THE SUDDEN AWAKENING WISH FULFILLING JEWEL – THE WHITE LOTUS CONSCIOUSNESS

I am going to speak with you about parables and stories.

I call it ‘Dreaming on the White Lotus’.

The outer, inner and secret powers of parables and our own personal story.

I am going to ask you to offer yourself and all your blessings and gifts, with deepest gratitude to All That Is, in the time that it takes to read through this, to surrender your self to the power of your Radiant Self.

OFFERING THE DOOR OF OUR HEART

What would we offer the Buddha or the Christ if they knocked on our door this evening?

Well they are knocking right now, on the door of our heart, knocking from within, and waiting for our answer.

We sometimes think that we have nothing to offer God, no precious jewels or visions, no miracles, no treasure we have accumulated, no past life where we were a saint that we can recall and share.

However when we see our own true nature, then every pebble or leaf, every beat of our awakening heart, is as precious as a wish fulling jewel.

That is the secret of the consciousness of the White Lotus.

When we see that everything in this universe conspired to create that leaf and our heart, that within the leaf is every galaxy, every sun, moon, cloud and rain that ever was created, then that little leaf, that tiny beat “HUM HUM” of our heart becomes a possibility of our awakening now.

And when we give that leaf, each moment, every heart beat, as an offering to the Buddha or the Christ, then the merit of that offering is the same as the Three Magi who offered gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, and Long Nu, the daughter of the naga king, who offered the rarest most precious pearl from the deepest ocean.

The simplest offering is a prayer, a song from our heart, the sharing of our own personal story of what is here and now, offered with the deepest devotion.

There are many prayers, songs and stories which we hold dear to our heart and the ones we speak or sing or chant or intone or tell internally every day have the deepest meaning and power.

We can make our prayer, our song and our story a miracle, a wish fulfilling jewel, through deep intention and faith, that can inspire sudden awakening within us.

All prayers, mantras and sounds have outer, inner and secret meanings.

So do stories, because like prayers and mantras, stories are sounds.

This is why the parables of Yeshua were such powerful transformational tools.

This is why Garab Dorje, the first human teacher of Dzogchen or the Great Perfection teachings, chose visualizations and stories to awaken the mind and heart.

They paint pictures in our mind and the imagery awakens our innermost jewel of the heart.

Garab Dorje developed seven wisdom doors of the mind and heart which train you in activating the bodhicitta (the spontaneous wish to attain enlightenment to benefit all beings) of the mind and heart through seven forms presented in the form of visualized parables to realize the Self.

As Princess Mandarava said, cherish this mind and heart as the true source through which all wishes are fulfilled.

These stories, like the story of Long Nu grant you miracles in your waking life, Light in your meditation and in the vision of your dreams, encounters with the Buddha, the Divine Mother, Krishna or the Christ. Through swirls of rainbow light, sweet scent and celestial airs, your body speech mind and heart will be drenched with blessings and you will gain realization in a single leap through the strength of your awareness.

THE OUTER, INNER AND SECRET POWERS OF THE WHITE LOTUS

When you read through the following and you reach the story of Long Nu, I want you to read the story three times, once with the outer power, once with the inner power and once with the secret power of your radiant Self.

When you read it the first time, imagine (see, hear and feel) that the outer power of the blessings of all the Christs and Buddhas is purifying all your past karma and that through being totally present IN the story you are granted all the blessings of the body, speech, mind and heart of all the Buddhas and Christs.

Before you read the story a second time, say a simple mantra, like OM or AMEN or OM MANI PADME HUM. By saying this out loud you are purifying the environment as well as yourself and all beings within it. Before you say it, attune yourself with the sacred breath “Breathing in, I am aware I am breathing in, breathing out, I am aware I am breathing out” so you are totally present with the power of the mantra when you say it, sending out its essence to bless all around you.

As you read the story the second time, imagine the inner power of the mantra now becomes the story, purifying your subtle channels, winds (the inner flow of energy) and your creative essence.

The third time, before being present with the sacred breath, saying the mantra and reading the story a third time, imagine the Christ or Buddha or Mary Magdalene or Guan Yin embodied in you. Then say the mantra connecting you to the lineages they embody, which could be the Buddha Amitabha, the Buddha of Limitless Light, Avalokiteshvara/Guan Yin, the Buddha of Compassion and Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal and Princess Mandarava. Then read the story.

As you read the story for the third time, visualize your radiant Self within, imagine the secret power of the story emanating from that Self, bringing full realization and sudden awakening of the innermost levels of the nature of the mind and heart of the Buddha and Christ within you. You are aware of the unceasing energy and compassion of your innate Buddha Self, the realization of the Radiant Nature of your innate Christ Self and the realization of the skylike Essence of your Divine Light.

THE STORY OF LONG NU

I will tell you a story of how I came to a sudden awakening.

It is a very simple story of when my name was Long Nu.

For this story, I want you to imagine that you are a young girl of about 8 years of age and your father is the naga King. You have the capacity to become a Buddha. You have a jewel, a wish fulfilling jewel of inestimable value, equal to all the powers in the cosmos, which you are going to offer to the Buddhas, the Christs.

You hold it out in front of you, the purest offering of your heart and the Buddha accepts it.

You then say to the Bodhisattvas, Archangels and Elders who gather about you “I have just offered my most precious jewel to the Buddhas and Christs of All Worlds and they accepted it immediately. Did that not happen quickly?”

They all reply “Very quickly!”

So you continue “My becoming the Buddha or Christ can happen more quickly than that, as a sudden awakening in any moment.”

Then the entire assembly gathered on Vulture Peak watch as you, the daughter of the naga King suddenly transform and carry out all the practices of the bodhisattva, become a fully enlightened Buddha and Christ and for the sake of all living beings in the ten directions you proclaim the universal Dharma or Teachings.

This is the power of the ultimate dimension.

Right now, in this place, in this very moment, through the Power of Presence, you can instantly realize enlightenment.

You recognize your innate Buddha and Christ nature and in this moment you are already the Buddha and the Christ, you are already what you want to become.

(Now read the story again doing the exercises for the second time…and then the third time…)

THE WISDOM OF ONE SHARED HEART

All the great saints and sages, Masters, gurus and angels speak with the same One Heart.

Pray single-mindedly with faith and devotion to the enlightened form of the Christs, Buddhas, Krishnas and Divine Mothers within you. 

Obtain the empowerment of immortality through the sacred breath you breathe.

Liberate from birth and death through mindful heartful practice, breathing, breathing, walking, walking.

When you speak, speak with Presence and share your personal story of the Radiant Self.

Make enlightened connections in this world and all worlds through the Divine Romance and the Secret Mantra.

We will become endowed with the noble enlightened qualities of the Christs, Buddhas, Krishnas and Divine Mothers.

We will be led to the realm of the Pure Light of Being.

We will mingle indivisibly in the space, the Ocean of the Great Mother.

We carry this sacred flame of enlightenment, the miracle of the inner fire of bliss, within us.

Let it shine.

This is the mantra of the Heart Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Sutra, the Sutra of the Blessed Mother.

ག༌ཏེ༌ག༌ཏེ༌པཱ༌ར༌ག༌ཏེ༌པཱ༌ར༌སཾ༌ག༌ཏེ༌བོ༌དྷི༌སྭཱ༌ཧཱ།

Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi swāhā

Go beyond your self, go beyond what you know, go beyond the breath, empty yourself, bathe yourself in the miracle of the fire and bliss of Divine Love and the Secret Mantra and the Light within you.

Love and soul blessings

Altair and Mother

NOTE : As you know my experience with Long Nu’s consciousness has been a deep long and tender one. I do have the rarest most precious pearl from the deepest ocean, gifted to me from the Heart of Guan Yin, and I have long since offered it back to Her (Avalokiteshvara/Guan Yin). On a retreat some time ago in the deepest meditation after a day of silence Long Nu arose in front of me, held the pearl out in front of her and offered it back to me. It was an astounding experience, to have the Light Body of Long Nu physically present. The picture at the top of this sharing is as similar to what I experienced as I can show you. I have been told many times of the naga consciousness I have present in me and that this is why so many miracles happen and also why I deeply devote everything I do to Our Divine Mother. I can do nothing by myself. I can only do what I see Our Mother doing, for whatever the Mother does, I do also.
