Amitabha practice craving transformed into Hotel Dieu observations

In tantric practice of the Buddha Amitabha is essentially a practical approach to transforming our craving. Craving burning very powerful life. We desire everything in this life, such as love of money, greed, taking sharp, greedy, taking enjoyment ... it's called greed. Greed is needed to be transformed. Just metabolism rather than eliminate them. If you remove them, you will become dry, lack of energy, such as a directory tree. Therefore, we need to practice Amitabha converting craving. This is the skillful means of Vajrayana, did not see mentioned in the previous two factors. This is also a feature of Vajrayana than two vehicles above.

I want to share more about the metabolic craving. If eliminates craving, you will no longer want to help people interested, saving sentient beings, do not want to practice Bodhicharyavatara. Thus, eliminating the craving is not the appropriate method. Thus, craving to be transformed and used in the right way. Currently we can not change the craving, because we do not have the blessing of Amitabha, Germany Guan Yin, or Gautama Buddha, should craving leads to endless suffering and trouble. Therefore a lot of other religions for that craving is very bad, need to remove them, but actually craving inoperable, which need to transform and use a genuine way. When I say use a genuine way, actually not that simple. Speaking quite easy but then embarked on the practice is not easy. I would say that we need to transform the intellectual craving.

For example, anger needs to be transformed into Hotel Dieu observed, according to the list of the world called intelligence. Without this kind of wisdom, you will become stupid. Craving also needs to be transformed into wisdom. What will happen when converted into intellectual craving? Meanwhile, we will control and use it, support for good purposes, to the benefit to the cause of liberation of saving sentient beings. That will happen when we are transformed into intellectual craving. If not metabolize them, we will not have a chance, totally enslaved to craving and will generate a lot of karma by craving have dominated us a perverted way. Also, even though we know anger is bad, but because there is metabolized it should be led. We scream beat and extremely aggressive. But we know is bad no other choice, when there is a transformation, thanks to the practice is no longer angry guided, otherwise we control and master them. At this time, there is anger like a king and us as slaves, emotions like anger directing us to create a lot of unwholesome, it dominates our entire life. Not only anger, but sexual desire, jealousy, ignorance are the rulers of our lives. So our whole life becomes false. Therefore, we need to learn how to identify, control, metabolism and mastering negative emotions.

Thus the practice of Vajrayana emphasizes transformation, not the suppression or raise them. We need to transform the emotions, so this practice is not an object of worship or something else that is the process of transformation of negative emotions. Through this process, we aim meaningful transformation of his life to practice the virtue of Bodhisattvas benefit yourself and others, it also approved the issuance Bodhicitta we cultivate love and transform negative emotions into wisdom. Example craving Yew transformed into observation position, anger turned into University Park scenery, ignorance transformed into dharmadhatu can calculate position ..., a lot of wisdom in the background of consciousness. Thus it can be said the practice of Vajrayana is a very effective means to help us transform suffering in a positive way.

Buddhas are the manifestations of our mind

A great teacher said: All living beings are Buddha traditionally, this has also been mentioned Shakyamuni Buddha. He also taught that: Samsara or Nirvana is only a matter of ignorance or intellectual. Ignorance is Reincarnation, Wisdom is Nirvana. Shakyamuni Buddha taught this very clearly. Vajrayana also says: Intellectual capital is available from without beginning, but we did not realize, not realizations, should be used the wrong way to greed, anger, jealousy, and led to countless suffering oil. So we need to transform into wisdom. Intellectual capital traditionally available, which is the essence of the Vajrayana. In Vajrayana believe: We can cultivate their own inner Buddha, can create happiness for yourself, do not need to depend on any external something else. Even the Lord Buddha also said: do not rely on him.

As Vajrayana practitioners, we need to believe that everything can be created from within ourselves, because we make everything. When the craving is dominant, we create unwholesome or wholesome. So we can convert itself, to make the peace and happiness for yourself. We can avoid the human suffering alone, that's our confidence in. Along with such confidence, the practice of Vajrayana us with the visualizations. There are many types of visualizations such as visualizing Amitabha, Avalokitesvara, Padmasambhava. Very different visualizations ways, many different languages ​​Legs, many different publications indenture, many different body postures. The old man sitting posture called the posture of Germany Pi Lo Price Na, so there are hundreds of different techniques, but the techniques are necessary to sustain us in our heart metabolism.

In Theravada Buddhism alone just mention Buddha Sakyamuni, in Mahayana Buddhism Sakyamuni outside, while referring to the five Buddhas of the three or the Buddhas and bodhisattvas lot. In tantric also not only that, but also a wealth of different Buddhas, like the Buddha in the female form, the male form, countless bodhisattvas as Daka, Dakini, Yogi, Yogini ... By because according to the Vajrayana, each individual has all kinds of different emotions, sorrow, a lot of different aspects of the mind such as anger, desire, ... every aspect of the mind, the nature are Tathāgata. We have thousands of aspects of the mind, so there are thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in various forms. Each object he can be for us contemplation meditation. One of the physical body he can have blue, green, red ... Or him in the form of anger, gentleness. All these are forms symbolize aspects of our own mind, rather than any one else on the outside.

Mandala Buddha Amitabha

You can see in Vajrayana Dharma Protector Mahakala with the extremely indignant appearance and body in black color. If you call Him Buddha make unbelievable, because he looked very indignant, very dark and very angry. So those who do not understand the Vajrayana can not believe that he is a Buddha. Or talk about Germany Quan, who in the Mahayana tradition, he was called Bodhisattva because people do not believe that a Buddha can have thousand hands thousand eyes. They think that a Buddha has only two hands eyes like Buddha Shakyamuni. Vajrayana is also in countless different Buddhas. Mahakala protector is also a Buddha, Passport France Mahakali is also a Buddha or Green Tara, White Tara, Diamond Pig ... all His form are Buddhist. He can stay in the posture dance Diamond, relatives of his identity can gray, black, blue ... Why so? Because he symbolizes the transformation of negative emotions in our minds. These emotions always motivates us in a state of equilibrium of the anger, desire ... but the nature of emotions that can calculate and form of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is the projection of your own mind. Like when you are angry, the bad face, happy face when you look radiant fresh joy when your face looks sad gloomily heavy ... All the faces that are a reflection of your mind. So we need to understand all the Buddhas, are all manifestations of our mind. There are many tantric practitioners do not know, they do not understand the fact that the Buddha as Mahakala, Mahakali, Green Tara, White Tara ... are a reflection of their own mind. Although the practice of Vajrayana but they do not understand the meaning of Vajrayana. Regrettably the tantric practice, they look at the Buddha and said that he is the devil. This is a type of extremely dangerous practice, quite wrong. We need to understand that the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas is the embodiment or a reflection of the different kinds of emotions in our minds. So the Buddha Sakyamuni wants us to practice different means, to transform every aspect of the intellectual center of enlightenment.

The respected German Vajrapani Vajrapani

There may be some doubts that: Why should a practitioner practice is Mahakala practice, or the practice of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, the religious version different? The answer is very simple as I mentioned before. We wanted to transform your mind, through the practice of the transformation will happen, when the transformation takes place, then that is enlightenment. This awakening to enlightenment contract mentioned in Theravada or Mahayana, is the only other media. Vajrayana emphasizes our transformation into a Buddhist center through direct means of Buddha Amitabha.

Theravada Buddhist ideology that we must eliminate all negativity, the newly manifest wisdom. Vajrayana views took it a little different by addressing the direct conversion of afflictions into Bodhi mind. This is the crux of the Vajrayana. No need to give up the body, we can transform the human body Buddha himself. No need to flee the worldly tone, we can transform them into thousands of different melodies mantra. Through the mantras we transform into border-gate of the Buddha's enlightenment. So in Vajrayana there are three types of metabolism: Body metabolism, metabolic Export, metabolic Italy. But perspective skillful means Vajrayana has more special, but you need to remember the Three Thua Buddhist nature not different because both have the same purpose as enlightened Buddha nature in himself.

In Vajrayana you can see the object, different icons. For example, baseball diamonds or diamond components, are icons with its own symbolic meaning, Baseball Diamond stated represents supplemental energy, Spirit raised diamond represents motherhood energy, both energy this was in our minds from without beginning; is fundamental arise all kinds of emotions. Fundamentals whole of our lives, the lives of our potential as supplemental energy and motherhood. Linh and Chay is a symbol of the two types of energy. The use of two gas law has many meanings to help you learn about meditation, and meditation guide your focus on mental state, or focus on the Buddha's path without evil astray. Gradually, you will be both energy balance and your practice will achieve perfection. You will be able to eliminate these obstacles and attain enlightenment. Thus, in a Tantric ritual, we use musical instruments to aid meditation, not for fun under the lyrical and melodic.
