Great Middle Way 
Wonderful, Tashi-la. Believe it or not, I was wondering about the facets of this mantra yesterday, in connection with the Boston bombs. Thank you for such clarity and kindness. 🙂
Reblogged this on Zen Flash.
Wonderful, Tashi la. What is abhisambodhikaya?
Abhisambodhikaya is the fifth of the five kayas (bodies or forms) of Buddhahood, defined by Jamgön Kongtrül in his Treasury of Knowledge as “manifold manifestation in accordance with the karma of those to be influenced, without departing from dharmakaya, that appears because the other four kayas are spontaneously complete within awareness wisdom.”
I see — conceptually for now. — thank you.
