“Om Mani Padme Hung”
Compassion… What have you done for anything/anyone else lately?
It’s so hard to not be twisted and tied up in life these days as a lot of us are trying to survive. But in that exhausting feat of survival i dare each of you to live.

Karandavyuha Sutra definition
The first known description of the mantra appears in the Karandavyuha Sutra (Chinese: 佛說大乘莊嚴寶王經 (Taisho Tripitaka 1050); English: Buddha speaks Mahayana Sublime Treasure King Sutra), which is part of certain Mahayana canons such as the Tibetan. In this sutra,Shakyamuni Buddha states, "This is the most beneficial mantra. Even I made this aspiration to all the million Buddhas and subsequently received this teaching from Buddha Amitabha."

I came across this while reading my “Finding the Buddha Within” book by Lama Surya Das. He speaks about our paths and how sometimes you simply can not ignore your calling as a being connected to this earth. At some point we all must unite with the clarity of life and walk our paths…
I especially love this chant.
Time to go to sleep! Good night.

LSD is a womanizer and phony… he carry’s out sexual misconduct w/his female students while married, he lost 90% of his sangha, his wife divorced him, and ALL 3 of his associate teachers resigned, ALL of the now defunct Dzogchen Foundation’s board members also resigned as well… LSD is now of FB and Twitter trying to recruit new FOOLS! WAKE UP, DAS IS A CHARLATAN! Forget about what he writes LOOK AT HIS ACTIONS… they will REVEAL the TRUTH about the FAKE hiding behind the MASK of LAMA!
