IS EMPOWERMENT REQUIRED? Khenpo Sodargye explicitly taught (regarding the Wangdu prayer): "But because it is a prayer, and does not contain explicit Vajrayana practice instructions, and furthermore because many people in Tibet, Han-China and overseas are already chanting this prayer, I think there is no harm to be had from you listening to this teaching." The visualization we're presenting is frontally visualized. As for the nine mantras in the video, be guided by your own teachers, but Garchen Rinpoche teaches that with "Bodhichitta" motivation (to benefit all sentient beings) it is fine to practice the mantras (again with frontal visualization (not self-generation unless you do have empowerment.) Most of these mantras are Namo mantras "Om Hrih (name of Yidam) Svaha" or are from praises which are publicly performed.
We answer these questions, and end with a lovely recitation of the great Wangdu, the Great Cloud of Blessings, a mind terma of Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche. According to Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche the benefits are:
"Anyone who prays in this way will, without any doubt, accomplish all magnetizing activities exactly according to their wishes."
The Buddhas of the Padma family are the most popular in Mahayana Buddhism, especially Amitabha and Avalokiteshvara. Many Mahayana Buddhists aspire to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of the Padma Family, known as Sukhavati. But, since all Buddha's are ultimately of one nature, and we all have Buddha Nature, why then, are the Padma family Buddhas so appealing and widely practiced? In part it is because the Padma family represent Dharma and Dharma teachings or speech. The other reason is pure charisma. The entire Enlightened family are charming and enticing.
Khenpo Sodargye Rinpoche explains the other reasons:
"For people who are new to dharma practice, the practice of magnetizing would definitely be of benefit. In this degenerate age, people have difficulty truly absorbing the Dharma because they lack inner strength; their path in learning the Dharma is filled with obstacles. If you are one of these people, by practicing magnetizing you will develop inner strength, and be able to bring the Dharma into your mind more easily. Then, no matter what kind of obstacle you encounter, you will be capable of handling it.”
Many Buddhists are attracted to the charismatic emanations of Enlightenment of the Padma family: Serene Amitabha, Compassionate Avalokiteshvara, Powerful Hero Hayagriva, Blissful Vajravarahi and Chakrasamvara, Enchanting Kurukulla, Powerful Vajradharma, and the glorious Lotus King aspect of Padmasambhava. Together, these are the Great Cloud of Blessings of the Padma family, celebrated in the famous practice of the Wangdu.
These are all aspects of Amitabha, who emanates in countless forms to help us.
Kyabje Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche explained why magnetizing and using the Wang Du prayer is the most important to successful practice:
“If you don’t have wealth, Wang Dü can bring you wealth; if you want position, Wang Dü can help you get position. Relying on this prayer, you can gain everything that your heart desires. If however, due to having no control over your mind, you are unable to give rise to bodhicitta, emptiness and other non-worldly accomplishments, reciting Wang Dü with diligence will allow you to gain these qualities with ease.” - บันเทิง

Amitabha, Devi and Shiva❤
Amitabha! I have alot of these images on this video on Buddhist Thankas that I purchased yrs ago. I remember yrs ago one evening after I made a vow to be born in Amitabha's Pure Land In a fraction of a second I saw a light flash on the topknot on Amitabha's head on one of the Buddhist Thankas I have. Those Buddha lamps in my windows are really called Buddha wish lamps on eBay where I purchased them from. Buddha Weekly helps me know what many of these images mean and their names on the Buddhist Thankas Thanks! "Amitabha" 🙏🙏🙏❤
🙏🙏🙏❤🙏❤

Would be great if the text under the video includes the mantra because the fellow who recites it goes quite fast and I can never catch the proper spelling.
Thanks for the suggestion. The details on the video are limited in characters, but we do have it on our website for reference, and we're also producing a PDF for download soon. Meanwhile here's the link to the in-depth feature with mantras on BuddhaWeekly.com: buddhaweekly.com/nine-red-yidams-of-amitabhas-padma-family-why-magnetizing-buddhas-are-called-cloud-of-blessings/
I'll post the PDF link when it's available.
In kindness, BW
@@BuddhaWeeklythank you so much.
Beautiful 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Being an Hindu, can I worship Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva?
From a Buddhist point-of-view, it's not an issue, but I don't know the answer from the practice point-of-view of other traditions. For example, I personally know several Buddhists who are also Christian, Hindu, and many other faiths. Buddhism doesn't have any concepts around exclusivity, and in fact it just broadens the spiritual dimensions to be inclusive. I don't see why it would be an issue, unless your lineage or tradition has strict guidelines. Buddha taught Universal, uniting concepts, such as Shunyata, and the concept that ultimately "all Buddhas of of one nature." In Mahayana tradition, we all have Buddha Nature, and that includes all beings. Hope that helps. In kindness, BW 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
@@BuddhaWeekly I understood 🙏🙏🙏
How to ask questions and get answer by intuition or inner wisdom plse reply sir plse reply sir
Dear Dharma Friend, That is a huge topic, and thank you for your suggestion of this topic. Mindfulness certainly is one method to "listen". We'll develop this as a topic in future. In the meanwhile, Venerable Ajahn Sumedho had this advice: "When you're mindful, you're beginning to notice. It's like this."
There is a free ebook (that compiled his talks on this topic) called Intuitive Awareness at Buddhanet if you're interested in exploring it in-depth. (I try not to put links here, but you can search it by name.)
We'll look into this very large topic in future. Thank you. In kindness, BW. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
@@BuddhaWeekly thank u sir
Can I chant each yidams mantra 108 times visualising each one after the another ?
Frontal generation is recommended (in other words you are visualizing each deity in front of you.) The mantras in this video are all "Namo" or praise videos as mentioned in the description, although be guided by your own lineage and tradition.
Khenpo Sodargye explicitly taught (regarding the Wangdu prayer): "But because it is a prayer, and does not contain explicit Vajrayana practice instructions, and furthermore because many people in Tibet, Han-China and overseas are already chanting this prayer, I think there is no harm to be had from you listening to this teaching." The visualization we're presenting is frontally visualized.
As for the nine mantras in the video, be guided by your own teachers, but Garchen Rinpoche teaches that with "Bodhichitta" motivation (to benefit all sentient beings) it is fine to practice the mantras (again with frontal visualization (not self-generation unless you do have empowerment.) Most of these mantras are Namo mantras "Om Hrih (name of Yidam) Svaha" or are from praises which are publicly performed. Even the Vajravarahi mantra here is strictly a Namo praise.
By chanting Namo mantras you are paying homage to, making offerings and honoring the deities. You're not engaging in any practice yogas, but rather, planting the seeds of virtue." Hope that helps (with the suggestion that you be guided by your own lineage and teachers.) In kindness, BW
