Limitless Buddhist Multiverse — Limitless You: Flower Garland Sutra and ultimate Buddhism: is-ness, thus-ness, all-ness
The multiverse is far larger than Buddhism, Hinduism, Quantuum realities — and Marvel Comic books. Tathata, literally, is bigger than all of these. The multiverse is, literally, as stated in the Suttas — “limitless.” “There are innumerable universes besides this one, and although they are unlimitedly large, they move about like atoms in You. Therefore […]
Destroyer of Death Yamantaka: Buffalo-headed Vajrabhairava, supremely wrathful Yidam manifestation of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom
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 […]
This Week’s Featured Video: 21 Praises to Tara in English with Tara’s mantra — for the benefit of all beings!
Tibetan Buddhists often start and end their days with the 21 Praises to Tara — the Mother of All the Buddhas. Tara, who represents the activity of all the Buddhas is the fastest, surest way to bring blessings into our lives. Singing the praise to the 21 aspects of Tara helps us tap into the […]
Video: Vajrakilaya Buddha documentary: cutting the 3 poisons with the sharpest weapon, plus chanted mantras
Why is wrathful Buddha Vajrakilaya, described by Garchen Rinpoche as “the mind of great love?” Can such a ferocious embodiment of Enlightenment really calm the mind and tame our obstacles, both external and internal? Why is Vajrakilaya — also called Vajrakumara — considered the activity of all the Buddhas? Come along with us now as […]
Dana, power of giving — a beggar offers the clothes off her own back to the Buddha and becomes a goddess
One of the most moving stories of generosity is found within the cycle of sutta stories featuring “The Great Benefactor” Anathapindika. Anathapindika, who was very wealthy, remains one of the most recognizable from Buddhist stories. He famously donated Jetavana park, where Buddha and his followers spent the rainy seasons in practice. While Anathanpindika was a […]
Power of dana and generosity “within our means” — the Sutta stories of Anathapindika, who gave Buddha Jetavana park
Anathapindika is famous for his supreme generosity. He is the benefactor immortalized through his gift of Jetavana park — used in rainy seasons throughout the centuries by Buddhist monks for retreat. This great feat of generosity cost him “enough gold to cover the entire park” — a staggering fortune. Although he gave less proportionately than […]

Why Dhamma (Dharma) is the most important of the Three Jewels: “The Dhamma is our arbitrator” — Ananada in the Gopaka Moggallana Sutta
One of the most unique and captivating of Pali Suttas actually records events after Buddha passed away. Why, then, if Buddha is not teaching, is this interesting? Aside from the fascinating historical perspective, it carries a vey profound and important message: The Dhamma is our arbitrator. Often, we hear modern-day teachers say, “We take refuge […]
Lama to All — Jetsunma Tamdrin Wangmo (1836–96) — biographical chapter from The Sakya Jetsunmas: The Hidden World of Tibetan Female Lamas
“Extraordinary” hardly seems an adequate label for the historical lives of the great Tibetan Buddhist Female Lamas of the Sakya lineage. These were highly realized teachers, known not only for wisdom, but for “activities” and “accomplishments.” Elisabeth Benard’s highly readable account of the female lamas of Tibet — The Sakya Jetsunmas: The Hidden World of […]
“The Sakya Jetsumas — The Hidden World of Tibetan Female Lamas” — spiritual biographies of the great female meditation masters
There can be no doubt of the vast contribution of the great female wisdom masters of Tibetan Buddhism, yet with the notable exception of Yeshe Togyal and Machig Labdron, there are precious few stories of their lives. Elisabeth Benard, Ph.D., set out to explore the secret world of the great meditation masters of the Sakya […]
“I Meet the Buddha” — Chapter excerpt from “Pilgrim Maya” a Buddhist “pilgrim” quest that ends in “nothing” — a novel by Bela Breslau and Stephen Billias
In Pilgrim Maya, we start with the ending. Or, rather, when we asked for permission to excerpt, we received the final chapter — that tells you some of what you need to know about this fascinating novel by Bela Breslau and Stephen Billias. Very Zen is our pilgrim, as is clear from their one-sentence synopsis: […]
