort, meditative concentration, and wisdom.

       “By cleaning and blessing the mandala base with a special liquid, you practice the perfection of generosity. Checking the grain for insects results in the perfection of moral conduct, and removing insects from the grain without harming them leads to the perfection of patience. By thinking of how fortunate you are to be able to practice Dharma and making the offering with joy, you cultivate joyous effort. By not forgetting the visualization, you attain concentration. By clearly visualizing the colors and objects in the mandala, wisdom is attained. Therefore, offering mandalas helps you to quickly complete the two accumulations of the merits of method and wisdom, as it contains all the six perfections.

       “This practice pacifies all hindrances to your temporal and ultimate happiness. These depend on merit, and merit depends on offerings. The most meritorious object to offer is the mandala. Therefore if you wish to achieve temporal and ultimate happiness, you can make many mandala offerings.

       “Lama Tsong Khapa (a fifteenth-century lama who founded the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism) offered 1,800,000 mandala offerings and achieved all the realizations of the stages and paths. If you wish to gain realizations you should offer mandala offerings to your guru every СКАЧАТЬ
