August 20, 2005 Visit at Dhagpo Dargye Ling, lay retreat centre for short retreats This morning, Gyalwa Karmapa paid a visit Dhagpo Dargye Ling. The stupa which is in the process of being build was consecrated as well as the substances which are destined to fill it. Karmapa then met with adepts who are involved in the functioning of the centre. He gave blessing to the numerous visitors. Some of the instructions Gyalwa Karmapa gave to the adepts: In the afternoon Gyalwa Karmapa gave the empowerment of four armed Chenrezig.
The Bodhisattva vows mark the beginning of the path of a Bodhisattva. They are the certain cause for the realisation of enlightenment. The seed of enlightenment is firmly planted in our mind stream, and we make it grow by incessant training. This means being mindful of what it means to be a Bodhisattva, and put great effort into developing positiv actions and turn away of any kind of negative attitude. If we happen to make mistakes and act in a harmful way, it is important to be aware of it, to regret it and to take the commitment to not do it again. Loving kindness is the wish that all beings engage in wholesome conduct which is the cause of real happiness. Carpooling
