Free Buddha Dharma ebook The Noble Mahāyāna Sūtra “The Questions of Śrīmatī the Brahmin Woman” འཕགས་པ་བྲམ་ཟེ་མོ་དཔལ་ལྡན་མས་ཞུས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ། ’phags pa bram ze mo dpal ldan mas zhus pa zhes bya ba theg pa chen po’i mdo Ārya­śrīmatī­brāhmaṇī­pari­pṛcchānāmamahāyāna­sūtra During an alms round in Vārāṇasī, the Buddha Śākyamuni encounters a brahmin woman by the name of Śrīmatī. Inspired by the Buddha’s majestic and graceful presence, Śrīmatī inquires about the teaching he gave at nearby Deer Park. In response, the Buddha reprises the teaching on how the twelve links of dependent origination lead to suffering and how their cessation leads to the end of suffering. Śrīmatī then asks about the nature of ignorance, the first of the twelve links. The Buddha offers a profound response and raises the distinction between ultimate truth and conventional teaching. At this, Śrīmatī makes the aspiration that she too may turn the many wheels of Dharma just as the Buddha has done. The Buddha then smiles and prophesies her eventual awakening. The sūtra concludes with the Buddha describing Śrīmatī’s virtuous deeds in past lives, in which she had venerated each of the six previous buddhas.

Free Buddha Dharma ebook ༈ །རྗེ་བཙུན་བླ་མ་དམ་པ་རྣམས་ཀྱི་ཞལ་ལུང་བསྐྱུད་བྱང་ཟིན་བྲིས་སུ་བཏབ་པ་བློ་གསལ་དགའ་བའི་རྣ་རྒྱན།དབུ་མ་དང་། བྱང་སེམས་ཀྱི་ལམ། སྒོམ་བཅས་ཀྱི་བཤད་པ། An Adornment for the Ear to Delight Those of Sharp Intelligence: Notes to Remember the Oral Instructions of the Sublime Noble Masters An Explanation of Madhyamaka, the Bodhisattva Path, and Meditation The following work consists of a short series of notes addressing Madhyamaka reasoning, the three defining characteristics, and topics related to the Mahāyāna path and meditative states. They are drawn from a larger compilation entitled An Adornment for the Ear to Delight Those of Sharp Intelligence: Notes to Remember the Oral Instructions of the Sublime Noble Masters. This work possesses several interesting features, but above all it is important to stress that it is not a formal composition. Rather, it comprises a pastiche largely (if not entirely) based on preexisting sources, with added rearrangements, interpolations (such as topic headings), and omissions. In places where it was not possible to identify a comparable preexisting source, this does not entail the lack of one, as additional research would likely reveal further relevant materials. While a clear and encompassing relationship between the presentations translated here is not made explicit, they are given as a unit within An Adornment for the Ear, and they likely shared a common original location. Furthermore, we do also find notable continuities in their potential sources. Indeed, the initial discussion of Madhyamaka reasoning and the final discussion of the samādhis of the nine absorptions exhibit close correspondences to parts of Jigme Lingpa’s (1729/1730–1798) autocommentary to the Treasury of Precious Qualities, itself a work of extensive scope. In general, of the plausible sources identified for this extract of An Adornment for the Ear, Nyingma works are the most representative.

Free Buddhism Dharma ebook 365 Daily Teachings ༧སྐྱབས་རྗེ་ཡོངས་འཛིན་མཁན་ཆེན་ཁྲ་འགུ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་ཞལ་གདམས་གཅེས་བཏུས། By Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, tutor of His Holiness the Karmapa This book “356 Daily Teachings of Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche” is a carefully selected compilation of 365 short and practical heart advice from the teachings of the 9th Very Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche. These profound teachings have been selected from more than 35 English books that were skillfully translated, ensuring their authenticity and clarity. This book was initiated during the lockdown in 2020 during the lockdown in India when Rinpoche could not travel, and disciples were unable to attend teachings in person. To bridge this gap, the idea to extract short quotes from Rinpoche’s innumerous books and present them with thoughtful design on social media networks was born. Over time, this collection of daily advice grew, leading to the decision to publish this book. Launched in November 2023, during Rinpoche's cremation ceremony, it serves as a testament to the dedication and effort invested in sharing Rinpoche's teachings with the world. These teachings are meant to be contemplated and practiced frequently and eventually bringing joy through diligence.
