MINDFULNESS OF LOVE LIGHT AND COMPASSION

MINDFULNESS OF LOVE LIGHT AND COMPASSION 

The key to our path is to be mindful of love, light and compassion with every step, in whatever form or formlessness this takes. 

It could be Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, Metatron and Avalokiteshvara Guan Yin, Krishna and Parvati or Light in Union with Love seated on the Lotus flower of compassion. 

By constant mindfulness of such divine Energies, our Heart is transformed and delivers us from all distractions, suffering and danger. 

Mindful practice in this way allows us to discern and act wisely, to respond appropriately, and to know what to do or what not to do, as the occasion arises. 

Looking deeply into the nature of things, through the Alchemy Of Light and Sound, allows us to see all living beings with love, light and compassion, as Buddhas and Christs, and all things as part of the One Universal Mandala where clarity and loving kindness serve as a protection for us in all circumstances. 

Compassion is always informed by wisdom, prajna, and understanding. 

So our practice of compassion begins with looking deeply, vipassana, at any person or situation. 

If we are in conflict with someone, we can look deeply into the nature of their own suffering, and when we see how deep it is we do not want them to suffer anymore.

We can accept them as they are and try to help them simply by refusing to add any more suffering to their ‘plate’. 

PRACTICE 

Small acts of empathy, affection, kindness, love and understanding all enhance wisdom, prajna. 

Here are some simple practices  

1) Mindful seeing – being able to see all beings as Buddhas or Christs takes Practice. One simple practice is to keep a picture in your purse or in your phone of the Buddha or Guan Yin or a Bodhisattva Archangel or Elder or any divine being including your partner or yourself if they inspire deep compassion in you and inspire you to be mindful of love of others which in turn fills your own being with love.

By taking good care of yourself you naturally take good care of others.

Think about driving home in your car to see a little child.

If you know you are going to see that beautiful child then you will drive carefully and mindfully and naturally take care of yourself on the way home in order to see that child.

So it is with life.

If we really knew every being was a divine child, just like us, we would take exceptional care of our consciousness, awareness, mind and heart in order to be able to see them and all beings as divine. 

2) Mindful hearing – being able to hear sacred names, chants, songs and mantras is a beautiful way of awakening the energy of compassion in our hearts and being able to know all beings as Buddhas or Christs.

Find a name or chant or song or mantra that you can make your own like OM MANI PADME HUM or the Lord’s Prayer or GURU RINPOCHE or another.

Say it every day at special times and in special places to awaken loving kindness and remind you that this same universal hum of loving kindness is alive in each and every person you meet even though they may not be aware of it.

Recalling the sounds of compassion often helps you to rebirth continuously the energy of compassion and love in your heart.

Hearing mindfulness of love often also births Amrita or the Nectar Of Love into your being quite naturally and you will feel the beauty of the divine realm gently melting into your heart. 

THE LIGHT IN LIFE

Avalokiteshvara Guan Yin has reminded me all my life through visions and dreams and direct connections that the little things in life are the real Chintamani Stone, the real Pearl. 

The small steps we take each day such as the fervent and devotional prayer to Our Father we have said since childhood is like a drop of nectar in the ocean of infinite love light and compassion, washing away fear and bathing us in bliss. 

We may not notice how the nectar has been accumulating until one day there is an explosion of Light in our Heart and we realize that the old saying “Before Enlightenment chop wood, After Enlightenment chop wood” also refers to just how important the smallest actions we take each day are when they are done with mindfulness of love and light. 

The more present and aware we are in these actions from moment to moment the more they become portals through which we can truly open magic. 

Let go of what you think Enlightenment should look like and surrender. 

Be open to what is arising within you. 

Honor the Beauty and Love, the power and guidance that comes from your own spiritual practice. 

Be free to meditate in a new way, to work with a different chant or prayer, to heal with love and unity as you are guided. 

Listen to your heart. 

Trust your heart that already has the seed of Enlightenment within it. 

Follow your inner guidance, the path of pathlessness, the luminous gateway to divine realization. 

Breathing in “I am filled with divine love, light and compassion”

Breathing out “I fill all beings with divine love, light and compassion” 

Continue breathing that way whenever you remember throughout the day, allowing the Light to enter and allowing the Flame of your Enlightened Heart to be the Light of the World.

COMPASSION FOR ALL WORLDS AS ONE

COMPASSION FOR ALL WORLDS AS ONE

As I was walking in the Japanese gardens today I experienced each step as a world, a flower, a heart, that we can embrace in our compassion with every breath, offering each breath as a prayer to all beings. With each step a flower blooms, a world is liberated, a heart is free.

To truly activate this deity yoga of the Christ, Krishna or Buddha within us, we explore this freedom through both the experience of compassion and the experience of emptiness or surrender on our paths, for ourselves and all beings, on this world and all worlds.

We dive into compassion for all worlds.

The Thirty Seven Practices of Compassion for a Bodhisattva are mentioned here, as a guide to cultivating the compassion necessary to embrace all worlds with the love of a Divine Mother.

Guan Yin is the Protector of All Worlds as the Mother of Compassion both here on earth, and in all physical, astral and causal realms.

In the Lotus Sutra, She is described as the

one of the true gaze

the one of the pure gaze

the one of the gaze of broad and great wisdom

the one of the compassionate gaze

and the one of the gaze of goodwill.

The true gaze is the one capable of contemplating the true nature of all things, satya, on all the worlds.

How are we to know the true nature of all things, on all the worlds?

Truly, when we contemplate inter-being, that all nature is in this body, and this body is of the earth, and this earth is of the stars, we see that every world is in our body and every body is a star. When we are calm and clear we have the capacity to gaze upon all worlds and all dimensions because we know that the stars are also the light that is within us. This is satya.

The pure gaze is the one capable of self-purification, visuddhi vimala, who can become the light for the sake of the world, just as the cloud can become rain for the sake of the world. This is visuddhi vimala.

The gaze of great wisdom, mahaprajna, is the realisation of Divine Mother in every body’s heart, mahaprajnaparamita, the great wisdom that has the power to bring us to the other shore, the shore of safety, the shore of non-fear, the shore of liberation, by surrendering to the Grace of Divine Mother, by emptying ourself of all but Her.

The compassionate gaze, karuna, is the establishment within us of loving-kindness for ourselves and others, a nectar that falls like rain on the fires of suffering and afflictions.

The gaze of good will, loving kindness, maitri, is the capacity to transform ourself into a Bodhisattva, an archangel, an elder, who regards all beings with the eyes of love.

This transformation is something we can do, today, starting with ourself.

“Breathing in this breath of love, I breathe in peace.

Breathing out this breath of love, I give my peace to you.”

In that moment of presence and awareness, of the movement and stillness in our breathing, we are that Bodhisattva.

The mind and heart can go in a thousand directions

But on this beautiful path in life I have chosen I walk in peace

With each step a gentle wind blows

With each step a flower blooms

I often mindfully and heartfully walk watching the flowers bloom under my feet.

A very simple beautiful practice to try at any time of your day.

Be the Christ, Krishna, the Buddha Within.

You carry this threefold flame of enlightenment within you.

Let it shine.
