With love, compassion, wisdom, joy, and equanimity, Chakrasamvara Temple practices the Four Limitless Prayers in order to manifest these qualities. To achieve this highest intention, Chakrasamvara Temple offers:
Four Limitless Prayers
“SEM CHAN THAM CHA DE WA DANG DE WAI GYU DANG DAN PAR GYUR CHIG. SEM CHAN THAM CHA DUG NGAL DANG DUG NGAL GYI GYU DANG DRAL WAR GYUR CHIG.
SEM CHAN THAM CHA DUG NGAL ME PAI DE WA DANG MI DRAL WAR GYUR CHIG.
SEM CHAN THAM CHA NYE RING CHHAG DANG NYI DANG DRAL WAI TANG NYOM LA NA PAR GYUR CHIG.”
“MAY ALL SENTIENT BEINGS HAVE THE HAPPINESS AND THE CAUSE OF HAPPINESS;
MAY ALL BE FREED FROM SORROW AND THE CAUSE OF SORROW;
MAY ALL NEVER BE SEPARATED FROM THE BLISS THAT IS SORROWLESS;
MAY ALL LIVE IN EQUANIMITY, FREE FROM ATTACHMENT AND AVERSION”
Chakrasamvara Temple sponsors and supports hosting the highest quality Teachers and Practitioners. The Lamas, Rinpoches, and Geshe La are trained in ALL lineages (Bon, Nigma, Shakya, Kayu, and Gelug). Teachers in other modalities and diverse fields (Akashic Records, Jiu Jitsu, Qi Gong, Reiki Tummo, and Yoga) are highly respected.
Chakrasamvara Temple's ultimate intention is for you to receive ALL the blessings through healing, practices, and prayers. Use ALL of them, so that when you leave the Temple, footprints will be left to show that you took steps to move forward, dissolving negative actions, negative emotions, and negative karma that no longer serve you.
As you continue to diligently work on yourself by utilizing the tools of practicing, praying, and receiving healing, your karmas and obstacles will be removed, transformed, and dissolved, enabling you to transcend and become One with Emptiness, Compassion, and Consciousness — the perfect wisdom. This allows you to fully understand that E=MC², where the state of Emptiness is achieved by having a mind of consciousness and a mind of compassion. Emptiness is the path to complete liberation, where you will no longer leave footprints.
Different modalities and practices are offered to awaken your consciousness. Simultaneous work on all of these modalities and healings will help intensify your spiritual awakening and provide a faster and more sufficient path.
Yoga awakens you to loosen up and remove the negative emotions that cause obstacles on your path. Loosen yourself up to flow like water, so you can take on all shapes and forms. It fires you up to uncover the layers of negative emotions and recognize your true identity through self-love and independence.
Tibetan Buddhism makes the connection to Emptiness through the recitation of the Heart Sutra.
The Sadhana practice involves being present. When all negative emotions and obscurations are removed, this practice fires you up to connect to your original state of Buddha nature. Then you can self-generate to become One with Emptiness, the Buddha, for the sake of all sentient beings.
As you self-generate and practice to become a female or male Buddha, reciting the King of Noble Prayer will help you practice using the Bodhisattva way, the compassionate practice, opening your heart to help pray for those who are sick or dying.
Becoming one with Emptiness, self-generated in becoming the female or male Buddha, extends the power of the Bardo Prayer, helping non-form souls that are stuck in the intermediate state. These souls, due to a traumatic death or before their karmic contract ends, remain in limbo, caught between the human realm and nirvana or Emptiness. This prayer manifests a bridge that helps souls go home to God, Emptiness, or the Buddha's land of bliss.
