Heartfelt Dharma Aspiration Prayer
As you may know, Khenpo has recently requested that all Sanghas and individual students practice the newly composed prayer, Heartfelt Dharma Aspiration Prayer for the Dzogchen Lineage Internship as much as possible between now and the beginning of the Internship in July 2008. There are three important times Rinpoche has requested we practice this prayer:
- Daily, on an individual basis, of which we recommend 15 minutes or so of the Main Prayer, and the Supplemental section when time and positive conditions permit.
- Weekly, with your Sangha, whenever you get together for practice.
- Lastly, on the full moon. Try to plan accordingly within your Sangha and get together to practice for all beings!
Khenpo has stressed that for the benefit of all beings it is imperative we generate the positive energy necessary to organize and plan a successful six-month Dzogchen Lineage Internship. Without such success, it will be much more difficult to train teachers for this world and preserve the Buddha’s teachings. We therefore encourage you to practice this prayer, the "Preliminary Practice" in The Buddha Path, and Visualization of Buddha Shakyamuni as much as possible for the benefit of all beings! Always know that your positive practice is the root of all beneficial activities and the root of world peace!
We rejoice in your good practice!
Namo Buddhaya!
