HAPPY HERUKA DAY!

Today we celebrate our good fortune to have the Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Buddha Heruka in our world! Join us at 3p today for a special Offering to the Spiritual Guide to celebrate!

The following is an extract from the book Essence of Vajrayana by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Buddha Vajradhara, Buddha Shakyamuni, and Buddha Heruka are the same person, differing only in aspect. When Buddha turned the Wheel of Dharma of Sutra he appeared in the form of an ordained person, when he turned the Wheel of Dharma of Tantra in general he appeared in the form of Vajradhara, and when he turned the Wheel of Dharma of Heruka Tantra in particular he appeared in the form of Heruka.

Heruka is Buddha’s mind of compassion manifested as form. Only Buddhas have the ability to display their minds as form. We sentient beings are unable to do this because our mind and body are different natures, but a Buddha’s mind and body are the same nature and so wherever their mind goes their body goes too. We always perceive a gap between our mind and its object. This is a mistaken perception, or mistaken appearance. Having completely abandoned this mistaken perception, Buddhas have the ability to display their mind as form, such as the forms of living beings and inanimate objects. For this reason it is said that Buddhas’ emanations pervade the whole universe.

How lucky we are to have the Highest Yoga Tantric quick path to enlightenment in our world! ❤️❤️❤️ #enlightenment #highestyogatantra #geshekelsanggyatso #thankyou

HOW TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE
WITH KADAM LUCY & KADAM KYLE
A Course on Emptiness and the 3 Types of Bodhichitta

In a world of so much conflict and strife, how can we really help? With wisdom understanding the emptiness of our self, we are empowered to relate to a new and confident version of our self – as a Bodhisattva rather than a helpless cog, as a friend of the world. On the basis of this meaningful and inspiring self-image, we find ourselves in the ideal position to help others in a deep and sustained way.

A Bodhisattva understands that their liberation is tied up with the liberation of everyone else. Their incredible flexibility of mind allows them to shapeshift and adjust their approach to whatever best suits others. Approaching life through 3 different modalities – king-like, shepherd-like, and boatman-like bodhichitta – we can see how best to be of service in different situations, sometimes as a strong, confident guide and leader, sometimes as a servant, and sometimes as a team player.

We are delighted that Kadam Lucy and Kadam Kyle have agreed to teach a course together on this subject! They will guide us through a practical and accessible journey into the emptiness of the self, how we can improve our self-image into that of a Bodhisattva, and how wisdom and compassion synergize in the three bodhichittas, giving us the real ability to make a difference.

There will also be a Q and A session with them.

Everyone welcome!
