 The sacred month of Saga Dawa is traditionally held in high regard for the practice of dharma and meritorious deeds. The merit of any good deed performed during this special month is considered to be multiplied a million times.
Saga Dawa is one of the four major annual Buddhist festivals. It commemorates three important events in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni: his birth, enlightenment, and Mahaparinirvana, according to Tibetan traditions. Saga Dawa falls on the fourth month of the Tibetan lunar year, and its fifteenth day is considered especially auspicious within this sacred month. The full moon of Taurus, also known as the Wesak Festival or Vesak (from Sanskrit), or Saga Dawa in Tibetan, is one of the most significant celebrations within the Buddhist and spiritual calendar in general. This date, which varies each year according to the lunar calendar, coincides with the full moon of May, when the Sun is in the sign of Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio. What is commemorated during the Wesak Festival? Birth of Buddha It commemorates the birth of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became Buddha. According to tradition, he was born in the Lumbini forest (present-day Nepal) under a full moon. Buddha's Enlightenment It also celebrates the day Siddhartha attained enlightenment under the fig tree (Bodhi), becoming Buddha, the "Awakened One," who achieved complete understanding of the nature of life, suffering, and liberation. Buddha's Death or Parinirvana It commemorates his entry into Parinirvana, the final state of total liberation after his physical death. Spiritual and Symbolic Significance Portal of Light and Blessings According to esoteric and Buddhist traditions, a portal of high-vibrational cosmic energies opens during the full moon of Taurus. The Buddha is said to descend spiritually into the Himalayan valley, showering blessings upon the Earth and all humanity, assisted by Christ (in an ecumenical context). Spiritual Renewal and Service to the World It is an opportunity for group meditation, service, and the invocation of light, love, and goodwill for all humanity. Many spiritual groups conduct meditations to anchor these energies in the collective human consciousness. Union of East and West Wesak is also seen as a time of fusion of Buddhist (wisdom) and Christian (love) energies, seeking to inspire humanity toward a life of greater compassion, cooperation, and peace. Important Wesak Symbols Water Blessed by the Buddha It is believed that during the Wesak ceremony, the waters are charged with spiritual energy and blessed, then shared as a symbol of purification and healing. Global Group Meditation Across the planet, millions of people join in synchronous meditations, generating a collective field of spiritual elevation. In the Tibetan tradition, it is customary to accumulate a large number of recitations of the mantra of immeasurable love and compassion, called the Chenrezig mantra, for the benefit of all beings. This mantra is Om Mani Padme Hung (pronounced Om Mani Peme Hung by Tibetans), also known as the mani mantra.

 hI have wanted to record the mantra of Sangye Menla, the Medicine Buddha, for a long time, and today is perfect because according to the Tibetan calendar tomorrow is the day of the Medicine Buddha and Tara. Through the recitation of this mantra and the practice of the meditation of Sangye Menla, may all beings be freed from physical and mental illnesses (the root of physical illnesses) and from the fundamental root of all suffering: ignorance.
This is the healing mantra of Sangye Menla, medicine Buddha: Tayata om bekhadze bekhadze maha bekhadze radza samungate soha : 👉 https://music.dusumsangtong.com/medicine_Buddha_Menla_mantra You can recite the mantra for a while visualizing that healing rays of light from the Menla Buddha reach the people you know who are sick or suffering from pain or difficulties and they are free from all suffering. You can also meditate on the Medicine Buddha when you are sick and visualize that the rays of light from the Buddha cleanse and free the affected areas of your body or any illness that you or the beings you visualize have.  Siddharta Gautama was a human being who achieved enlightenment (or Awakening, or Buddhahood) through the practice of meditation with the aim of being able to help other beings free themselves from suffering by also reaching that awakened state of mind; from that time on he was known as Shakyamuni Buddha.
Its message of peace, omniscience, motivation and solidarity endures to this day, being the fourth month of the Tibetan lunar calendar, known as 'Saga Dawa' (in Tibetan) or 'Vesak' or 'Wesak' (in Sanskrit), very important in Buddhism: the birth, enlightenment and paranirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha is commemorated, and the result of all the actions we perform is considered to be greatly multiplied. That is why in this period the practice of Chenrezig is especially carried out and the mantra 'Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hung' is accumulated with the intention of accumulating a large amount of virtue for the benefit of all beings. If you want to join in reciting mantras in the great accumulation of Chenrezig Om Mani Padme Hung mantras during these days of Saga Dawa at the Dag Shang Kagyu Buddhist center (Panillo, Spain), this is the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIKxphlxb3BUhY6T_PU71YrqvY_2Ydve934ZlIjgd3bbqWcA/viewform As the lamas always remember, it is a short mantra, very easy to remember, only 6 syllables, but very powerful, and very beneficial: Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hung Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hung Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hung...

"Lama" is a title for a teacher of the Dharma in Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetan word "Lama" means "highest principle", and less literally "highest mother" or "highest parent" to show close relationship between teacher and student. “Khyenno” means “please think of me”. With this, we remember the lama again and again, constantly keeping in mind the positive qualities of the lama and praying to him or her.

Sanskrit is considered not a human language, but a divine one. If we think about it, each language comes from the energy of each country (German is impregnated with German energy, Italian with Italian energy, etc). But Sanskrit came from this other energy, a divine, or enlightened energy. So when you recite the mantras, when you make the sounds of the mantra, for example "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha", there is a blessing just in those sounds: the Sanskrit alphabet is a mantra.
 Green Tara "Both women and men have the same spiritual potential and the same capacities for realization.
A long time ago, Tara was a woman who made the promise to attain Buddhahood to benefit beings infinitely. Green Tara and Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha mantra. The meaning of divinity in Tibetan Buddhism25/2/2023  Tara statue at Dag Shang Kagyu buddhist center in Panillo, Spain. Green Tara mantra OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA was the first mantra I learned. The psychotherapist who helped me a few years ago taught me. He recommended reciting him everything I could between the sessions, and since I wanted to be better, I thought: "I have nothing to lose, let's give it a try". I recited it as I traveled by subway, while showering and whenever I could.
"🔸In Tibetan Buddhism, the divinity is not an external, worldly deity, but a divinity that arises within us, it comes from our interior because it is our true nature, the state of Buddha, and therefore establishing a connection with it is of great benefit . By reciting the mantra Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha we create a connection with Tara, which is our true nature, thus pacifying afflictive emotions and obstacles that we have. Purifying negativities the last day of the Tibetan year with Vajrasattva 100 syllables mantra21/2/2023 Last night, before Losar day (Tibetan new year), music came to my mind while singing 100 syllabes of Dorje Sempa mantra (Vajrasattva mantra) with some rhythm inspired by the sound of the mantra.
I decided to record it before going to bed. I thought: "It seems a good idea to work on this today, so I can purify obscurations singing the Vajrasattva mantra in the last day of the Tibetan year 2149, and start tomorrow the new year 'very clean'". Why not? |
