Supporting Member Ad-Free Video: Destroyer of Death Yamantaka: supremely wrathful Yidam manifestation of Manjushri
Death itself is conquered by this towering, wrathful deity, Yamantaka. Conquering death, and the cycle of samsaric suffering, is at the very heart of Buddhism. As the “death destroyer” Yamantaka symbolizes this aspiration, and his meditational deity practice is designed to achieve that goal. No deity is more misunderstood than the buffalo-headed deity Vajrabhairava. Wrathful […]
11 essential subjects for meditation according to The Sutra on the Eight Realizations
The vital importance of awareness of impermanence, the nature of suffering, attachment, dissatisfaction, ignorance and laziness are emphasized by the Buddha in the short Sutra on the Eight Realizations (full translation below with some of the commentary by Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh.) The Sutra on the Eight Realizations is one of the most important of […]
Sutra in Forty-Two Sections — excerpts of timeless wisdom and practice advice from the World Honoured One
This sutra contains many favorite gems: “You should be mindful of the four elements within the body. Though each has a name, none of them is the self. Since they are not the self, they are like an illusion.” “When you see someone who is practicing giving, aid him joyfully, and you will obtain vast […]
Smorgasbord Vajrayana: visualizing countless mandalas — exploring the vast universe filled with Buddhas
It can seem like Vajrayana’s approach to visualizing countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is a smorgasbord approach to Buddhism. This isn’t as terrible a metaphor as it seems. For people with different tastes, a single menu meal may not be appetizing; the smorgasbord assures that everyone has something to “eat.” The “food” in this case is […]
Does Meditation Really Impact Heart Health? What Research Shows
Several studies indicate that meditation helps various conditions. Doctors often recommend guided meditation for heart health as a supportive treatment. Although meditation is renowned for its stress-reducing benefits, some experts suggest it can also impact heart health. By Beth Rush Managing Editor, BodyMind.com What Does Research Say About Meditation and Heart Health? Stress impacts people […]
Unconditional Compassion: The Crux of Shantideva’s Interpretation of Karma Theory
Editors Note: This editorial is an op-ed of the authors. Karma can be a difficult concept. As pointed out in this op-ed, karma is not a simple cause-effect formula or a matter of “justice.” Justice and karma are not the same thing, as eloquently pointed out by the authors. By Payal Seth and […]

Transforming all ten poisons with the skillful psychology of Buddhist Vajrayana — the creative approach to practice
The symbolism of Vajrayana spans every facet of life — and imagination — from the mundane, to love-making, to demon-slaying, to wrathful conquering. Every aspect of practice is expressed in visualization — in the vast expanse of imagination — rather than as two-dimensional words on a page. The element of the practice is to involve […]
No time for Buddhist practice? You have time for mantra, don’t you? Mantra — a complete practice
There are times when daily life conspires to push aside our good intentions to meditate, or to make offerings to the Three Jewels, or — for some of us — fulfil our daily commitment to practice sadhana. Concerned that I wasn’t fulfilling my practice commitment, I once asked my teacher what to do at these […]

We answer these questions and more in this short, informative presentation on the ultimate […]
Gautama Buddha survived several attempts on his life. What does his life example teach us about impermanence, and preparing for death
Gautama Buddha survived several attempts on his life, more than once from his cousin Devadatta, once from a mass murderer Angulimara — who later became a disciple after he failed — and finally the Enlightened One passed into Nirvana when he ate tainted food given to him as alms by follower Cunda. His greatest concern, […]
