Tibetan Prayer Flags

Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols,
invocations, prayers, and mantras.
Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags
outside their homes and places of spiritual practice
for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside.
Prayer flags are said to bring happiness,
long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.

i think of love as the highest the holyest action
the most elevated language
the highest form of energy ...
Love vibrates rapidly powerfully shapes the invironment
If there is love and peace at home
. it is like heaven ,Love has no blame but to recognise
the light in each other . It can transform the madness and
insanity of the world .
The whole world is hungry for one drop ...
Open your heart send out unconditionaleternal pure love
become an ocean of love ..... love brings PEACE ....

Namkhyen Gyaldar - The Dream Flag of HH16 Karmapa

http://www.dharma-haven.org/flag.gif

'Namkyen Gyaldar' means the 'Victorious Flag of Buddha's Wisdom'. It is the manifestation of the supreme Enlightened vision of HH 16th Karmapa. HH prophesised that this flag will bring immense benefits to the Dharma as well as all sentient beings.

The sky blue colour represents the complete and profound Wisdom of the inner realisation of the Buddha. The yellow colour on the flag represents the complete Wisdom of limitless Compassion which bestows benefits on all sentient beings and phenomena. The wavy line and the joining of the yellow and blue colours signify the inseperability of these two Wisdoms.

What is praised is one, so the praise is one too,
many jugs being poured

into a huge basin. All religions, all this singing,
one song.

The differences are just illusion and vanity. Sunlight
looks slightly different

on this wall than it does on that wall and a lot different
on this other one, but

it is still one light. We have borrowed these clothes, these
time-and-space personalities,

from a light, and when we praise, we pour them back in.

Let the rain come and wash away
the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds
held and nurtured over generations.
Let the rain wash away the memory
of the hurt, the neglect.
Then let the sun come out and
fill the sky with rainbows.
Let the warmth of the sun heal us
wherever we are broken.
Let it burn away the fog so that
we can see each other clearly.
So that we can see beyond labels,
beyond accents, gender or skin color.
Let the warmth and brightness
of the sun melt our selfishness.
So that we can share the joys and
feel the sorrows of our neighbors.
And let the light of the sun
be so strong that we will see all
people as our neighbors.
Let the earth, nourished by rain,
bring forth flowers
to surround us with beauty.
And let the mountains teach our hearts
to reach upward to heaven.

Amen.

There must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors,

Eternal Spirit, Father Mother God, I seek thy Presence
I close the door of my outer senses to enter into thy temple, the temple of my heart, and in the stillness of the spirit I worship thee, Creator Lord
I aspire in thankfulness, praying for understanding of life's experiences, and of the laws of the spiritual universe
My mind is open to truth....
My heart is full of love towards every creature
May thy spirit lead me to the centre of harmony, to the life of harmony, in which is perfect health and holiness

Blessed are the Peacemakers

Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:

YouTube - The Beautiful Tibet - 美丽的西藏 - Tibetan Song




My message is the practice of compassion, love, and kindness.
Compassion can be put into practice if one recognizes the fact
that every human being is a member of humanity and
the human family regardless of differences in religion, culture, color, and creed.
Deep down there is no difference."

"We should try never to let our happy frame of mind be disturbed.
Whether we are suffering at present or have suffered in the past,
there is no reason to be unhappy. If we can remedy it, why be unhappy?
And if we cannot, what use is there in being depressed about it?
That just adds more unhappiness and does no good at all."

"By developing a sense of respect for others and a concern for their welfare,
we reduce our own selfishness, which is the source of all problems,
and enhance our sense of kindness which is a natural source of goodness."

"This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness."

...His holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso

[lightbeing]

Creator, open our hearts
to peace and healing between all people.

Creator, open our hearts
to provide and protect for all children of the earth.

Creator, open our hearts
to respect for the earth, and all the gifts of the earth.

Creator, open our hearts
to end exclusion, violence, and fear among all.

Thank-you for the gifts of this day and every day.

Now I am experiencing
the Clear Light of objective reality.
Nothing is happening,
nothing ever has happened or ever will happen.
My present sense of self, the voyager,
is in reality the void itself,
having no qualities or characteristics.
I remember myself as the voyager,
whose deepest nature is the Clear Light itself;
I am one; there is no other.
I am the voidness of the void, the eternal unborn,
the uncreated, neither real nor unreal.
All that I have been conscious of is my own
play of consciousness, a dance of light,
the swirling patterns of light in infinite extension,
endless endlessness,
the Absolute beyond change, existence, reality.
I, the voyager, am inseparable from the Clear Light;
I cannot be born, die, exist, or change.
I know now that this is my true nature.

The earth is full of your goodness,

How wonderful are the lights that you created.
You formed them with strength and power
and they shine very wonderfully on the world,
magnificent in their splendour.
They arise in radiance and go down in joy.
Reverently they fulfill your divine will.
They are tributes to your name
as they exalt your sovereign rule in song.

SEARCH THE DARKNESS

Sit with your friends; don't go back to sleep.
Don't sink like a fish to the bottom of the sea.

Surge like an ocean,
don't scatter yourself like a storm.

Life's waters flow from darkness.
Search the darkness, don't run from it.

Night travelers are full of light,
and you are, too; don't leave this companionship.

Be a wakeful candle in a golden dish,
don't slip into the dirt like quicksilver.

The moon appears for night travelers,
be watchful when the moon is full.

I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge. -

And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.

And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.
You would know in words that
which you have always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.

And it is well you should.
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs
rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths
would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge
with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

Say not, "I have found the truth"
but rather, "I have found a truth."
Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."
Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

For there exists a great and boundless realm,
