June 14, 2020 Mahamayuri Ceremony at Rainbow Temple

【TBS Seattle News】
On the afternoon of June 14, 2020, Rainbow Temple, Seattle, USA, respectfully invited True Buddha School Root Lineage Guru Living Buddha Lian-sheng to preside over a Mahamayuri Homa Ceremony. The transmission of the Mahamayuri Practice was debuted on Sep. 5, 2020, at the Amitabha Bardo Deliverance Ceremony held at Seattle Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple, USA, in the lunar year of Ji Chou.

Mahamayuri is also called the Buddha Mother Great Golden Brilliance Mahamayuri, or Maha-mayura-vidy-rajni in Sanskrit. In ancient India, Mahamayuri Practice was widely cultivated by lay and ordained practitioners of the two vehicles. Mahamayuri is an extremely important principal deity practice in Tibetan Buddhism, and one of the four major practices in Japanese Vajrayana.

According to the Buddha Mother Mahamayuri Sutra, during the era of the Buddha, a monk was suffering from a painful snake bite. After Ananda informed the Buddha of the situation, the Buddha transmitted a mantra able to dispel ghosts, poison, and evil diseases. This mantra was the Mahamayuri Mantra. In addition, long ages ago, there was a great golden peacock king (the Buddha in a previous lifetime) residing on a snowy mountain. Due to his regular recitation of the mantra, the peacock had a safe and peaceful life.

One time, the peacock indulged in pleasure. Instead of chanting the mantra, he went to play with female peacocks in a distant mountain and was caught by hunters. He restored his right mind immediately after being captured and began to chant the mantra. Finally, he was able to escape from the hunters and regain his freedom. Because the Buddha discoursed about her, Mahamayuri and her mantra became well-known throughout the mundane world.

Mahamayuri has many uncommon practices, such as Star Light Body Practice, Praying for Rain Practice, Rain Stopping Practice, Earthquake Suppression Practice, Love and Respect Practice, Mind and Body Purification Practice, Exorcism Practice, and Disease Eradication Practice. The background of the Mahamayuri is extraordinary. She wears a Mahavairocana crown. She is an important transformation of Mahavairocana. Mahamayuri is the sambhogakaya of Shakyamuni Buddha because in one of his previous lives, Shakyamuni reincarnated as the Peacock King. Mahamayuri is also a transformation of Amitabha Buddha. The Dharma King praised the formidable power of Mahamayuri, the principal deity of today’s homa. “The deity has three kinds of Dharma power and is capable of performing the four karmic practices of calamity eradication, enrichment, subjugation, and magnetization.

Because the pandemic is still spreading relentlessly in some countries, the Dharma King will preside over another Tara Who Saves from Contagious Diseases Homa Ceremony on June 21, 2020 to pray that COVID-19 will be swiftly eradicated, the global economy will be restored to good health, every country’s commerce will relaunch and improve, and that race relations in the US will be peaceful and harmonious.

The Padmakumara Mantra has a profound meaning. Since Padmakumara and the Root Guru are one and the same, if one completes 8 million recitations of the Guru Mantra, Padmakumara will appear before one at the moment of death and deliver one to Maha Twin Lotus Ponds. This is “chanting the mantra for rebirth in Maha Twin Lotus Ponds”.

Q: How does one maintain affinity with Grandmaster in future lifetimes forever?
A: There will be lasting affinity if one attains spiritual union with the Root Guru. By attaining spiritual union with Padmakumara, one will have affinity with Padmakumara in all future lifetimes forever.

Q: Dharma King taught an Evil Spirits Avoidance Mudra during the new year interview of 2015. Please elaborate the source of the mudra, how and when to use it, and whether there is an accompanying visualization and mantra?
