  In order to teach sentient beings in Jambudvīpa, the White-Haired Bodhisattva descended from the inner court of Tushita to the human world. He rode a white elephant and entered his mother’s womb in the dead of night… In the Lumbini Garden, where flowers were in full bloom, Queen Suddhodana, who was six months pregnant, was resting under a tree. The breeze was blowing, birds were chirping, and the surroundings were peaceful. At this quiet and serene moment, Sakyamuni Buddha was born safely from the right hand of Queen Maya. The newborn prince flew in the air, taking seven steps to the east, south, west, and north respectively. Beautiful seven-treasure lotus flowers bloomed with his steps. The Buddha pointed to the sky with one hand and the earth with the other and said, “I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth.” The gods Sakyamuni and

[A brief explanation of the All-Accomplishing Tara] There are many kinds of Taras. In addition to the twenty-one Taras that are commonly mentioned, there are many other Taras, such as Vajrapani, White Umbrella Goddess, Wealth Goddess, etc. They are all Taras. Many of the Buddha Goddesses in most of the mother tantras belong to the Tara method. There are four major tantras in Tantra – the Kriya Tantra, the Charya Tantra, the Yoga Tantra and the Highest Yoga Tantra. Generally, the Tara Tantra belongs to the Kriya Tantra, but the Twenty-Tara Praises can be interpreted as the Yoga Tantra, or as the Highest Yoga Tantra, etc. There are many interpretations. In the past, many Tara rituals of accomplished masters were written in the Kriya tantra. Therefore, when practicing Tara in Tibet, one should not eat meat and observe the pure precepts. The practice of Kriya tantra attaches great importance to

Mahakala is a very important Dharma protector in Buddhism. It is often mentioned in the Vajrayana tantras that the main deity appears as a Dharma protector. There are many forms of Mahakala, which can be basically divided into two categories: the transcendental form of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the mundane form of Dharma protectors and their followers. Mahakala, the Lord of the Assembly, is a protector who transcends the world. His Tibetan name is Ganpo Tsog dag. “Gongpo” means protector, “Tsog” means the harmony of many causes, aspects and forces, and “Da” means the lord. The whole meaning is the Lord of the Assembly. The Ganesha God of Wealth is also commonly known as the Lord of All Assembly, which means that the body of a human and the head of an elephant are combined into one, and the soul of the god is combined into the body of an

The Sanskrit name of the Goddess of Good Fortune is Mahakali, a Buddhist guardian deity. She was originally the daughter of Lord Shiva. When the Buddha was in deep meditation at Bodhgaya and was about to attain the state of perfect enlightenment, all the evil demons were displeased and wanted to use their magic power to disturb the Buddha’s enlightenment. The Buddha subdued all the demons with his great power, and at that time the Buddha also subdued Mahakali. From that time on, Mahakali made a vow in front of the Buddha to protect the Buddha’s teachings and became the most outstanding female guardian deity. Her ultimate essence is the same as that of the Prajnaparamita Buddha Mother, but in order to benefit all sentient beings, she manifested her wrathful appearance from the Dharma Realm. In terms of the conventional truth, Mahakali is the Buddha Mother of all Mahakala (Mahakala),

The wisdom of Manjushri Bodhisattva is so great that no words can describe it. It is recorded in the “Volume 2 of the Sutra on the Adornment of the Merits of the Buddha’s Land of the Great Saint Manjushri Bodhisattva”: At that time, Lion-Fierce Thunder Sound Bodhisattva said to Manjushri, “You have already completed the ten powers of the Tathagata and the ten stages. All the Buddhist teachings are complete. Why don’t you attain the supreme Bodhi?” Manjushri said, “Good man, how can I attain Bodhi after completing all the Buddha’s teachings? Why? If I have already completed them, what is there to attain?” Therefore, we know that his attainment is no different from that of the Buddha. He only takes the position of a Bodhisattva in order to benefit sentient beings. In order to benefit sentient beings, he manifests himself in various different forms. In this ritual, he appears
