В Калмыкии, ее столице Элисте была проведена мистерия Цам – традиционный буддийский ритуал, гармонизирующий состояние местности и присутствующих там людей. Особенность этого варианта мистерии Цам в том, что танец начинается с выхода духов–спутников...

знает ли кто психотерапевта хорошего в санкт-петербурге? желательно буддиста.

I found a great zen center in my new neighborhood in Saint Paul and it got me meditating on a regular basis. I feel like there's more time in my day and like I make better use of it. I like how the meditation tries to sort of peer through the illusion of thought and see the world for what it really is.

Do any of you practice meditation regularly? What do you think of zen buddhism and how it compares to other branches of the Buddha's teaching?

Gasan instructed his adherents one day: "Those who speak against killing and who desire to spare the lives of all conscious beings are right. It is good to protect even animals and insects. But what about those persons who kill time, what about those who are destroying wealth, and those who destroy political economy? We should not overlook them. Furthermore, what of the one who preaches without enlightenment? He is killing Buddhism."

Самадхи – это состояние собранности и однонаправленности ума, которое достигается посредством сосредоточения внимания на каком-то объекте. Этим объектом может быть дыхание, изображение и т.д.

Узнав об этом документальном фильме как всегда случайно, я захотел его найти. Нашёл только на торрентах. Но оттуда очень медленно качается, поэтому терпеливо скачав таки его, решил выложить на narod.yandex. Так что вот ссылка: http://narod.ru/disk/22161720000/CBC%20The%20Blue%20Buddha%20-%20Lost%20Secrets%20of%20Tibetan%20Medicine%20Nature%20of%20Things.avi.html

Описания давать не буду, итак понятно о чем. Лишь отмечу, что большую часть времени уделяется Бурятии и конкретно ламе Тувану.
Но начинается всё конечно с Тибета и с истории и акцент ставится именно на неразрывную связь буддийской духовной практики с практикой врачевания.

Также этот фильм есть и онлайн: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1663719623619744115# . Там очень удобный просмотр.

Извините, если это уже было.

Рекомендовал своим знакомым этот интересный фильм, и обнаружил, что яндекс его не находит в рунете. Исправляем эту оплошность. Фильм обязателен к просмотру, также как "Цена бифштекса" и ряд других познавательных фильмов для борца за осознание.

русский перевод "Випассана в индийских тюрьмах"


Випассана - буддийская техника медитации, по преданию данная самим Буддой Гаутамой. Она и по сей день является главной практикой южного буддизма (школа Тхеравада).

В Индии Випассана преподается в тюрьмах с 70-yх годов.  Документальный фильм-призер «Doing Time, Doing Vipassana» рассказывает как уникальная жещина Киран Беди, главный инспектор тюрьмы в Дели, в 1994 году представила технику Випассаны в Центральной Тюрьме Тихара - одного из самых крупных и суровых мест заключения в Индии.

Горы всегда были признаком чего-то духовного или возвышенного. Достаточно отправиться в тур в какую-нибудь горную страну, и стразу становится понятно, почему многие практики медитации уходили в горы.

To a novice Western practitioner of the Buddhist faith, the first glimpse of wrathful deities can cause uncertain judgment amongst the practitioner. Without proper education and insight the western mind could perceive this as invitation into occult paraphernalia.

Wrathful deities are dark, ugly, and terrifying. Their imagery are composed to "scare" bad or negative influences. The manifestation of wrathful deities are to serve and protect the Buddhist faith. Wrathful deities are often the liberation of Hindu gods and goddesses.

People ask why wrathful deities are usually black or other fierce hues. The hues represent the colors of the universe. Black, being the ultimate absence and true color of emptiness.

Lets take a look into the wrathful deity Vajrabhairava. Vajrabhairava is dark, ugly, has a devilish apperance, and has death all around him.

In Tibetan Buddhist practices, there are three main forms of (Vajrabhairava) Yamantaka – the red Yamantaka, Ratktaymari, the black Yamantaka, Krishnayamari, and the Vajrabhairava, the Diamond Terrifier. (http://www.exoticindiaart.com/product/TK74/)

According to the popular version of the mythological origins of Yama (the god of death), a holy man was once told that if he spent fifty years living in deep meditation in a cave, he would reach enlightenment. On the night of the twenty-ninth day of the eleventh month of the forty-ninth year, two robbers entered his cave with a stolen bull whose head they proceeded to cut off. When they realized that the hermit had witnessed their act, they decided to kill him. He begged them to spare his life, explaining that in a few minutes he would reach enlightenment and that all his efforts would be lost if they killed him before the expiration of the fifty years. The thieves ignored his request and cut off his head. Immediately, he assumed the ferocious form of Yama and put the bull's head on his own headless body. He then killed the two robbers and drank their blood from cups made from their skulls. In his fury, he threatened to destroy the entire population of Tibet. The Tibetan people appealed to the deity Manjushri (the Bodhisattva of wisdom), to protect them from Yama. Manjushri then assumed the form of Yamantaka , defeated Yama, and turned him into a protector of Buddhism, in order to save the people. (http://www.exoticindiaart.com/product/TI10/)

Vajrabhairava/Yamantaka is the wrathful manifestation of bodhisattva Manjushri, the essence of the wisdom of all Buddhas. The term 'Yamantaka' means one who puts an end to Yama. In Buddhist pantheon 'Yama' is the lord of Death and 'antaka' means one who ends. Thus Yamantaka means one who ends death. Yamantaka is the secret terror so that the no one ever betrays the precepts of Shakyamuni Buddha. Yamantaka is the fusion of two aspects – the blessed aspect and the irate aspect – the emanation of the double aspect of Manjushri. He is so fierce as to destroy all forces contrary to Dharma. He is thus a god of redemption, one who fights against evil and triumphs. (http://www.exoticindiaart.com/product/TN27/)

Yamantaka is also known as Vajrabhairava, 'Adamantine Anger'. It is said that this form of Yamantaka has associations with the Brahmanical deity Mahabhairava, a special form of lord Shiva, who in this form destroys the universe at the end of the eon. The Buddhist Yamantaka tantras combine aspects of both deities (Yama and Shiva) into the cult of Vajrabhairava-Yamantaka, in Tibetan Buddhism. (http://www.exoticindiaart.com/product/TN27/)

The present form of Yamantaka is called Yamantaka Ekavira, Ekavira means, 'solitary hero', in this form Yamantaka does not embrace his consort. Yellow complexioned Yamantaka Ekavira has nine faces, three on each side of the main head and one above it, each with three eyes. The main head is that of a fierce buffalo with horns. The topmost head is of Manjushri. The eight wrathful heads wear skull crowns, and their hair rises upwards, signifying the deity's enlightenment. Yamantaka wears an elephant-skin cloak, a garland of freshly cut human heads, and bone ornaments. He is naked except for his adornments. He is naked except for his adornments. He is naked except for his adornments. He has thirty-four arms. The two main arms hold a cranium and vajra marked chopper. His remaining hands hold tantra symbols. His each arm with attributes fights for his devotees to evil beings. Yamantaka has sixteen legs, eight on each side. Lying face down under his bent right legs are one human male and six animals that one human male and six animals that are, in turn, stepping on four devas. Under his outstretched left legs, eight birds are also stepping on four devas. There is wisdom fire aureole behind him. (http://www.exoticindiaart.com/product/TN27/)

People ask why do Hindu gods want to become liberated through Buddhism? I don't really hold the answer to this question. From my studies, I can assume that Hindu gods want to attain liberation from samsara.

The tantra to vajrabhairava is:

ya ma r¯
a ja sa d¯
a me ya ya me d¯
a sa ja r¯
a ma ya/
ya da yo ni ra pa ks.e pa pa ks.e pa ra ni yo da ya
(http://www.scribd.com/doc/17113013/G-Buhnemann-I-Buddhist-Deites-and-Mantras-in-the-Hindu-Tantras Pg.315)

Are wrathful deities evil? Not at all!
Are the demonic? Not at all!
Are they compassionate? Yes!
Do the serve and protect the Buddhist faith? Yes!

Enjoy!

I wrote a little story about my trip to India last year, particularly Vulture Peak. Read it here.

The Buddha would like yard sales. He’d view them as perfect opportunities to practice detachment.

After years of my belongings falling from grace and sinking into my dusty basement, it was time for a little cleansing. Before 7:00 a.m., signs had been posted and the dealing had begun. Things were going fast: games galore, a TV, multiple lamps of differing styles, necklaces & purses, dozens of books, an unused mega-kite, lacrosse & hockey sticks, Beanie babies with and without tags, an ice cream maker, bric-a-brac shelves, candle holders, and several VCR tapes. It felt great seeing all that clutter hauled away. Feeling detachment, I had no regrets… except one: my 17-foot Canadian-made Kawartha fiberglass canoe in pristine condition. It was the last item to go.

Granted, it had been collecting dust, but I maintained an attachment to it primarily because of it’s potential. Though I hadn’t used it for years, I refused to concede that I would never launch it again.

At first, the portly bearded man told me the price I was asking was a great one, but added that his wife would kill him if he bought it. Later in the day when he returned, I thought maybe he’d killed her instead. But in fact, she sat smiling in the front seat watching him as he walked timidly up to me.

He cleared his throat. “Would you go any lower?” he asked.

Knocking off $25 sealed the deal, then began the hardest part my lesson in detachment. It was time to truly let go.

I helped portly bearded man shove my pristine canoe into his beat up old Chevy Suburban. We shook hands, then I just stood there and watched until he drove around the corner and out of sight. Only a touch of trepidation lingered but I had done the right thing, cleansing my basement and my conscience at once.

It felt good to move on, and felt even better knowing that the Buddha would be proud of me.
