The Practice of Noble Chenrezig

It is good to do this practice when your channels are aligned, but you can also do it while walking.

Begin by remembering in your life an event of absolute, sincere and unequivocal love, that you will have felt for a single entity because it is in duality, but this is a point of departure.

Anyone who has had a baby can usually remember the baby from her. not an adolescent, because that's when things become more complex, but the memory of his son when he was a baby, that sweet confidence of a baby reaching out to touch his face. 

The Tibetan monks usually use their mother, but many are separated from their mothers when they are 4 or 5 years old, so they have memories of her as warm and loving. But sometimes the example of the mother does not work for Westerners.

So go for your baby, as she or he was when he was a baby. And if you don't have kids, use your kitty or your puppy or your opossum.

Take your memory of the purest and most unmistakable emotion of love you have. Not your lover; that too is too complex.

Take that simple pure love to the center of your heart, where there is a lotus bud. the cocoon is closed, your heart is closed, because you have been kicked in the heart in your life, all we've been kicked in the heart in our lifetimes.

So bring back that memory of this pure and simple love, and let it water the lotus blossom in your heart.

You water it with that feeling of love, and let it flourish.

The lotus in your heart begins to open and as it opens, each petal elongates into a ray of light. White light, made of all the colors spun together, the way all colors turn to white.

By the time you can see the center of your lotus when it starts to bloom, you will see that there is an HRI symbol in the middle and that the mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG surrounds it, in the clockwise direction. It was always there; Before, you just couldn't see it. You can say OM MANI PADME HUNG Or OM MANI PADME HUNG HRI Or a mix of both.

Vocalize the mantra, as this activates the throat chakra, and this is the chakra of the intention. You can also sing it and sing it with the melody you want. The HRI is the white color that makes up all the colors, the syllables OM MA NI PAD ME HUNG are in the colors I described above. So this ray extends to one thousand beings, to the beings you love, your friends, your enemies, and strangers, expanding another thousands to beings within, without, near and far, past and future.

It is possible that you know perfectly well that each sentient being throughout time and space was once your baby or your kitten or your puppy or your possum. You felt that love for them although right now they are your bad boss. And that is a temporary phenomenon; they will be something else next time.

The rays of light, of love, flow and touch the closed hearts of the lotus bud of the thousands sentient beings, who are closed because they have all received a kick in the heart sometime.

The rays of light, love, begin to relax them and the buds begin to open. The rays of light, which are love, continue to spread outward, up to thousands beings, watering the lotuses in their hearts, the petals lengthening, the rays of light reaching other thousands and thousands more beings (including you), and then those thousands and thousands of lotuses are watered, the petals open and they stretch out in rays of light to touch thousands upon thousands upon thousands of beings and beyond.

The rays of light continue, proliferating, becoming so many rays of light, all interconnected, so that there are no longer nodes of individual beings as the light is so bright.

The entire universe is so full of this transparent, clear light of all colors that you cannot see "you" or "them".

The light grows and grows, filling all space and time; light is vaster than the continuum space time. It's everything.

This is thousand-armed Chenrezig.

That's all there is.
