Vajrayogini, enlightened wisdom queen, leads us to bliss, clear light and emptiness, despite modern obstacles
Vajrayogini has been called the “Buddha for our times.” Many of the great Mahasiddhas, such as Naropa, attained realizations through her practice. There’s an old Tibetan saying: “Practicing any Buddha is practicing all Buddhas.” The great Atisha, when he first came to Tibet, was horrified to find Tibetans practicing many deities at once. He admonished […]

True Dragons: Shakyamuni, Tara and Avalokiteshvara’s close relationship with Nagas and Dragons: and “Tale of the True Dragon”
In Zen-Chan Buddhism, the “Tale of the True Dragon” is used by teachers to illustrate the importance of true practice over entirely intellectual study. Imagine waking one morning to find a dragon “coiled by [your] bed, its scales and teeth glittering in the moonlight.”[5] Would you scream in terror or embrace the opportunity to learn? […]

How do you know that your practice is effective, that you’re “meditating correctly?” By Beth Rush Managing Editor, BodyMind.com The answer is implicit in the question. […]

“Tara is the mother of all the Buddhas; when you practice Tara you become closer to Tara; you feel her motherly love. If Tara is good enough to be the mother of all the Buddhas, then she can certainly become a great mother to you, taking you into her loving care.” — Venerable Zasep Rinpoche […]
Zen Buddhism and Western Philosophy: Snow globes and mind of winter; logic and wisdom; noumenon and phenomenon

When the snow settles, we see the scene again with […]
