Warrior Monk | | "My father is the intrinsic awareness, Samantabhadra. My mother is the ultimate sphere of reality, Samantrabhadri. I belong to the caste of non-duality of the sphere of awareness. My name is the Glorious Lotus Born. I am from the unborn sphere of all phenomena. I consume concepts of duality as my diet. I act in the way of the Buddhas of the three times."

Thus shall you think of this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream

Peter Boaz Jones | | I had to look up this as I’m still learning English. ;-)
PADMASAMBHAVA, the Lotus Born, is said to have transmitted Tantric Buddhism to Bhutan and Tibet in the 8th century. In those lands he is better known as Guru Rinpoche ("Precious Master") or Lopon Rinpoche, where followers of the Nyingma school regard him as the second Buddha. - Wikipedia
It was he who said Warrior Monk’s original post.
We could thus say that Samantabhadra, is the Yang and is universally worthy, and Father Time the 'primordial Mother Buddha', Samantabhadri, the Ying or Mother Nature, synonymous with the Elohim and the three being the Spirit by which They create and as in Genesis 1:27-28:
“And God [Elohim] said, ‘Let Us make humans in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ So God [Elohim] created humans in His Own image, in the image of God [Elohim] He created them; male and female He created them”.

ANAND BANGARPET | | Dear Peter,
Padmasambhava (Blooming of Lotus) happens to all who is in unconditional loving state with compassion and without any ego traces, when his / her mind dissolves in heart region, irrespective Gods and religions.
Warm regards,
Anand

Peter Boaz Jones | | Dear Anand, indeed that's the very way it's supposed be. I noticed you have blooming whereas Wikipedea has born.
When one is born-again one starts to bloom. Some are early bloomers and some late bloomers.

ANAND BANGARPET | | Dear Peter,
Peter, The cloud seems to be heavy and Bloom happen when the lotus receives the light. Any puncture in the Cloud brings light, but creates pain!!!
The word "Padma" (Lotus) can bloom even though it is located in the murkier water. Somehow the word "Padma" is used extensively to describe the "Universal Mother" (Like, Padmini, Padma maladharyai, padma mukhai, padma hasthe, etc.,) , and Sambhava Means "Happens / take birth". Padmasambhava happens due to compassion . May be, Motherly compassion can be the right word, rather than only Compassion.
Warm Regards,
Anand

Peter Boaz Jones | | Thank you Anand for your extra insight, and Warrior Monk for your lure. ;-)
Oṃ Âh Hûṃ Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hûṃ
Om Ah Hum, as we’ve seen, have no conceptual meaning. Often they’re associated with body, speech, and mind respectively (i.e. the whole of one’s being. So there’s a suggestion that we are saluting the qualities that Padmasambhava represents with all of our hearts (and minds, and bodies).
Vajra means thunderbolt, and represents the energy of the enlightened mind. It can also mean diamond. The implication is that the diamond/thunderbolt can cut through anything. The diamond is the indestructible object, while the thunderbolt is the unstoppable force. The vajra also stands for compassion. While it may seem odd to have such a “masculine” object representing compassion, this makes sense in esoteric Buddhism because compassion is active, and therefore aligned with this masculine symbol. (The term “masculine” does not of course imply that compassion is limited to males!)
Guru, of course, means a wise teacher. It comes from a root word, garu, which means “weighty.” So you can think of the guru as one who is a weighty teacher. Padmasambhava is so highly regarded in Tibetan Buddhism that he is often referred to as the second Buddha.
Padma means lotus, calling to mind the purity of the enlightened mind, because the lotus flower, although growing in muddy water, is completely stainless. In the same way the enlightened mind is surrounded by the greed, hatred, and delusion that is found in the world, and yet remains untouched by it. The lotus therefore represents wisdom. Again, while westerners would tend to assume that the flower represents compassion, the receptive nature of the flower gives it a “feminine” status in esoteric Buddhism, and to the lotus is aligned with the “feminine” quality of wisdom. And once again, there is no implication that wisdom is in any way limited to those who are female. The words masculine and feminine here are used in a technical sense that’s completely unrelated to biology.
And Siddhi means accomplishment or supernatural powers, suggesting the way in which those who are enlightened can act wisely, but in ways that we can’t necessarily understand. Padmasambhava is a magical figure, and in his biography there are many miracles and tussles with supernatural beings.

Monk part of your last post brought to mind:
"If anyone comes to Me, and doesn't hate their own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and their own life also, they can't be My disciple” (Luke 14:26). Of course the “hate” refers “to love less” in the sense of being attached more than the Maitreya. Later, Jesus enlarged on it further and mentions possessions too:
Matthew 19:29a Mark 10:29 Luke 18:29
And Jesus answered and said to them,
“Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left home (and every one who has forsaken), houses, or brothers, or sisters, or parents, father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My Name’s sake, and the gospel’s - for the Kingdom of God’s sake,
Matthew 19:29b Mark 10:30 Luke 18:30
nevertheless they shall receive a hundredfold. Who shall not only receive manifold more now in this present time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come shall inherit everlasting life.”

ANAND BANGARPET | | My Dear Shri Peter Monk,
Thanks for dealing in depth about the Mantra and it was quite educative for me and my understanding.
One thing I like about Bible is that the teachings are quite direct and simple. Mantras are not so simple and one need to contemplate deep to understand the meaning. However, contemplation is needed for teachings too. In the process on meditating and contemplation of any teaching or Mantra, one develops scynchronity of thoughts and the Aura changes in human's spiritual structure.
In mantra, I observed that the words when meditated hits the right chakras and activates the person for higher spiritual path.
However, I feel that "divine pure Love and motherly compassion" towards all around us and one (Without attachment) is the greatest mantra or teaching. As Kabir Said, " What is the use of a powerful mantra for a person, who donot understand and experience Love".
Though Buddism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, speaks of Compassion, I am still surprised to see that people kill animals for Food !!!
Warm Regards,
Anand

Warrior Monk | | Ouch!!! that hurt dear you, Anand.... it did, you bet it did...
needless to say I stopped eating nonveg including eggs one year and six months back so I am veggy now but not vegan because I do add a wee bit of milk for my morning tea, no cheese, no butter but heck ice cream I cannot resist.
But sugar yes, unfortunately it is coated with animal charcoal that gives it the whiteness.
Why did I stop??? because the inner voice from above told me that I was done.
I could have stopped way back but had to go on to feed the entities who craved for it and ate it through me( and then the time came for me to stop as mentioned above). Blame that on my past life karma.
The liquor has stopped as well three months back reasons being the same as above.
The cigarettes will stop too... and then I can totally align my chakras and let forth my being in a fountain of ecstacy through the thousand petaled lotus.
Sorry dear friend but I am making and effort, forgive me for taking so long.
Peace - Like dear George always signs off - miss you George
Monk.

ANAND BANGARPET | | My Dear Monk,
Good that you stopped Liquor! I am happy to hear that.
If health is lost due to cigarrates , I feel nothing much is lost; But due to liquors somany things gets lost; Relationship, Respect, and more important our ownself and mind.
Everything we consume and enjoy has an element of consciousness and let's try to consume the one which has less consciousness.
Before we align chakras let's make efforts to truly love one and all.
Warm Regards,
Anand
