      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness and Richard Moore talk about forgiveness at the Tibetan Children&amp;#8217;s Village school. His Holiness&amp;#8217;s talk is in Tibetan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a young boy of ten in Derry, Richard Moore was struck by a rubber bullet that left him blind. His Holiness was deeply moved when he heard how Richard had felt no anger to the soldier who fired the bullet and completely forgiven him. Amazingly, from childhood to the present day he has never allowed bitterness to cont&amp;#8230;rol his emotions. Richard has gone on to become the founder of Children in Crossfire that strives towards the creation of a safe environment for all children. In his citation to Richard, His Holiness says, &amp;#8220;You are my hero; while I talk about forgiveness, you have made it part of your life. This is a wonderful model for others to follow&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness answers questions about whether it is proper for monks to receive teachings from women, whether students may study Tibetan language from a devotee of the controversial Shugden spirit, why mental transformation is not apparent despite faithful morning meditation practice, and what practices are recommended for devotees in addition to fervent prayers for His Holinessâ€™ long life. His Holiness continues his commentary on Kamalashilaâ€™s text by discussing the mind of ultimate bodhicitta, its basis in the combined meditations of calm abiding and special insight, and the requisites for developing that meditation practice.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness focuses on bodhicitta generated from the seed of compassion watered by the true wisdom that counters obsessive self-cherishing. He explains the rational for generating bodhicitta by â€œequalizing and exchangingâ€&#157; narrow egoism for a mind that cherishes others and how that replaces the causes of suffering with true joy based on verses 73-89 of Nagarjunaâ€™s text. Turning to Kamalashilaâ€™s text, His Holiness explains the methodical process for generating an aspiration for bodhicitta and strengthening that mind into the genuine/spontaneous determination, the entrance into the Bodhisattva path.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness answers questions about methodical study of Je Tsongkhapaâ€™s Lam Rim Chen-mo and support for His Holinessâ€™ mission for Tibet. His Holiness begins explaining Kamalshilaâ€™s text and the requisites for developing bodhicitta. Compassion is the root, and the variety that fuels bodhicitta is generated from its complement, genuine renunciation. First, identify the source of oneâ€™s own suffering (forced cyclic rebirth of aggregates), its causes (afflictions and their karmic fruit) and cure (valid wisdom). Genuine renunciation demarcates Buddhist morality and virtue. From this, expand awareness of othersâ€™ suffering, counter narrow prejudice with equanimity, deepen gratitude towards all beings and the cherishing resolve. Remember that dharma practice is a 24-hour undertaking that is recharged in meditation and teaching sessions.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;At the start, His Holiness answers questions about the role of gurus on the path and antidotes to laziness. Then he continues explaining the Nagarjuna text by focusing on the harmony between the conventional and ultimate nature of phenomena and each personâ€™s buddha nature. Emptiness does not mean non-existence. Our practical well-being is enhanced by countering the appearance of independent existence with the wisdom of dependent origination. Repeating the mantra of Amitabha as a prayer to a sky-dwelling Buddha of Boundless Light is popular, but the real Amitabha is actualized by those who realize emptiness directly with the subtlest level of consciousness. The bodhicitta mind that leads to such realization is based on valid cognition not wishful daydreaming. His Holiness then introduces Kamalashila and his text, a practical manual for implementing the Bodhisattva Path.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Begins with His Holiness giving extensive answers to studentsâ€™ questions about topics raised in the morning: whether the two truths are independently existent (since they are not the result of the karma or enlightened activities) and the meaning and function of valid cognition. Then His Holiness explains that Nagarjuna introduces the topic of his text (ultimate bodhicitta per the Madhyamika/Middle Way) by citing a verse from higher yoga tantra that speaks of the profound meditation by the subjective clear light (the subtlest level of a personâ€™s consciousness and energy as meditator) and the objective clear light (the object of meditation, wisdom realizing ultimate truth). He shows how Nagarjuna engenders understanding of ultimate truth by refuting mistaken views of the self asserted by philosophies of non-Buddhist (as independent, eternal and unitary) or non-Madhyamika Buddhist tenets (as self-sufficient/substantially established and the Cittamatrin/Mind Only view that refutes subject/object duality of consciousness and external phenomena but clings to truly existent mind). His Holiness explains why only a correct understanding of ultimate bodhicitta can uproot the fundamental misperception of reality which is the root of all our sufferings.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Speaking mostly in English, His Holiness discusses the common Buddhist heritage of Asia and the value of applying Buddhismâ€™s analysis of inter-dependent origination to international and inter-personal affairs, as well as to scientific inquiry. He explains how inter-dependent analysis undermines anger and hatred for our â€œenemiesâ€&#157; and increases compassion, forgiveness and tolerance. He notes that Buddhism is not based on faith alone but is to be freely adopted after investigation. He urges Buddhists to study and implement right conduct (non-violence) and view (inter-dependence). Then His Holiness concludes the commentary on the Condensed Lam Rim verses by explaining the function and practice of the Tantric Vehicle on the path to Buddhahood. While he performs the actual ceremonies that confer the five lay precepts, generate the mind aspiring to Bodhicitta, and grant a tantric permissory initiation of Avalokiteshvara in Tibetan, His Holiness gives warm and occasionally humorous explanations of the meaning of these ceremonies in English.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Alternating between Tibetan and English, His Holiness continues his commentary on the traditional Lam Rim topics: the qualifications of the teacher and the student, the different scopes/aims of beings, the law of Karma, the meaning and causes of Liberation, Refuge, the Four Noble Truths and the three types of suffering, the Bodhisattva goals and practice (with reference to Je Tsongkhapaâ€™s Three Principal Aspects of the Path and the Three Higher Trainings). In English he discusses this lifeâ€™s final destination and emphasizes that real dharma practice is not simply mantra/rituals based on blind faith. He explains how to generate genuine bodhicitta by gaining conviction through study and analysis that the Great Vehicle path to enlightenment is achievable. He concludes by explaining how the profound meditation sessions on ultimate truth and the post-meditative activities of loving compassion act together as two wings propelling practitioners to enlightenment.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness answers in English audience questions about post-death clear light meditation, the impermanence of an inexhaustible enlightened continuum, and Buddhaâ€™s compassion for extremely negative perpetrators of abusive exploitation and their traumatized victims.  Then in Tibetan, he continues his commentary on Je Tsongkhapaâ€™s Lam Rim text with an overview of Buddhaâ€™s teachings and refers repeatedly to the Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom (Prajnaparamita) Sutraâ€™s mantra and view that all phenomena do not exist objectively yet do exist subjectively. In English, His Holiness outlines the history of Buddhismâ€™s transmission throughout Asia. He particularly focuses on the importance of two Indian scholar/saints for Tibetan Buddhism: Shantarakshita, who established Buddhismâ€™s solid foundation, and Dipamkara Atisha, who initiated the Tibetan Lam Rim literary/teaching genre which serves as a comprehensive travel guide for the journey to enlightenment.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness responds in English to students&amp;#8217; questions and discusses the discipline of a bullying son, Chairman Maoâ€™s advice on the Tibetan national flag, the balance of faith and doubt, and then concludes his discussion of Buddhist responses to the third spiritual question (does the self have an end) by explaining the logical basis for asserting that the purified continua of Buddhas do not end. His Holiness begins the commentary on Je Tsongkhapaâ€™s Condensed Stages of the Path in Tibetan`(English translation available for download at the following website, www.tibetanclassics.org/Jinpa_Translation.html). His extensive discourse on the first verse presents an overview of the path to Buddhahood (including inter-dependent causation, the importance of intellectual analysis, the â€œfour perverted viewsâ€&#157; that lead to suffering, the nature of mind, its afflictions/obscurations and their antidotes).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness speaks in English. He explains the biological and social benefits of the warm-hearted compassion that is promoted by secular human values and by the religious traditions of theism and non-theistic Buddhism. He presents the responses of theistic and non-theistic religions to three great spiritual questions: What is the self? Does the self have a beginning? Does the self have an End? In answering these questions, he speaks of his own experiences; warm-heartedness as a counter to depression, anxiety and fear; suffering as the result of mistaking deceptive appearances for reality; and of the profound yogic post-clinical death meditation being practiced at this time by the former Gaden Tripa.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama welcomes the main students of this teaching, a group of Buddhists from Korea. He compares the responses of the great spiritual philosophies to three questions: What is the nature of the self?  Does the self have a beginning? Does the self come to an end? For Buddhism, a causeless â€˜beginningâ€™ is not reasonable because material phenomena and consciousness can only arise in dependence upon their suitable/necessary causes and conditions. And the self appears in dependence upon imputation by consciousness.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness gives parting advice to the audience of ordained and lay Buddhists from Tibet and around the world and then concludes the oral transmission of the Jataka Tales. These last tales describe the Great Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s past lives as a monkey whose great compassion wins the respect of a greedy royal hunter; as an ascetic whose great patience triumphs over the violence of a royal sensualist; as a deva who teaches the law of karma to an amoral king; as an elephant who embraces suffering to rescue hundreds persecuted by a cruel ruler; and as a prince whose pure integrity and bravery convert a rogue cannibal king.  His Holiness concludes these Monlam teachings by reading short portions from the opening of the Dhammapada and the Jataka Tales, as an auspicious sign of further teachings.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

In the tale of the Ruru Deer, the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s compassion even extends to protecting one who had repaid an earlier kindness with betrayal, revealing that the root of all virtue is in compassion. The truly virtuous benefit others even at their own expense.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness begins by quoting the Dhammapada he has been reading from, saying, it is with the help of alertness and conscientiousness that we guard our minds. Guarding the mind leads to liberation or nirvana, which comes into being as a result of causes and conditions. Likewise, favourable states in cyclic existence are achieved through causes and conditions. The basis of training or taming the mind is to cultivate the ten wholesome actions. His Holiness remarks that while in the normal run of things we tend not to notice the movement of our minds, if we pay attention to it, we will gradually distinguish pure and impure states of mind. For example if we encounter the teachings of the Buddha and try to put them into practice, we should notice that our minds become calmer. Ultimately, it is the awakening mind that provides the greatest benefit to sentient beings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness continues to read the Jataka tales which reveal the importance of speaking the truth, the drawbacks of drinking liquor, the virtues of attachment and how those who wish to benefit themselves abandon the state of the householder, how important it is to strive for virtue and how by controlling anger we can appease our enemies.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Many accomplished beings have arisen as a result of the teachings the Buddha gave more than 2500 years ago. They overcame the disturbing emotions that give us trouble and which are rooted in ignorance. An example of our ignorance is the way we almost instinctively respond to pleasant and unpleasant objects either avidly wanting them or wishing to be rid of them. Disturbing emotions have no long term remedy other than understanding of emptiness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness continues to read from the Jataka tales that cite incidents in the former lives of the Buddha, when he was still a bodhisattva, that retain a moral for today. Repeatedly he engaged in significant acts of generosity and was an exemplar of virtue.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness begins by reminding his listeners that having achieved such a precious opportunity to practise the Buddhadharma, as is presented by our present lives as human beings, we need not only to make the best use of it, but also to ensure that we will be able to continue to practise in the future. We need to find a guide who possesses both scholarly knowledge and actual experience. The purpose is to ensure that all our activities of body, speech and mind are conducive to virtue. The text His Holiness is reading the Udanavarga or Dhammapada is a straightforward and readable source of advice and inspiration. He is passing on the oral transmission of the text itself, although he doesn&amp;#8217;t have transmission of a commentary to it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By employing discriminating wisdom on his progress to enlightenment, the Buddha was able to judge what to cultivate and what to give up in terms of thought, speech and conduct. Most important was generating concern for others, which overcomes self-centredness. Arya Nagarjuna summarised the path of a bodhisattva as consisting of great compassion, wisdom understanding emptiness and the awakening mind. The Jataka Tales, compiled in Sanskrit by the renowned poet Aryasura, contain accounts of what prompted Buddha Shakyamuni in various previous existences to enter into the bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s way of life.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The text His Holiness is reading the Udanavarga or Dhammapada is a straightforward and readable source of advice and inspiration. He is passing on the oral transmission of the text itself, although he doesn&amp;#8217;t have transmission of a commentary to it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By employing discriminating wisdom on his progress to enlightenment, the Buddha was able to judge what to cultivate and what to give up in terms of thought, speech and conduct. Most important was generating concern for others, which overcomes self-centredness. Arya Nagarjuna summarised the path of a bodhisattva as consisting of great compassion, wisdom understanding emptiness and the awakening mind. The Jataka Tales, compiled in Sanskrit by the renowned poet Aryasura, contain accounts of what prompted Buddha Shakyamuni in various previous existences to enter into the bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s way of life.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Dhammapada and the Jataka Tales; 23-February-2008 (Day 2 of 7; Afternoon) - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Quoting the great Indian master Chandrakirti, His Holiness the Dalai Lama recommends that we should use our sophisticated intelligence to benefit others rather than harming them. Being self-centred and doing harm will bring us no good in the long run. Whereas even predatory animals are calm and peaceful once their hunger is satisfied, human beings seem able to engage in relentless harm and slaughter. Look at the appalling sophistication of modern weapons, technology. Although these weapons systems are allegedly for their defensive and deterrent purposes, they are actually employed to destroy others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just as we examine physical objects to see how they would be useful to us, we should investigate our mental states. Some mental characteristics lead to calm and satisfaction, while others are clearly disturbing. Think about the result of generating anger, which generally yields no benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We should distinguish between those mental states whose affect is useful or neutral and those that are disturbing and therefore harmful. Afflictive or disturbing doubt can cause us to lose direction. On the other hand, only by questioning on the basis of curiosity and doubt do we find things out. The opposite, blind faith is not very useful. Faith needs to be employed with intelligence and wisdom. The Buddha encouraged his followers not to accept his words at face value, but to examine them shrewdly the way a goldsmith examines gold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness reads chapters of the Udarnavaga / Dhammapada concerning beauty, ethics, fine conduct, action, faith, the ordained and so forth.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The two texts His Holiness the Dalai Lama is to teach belong to the Six Major Texts of the Kadampa Tradition: the Jatakas and Udarnavaga (Dhammapada); Asanga&amp;#8217;s Bodhisattva Grounds and Maitreya&amp;#8217;s Ornament of Sutras; finally, Shantideva&amp;#8217;s Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life and Compendium of Trainings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness clarifies that his approach to presenting the Buddhadharma is first to describe its benefit and second how to put it into practice. All sentient beings yearn for happiness, but not all know how to achieve it. Clearly, material development counts for a lot, but not if it increases your anxiety. More important is having a calm mind. Recently doctors have demonstrated that medication alone does not affect a cure; calmness of mind also has a role to play. Cultivating love and affection, warm-heartedness in our relations with others is a source of inner calm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness contrasts religious views of a creator god, the self and so forth. Buddhism has no use for a creator god, seeing instead that everything is subject to dependent arising, the existence of causes and conditions. Likewise, the self does not exist the way it appears, that is, as a singular, independent entity apart from the body and mind. The self is described as a merely designation on the basis of these. With regard to the Four Noble Truths, the existence of suffering, its causes, of which ignorance is principal, its cessation and the path to that; it is clarified that whereas mind has no beginning or end, ignorance does have an end.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Summary of teachings on the Day of Offerings commemorating Buddha Shakyamuni&amp;#8217;s performance of miracles in the defeat of opponents at Shravasti and culmination of the Great Prayer Festival &amp;#8211; 21 February 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After participating in the bi-monthly monastic purification and confession ceremony with the assembled monks and nuns in the temple, His Holiness the Dalai Lama descends to the Thekchen Choeling garden. He explains the importance of the three higher trainings, in ethics, meditation and wisdom, to all schools of Buddhism; that ethics provides the foundation for developing meditative concentration and that that is employed to achieve insight into understanding of reality &amp;#8211; wisdom. He points out the importance of both compassion and wisdom and the conduct of the six perfections to practice of the great vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Collections of stories of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni&amp;#8217;s former lives, illustrating his exercise of the qualities of a bodhisattva, are found in all Buddhist traditions. The collection that His Holiness reads from was compiled by Ashvaghosha, who was an accomplished non-Buddhist polemicist early in his career, but was defeated and converted to Buddhism by Aryadeva. He is renowned for his poetry. The story His Holiness reads concerns the Buddhaï¿½s former life as a leader of fish. When drought threatened to dry up the lake in which the fish lived with his companions, he made a prayer that, by the power of the truth of the fact that he had harmed no other being for countless lives, it should rain and so save the fish. Rain soon fell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the benefit of those people who have come from Tibet to visit their relatives, but who cannot stay longer, His Holiness conducts the ceremony for generating the aspiring awakening mind. He concludes with a transmission of important mantras.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Nagarjuna's Bodhichitta Commentary; 05-October-2007 (Day 5 of 5) - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Some Madhyamikas, such as Kamalashilaï¿½s teacher, the great abbot Shantarakshita, accept the Cittamatrin presentation of the lack of external phenomena.  However, they further assert that the mind also lacks true existence and shares the deceptive, illusion-like qualities of externalities.  His Holiness explains the importance of the post-meditation practice of viewing all phenomena in daily life as illusion-like and how this practice will increase positive mental qualities such as compassion and bodhicitta while simultaneously decreasing the perceptions of independent existence (the grasping mind that generates afflictive emotions), and how to use this wisdom to complement the method practices of generosity, etc.  His Holiness discusses using the method path to complement meditations on emptiness; the short term benefits of bodhicitta practice; clairvoyance; the long-term project of gradually purifying and ripening through sustained effort.  He explains the five Bodhisattva paths in relation to the Heart Sutra dharani (gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi).  Turning to the Nagarjuna text, His Holiness discusses the highest school of Buddhist tenets, the Madhaymika Prasangika (Middle Way Consequentialist), and how the two extremes of nihilism and reification are avoided by seeing that ï¿½dependent origination is the meaning of emptiness.ï¿½   He explains that the Prasangika assertion that everything exists by mere imputation in dependence upon a basis of designation does not mean that everything merely imputed is existent, and he discusses the fallacies of a view known as ï¿½other emptiness.  Finally, His Holiness reviews stanzas 72-84 of Nagarjuna&amp;#8217;s Commentary on Bodhicitta as a preliminary to the ceremony for conferring the aspirational Bodhisattva vows.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The wisdom that understands emptiness through inferential cognition is gained without employing shamatha (calm abiding, single-pointed) meditation at the Bodhisattva path of preparation.  Advancement to the first arya ground of the path of seeing requires a direct, non-conceptual, transcendental experience of emptiness that is obtained through the union of shamatha and vipashyana (special insight) meditation.  His Holiness explains Kamalashilaï¿½s manual for developing this union:  why the union of shamatha and vipashyana is necessary, why shamatha is developed first, and why objects other than emptiness can never uproot the grasping at true existence that imprisons us in samsara.  He explains how to:  develop shamatha based on various objects (breath, Buddha image, conventional nature of the mind, tantric deity, etc.); begin the session (refuge, bodhicitta and the seven limb prayer); employ the correct physical posture; and identify and remedy excitement and laxity, the obstacles to fully qualified shamatha.  His Holiness explains the graduated presentation of the two selflessnesses (of persons and phenomena) by Shakyamuni Buddha to students able to understand the Vaibashika (Great Exposition), Sautrantrika (Sutra school) and Cittamatrin (Mind Only) views even though those presentations do not completely counteract grasping to true existence.  Then His Holiness turns to Nagarjunaï¿½s text and demonstrates how the second verse encapsulates the purport of the Buddhaï¿½s wisdom teaching in the Madhyamika (Middle Way) view that all existents in the universe (e.g., aggregates, sense powers, samsara, nirvana) are empty of inherent or true existence yet they do exist dependently through mere nominal designation.  In conclusion His Holiness emphasizes that the most important meditative practice is remembering the illusion-like nature of all phenomena and activities during the post-meditation periods.  Without this view of the illusion-like nature of all, our efforts to practice the Bodhisattva path are ï¿½afflictedï¿½ &amp;#8212; by grasping at truly existent sentient beings, we may even developed ï¿½afflictedï¿½ Bodhicitta.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness expounds on the causes and conditions required to attain Buddhahood as set out by Kamalashila:  the basis (nature of reality, the two truths), path (wisdom and method collections) and fruit (Buddha&amp;#8217;s truth and form bodies). Ultimate (i.e., final mode of things and events) truth is the mere negation of absolute reality, the one/same taste of all phenomena (not the source of phenomena).  Conventional truth is the dependently originated multiplicity of phenomena each of which is mentally imputed upon a basis that is other than itself.  The profound experience of dissolution (ultimate suchness) is generated by thorough critical analysis; not by faith, nor by hardheaded adherence to texts that cannot be taken literally.  The difficult paths of method (based upon conventional reality) and wisdom (the dissolution of all elaborations in the sphere of ultimate reality) that respectively give rise to the fruit of a Buddhaï¿½s form and truth bodies are driven by great compassion.  His Holiness presents interpretations of Buddhaï¿½s teachings on the Four Noble Truths respecting the basis, path and fruit.  As phenomena may be manifest, slightly hidden or extremely hidden to us, we need guidelines to assess the reliability of teachers.  One who possesses only wisdom attains only solitary peace, but one who possesses bodhicitta (a mind that cherishes others more than self), which transforms all practices into causes for inevitably attaining Buddhahood, will gain wisdom.  His Holiness explains the seed of bodhicitta, which is the biologically innate compassion (the love that binds social animals together); aspects of attachment and aversion required for biological survival; and tantric meditations that take anger (but not ill will) ï¿½into the pathï¿½.  His Holiness elaborates how wisdom can develop our inborn affection into great compassion and the genuine renunciation of bodhicitta.  He discusses aspects of cyclic existence: the continua of the physical world, the samsaric realms (in relation to levels of consciousness), human evolution, and the beginningless reincarnation of mental continua (versus causeless or random production of a first moment of mind).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness explains the four vehicles (the Human &amp;amp; Divine, Brahman, Sravaka/Hearer &amp;amp; Pratyekabuddha/Solitary Realizer, and Bodhisattva vehicles) to present a third interpretation of Nagarjunaï¿½s rendition of the Bodhisattva aspiration (to free, save, relieve and help all beings).  His Holiness notes that the union of no more learning stage of Buddhahood depends upon the subjective clear light which can only be attained through highest yoga tantra practices.  Turning to Kamalashila&amp;#8217;s text which sets out the prerequisites for calm abiding and special insight meditation on conventional Bodhicitta and the wisdom of Emptiness, His Holiness discusses the mental states that arise spontaneously (afflictive emotions which disturb the mind) to dominate our physical and verbal actions.  The foundation practice of Buddhism is to stop the seven naturally negative acts (because they cause harm) of body and speech by targeting the three mental delusions that trigger those seven:  covetousness, ill will, and wrong views concerning the consequences of actions. The root of all delusions and non-virtues (the mind grasping at true existence) must be thoroughly investigated. His Holiness explains how to identify the delusions as our true enemy and how to defeat them (by relying upon dependent origination and the law of causation to enhance the forces that counter the mental afflictions).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In introducing the Nagarjuna and Kamalashila texts, His Holiness discusses the etymology of Bodhicitta, noting that the Bodhisattva path relies on the analytical power of intelligence to transform the mind through purification of afflictions/obscurations and attainment of realizations of ultimate reality.  Nagarjuna&amp;#8217;s text is a commentary on a verse from the root tantra of Guhyasamaja: Devoid of all [substantive] entities; Utterly discarding all objects and subjects, Such as the aggregates, elements and sense fields; Due to sameness of selflessness of all phenomena, One&amp;#8217;s mind is primordially unborn; It is in the nature of emptiness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main subject of this tantric text is the meaning of the wisdom of ultimate Bodhicitta (the objective clear light) which in tantra is focused upon by the innate subtle meaning clear light mind, i.e., the tathagatagarbha, Buddha nature.  His Holiness analyzes the root verse with two methods for interpreting a tantric text set out in the Six Corners methodology.  By the common interpretation, the first line of the verse rejects the view asserting an eternal, unitary and independent self while the remaining lines refute mistaken views of the Buddhist tenet systems of Vaibashika/Great Exposition, Sautrantrika/Sutra School and Cittamatrin/Mind Only and assert the Madhyamika/Middle Way view that all phenomena equally lack true existence as they are merely posited by thought.  In the uncommon interpretation, emptiness also refers to the innate subtle meaning clear light mind freed of all grosser levels of mind and pollutants, so His Holiness explains two views of the changing nature of the tathagatagarbha.  The wisdom realizing emptiness is only ultimate Bodhicitta when conjoined with the conventional Bodhicitta that is set out in the second paragraph of Nagarjuna&amp;#8217;s text, which His Holiness explains through two interpretations of the awakening mind&amp;#8217;s aspirations to free, save, relieve, and help all sentient beings.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In the final teaching session, His Holiness alternates between English and Tibetan.   He explains that the wisdom of emptiness is an attribute of functioning phenomena, the corollary of dependent origination, and how a mind in profound meditation upon that valid wisdom breaks the Twelve Links of samsara&amp;#8217;s chains.  His Holiness expounds on the keys to practicing loving compassion and the marvelous qualities of bodhicitta.  He urges the students to recognize the errors of grasping at true existence and to counter those with the integrated practices of bodhicitta, wisdom and skillful means.  To foster enthusiastic practice, His Holiness explains the meaning of the lay vows and the tantra of the bodhisattva vows (Avalokiteshvara) to be conferred in the final session.  Since a special relationship is established by tantric initiation between the guru and disciples, His Holiness recounts the historical problems that exist today between the cult of Dogyal and the lineage of the Dalai Lamas.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In English, His Holiness answers audience questions addressing the situation of Tibet, goal of bodhicitta, nature of enlightened mind, future of the Dalai Lama institution, compatibility of Buddhist practices with theistic faith, universal purpose of human life, practice of patience towards harm-doers, subtle energy and mind, and the Heart Sutra mantra.    In commentary on the texts, His Holiness discusses incorrect assertions by Buddhist philosophers distinguishing the selflessnesses of the person and of phenomena (partless particles, lack of external phenomena, true existence of mind and ultimate truth).  He explains the differences within the Madhyamika school:  the Svatantrika (Autonomist) view of a subtle objective reality and the ultimate Prasangika (Consequentialist) view of dependent origination and emptiness that explains the functionality of merely nominated appearances.  The reasons that profound meditation on the wisdom of emptiness can sever the roots of samsara while even subtly incorrect views cannot are illustrated by the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination.  Returning to English, His Holiness discusses perspectives of science and Buddhism on aspects of consciousness related to origin, death and reincarnation.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In the Commentary on Bodhicitta, Nagarjuna addresses intelligent students who require evidence that enlightenment is possible before they can generate the awakening mind aspiring to benefit all beings.  His Holiness expands on the concise verses that set forth the Madhyamika (Middle Way tenet system) view of ultimate reality by addressing topics including the lack of an eternal, autonomous, unitary self (atman) and logical fallacies in assertions of ultimate truth presented in other Buddhist tenet systems (Vaibashika, Sautrantrika and Cittamatrin/Mind Only).   Kamalishila&amp;#8217;s Middling Stages of Meditation presents the method for transforming suffering into enlightenment by inducing direct meditative experience of the wisdom antidote to ignorance grasping at cyclic existence.  Commenting on this, His Holiness elaborates on topics such as:  types and methods of meditation, dependent origination, cause and effect, wisdom of ultimate reality, nature of mind, universal compassion, meditation on the Four Noble Truths, and cultivation of bodhicitta.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;As the students who requested these teachings are mainly English-speaking Buddhists from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia of Chinese descent, His Holiness spoke in English about his commitment to promote secular human values and religious harmony.  While positive mental attitudes can overcome physical suffering, material prosperity does not eliminate mental misery. The clash of opposing forces inherent in phenomena is the basis for transformation, and the first counterforce to mental suffering is compassionate loving kindness.  Biology, not religion, dictates our reliance on love and compassion.  Secular science, medicine and philosophy along with the major religious traditions can promote these human values to counter global and personal troubles.  For the individual, faith solely in one&amp;#8217;s own religion or truth is valid.  For the varied dispositions of the many, multiple expressions of truths are necessary. Respect for all the truths that promote human values is essential.  His Holiness then introduced analytical bases for Buddhist spiritual practice (the evolutionary law of causation and selflessness) and the authors of this teaching&amp;#8217;s subject texts, Nagarjuna and Kamalashila.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The one method that eliminates the afflictive defilements (rooted in ignorant grasping) and their respective karma is non-dual meditative concentration on the sole antidote, the wisdom of emptiness.  Buddha led disciples to that wisdom by teaching progressively subtler levels of selflessness, so only logical reasoning can determine which view is internally consistent and which leave residues of deceptive appearance.  All Buddhists accept the basic selflessness that is a lack of an autonomous substantial person.  Some hold emptiness to be the non-duality of subject and object, but cling to the true existence of mind.  Others assert that all phenomena lack true existence, being posited by non-deceptive subjective minds, but hold that mind to be findable on the basis of its own characteristics.  The true Middle Way propounds the harmony of emptiness (all phenomena lack even a slight degree of independent existence, leaving no ground for attachment and aversion) and dependent origination.  Since all phenomena are dependently originated (not objectively existent), all phenomena are empty (of intrinsic existence).  Being empty, no independent, self-characterized phenomena can be found; everything is dependently originated (implying a mode of existence).  Thus the two extremes of nihilism (nothing exists) and eternalism (something for self-grasping to hold) are easily avoided.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Bodhisattva Ethics commentary guides Bodhisattva vow-holders&amp;#8217; introspective examination of the thoughts, motivations and judgments underlying their activities.  The Bodhisattva vows should be studied and understood before they are taken (unlike self-liberation and tantric vows), so a detailed examination of their benefits, qualities and grounds for infractions along with detailed description of all aspects of the Bodhisattva vows ceremonies is given.

Being empty, no independent, self-characterized phenomena can be found; everything is dependently originated (implying a mode of existence). Thus the two extremes of nihilism (nothing exists) and eternalism (something for self-grasping to hold) are easily avoided. The Bodhisattva Ethics commentary guides Bodhisattva vow-holders&amp;#8217; introspective examination of the thoughts, motivations and judgments underlying their activities. The Bodhisattva vows should be studied and understood before they are taken (unlike self-liberation and tantric vows), so a detailed examination of their benefits, qualities and grounds for infractions along with detailed description of all aspects of the Bodhisattva vows ceremonies is given.</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>Dalai,Lama,Tibet,Tibetan,Buddhism,Buddhist,Doctrine,Buddhist,Philosophy,Tantra,Sutra,Buddha,Compassion,Avalokiteshvara,Chenrezig,Wisdom,Emptiness,Dependent,Arising</itunes:keywords></item>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;To summarize the path to Buddhahood: In the beginning, abandon the ten non-meritorious actions and gain favorable rebirth.  In the middle, abandon the self (end the afflictive obscurations and attain nirvana).  At the end, abandon everything (the subtle cognitive obscurations to omniscience); thereby traverse to enlightenment. By working for the final goal, the first and second aims are fulfilled.  Since the ten non-virtues are naturally harmful acts that produce suffering results, while virtuous acts are causes of happiness, even non-Buddhists profit from adopting these ethics.  For the survival of children, human biology dictates love.  All spiritual systems promote compassion.  But only Buddhism teaches that loving compassion, conjoined with discerning wisdom, can be expanded limitlessly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To develop the profound non-dual meditative focus on emptiness (the sole remedy for the afflictive defilements and cognitive obscurations) requires training beyond mere morality.  When studying the Bodhisattva ethics, do not become discouraged by the pure standards of practice; despondency impedes success in any undertaking.  Buddha Nature not the defiling obscurations is the true nature of mind.  Develop honest self-confidence based on this reality and inspired by the successes of the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas.  Study and train in the subtleties of Bodhisattva ethics to develop tenderness and patience for faulty beings; avoid defilement with mundane concerns and wrong livelihood; render assistance; relieve sorrows.  The sole attitude a Bodhisattva should cultivate is the determination to work for the welfare of sentient beings.  By dedicating every action done for their welfare, enormous virtue accrues.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Dependent origination is the essence treasure of Buddha&amp;#8217;s profound wisdom teachings. All phenomena arise relatively in dependence upon causality and imputation.  The sufferings of cyclic existence do not arise from tangibilities but from the three poisonous afflictions (contaminated, distorted minds).  The remedy lies in the ultimate nature of mind found through dependent origination.  While causes and results must be impermanent and composite in order to change and give rise to concomitant effects, even non-composite phenomena (such as the cessations of mental afflictions that lead to Nirvana) arise in dependence upon causality.  Hence, all dependently originated phenomena do not exist in the way they appear to us as objective, independent, substantial existents.  Understanding the dependent origination of imputation helps clarify this disparity between appearance and reality.  A deepening understanding of subtle dependent origination of causality and imputation leads to the emptiness of selflessness:  none of the elements composing a person is the &amp;#8220;self&amp;#8221; but a functioning self cannot be imputed separately from those elements.  Then all phenomena are seen as empty not existing objectively and independently but by way of dependent origination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Buddha taught vows for human beings seeking Self-Liberation (pratimoksha).  The practitioners who seek the Nirvana of Arhatship are known as Hearers (Sravakas) and Solitary-Realizers (Pratyekabuddhas).  Arhats realize the wisdoms of ultimate and conventional truth to eliminate their afflictive obscurations, but they do not complete the collections of merit required to eliminate the cognitive obscurations to the full enlightenment sought by Bodhisattvas.  A Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s dedication of all of resources and activities for the benefit of all beings enhances the meritorious force of their activities.  Self-Liberation vows, which last for a single lifetime, are the best basis for generating the Bodhisattva vows which are taken for this and all future lifetimes (in any realm) until the goal is achieved.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;During the last seven monsoon seasons, His Holiness has been conducting teachings for a large group of Taiwanese devotees.  Every session begins with prayers sung in Chinese.  To inaugurate this year&amp;#8217;s teachings, His Holiness concisely presented a comprehensive overview of Buddhist wisdom and practice based upon one of those prayers and upon the dharani-mantra of the Heart Sutra.  The Chinese prayer has been translated:May the three types of afflictive emotions be dispelled.  May genuine wisdom be born in us.  May all negative karma and obscurations be eliminated.  May we always be able to engage in the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s altruistic deeds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness then turned to Lama Tsongkhapa&amp;#8217;s commentary on the Ethics chapter of Arya Asanga&amp;#8217;s Bodhisattva Grounds.  The two aspects (wisdom and method) of Shakyamuni Buddhaï¿½s supreme teaching the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras were expounded upon by Nagarjuna and Asanga respectively.  Traditionally in Tibet and East Asia, some Mahayana practitioners have fallen into error by exclusively focusing on one portion of Buddha&amp;#8217;s teachings while neglecting equally important practices (e.g., meditation and study).  Tsongkhapa was inspired to compose this text on Bodhisattva Ethics in part by the mistaken view of some Tibetans that purely following the Bodhisattva vowed ethics is not essential in Tantrayana.  His Holiness advises that those who claim to be Buddhists need to develop three qualities equally:  21st century Buddhists must be learned in Buddhist teachings, ethically pure, and warm-hearted.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We all have the capacity to achieve complete perfect enlightenment; it requires clearing away the two obstructions, afflictive and cognitive, and the way to do this is by countering all wrong conceptions.  For this, we need to proceed through all the levels of the path: a bodhisattva first generates the aspiration to enlightenment and then trains in the view of emptiness by hearing, thinking and meditating, progressing through higher and higher levels of the path.  This teaching on Shantideva&amp;#8217;s Guide is an occasion of hearing the profound teachings on emptiness; the ninth chapter continues with expositions of the the establishment in mindfulness on the body, on feelings, on mind, on dependent origination and dependent designation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After concluding the 9th chapter, His Holiness has everyone in the audience read together through the 2nd chapter of Shantideva&amp;#8217;s text, and then kneel to take again the bodhisattva vows that were also given on the previous day as a part of the Avalokiteshvara empowerment.  His Holiness then concludes the text by reading through the chapter on dedication, which concludes with the verse that he has taken as his personal defining aspiration: &amp;#8220;As long as space endures, as long as sentient beings remain, so long may I remain, to clear away the sufferings of the world.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness then offers advice to all the audience to please contemplate the subject matter of the Guide, and especially to reflect on the 6th and 8th chapters, those on patience and meditation.  The 9th chapter, that on wisdom, also very important, should be studied in conjunction with Nagarjuna&amp;#8217;s Fundamental Wisdom and Chandrakirti&amp;#8217;s Supplement to the Middle Way as well as texts on Buddhist tenets.  His Holiness comments that although many people think that merely reciting mantras and prayers is sufficient Buddhist practice, in fact, one needs to study the principles of Buddhist philosophy and Buddhist practice, improve and develop ones understanding, and then implement this in one&amp;#8217;s life&amp;#8212;and this is true not just for monastics but for all who consider themselves Buddhist practitioners. Lastly, His Holiness explains the Three Essential Moments a pithy text by the Indian adept Mitra Yogi according to Gendun Gyatso, the 2nd Dalai Lamaï¿½s commentary.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In his Supplement to the Middle Way Chandrakirti says that having two wings of the two truths, conventional and ultimate truth, the king of swans soars to enlightenment. The awakening mind is the source of what we want. We can turn out minds to it by cultivating the wings of the two truths. His Holiness precedes the granting of the Avalokiteshvara empowerment with the bestowal of the Lay Precepts, the Upasika Vows. He points out that Buddhist vows are given in dependence on taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha and that the aspirants mind should be inclined towards liberation. Following the empowerment, he explains the Three Essential Moments a pithy text by the Indian adept Mitra Yogi according to Gendun Gyatso, the 2nd Dalai Lama&amp;#8217;s commentary. Chapter 9 of the Guide continues to examine the objections of the Mind Only school to the Middle Way presentation, refutes notions that the path understanding emptiness is of no benefit and establishes that the wisdom of emptiness is the true path to liberation. Shantideva presents reasons to establish the view of emptiness.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nagarjuna, is widely regarded as a second Buddha. Several years ago, His Holiness met an Indian scientist who told him that reading Nagarjuna&amp;#8217;s book Fundamental Wisdom he was proud to note the correspondence between his explanation of dependent arising and contemporary quantum theory. Those of us who follow Nagarjuna need to consider three points as themes of our practice, making effort in the awakening mind of bodhichitta, generating universal compassion wishing that all sentient beings be free from suffering and the wisdom understanding emptiness. Shantideva, author of the Guide, himself a follower of Nagarjuna explains that all happiness arises from cherishing others, and all misfortune comes from self-centrednesss. He portrays the fight with self-centredness as a dramatic struggle between the aspiring bodhisattva self and the old selfish self. His Holiness recalls that traditionally the Bodhisattvaï¿½s career takes three countless aeons, making the attempt to achieve Buddhahood in three years seem like ambitious propaganda.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness performs the preliminaries for an empowerment of Avaloliteshvara at the request of some Chinese. The practice derives from the Bhikshuni Palmo, which His Holiness received first from Tagdrag Rinpoche and again from Ling Rinpoche. He remarks that he may have recited&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Kadampa masters used to say that if you have contentment you are truly rich. If you are actually wealthy, but remain dissatisfied, you cannot really be described as rich at all. To counter the grasping that is the source of our problems we need to understand how things lack any intrinsic existence and generate the mind that cherishes others, which is the panacea for all our troubles. In all situations it is important to assess what needs to be done and whether or not you can do it. If you feel you cannot accomplish a task, don&amp;#8217;t begin, but if you feel you can, once you begin, don&amp;#8217;t give up. His Holiness says that in the late 60s he felt that realising emptiness and achieving the liberation of nirvana was within reach and would be like a long holiday, but when he thought about generating the awakening mind of bodhichitta, he realised that while it wasn&amp;#8217;t unattainable, it would take very long and applied effort. This is why Shantideva counsels us to detach ourselves from the childish and immature, who will only distract us from our course. Generating compassion and the awakening mind brings with it many advantages such as fearlessness and inner strength. Scientists have shown that when we generate compassion, we activate the left lobe of the brain, which is good for our physical health, whereas anger activates the right lobe, which is physically harmful to us and weakens our immune system.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

His Holiness says that in the late 60s he felt that realising emptiness and achieving the liberation of nirvana was within reach and would be like a long holiday, but when he thought about generating the awakening mind of bodhichitta, he realised that while it wasn&amp;#8217;t unattainable, it would take very long and applied effort. This is why Shantideva counsels us to detach ourselves from the childish and immature, who will only distract us from our course. Generating compassion and the awakening mind brings with it many advantages such as fearlessness and inner strength. Scientists have shown that when we generate compassion, we activate the left lobe of the brain, which is good for our physical health, whereas anger activates the right lobe, which is physically harmful to us and weakens our immune system.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:author>Casa Tibet Guatemala</itunes:author><itunes:summary>The Kadampa masters used to say that if you have contentment you are truly rich. If you are actually wealthy, but remain dissatisfied, you cannot really be described as rich at all. To counter the grasping that is the source of our problems we need to understand how things lack any intrinsic existence and generate the mind that cherishes others, which is the panacea for all our troubles.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The essence of Buddhist practice is to pacify and tame the mind. There are many remedies and antidotes to specific disturbing emotions, but what we really need is a realisation of the wisdom that counters the subtle misconception of self. This needs to be supported by a sense of renunciation and the awakening mind of bodhichitta. When it comes to anger, it is better to put a stop to it before it becomes fully blown. On the other hand not giving in to anger does not mean that we need to let ourselves be meekly walked over. Patience is the most powerful remedy to anger. Paradoxically we can only really develop it in the face of others&amp;#8217; hostility or aggression, which is why we should acknowledge the kindness of enemies. To the challenge that we need not appreciate this because the enemy has no intention to benefit us, Shantideva responds that the Dharma has no intention to help us either, and yet it does, and we revere it accordingly. His Holiness points out that chapters 6 &amp;amp; 8 of the Guide, Patience and Meditation present the essential practice of Bodhisattvas.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;One who has generated the awakening mind of bodhichitta is a bodhisattva. Generosity is a major part of the bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s way of life. A teacher&amp;#8217;s giving advice on subduing the disturbing emotions, on how to be less angry and more compassionate, is an example of generosity. Similarly, another example is the gift of fearlessness. His Holiness cites the work of various NGOs concerned with promoting world peace and others who focus on the protection of animals. Another contemporary example is the kindness of those who offer parts of their bodies, such as kidneys, corneas etc to relieve the sufferings of others. Although the Guide has no chapter on ethics, this is the focus of chapters 4 &amp;amp; 5 dealing with conscientiousness and alertness. What is crucial is to recognise that our real foe is our inner enemy, ignorance and the disturbing emotions. Ordinary enemies can only do us limited harm, whereas the inner enemy, disturbing emotions can trigger great danger now and in the future. Fortunately, it is a human characteristic to recognise, anticipate and forestall danger.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Commenting that we all want peace and happiness, but that we have to discover how to secure them, His Holiness advises that if we have calm minds we will be able to achieve all that we want. He resumes his discussion of Essence of Refined Gold, which lays out the stages of the path to enlightenment. Stating that it is important to choose a reliable teacher, he refers to the Sakya tradition of the four valid factors: the valid founder, valid commentaries, valid teacher and valid experience. The text explains how we can make our lives meaningful, extracting the essence from this life as a free and fortunate human being, by practising the paths of persons of the three capacities. Because death is certain, but its time is unpredictable, it is urgent that we consider what gives rise to favourable rebirth. Following the paths of persons of the three capacities, not only do we need to practise what the Buddha taught, but we need to practice it now. How do we do begin By identifying suffering and severing its causes, mindful that only an understanding of selflessness undermines the ignorance that is the root of suffering.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama begins his Spring teachings for 2007 by introducing the texts: Shantideva&amp;#8217;s Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life is one of the fundamental sources for instructions on how to generate the awakening mind of bodhichitta. It is held in equally high esteem by all four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment known as Essence of Refined Gold by Sonam Gyatso, the 3rd Dalai Lama also contains an account of how to generate the awakening mind and engage in the six perfections, while also outlining the structure of the path. His Holiness received a pivotal explanation of Shantidevaï¿½s text in the 60s from Khunnu Lama Rinpoche, Tenzin Gyaltsen, who had heard it from Dza Patrul Rinpoche. He also heard Essence of Refined Gold from another Kinnauri, Geshe Rigzin Tenpa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness reminds his listeners that the Buddha explained that suffering is the result of ignorance and will be overcome when ignorance is overcome by wisdom. As a mark of the importance of wisdom, he begins his explanation of the Guide with Chapter 9, the Wisdom chapter. Turning to the Essence of Refined Gold he discusses the qualities of a spiritual teacher, praising the example of a Lama called Namtso Ramjam, who made three pledges: not to eat meat, not to ride any animal and not to take any payment for any teaching he gave.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Jataka Tales; 3-March-2007 - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Traditionally, during the first month of the Tibetan New Year (Losar), a Great Prayer Festival (Monlam Chenmo) was celebrated in Lhasa.  On the final day, the Dalai Lama would give a public teaching.  The subject text was taken from the Jataka Tales, stories of Shakyamuni Buddha’s earlier lives as a Great Bodhisattva.   Following this tradition in Dharamsala, India, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama gave the teaching outdoors in a cold morning sun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The assembled devotees came from around the world.  Because many of the pilgrims from Tibet will be returning to their homes before the end of the 2007 Spring Teachings, His Holiness announced that this morning he would conduct the ceremony for taking the “Aspirational Bodhisattva Vows”.  To prepare the minds of the students for this ceremony, His Holiness gave a beautifully succinct overview of the theory and practice of Tibetan Buddhism.  Then he recounted the Jataka tale that follows the story told in 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That story seemed particularly relevant today.  In one of his lives as a Bodhisattva, Buddha Shakyamuni had been born as a King.  Because of his compassionate kindness, he was much beloved by his people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nonetheless, a time came when a prolonged drought caused great suffering.  This environmental disaster was the fruit of the collective karma of the people in his kingdom.  Their negative actions in former lives had produced catastrophic consequence.  To stop the drought, the King’s councilors advised making animal sacrifices to deities.  The King responded that if killing animals could end the drought, then human sacrifice should be even more effective.  He declared that from around the country, one thousand people who were engaged in harmful and wicked behavior should be identified and arrested for sacrifice.  In response, everyone abandoned even their petty negative deeds and strove to prove their virtuous character.  Thus, the karmic balance shifted and the rains came—through virtue; not by killing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then while conferring the Aspirational Bodhisattva Vows    His Holiness gave instructions on how to generate a mind aspiring to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.  And he pointed out that the desire to attain enlightenment is not an afflicted emotion like our everyday wishes to obtain love, wealth, or power.  Due to our ignorant perception we grossly exaggerate the desirable qualities of such objects so our successes are always mixed with suffering.  But the excellent qualities of enlightenment cannot be exaggerated.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, The 37 Practices of A Bodhisattva and Nagarjuna's The Fundamental Wisdom; 18-August-2006 (Day 5 of 5) - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s practice is to analyse your faults and then discard them. Observe your speech to ensure you don&amp;#8217;t say anything offensive. As Atisha remarked, &amp;#8220;In company examine your words; alone examine your mind.&amp;#8221; When afflictions and disturbing emotions arise, apply a remedy, otherwise they will multiply and become too powerful to counter. Put the fire out while it is small. To read and reflect on the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva now and then is very beneficial.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The wisdom chapter of the Guide is derived from the writings of Nagarjuna, Aryadeva and Chandrakirti, in addition to the collection of  the Perfection of  Wisdom Sutras.  The selflessness of phenomena is explained in relation to the four close placements of mindfulness. The body is viewed as unclean and impermanent. Feelings are viewed as momentary and unreliable. The mind is viewed as impermanent and therefore not the self, and phenomena comprising all mental factors are viewed as selfless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each of the parts comprising the self is unfindable in terms of intrinsic existence, and yet to say they do not exist would be a mistake too. Dependent on other factors and conditions, they are completely devoid of any independent nature, despite appearing so clearly and solidly. We conclude that they appear as mere designations of the mind. Convinced that there is no intrinsic existence is how we meditate on emptiness. Grasping at solid things is why we suffer. Reflecting on how all other beings do the same we generate compassion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness concludes the teachings with a tantric initiation and the comment that emptiness in the tantras is the same as that presented in the sutras. What is different, however, is the mind that understands it. Tantra employs the innate or primordial mind, not the ordinary mind, so we have to let the innate mind manifest and tantra provides various ways to do so.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In chapter 9 of the Guide debate continues between proponents of the Middle Way and the Realists. The Realists, who confound existence with inherent existence, ask, if nothing exists, what do we make of the Buddha, what is the purpose of making offerings etc. The Middle Way school answers that although things do not inherently exist, they do exist; they benefit others and so forth. The Mind Only school asserts that when something exists it does so merely by mental extension. There is no external existence, all is mind. Their grounds are that external phenomena can be analysed into parts, but because there is never a final constituent particle, the appearance of external existence is an illusion. The Middle Way counters that there is external existence on the level of mere designation. Things have no intrinsic existence, but they do exist externally. They challenge the Mind Only by asserting that just as external phenomena can be broken into parts, the mind can be divided and sub-divided into moments, therefore according to their terms it should not exist. They say that external things and the mind are equally non-existent in terms of intrinsic existence. The important point is made that, of course, emptiness too is empty of intrinsic existence. Emptiness is the remedy for the darkness of the afflictive and cognitive obscurations of the mind, so the question is posed, why would someone intent on achieving omniscience quickly not meditate on it?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, The 37 Practices of A Bodhisattva and Nagarjuna's The Fundamental Wisdom; 17-August-2006 (Day 4 of 5; Morning) - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life says that the Buddha reflected long and hard on what would be the best way to benefit sentient beings. He concluded that it was to develop the awakening mind of bodhichitta. He then strove to develop it and worked relentlessly for the welfare of sentient beings. Whether we follow the Pali or Sanskrit traditions of Buddhism our task is to develop the awakening mind. When we do so, we will find greater peace in our lives. Why is this? Because the stronger our sense of self-centredness the greater is our unease, whereas the more we are concerned about others, the more secure we feel. Self-centredness is the source of all downfalls; cherishing others is the source of all happiness and success. This is not only ethically sound, it accords with dependent arising.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the procedures outlined in the Guide for generating the aspiring awakening mind and then the Bodhisattva vow, His Holiness advises his listeners to visualise Buddha Shakyamuni before them encircled by the teachers of the various Buddhist lineages. Around themselves they visualise suffering sentient beings. His Holiness leads a recitation of chapters 2 &amp;amp; 3 of the Guideas preliminaries followed by the verses of aspiration and taking the Bodhisattva vow. He concludes by recommending that his listeners review and repeat this aspiration and vow whenever they can, remarking that he himself does so every day. The 37 Practices survey the six transcendent perfections, generosity, ethics, patience, joyful effort, meditation and wisdom that are the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s practice.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Initially the awakening mind of bodhichitta is aroused in meditation. But in the post meditative phase we may encounter opposing circumstances. Thogmey Sangpo explains how to transform these into factors that support our practice in the context of combatting the eight worldly concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Bodhisattva also meditates on the ultimate awakening mind. In actual meditation he or she focuses on space-like emptiness, but in the post-meditational phase the focus is on illusion-like emptiness. In his discussion of emptiness, Nagarjuna challenges his opponents. He says their presentation of emptiness does not fulfil its purpose, which is to eliminate the afflictive emotions. He accuses them of foisting faults on him that arise from their own misconceptions. However, the range of different views, such as the Middle Way and Mind Only schools derive from the teaching of the compassionate Buddha who taught, skilfully addressing his listeners&amp;#8217; different aptitudes. His Holiness praises the following verses for their essential meaning:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whatever is dependently arisen&lt;br /&gt;
That is explained to be emptiness.&lt;br /&gt;
That, being a dependent designation&lt;br /&gt;
Is itself the middle way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since there is no phenomenon&lt;br /&gt;
That is not dependently arising,&lt;br /&gt;
There is no phenomenon&lt;br /&gt;
That is not empty (of true existence).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We have the precious opportunity of having found this life as a free and fortunate human being at a time when the Buddha&amp;#8217;s teaching still exists. Nevertheless, we will die and when that happens the only help will be the imprint of the Dharma on our minds. The entry to the Dharma is taking refuge. Of the three sources of refuge, the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the actual refuge is the Dharma, defined as cessation or freedom from afflictive emotions and the state of realisation that brings that about. In the context of the law of causality a Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s practice never to commit an unwholesome deed. The aspiration for a better rebirth is something common among Buddhism and other faiths and is a means of overcoming the suffering of suffering and the suffering of change. However, seeking liberation from cyclic existence, characterised as it is by all pervasive suffering, is a Buddhist aspiration and a Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s practice. It is supported by the three transcendental trainings in ethics, meditative stabilisation and wisdom. Bodhisattvas generate the awakening mind that aspires to liberate all beings. They employ the seven point cause and effect instruction, or the means of exchanging self and others or the combined eleven-point meditation on generating the awakening mind.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Bodhisattva abandons the entanglements of homeland and seeks solitude. He or she seeks to uproot the four distorted views that see the unclean as clean, the fleeting as permanent, the miserable as happy and the selfless as intrinsically existent. Viewing the self as solid, lasting etc is the root affliction from which all disturbing emotions arise. Close as we are to our friends and possessions, at death we have to leave them. Therefore, it is the practice of a Bodhisattva to let go of this life. The true spiritual friend is one under whose influence your spiritual practice improves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Returning to Chapter 9 of the Guide there is debate between different views of reality; between the yogis who engage with the actual mode of being, and the common people who accept things as they appear; between proponents of the Middle Way and Realists. Followers of the Middle Way offer the challenge that their opponents fail to understand the purpose of emptiness, which is to undermine the afflictions and disturbing emotions. It is to uproot the four distorted views. His Holiness agrees with a listener that this is tough, exclaiming that he has spent many years grappling with the idea of emptiness. He says he doesn&amp;#8217;t claim to have realised it, but has got a whiff of it, just as you may catch the smell of a good meal without eating it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The principal point of Ngulchu Gyalsey Thogme Sangpo&amp;#8217;s 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva is to outline what needs to be put into action. It is not a text concerning mere intellectual understanding. The salutation is to the lama inseparable from Avalokiteshvara, who on the one hand embodies wisdom, seeing that all phenomena neither come nor go. On the other hand he embodies deep compassion for sentient beings seeking to overcome suffering. This compassion is not simply spontaneous, but the result of steady practice over 3 countless aeons. Buddhahood is achieved on the basis of causes and conditions. What are they? All sentient beings possess buddha nature or the primordial mind, but they need to follow a path to eliminate the defilements that obscure it. Path implies something that brings about change. It is because there is change that we can purify our minds. Just as with the opposing forces of hot and cold, if one increases, the other diminishes, so as virtue increases, unwholesome action declines. Life as a free and fortunate human being is precious because of the human capacity to analyse and act upon the conclusion&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Turning to Nagarjuna&amp;#8217;s Fundamental Wisdom His Holiness discusses the Two Truths, conventional and ultimate truth. He goes on to explain the Twelve Links of Dependent Arising, a clear presentation of how ignorance is the source of sentient beings being caught in cyclic existence. Action motivated by ignorance leads to suffering. However, the process can also be reversed, by coming to a proper understanding of reality ignorance is overcome and liberation achieved. With the end of ignorance, suffering ceases. Crucial to understanding reality is examining how the self appears to the mind. Does the self exist as it appears, complete, autonomous and so forth? On the other hand, if the self does not exist as it appears, what is the status of the phenomena that are its possessions? Nagarjuna asserts that the self exists, but the question is how it exists? He examines this in relation to the Buddha. Selflessness concerns the person&amp;#8217;s designation on the basis of the psycho-physical aggregates.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

He goes on to explain the Twelve Links of Dependent Arising, a clear presentation of how ignorance is the source of sentient beings being caught in cyclic existence. Action motivated by ignorance leads to suffering. However, the process can also be reversed, by coming to a proper understanding of reality ignorance is overcome and liberation achieved. With the end of ignorance, suffering ceases. Crucial to understanding reality is examining how the self appears to the mind. Does the self exist as it appears, complete, autonomous and so forth? On the other hand, if the self does not exist as it appears, what is the status of the phenomena that are its possessions? Nagarjuna asserts that the self exists, but the question is how it exists?

      <title>A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, The 37 Practices of A Bodhisattva and Nagarjuna's The Fundamental Wisdom; 14-August-2006 (Day 1 of 5; Morning) - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Following customary greetings His Holiness the Dalai Lama confirms that he intends to teach the 9th Chapter of Shantideva&amp;#8217;s Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life, certain chapters from Nagarjuna&amp;#8217;s Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way, and for the practical element, Thogme Sangpo&amp;#8217;s 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva. His Holiness clarifies that of the major religious traditions to have emerged over the last 3000 years, Buddhism is a tradition that employs reason to support faith. A key to this is that the happiness we seek is related to our understanding of reality, whereas all suffering is related to ignorance. He remarks that while the Buddha&amp;#8217;s teachings were preserved in India in the Pali and Sanskrit languages, both traditions were studied and preserved at Nalanda University and Tibet was heir to the Nalanda tradition. Although there were ancient links between Tibet and Korea, they lapsed, so it is encouraging that since the end of the last century they have been revived. The intent of these teachings on wisdom is to understand the disparity between appearance and reality.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Shantideva's Compendium of Precepts (Laptu) and A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life (Chod-jug); 24-Mar-2006  (Day 9 of 9; Afternoon) - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Today His Holiness started by reading from the 1,000 Songs of Milarepa.  In Milarepa&amp;#8217;s final instruction to Gompopa, he lifted his lower garment, exposing his bottom.  It was hard and calloused, from extensive sitting in meditation.  This means all instructions are to be used for meditation.  This final instruction from Milarepa is very moving for His Holiness.  In Japan, His Holiness saw the statue (on tour) of the Buddha during his six years of austerity and meditation.  Seeing this statue of the Buddha, emaciated and in deep concentration, was a true instruction for His Holiness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To meditate upon the instructions of the mind of enlightenment, we must do so in a very systematic way.  Eventually, the spontaneously arising mind of enlightenment will be achieved.  We need effort in order to cultivate bodhichitta.  For this, we need conviction.  And for this, we need to study the systematic instructions, from reliable texts, knowing the exact order of the instructions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using the Compendium, His Holiness then gave the ceremony of taking both the aspiring and engaging bodhichitta together.  To take this bodhichitta ceremony on a regular basis is so helpful, His Holiness emphasized.  Repeat the ritual one, three, or as many times as needed, in order to produce a moving experience within you.  When you feel that indeed I am now generating bodhichitta in order to benefit all beings, then take the bodhisattva vow. &lt;br /&gt;
Then His Holiness finished the transmission of both the Compendium and the Guide.&lt;br /&gt;
From chapter 10 of the Guide:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As long as space endures &lt;br /&gt;
And for as long as living beings remain,&lt;br /&gt;
May I too remain&lt;br /&gt;
To dispel the misery of the world.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Today His Holiness began by reading from the Songs of Milarepa.  He then began teaching the introduction to the ninth chapter on wisdom of the Guide.  As is said in the Heart Sutra, all the Buddhas of the past, present, and future achieved Enlightenment through following this same wisdom of emptiness.  The wisdom realizing emptiness is the only gateway to enlightenment.  Samsara arises from disturbing emotions.  Disturbing emotions arise from distorted thoughts.  Distorted thoughts arise from grasping onto intrinsic existence.  It is only the wisdom realizing emptiness which eradicates the grasping onto intrinsic existence, thus eliminating rebirth in samsara, and allowing for full enlightenment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to understand the subtle emptiness, one must understand the subtle dependent origination, that is, the dependent designation.  The understanding that all things exist through mere designation.  While as sentient beings, equipoise and the post equipoise states are sequential.  It is only when we are fully enlightened that they occur simultaneously.  Benefiting others is the motivation to seek enlightenment for all sentient beings.  So, bodhichitta, the mind of enlightenment, is the quintessential instruction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The enlightened state has access to all phenomena simultaneously.  Guhyasamaja tantra states that Buddhahood is not owned by someone else.  Therefore, it is not that someone else can bestow enlightenment upon you.  Rather, it comes through your own effort of meditating upon emptiness.  When we manifest the primordial clear light mind without wavering, that is enlightenment.  This is the most subtle mind, absorbed in emptiness.  Then His Holiness continued reading from the Compendium.  Following that, in less than a day, His Holiness completed teaching the ninth chapter on wisdom from the Guide.  What is reality?  Around 3000 years ago in India, some believed that the self was solid, and intrinsically existing.  Then came the Buddha.  He said that no such self existed.  If all things are empty of intrinsic existence, then why did the Buddha teach impermanence?  This was to gradually ripen beingsï¿½ minds to eventually understand the wisdom realizing emptiness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do we distinguish an illusory man from a man?  Neither exists at it appears.  That is, neither exists independently.  However, an illusory man is refuted by another valid mind.  Then how do we distinguish nominal existence (existing by mere name and thought), from non-existence?  For example, a snake versus a coiled rope perceived as a snake.  Again, they are equal in that both lack intrinsic existence.  But, the rope-snake is refuted by another valid cognition.  Not so for the snake.  It is only through deep reflection upon this dependent origination that we can understand dependent designation.  Everything, then, may appear like watching a movie, there is nothing solid there.  This is powerful equipment for reducing negativities, and enhancing positive qualities.  Dependent origination is praised as the kind of reasoning to establish the emptiness of intrinsic existence.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

As is said in the Heart Sutra, all the Buddhas of the past, present, and future achieved Enlightenment through following this same wisdom of emptiness. The wisdom realizing emptiness is the only gateway to enlightenment. Samsara arises from disturbing emotions. Disturbing emotions arise from distorted thoughts. Distorted thoughts arise from grasping onto intrinsic existence. It is only the wisdom realizing emptiness which eradicates the grasping onto intrinsic existence, thus eliminating rebirth in samsara, and allowing for full enlightenment. In order to understand the subtle emptiness, one must understand the subtle dependent origination, that is, the dependent designation. The understanding that all things exist through mere designation. While as sentient beings, equipoise and the post equipoise states are sequential. It is only when we are fully enlightened that they occur simultaneously. Benefiting others is the motivation to seek enlightenment for all sentient beings. So, bodhichitta, the mind of enlightenment, is the quintessential instruction. The enlightened state has access to all phenomena simultaneously. Guhyasamaja tantra states that Buddhahood is not owned by someone else. Therefore, it is not that someone else can bestow enlightenment upon you. Rather, it comes through your own effort of meditating upon emptiness. When we manifest the primordial clear light mind without wavering, that is enlightenment. This is the most subtle mind, absorbed in emptiness. Then His Holiness continued reading from the Compendium. Following that, in less than a day, His Holiness completed teaching the ninth chapter on wisdom from the Guide. What is reality? Around 3000 years ago in India, some believed that the self was solid, and intrinsically existing. Then came the Buddha. He said that no such self existed. If all things are empty of intrinsic existence, then why did the Buddha teach impermanence? This was to gradually ripen beingsï¿½ minds to eventually understand the wisdom realizing emptiness. How do we distinguish an illusory man from a man? Neither exists at it appears. That is, neither exists independently. However, an illusory man is refuted by another valid mind. Then how do we distinguish nominal existence (existing by mere name and thought), from non-existence? For example, a snake versus a coiled rope perceived as a snake. Again, they are equal in that both lack intrinsic existence. But, the rope-snake is refuted by another valid cognition. Not so for the snake. It is only through deep reflection upon this dependent origination that we can understand dependent designation. Everything, then, may appear like watching a movie, there is nothing solid there. This is powerful equipment for reducing negativities, and enhancing positive qualities. Dependent origination is praised as the kind of reasoning to establish the emptiness of intrinsic existence.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:author>Casa Tibet Guatemala</itunes:author><itunes:summary>Today His Holiness began by reading from the Songs of Milarepa.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Commenting on Shantideva&amp;#8217;s exhaustive exposition of the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s way of life in the Guide and the Compendium, His Holiness observed that a Bodhisattva responds even to an enemy with nothing but compassion. The awakening mind of bodhichitta arouses delight in whoever comes across someone who has cultivated it. What&amp;#8217;s more His Holiness explains, compassion and love are necessary for our very survival. He offered the example of children. Those who meet with compassionate teachers tend to succeed in their studies. Those who grow up in compassionate families become mature and balanced adults. Coming from a loving environment children can meet any challenge. On the other hand those who grow up without love and compassion in their environment are unable to relate intimately and affectionately with others, which predisposes them to later bouts of loneliness. This is why living beings need love and compassion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness extolled the awakening mind as the most perfect mental faculty, perfect for helping other beings. He repeated that everyone pays respect to those in whom the awakening mind is present and that the Buddhas are pleased. Shantideva&amp;#8217;s advice for developing it also explains how to cultivate single-pointed meditation with clarity and alertness, free from distractions and thoughts of desire. As Milarepa&amp;#8217;s biography shows, to achieve this it is an advantage to remain in solitude.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Citing Je Tsongkhapa, His Holiness pointed out that if we do not recognise that we experience suffering or that its causes are the disturbing emotions, we will not attempt to put an end to them. Without a wish to be free, we will not try to transcend suffering. As long as disturbing emotions afflicts us, they will give rise to yet more disturbing emotions. Even this life as a free and fortunate human being, which affords us great opportunities for change, is derived from disturbing emotions as the twelve links of dependent arising make clear. However, the subtlest mind has not been afflicted by them, nor has it been defiled by them. From this we can conclude that disturbing emotions can be overcome and we can become free. This is the essence of Buddhist practice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said that the awakening mind that is an aspiration for enlightenment and for the fulfilment of others&amp;#8217; interests is enhanced by great compassion. To really generate compassion we need to focus on the subtlest of the three aspects of suffering, all-pervasive suffering, the predisposition of living beings to be under the sway of disturbing emotions and negative thoughts that mean they continually encounter suffering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When reading about Patience in the Guide, His Holiness spoke of a man he met in Northern Ireland who had been shot and blinded who, completely without animosity to his assailant, displayed the kind of forbearing patience to which Shantideva refers.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Prior to his reading of Shantideva&amp;#8217;s texts, His Holiness focussed on causality, the functioning of cause and effect. He distinguished two aspects: karma and natural law. Dependence on causes and conditions is a natural law. However, when thought and motivation are present, as is the case with the actions of sentient beings, karma comes about. Karmic actions are positive if they give rise to benefit and happiness and negative when instead they disturb other beings. His Holiness clarified that karma is complex and can be discussed in great detail, but only a Buddha understands its subtlest ramifications. He stressed that what is important in practice for monks, nuns and lay people alike, is to avoid doing the ten unwholesome actions. Among these wrong view is particularly powerful. If, however, we take the Buddhist concept of dependent arising into account we will view our situation and conduct more holistically. We will consider the consequences and implications of our actions before we do them. On the other hand, we may also appreciate that sometimes it is wise to undergo a small suffering if doing so will allay a greater pain.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

He stressed that what is important in practice for monks, nuns and lay people alike, is to avoid doing the ten unwholesome actions. Among these wrong view is particularly powerful. If, however, we take the Buddhist concept of dependent arising into account we will view our situation and conduct more holistically. We will consider the consequences and implications of our actions before we do them. On the other hand, we may also appreciate that sometimes it is wise to undergo a small suffering if doing so will allay a greater pain.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama opened by saying that the mind has an aptitude for change. This is why it is important that we try to take advantage of our opportunity and work to transform our minds. Everyone experiences a wish for happiness and dislikes being unhappy. Unhappiness results from having an undisciplined mind, but the mere presence of knowledge does not rectify this. Our distorted view of reality is countered by thinking about aspects of wisdom, such as impermanence, the nature of suffering, selflessness, and the peace that is liberation. Our lack of warm-heartedness is countered by positive emotions such as love and compassion. Disturbing emotions are the source of our problems and they arise because of ignorance. We need wisdom, an understanding of reality to counter ignorance. As a basis for wisdom, we need concentration and the foundation of that is discipline. His Holiness commented that the Compendium&amp;#8217;s approach to ethical discipline is more from a protective point of view, whereas in the Guide the focus is more on personal improvement. Alertness or awareness is the key to making progress in this.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama began his teaching today with the remark that all composite things are produced from causes. Everything comes into being in dependence on other things. The desirable that we want, as well as the undesirable that we do not want, come about in dependence on causes. The Buddha revealed the causes of suffering in detail and made clear that if we eliminate them we will achieve peace. The principal causes of suffering and unhappiness are disturbing emotions. The task of spiritual practice is to counter them by training the mind. The experienced meditator empties the mind and abides in the present moment so the natural clarity and luminosity of the mind emerges. His Holiness commented that, while neuroscientists have achieved profound knowledge of the workings of the brain, reducing the workings of the mind only to a function of the brain does not account for all our experience. His reading of the Compendium of Trainings contained advice on avoiding unwholesome actions and the dire consequences of not doing so. For the Bodhisattva the practice of virtuous conduct and the cultivation of the mind in meditation are mutually sustaining.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness began the morning session by resuming his reading of the 100,000 Songs of Milarepa, Tibet&amp;#8217;s renowned yogi and poet, that he began two years ago. He said that he received the lineage of the Songs and Milarepa&amp;#8217;s Biography from Trulshik Rinpoche and is now trying to pass them on. He then continued his reading of the Compendium of Trainings. He reminded listeners that for Buddhists the source of refuge and inspiration is the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. With regard to the practice of generosity, His Holiness commented that giving things away may not be easy to begin with, but if you start gradually it becomes easier. The text spoke of the practice of giving away one&amp;#8217;s body, as the Bodhisattva Sadaprarudita is described as wishing to do, in the 8000 Verse Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, in order to honour his teacher, Dharmodgata. His Holiness remarked that a proper Buddhist teacher should have some appreciation of the view of dependent arising and that a Mahayana teacher should have an understanding of the awakening mind of bodhichitta. The remainder of the session focussed on avoiding mistaken conduct that is contrary to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s way of life.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama began his Spring teachings today, embarking on a reading of two works by the great Indian scholar and adept Shantideva, Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life (Bodhisattvacharyavatara) and Compendium of Trainings (Shiksha Samucchaya).

      <title>Bodhisattva's Way of Life: 30-June-2006 (Day 7 of 7; Afternoon) - Dalai Lama Audio Teachings on Tibetan Buddhism Podcast</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama begins the morning by bestowing the Bodhisattva vows. Once we have determined to cultivate Bodhichitta and do the Bodhisattva deeds it is appropriate to take at least the vows of aspiring Bodhichitta but today His Holiness bestows the vows of engaging Bodhichitta as well. The method is to recite three times verses 23 and 24 from Chapter 3. The assembly recites Shantideva&amp;#8217;s seven-limb prayer, the whole of Chapters 2 and 3 as an accompaniment to the ceremony.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next His Holiness returns to the method of actually developing Bodhichitta. Mantra and recitations are not enough. We must study Shantideva&amp;#8217;s ingenious and varied arguments and take to heart his rousing appeals and completely reverse our ordinary attitude of putting ourselves before others. His Holiness gives an intriguing glimpse of his own lifelong endeavor to understand emptiness and generate Bodhichitta and the sequence in which they struck home in him. With manifest deep feeling he definitively sets forth the key paradox, that cherishing ourselves is the gateway to everything undesired. Cherishing others instead not only works for other&amp;#8217;s welfare but quickly fulfils our own purposes too. We achieve Buddhahood in no other way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Bodhichitta His Holiness has so far concentrated on is conventional Bodhichitta. The Mahabodhisattvas who directly engage in clearing the obstructions to liberation and to omniscience away from their minds forever do so by applying the direct antidote of ultimate Bodhichitta, which is the non-dual wisdom of emptiness enhanced by the conventional Bodhichitta wish for enlightenment for the sake of all. His Holiness distills the essence of the ninth wisdom chapter in a succinct and effortlessly authoritative presentation of how all phenomena are dependently arisen, empty of inherent existence, mere dependently imputed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness brings the week&amp;#8217;s uncommon glimpse into the radiant heart of conventional and ultimate Bodhichitta  to a close by reciting the last Dedication chapter of Shantideva&amp;#8217;s Guide.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama reflects on the connotations of the Sanskrit word Dharma holding, protecting and the equivalent Tibetan term chos bringing about transformation. Major religions such as Christianity speak of the protection afforded by closeness to a creator god while scientists see transformation mainly in physical terms, so Buddhist notions of protection and transformation are seen to be fruitfully different from those of either theistic religion or materialistic science.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness then concludes his reading of the chapter on enthusiastic perseverance. In the presence of His Holiness and listening to Shantideva&amp;#8217;s radiant speech the heroic Bodhisattva enterprise is no longer something far-off and improbably exalted. It becomes something assured, manifest to our eyes and ears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The profounder factors that complete the Bodhisattva ideal are still to be detailed however. Chapter 8, Meditative Concentration, begins with the call to single-pointed concentration. To achieve this state of blissful mental intensity all samsaric indulgences must be withdrawn from and foregone, His Holiness warns, as he gives his personal meditational instructions. With the mind in this serviceable state the actual stages of meditation on compassion and Bodhichitta can begin. The first is equalizing self and others.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>Compassion, Bodhichitta and the wisdom realizing dependent arising and emptiness: In a brief introduction to the day&amp;#8217;s teachings His Holiness the Dalai Lama highlights these three indispensable elements of the path to enlightenment, rarely presented so vividly and persuasively as in the &amp;#8220;Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life&amp;#8221;.
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness concludes Chapter 5, the chapter on patience. Anger perpetuates the cycle of violence and suffering. The practice of patience does not consist in weakly giving in to oppression but in that which squarely opposes the chief oppressor, our own anger. In Chapter 6, on enthusiastic perseverance, the obstacle is laziness, the laziness of idleness, the laziness of being distracted by the mean and trivial and lastly the laziness of putting oneself down.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Maitreya in the &amp;#8220;Sublime Continuum&amp;#8221; and Nagarjuna in the &amp;#8220;Praise to Suchness&amp;#8221; both make the challenging assertion that primordial wisdom is present within delusion. Thus His Holiness the Dalai Lam begins his discussion of the clear light level of mind. The clear light nature is the subtlest possible level of mind. His Holiness details some of the ygic feats someone with access to this level of mind is capable of. It is what transforms into the enlightened omniscient consciousness and it fashions the body of subtle form we will also have on the Buddha ground. To actualize the Buddha potential within most of us need to follow a gradual approach beginning with study of texts such as the &amp;#8220;Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness returns to the theme of vigilance which is the subject of Chapter 5. Constant alertness is needed to subdue the wild elephant of the mind and to train it in the ways of Bodhichitta. Then His Holiness brings us to the challenge of dealing with the great enemy of our own anger. This is the subject of Chapter 6, The Patience chapter, a radical tour de force in which Shantideva shows how external enemies and the situations that provoke our anger are a Bodhisattva&amp;quot;s best teachers, exposing the reality of ego-clinging like no other&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In his preliminary remark His Holiness the Dalai Lama first draws attention to the multiplicity of levels and varieties of teachings within Buddhism itself and identifies the qualities they share with other worthy religions and paths of practice that have appeared in the world. Then His Holiness shows what sets Buddhism apart from those other paths, its rejection of a self-sufficient, independent self, and then he demonstrates just how the wisdom of selflessness, applied to persons and objects alike, will eradicate not just a portion, but the whole spectrum of the disturbing emotions of attachment and aversion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Presenting the remaining verses of Chapter 3 His Holiness whole heartedly endorses Shantideva&amp;#8217;s commitment to Bodhichitta as the supreme method for arousing conducive factors and eliminating hindrances for ourselves and others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generating Bodhichitta is a daunting task but we have the precious opportunity here and now. When shall we have it again? To remain any longer under the sway of the disturbing emotions is a terrible fate. Shantideva&amp;#8217;s eloquent reasoning in Chapter 4 and the first movement of Chapter 5 and His Holiness&amp;#8217;s unassuming example of what it is to vanquish the self are a uniquely inspiring and compelling combination.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In the morning&amp;#8217;s introductory remarks His Holiness touches on the themes of impermanence and the non-material nature of the mind. How is it that all things are continually passing away in a ceaseless flux? From where does the ever-transforming stream of mind emerge? He reminds us that all suffering arises from self-grasping ignorance. We oppose that ignorance with the twin essentials of the path, the wisdom of dependent arising and compassion. Since the full practice of one needs an understanding of the other which should be taught first?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Returning to Shantideva&amp;#8217;s opening chapter extolling the all-encompassing meritorious power of Bodhichitta, with heartfelt emotion His Holiness contrasts the destructive effects of self-obsession with the unlimited benefits of the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s main practice of cherishing others. He then illuminates Shantideva&amp;#8217;s extended version of the seven-limb prayer with its stark description in the confession section of the predicament of one who remains stuck in the pain and stupidity of self-grasping.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

His Holiness the Dalai Lama begins his explanation of Shantideva&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life&amp;#8221; by stressing the virtuous power of Bodhichitta, the mind seeking Buddhahood for the sake of all creatures. It is the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s defining qualityand the entrance to the great path to enlightenment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before turning to Shantideva&amp;#8217;s text His Holiness dwells on the dependently arisen nature of our happiness and suffering, showing by way of Buddha&amp;#8217;s basic teaching of the four noble truths how both of them are produced from causes under our control. By awakening from ignorance to wisdom we can abandon behavior that leads to more dissatisfaction and cultivate the path that leads to stable and abiding happiness. Having found that path we can then develop the compassionate and joyful determination to show it to our brother and sister sentient beings. But, urges His Holiness, a human birth is rare and brief. It must be put to the best use now, without delay or procrastination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Holiness extols the &amp;#8220;Guide to the Bodhisattva&amp;#8217;s Way of Life&amp;#8221; as an inspiring condensed presentation of the way to our highest state of evolution unequalled in India or Tibet. He explores the text as far as verse 14, commenting on the title, the salutation, the promise of composition, the purpose of composing and, in the body of the text, entering on Shantideva&amp;#8217;s eloquent preliminary praises of the precious Bodhichitta.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
