The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, quoting her Root Guru, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche:
From His Holiness Penor Rinpoche:
In the Tantras it is stated again and again the importance of relying on the Lama as the source of blessing in one’s practice. Regardless of the particular prayer that the student offers to the Lama, regardless of how small and insignificant it may be if it is based upon the student’s complete trust and faith in the Lama then the blessings of the Lama are always accessible to the student. In the Tantra of the Ocean of Timeless Awareness it states that it is much better to recite one small prayer to one’s own Lama out of pure faith and devotion then it is to perform hundreds of millions of recitations of Diety Mantras. The effect of prayer is far more powerful when it is truly an expression of one’s own faith and devotion in one’s Lama.
Heart teaching from Kyabje Drubwang PemaNorbu Rinpoche
What a treasury of blessings you make available to us, Precious Lama. How easy it should be to feast at this bountiful table – if only one had the mindfulness to do so continually throughout the day. I shall try, and with your blessings, and only through your blessings, I will succeed.
OM MANI PEDME HUNG!!
Om Mani Pedme Hung!
Om Mani Pedme Hung!
Thank you precious Guru for turning my mind towards Dharma and opening my heart to
those suffering in the world. Thank you for bringing me close and inviting me to the wealth
of blessings you offer. May I learn to be both more receptive to your teaching and more engaged in Bodhiccitta activity. May you have long life. May your wishes be fulfilled.
Thank you Jetsunma for this precious teaching. May we all rely on our Lama as the source of blessing in our practice. May our practice be rich with devotion always
