128 | One Taste

Exploring the mind in Mahamudra practice brings us increased intimacy with its qualities as we practice, experience, and realize the Four Yogas of Mahamudra.

Lamas Yeshe & Zopa describe the Yoga of One Taste, the practice, meditative experience, and realization of wholness, unity, complementarity of all things in emptiness.

Contemplate quotes about One Taste and follow a guided meditation to connect with the essence of all experience, inseparable from experience and experiencer.

The Lamp Prayer recited during the meditation portion of this episode is available here including Tibetan pronunciation and English text. https://www.prajnafire.com/sparks-songs

This is the English text for ease of reference:

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

115 | Being True

115 | Being True

As Prajna Sparks Podcast celebrates our third anniversary this summer, we honor three years together with you with rebroadcasts of the most popular episodes of the last three years.

This Friday, close on the heels of today's new moon, Tibetan Buddhists celebrate Chokor Duchen, the holiday commemorating the Buddha's first public discourse, relating the Four Truths of Noble Beings. And this Sunday, July 23, 2021, marks Prajna Spark's podcast's third anniversary.

What better topic, to cap off our rebroadcast of popular episodes from the last three years together than what it means to Be True in the context of the Buddha's teaching?

Read the English translation of the Wheel of Dharma Sutra online.

These six episodes together form a concise introduction to Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practice.

Revisit the highlights of Prajna Sparks and check in on how beautifully you have integrated the Buddhadharma during our time together.

And most importantly, thanks so much for your support, and for listening, contemplating, and meditating along with us.

114 | Got Faith?

As Prajna Sparks Podcast celebrates our third anniversary this summer, we honor three years together with you with rebroadcasts of the most popular episodes of the last three years.

In the midst of the sacred time in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar between the holidays commemorating the Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment and his first public discourse, when we recall and reflect on his seven weeks of solitary solitude near the bodhi tree, in the forest along the Niranjana River, we offer this consideration of Faith.

What is faith? Do I have to turn in my intelligence if I have some? And how do I get me some, exactly?

Revisit the highlights of Prajna Sparks and check in on how beautifully you have integrated the Buddhadharma during our time together.

And most importantly, thanks so much for your support, and for listening, contemplating, and meditating along with us.
