01 Gen-la Dekyong Teaching Dorje Shugden

Sunday 05-10-2025

We're doing some scientific research with our self - I hope you enjoy yourself - this festival rich in D - in the temple - representation of the ripening of our potential if we do scientific reserarch and we think why am I happy you'll find the answer - bec we are focused on D we receive blessings in the company of pure spi practitioners setting good example for us to follow and we are in the service of othres

From before the sun gets up all day long and through the night - people are helping

if we can be happy for a day we can be happy for two days and then for a week (getting shocking) all we do is follow the correct scientific method - mixing our mind with pure Kadam D and stay close to our root G who is JT Hrk and DS - actually easy.

So why don't we let our self be happy every day by using thes emethods and don't worry when the festival ends keep doing the same thing - staying close to our spi guide working against our delu recving his powerful blessings and benefiting others serving others that's our life as Kadampas

We engaged again in the request to the holy spi gui by his followers

In my small experience there is so much meaning in this prayer - teaching us how to rely purely on a pure spi guid - if a qualified disciple relies purely on a pure spi guide - the attaniment of E is easy. so this prayer helps us to become a qualified faithful disciple and in this prayer many words are used different expression for the kadam dharma that we have the extraordinary good fortune that we are practicing

in this prayer we pray to VG because he is the only founder of the NKT - we are his disciples and VG in the second verse we say

You who arose from the compassion of all Buddhas to revela ...the path to liberation of the fortunate ones Oh what great good fortune to have meat your precious D of the Oral Insturctions

That is what we practice - the instructions of the GOL coming from the heart of our founder our Root Guru VGKGR - that's why we use the words "your precious D of the oral instructions"

in the last verse - particularly relevant for this festival -

and the virtuous deeds of the great d protector ... may the doctorine of ... so that each and ... will find the supreme happiness of E

The supreme H of E is found through the doctrine of the GOL - these are expressions of the precious D that we found follow and practice

in the empowerment we where given the advice from our g heart to practice HJ every day the purpose is to develop unwavering faith in Guru Tsongkhapa and DS because this faith is everything for us Developing such faith in JT and DS is very simple and easy

We will one day be able to explain to others ho easy it is easy to follow the liberating path. We currently make it difficult because of delusions

In particular you can accomplish HYT realization through f and belief

This faith is most important precious inner jewel even highest scholars - intelectual knowledge of D alone coannot solve our problem.

I love that - due to modern society and the karma we have sometimes we are satisfied with intelectual knowledge. If you hear your self saying know this reply back I do not know this because that pride isn't a mind of a qualified disciple we want to have an experience not knowledge.

Intelectula knowledge canot help solve delusions
faith week - knowledge will not help us to solve our problems

without faith in Guru Tsongkhapa and DS the insturctions remain just that - knowledge We are not using. The difference between knowledge and experience is the faith that wants to use the insturctions to change. taking the insturctions like the deepest medicine.

We know that we are doing it because of our realizations will increase and others will see this . we will know when this is happening.

We should care for our faith as if it where a precious jewel.

With every precious text coming from VG heart we should ask our self what does the title mean and I think we will receive many answers.

Our faith - we should care for it as if it where a precious jewel. At first it will be small gradually it will increase faith is naturally vir actions we do not special vir motivation it alway make the mind naturally peaceful calm positive VG proposed a question - if someone ask me do you have any realizations? I can answer yes - I have faith and confidence in JT.

Is that our answwer? is that the most precious inner wealth that we possess? our faith in our G as JT? Faith is our own realization f is what makes d function. it is said generally DS practitioners who rely and practice DS have no problem in developing f in JT. if we have f in JT this is enough. A special BD that is the nature of the qck path to E if we have f it is very easy for us to make progress this is advice from my heart pease keep it in your eart

our heart jewel - one way we can interpert this title. as you know we are focusing this festival on relying on the DP but because DS JT are two aspects of same person

So start by reading the introduction of the book HJ

This book presentsts two practices revealed by the wisdom .... who himself is an emanation of B Manjushri By relying on this practice we can .... in this way we will naturally accomplish all the realizations of the stages of the bpath of su and tt and in particular we will attain a very special D wisdom The second practice - is a method for relying on the DP through this pracitce we can over come ... and cerate favarable conditions....

VG says exactly what he means - we can apply faithful effort to contempalte these insturctions.
