Request for all

Post by kausalya »

Maybe a bit lame, but can we all wish for each other never to be separated from the guru? I'm feeling his absence right now :consoling:

For as long as sentient beings remain,
Until then may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world."

May we think of the guru fondly,
as the guru always thinks of us.
Sought out by the buddhas,
having joyfully met their guide,
how could time or space detain us?

May your pillow be the guru's lap as you receive teachings in dreams.
May your every thought, word, and act be inspired by the guru.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche - Calling the Guru from Afar (Abbreviated Version)

The first section is actually Shabkar Tshog-drug Rang-drol's famous Lama Gyan Bod. This was said every day at Jetsun Shukseb Cho-nyid Wang-mo's nunnery and is still said daily by the Shukseb nun's at Yu-lo-ko nunnery in Dolu below Pharping, Nepal. Jetsun Shukseb held the Longchen Nyingthig lineage that came down from Shabkar. Her Root Guru, Lama Pema Gyatsho had been a student of Shabkar. My Teacher's wife had been a close student of Jetsun Shukseb Rinpoche (sometimes called Ani Lochen). So we also sang this every day for many, many years. It is still hands down my favorite Lama Gyan Bod. Can't help crying every time.

I pray that the teacher has a good health
I pray that the teacher has a very long life
I pray that his activities spread far and wide
I request to not be separated from them
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

YES!

I just mean that I'm not always comfortable asking for help, and because I don't know all of you personally, that makes it difficult, at times... :D
