True Buddha Foundation News

On September 15th, 2012, His Holiness Living Buddha Lian-sheng will be honorably present and preside over the Ren Chen Year (壬辰年) Bardo-Deliverance Ceremony in Lynnwood Convention Center. This ceremony is very sacred. Recently many sincere disciples have congregated in the ancestral temple, hoping to get closer to Lineage Root Guru and hear the precious Dharma teachings from him.

His Holiness compassionately gave a special dharma talk on September 8th. He mentioned that the patron god Śubhakṛtsna「遍淨天」（Vishnu 毗濕奴）has very sacred and powerful \”Remove Tumor Dharma\” and \”Enhance Memory Dharma\”. These two dharma practices will be grandly revealed in this coming ceremony on September 15th.

To practice this dharma, disciples must chant Vishnu Mantra (遍淨天王心咒) and Garuda Mantra (大鵬金翅鳥心咒) each for two hundred thousand times. His Holiness advises disciples who are able to attend the ceremony to lose no time by beginning to chant the Mantras right now. His Holiness encourages all disciples not to neglect the importance of this sacred dharma, so as not to regret later.

Introduction of Vishnu:

《Vishnu 遍淨天王》

Hinduism consists of three major gods. Brahma (大梵天王) is the creator of the universe and Shiva (大自在天王) is the destroyer. Vishnu (遍淨天王) is the preserver and protector of the universe. To preserve the universe, Vishnu returns to the earth in many forms of his avatara. In Buddhism, the heaven of universal purity (遍淨天) is the highest heaven in the third Dhyana heaven (三禪天) listed in the Meditation Heavens of Forms realm (色界). This level is full of pure happiness, infinite light, pure merit and accomplishments. It also regards turning toward exanimate state as happiness.

Om be-dza wei-shu-nu-ya so-ha
Om be-dza ga-ru-da dza-reh dza-reh hum-pei

Seed-syllable:
The syllable (Ah) (yellow color)
