Guhyasamāja Tantra

Post by Caoimhghín »

Is the Guhyasamāja Tantra a "restricted text"?
Then, the monks uttered this gāthā:

These bodies are like foam.
Them being frail, who can rejoice in them?
The Buddha attained the vajra-body.
Still, it becomes inconstant and ruined.
The many Buddhas are vajra-entities.
All are also subject to inconstancy.
Quickly ended, like melting snow --
how could things be different?

The Buddha passed into parinirvāṇa afterward.
(T1.27b10 Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra DĀ 2)

Almost any Tantra is, to some degree, AFAIK. That one, definitely - again AFAIK.

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when suffering occurs

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when you are scared
