Letter from the Editors
In this issue we focus on Vajrasattva,
one of the most important deities in Vajrayana Buddhism. As Vajrasattva's
energy can purify all impurities, Tantric practitioners begin their
spiritual path with His practice.
Another powerful way to eliminate negative karma is with the Buddha
Shakyamuni Practice. This is not a widely known practice, but
it can allow one to clearly see one's past lives and to understand
the resulting karma.
Another way to purify your past debts is to maintain a spirit of
equanimity in the face of difficult circumstances as a prisoner
in Illinois recounts.
During the weekend of the Annual
1996 Bardo Ceremony, Grand Master Lu gave several talks, two
of which are summarized in this journal. Also, in attendance of
the Bardo ceremony was H.H. Ganden Tripa Rinpoche, spiritual head
of the Tibetan Gelugpa Sect, who also gave a talk which is also
briefly listed.
