Current teaching – Jorchoe

Published

on

We are currently on the 5th of the preparatory practices. Over the next 2 sessions Geshe la will go over cause and effect, as this is an important prerequisite for understanding this part of Jorchoe

  1. Purifying the space and setting up the representations of body, speech & mind of Buddha. This involves cleaning the altar room, setting up the altar, etc. which will be a very auspicious beginning.
  2. Arranging the offerings
  3. Resting in 7-point Vairochana’s equipoise, setting motivation, taking refuge and arousing bodhicitta
  4. Visualizing the merit field
  5. Accumulating merit and purifying misdeeds through the seven-limb prayer and offering mandala
  6. Requesting inspiration through prayers

  • Tibetan word of the day: ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    co-operating conditions

    Spelling (jorlok; Tib. སྦྱོར་ཀློག་) and pronunciation:
    ལྷན་ – la ha-tak hla na hlen
    ཅིག་ – ca gigu ci ga cig (chik)
    བྱེད་ – ba ya-tak ja drengbu je da je
    པའི་ – pa a gigu i pe
    རྐྱེན་ – ra ka-tak ka ya-tak kya drengbu kye na kyen
    hlen chik je pe kyen

    From class, we discussed results that do and don’t use the
    co-operating conditions of soil and water, such as a tree and fire, respectively.

    Geshe la encourages us to learn Tibetan to help gain deeper
    understanding of the teachings, and gain access to prayers and rituals that have not been translated. The Tibetan word of the day is offered to give regular exposure to Tibetan reading and vocabulary.
