💙 “If by the time of my death I have not completed the path,
I seek your blessings to go to the Pure Land
Through the instructions on correctly applying the five forces,
The supremely powerful method of transference to Buddhahood.”

How to accomplish this is explained in detail in our book of the month, Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

❤️ The month of January is a special month in the Kadampa calendar during which we emphasize the practices of Heruka and Vajrayogini, the principal Highest Yoga Ta**ra Deities of modern Kadampa Buddhism. These sublime practices were given to us by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and were his heart practices. Through his kindness we have the opportunity to attain the supreme happiness of enlightenment through following the practices of Vajrayogini.

❤️ Today, the tenth day of the month, is Vajrayogini Day. Kadampa Centers worldwide will be making offerings and engaging in prayers to Vajrayogini.

💎 “The fact of the matter is that this world is not our home. We are travellers, passing through. We came from our previous life, and in a few years, or a few days, we will move on to our next life. We entered this world empty-handed and alone, and we will leave empty-handed and alone. Everything we have accumulated in this life, including our very body, will be left behind.

💎 “All that we can take with us from one life to the next are the imprints of the positive and negative actions we have created. If we ignore death we will waste our life working for things that we will only have to leave behind, creating many negative actions in the process and having to travel on to our next life with nothing but a heavy burden of negative karma.

💎 “On the other hand, if we base our life on a realistic awareness of our mortality we will regard our spiritual development as far more important than the attainments of this world, and we will view our time in this world principally as an opportunity to cultivate positive minds such as patience, love, compassion and wisdom.

💎 “Motivated by these virtuous minds we will perform many positive actions, thereby creating the cause for future happiness. When the time of our death comes we will be able to pass away without fear or regret, our mind empowered by the virtuous karma we have created.”

📒 “This meditation on equanimity is an essential preparation for meditation on the sevenfold cause and effect.

📒 “The realization of equanimity is the basis for all the subsequent realizations because we need to reduce our strong attachment and aversion before we can recognize all other beings as our mother.

📒 “Most of us at present have some people whom we hold very close and dear, some people whom we hate and try to avoid and some people towards whom we have no particular feeling of either attachment or aversion.

📒 “To eliminate such an unbalanced attitude we need to gain the realization of equanimity.”

❤️ Vajrayogini practice begins at night because during sleep the clear light mind manifests naturally, and with training we can use this mind to progress along the spiritual path by using it to meditate on emptiness.

✴️ “Anger is a response to feelings of unhappiness, which in turn arise whenever we meet with unpleasant circumstances. ✴️ “Whenever we are prevented from fulfilling our wishes, or forced into a situation we dislike – in short, whenever we have to put up with something we would rather avoid – our uncontrolled mind reacts by immediately feeling unhappy. ✴️ “This uncomfortable feeling can easily turn into anger, and we become even more disturbed than before.” From How to Solve Our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso https://tharpa.com/uk/how-to-solve-our-human-problems
