Download or read book Padmi o written by Jeffrey Redman and published by Mandala Meringue Pie Press. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Padmi'o - A Baby Buddha Dharma Story is a Tibetan Buddhist children's book. Inspired by the profound and unbroken lineage teachings of Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, it's a reminder of impermanence and the importance of cultivating the Dharma in this brief lifetime so to liberate suffering. This story in the Land of Snow is about Padmi'o (a compassionate, baby Buddha), Wild Chi (a vicious, ravaging dragon), and the frightened townsfolk who desperately desire to rid themselves of the dragon's wrath. However, gifted by the highland Garuda, Padmi'o eventually faces Wild Chi, not with sword and shield, but instead using only the Dharma. In essence, it illustrates how the mind can be like a wild dragon, and the skillful means of compassion and wisdom can tame this creature of destructive habits. Dedicated to Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, the founder of the Vajrayana Foundation, Rinpoche wrote the following excerpt about Padmi'o - A Baby Buddha Dharma Story, "I really enjoyed reading this story and looking at the accompanying illustrations because they embody positive spiritual energy. In the same way, people of all ages can read it and be influenced in a positive way, catching this contagious positive wisdom energy. This energy can heal our wounded lives and build positive habits. This, then, will definitely bring about both short-term happiness for this life and long-term happiness that is the freedom of complete liberation for oneself and all beings forever." Padmi'o is a contemporary Dharma tale that like traditional Buddhist classics offers all children, sangha parents or spiritual seekers from any culture a meaningful insight into both the nature of the agitated mind and its soothing balm, compassion. So, for a fully-illustrated adventure in consciousness, let the story of Padmi'o uplift your children, comfort family and friends or be a seed of awareness sprouting forth from your own library. The additional features of this storybook are its Foreword and Glossary of Dharma Terms also graciously written by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche. May all beings abide in peace. May all beings be happy, and may Padmi'o the baby Buddha be templed in our hearts.
Download or read book The Lotus Born for the Young at Heart written by Surabhi Katherine Splain and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after the Buddha passed into nirvana, a water fairy from the Lake of the Hidden Treasure witnesses the birth of an Indian hero, Padmasambhava, who is born in a giant lotus in the middle of her lake. He incarnates to help carry on the Buddha's teachings. Something happens that inspires her to follow him on all his adventures, and she is able to tell his story from her unique perspective. King Ja discovers Padmasambhava, known affectionately as Pema, and carries him back to his palace, believing that his prayers for a son have been finally answered. A twist of fate leads Pema to the terrifying Chilly Grove Cemetery, where he develops his meditation skills and transcends many physical challenges. When the water fairy convinces him to revisit his birthplace at the Lake of the Hidden Treasure, Pema returns to teach the fairies and gnomes the secret to true happiness. Pema's loving kindness magnetizes the nature spirits to serve him devotedly, and with their magic, they assist him in his quest to spread Buddha's message to the people of India and Tibet. The fairy shares Pema's adventures with Mandarava, Emperor Ashok, Vajrakilaya, Yeshe Tsogyal, Emperor Trisong Deutsen, and the nature spirits of Tibet. Pema is a Buddhist saint who befriends the nature spirits with his sincere reverence for the unseen work they do in balancing the earth, air, water, fire, and space within Mother Nature. He is aware that good-hearted humans must guide the spirits of nature by giving them loving attention--or else undivine forces can take them over and create chaos. The water fairy tells the significant events of Padmasambhava's life with the vivid detail of one who flew wherever he walked, and she shares his profound wisdom with charming simplicity.

Download or read book Buddhism and Tales of the Supernatural in Early Medieval China written by Zhenjun Zhang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the historical changes in early medieval China as seen in the tales of the supernatural—thematic transformation from traditional demonic retribution to Karmic retribution, from indigenous Chinese netherworld to Buddhist concepts of hell, and from the traditional Chinese savior to a new savior, Buddha. It also examines Buddhist imagery and the flourish of new motifs in the fantastic dreamworld and their relationship with Buddhism. This study relates the Youming lu to the development of popular Chinese Buddhist beliefs, attempting to single out ideas that differ from the beliefs found in Buddhist scriptures as well as miraculous tales written especially to promote Buddhism.
