Calling the Lama from Afar
A prayer which is regularly recited for our precious guru, Kyabje Chime Rinpoche.
A Kagyu lineage Vajrayana prayer and meditation by Jamgon Kongtrul, serving as a guru yoga for practitioners to connect with their root teacher.
It is a request for blessings and guidance, expressing unwavering devotion and trust in the Lama. The prayer acknowledges the samsaric suffering of practitioners. It relies on their pure devotion to “call” the Lama, believing the Lama is the embodiment of all Buddhas, regardless of physical distance.
Bodhisattva Vow
Bodhisattva Vow from the Bodhicaryavatara (from chapter three).
The Bodhisattva vow is a commitment to achieve full enlightenment (buddhahood) for the liberation of all sentient beings from suffering. This vow involves developing bodhicitta, the aspiration for enlightenment for others, and cultivating the six perfections.
The Boddhisattva vow is often made in a ritual setting before a teacher or the Three Jewels, to work towards this universal goal across multiple lifetimes.
