“It would be very beneficial during this time to do Vajrasattva practice, to sponsor Tsok and (*1)Butterlamps, and make any kind of offerings, including water bowl offerings, prostrations and circumambulations.” ~ Lama Sonam Rinpoche

(*1)”The outer lights symbolize the inner light of our own practice. Our meditation cultivates our natural light. Light can manifest for many beings to dispel ignorance, bringing incredible merit to ourselves and to all sentient beings. By offering lights, we are praying that the inner light of all beings is joined with infinite light.”  ~ Lama Sonam Rinpoche

Dorsem Lama Chöpa:

“Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche compiled this Dorsem Lama Chöpa, a special offering guru yoga of Vajrasattva based on the first Mindroling Terdak Lingpa’s treasure. The lama is always the root of all blessings. Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche perfectly arranged this Guru Yoga practice for how to make offerings to the lama and receive our lama’s direct blessings, especially through dak-juk self-empowerment.” ~ Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

How to Meditate with Confidence

“whatever phenomena or conceptualization arise, do not stop them. Just let them come, self-occurring. Without following them, they become naturally pristine, or peaceful. When one gains confidence in abiding in the great, uncontrived, effortless nature of evenness for a long time, whatever phenomena arise, one will not cling or be attached to them the same as before. Whatever outer or inner phenomena occur, including those of the eight consciousnesses—which are the five sense consciousnesses of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, the consciousness of mind, the mind of the passions, and the consciousness of the basis—they become lighter, so one is not going to materialize them. For example, even if one dreams, clinging and attachment to the dream have ceased.”
