【Grand Master 21th September Great Perfection Dharma news】 Grand Master emphasized that the "Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise" is the foundation of Great Perfection Dharma.

Padmasambhava is the Padmakumara born from five colours lotus in Western India Lake Dhanakosha. He is the Vajra Nirmanakaya (應生佛) of three mystic things, body, speech and mind of Amitabha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Sakyamuni Buddha. Ananda was instructed by Sakyamuni Buddha to transmit dharma to Padmasambhava. When Anada (阿難尊者) gave ordinations to Padmasambhava, Dharanimdhara Bodhisattva (持地佛母) came to present Kasaya (robe), all buddhas also appeared to bless.

Padmasambhava attained eight types of Outer Tantras (外密), eight types of Inner Tantras (內密), the fundamental achievement of Tathagata Amitayus supreme siddhi (根本成就無量壽如來無上悉地), five buddha wisdom attainment (證五佛智), and Adharma Tathagata (阿達爾嘛如來), has no difference.

When propagating and transmit dharma in India and Nepal, he has also practice under various teachers, proficient in astronomical geography and Pancavidya (Five sciences) (天文地理五明之學), attained the three yoga, meditate in an old stupa (古塔婆) in Nepal, Padmasambhava accepted the invation from Tibet king, Trisong Detsen, to propagate dharma from India to Tibet, he is also the first patriarch or founder of Tibet Vajrayana/Tantric. Tibet Vajrayana/Tantric is still being carried forward today, it is Padmasambhava who originate and devise the foundation, and is also the blessings of Padmasambhava.

Padmasambhava transmitted all of the Red Sect (Nyingma Sect) Vajrayana Buddhism to me (His Holiness Lian-Sheng Living Buddha). I asked Padmasambhava: "Where is Padmasambhava?"

"Sentient beings from ten directions are my body."

"I don't understand?"

"I bear all of the karma and distress of all sentient beings on behalf of them, would it not be all sentient beings is my body."

Equality, equality, everyone appeared the same as me, is Padmasambhava. Today, I undertake the Tathagata family business, Padmasambhava and myself have correspond/associate with each other, Padmasambhava lives in my heart, I have made a supreme Bodhi vow, who will save the sentient beings when I don't save the sentient beings? The above is 【extracted from the corpus of Lian-Sheng Living Buddha's works 《The Enlightenment of Root Guru (上師的證悟)》

On 21^th September 2013, Lian-Sheng Living Buddha presided over the group cultivation of 【Padmasambhava (蓮華生大士)】 Yidam (personal deity) and gave dharma talk of "The Nine Stages Dharma of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen)" in America Seattle Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple. His Holiness specially wore a red Dragon robe, to represent the union with the Yidam. After the group cultivation, His Holiness besought Yidam Padmasambhava blessings earnestly: eliminate the karma of all sentient beings, to have own's calamities to be perished and illness karma is cured, wisdom and good fortunes are increased, being respected and loved, bless disciples to cultivate diligently, so that all of the sentient beings have a higher attainment status, ……. Then, His Holiness gave an introduction of the group cultivation Yidam, admired and praised Padmasambhava: He propagated dharma in Tibet for 50 years, established Samye Monastery (also known as 《Anabhoga (effortless) Monastery (任運寺)》), he is the greatest patriarch/founder of Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, and is well known as 《Guru Rinpoche (古魯仁波切)》. His seed-syllable is 【Xie (些)】, which means Padmasambhava's main root is from Western Amitabha Tathagata. We know of Guru Rinpoche's great merits from the biography of Padmasambhava, the four sects of Vajrayana honor him, disciples who are able to unite with him, is extremely excellent. Because he is root guru, and also a Yidam/Istha-deva (personal deity 本尊), and is also a Dharmapala (Dharma-defender). He subdued the deities of Bonpo sect to become the Dharmapala of Buddhism.  And the Samye Monastery (Samye Gompa 桑耶寺) was the first monastery in Tibet.

Furthermore, His Holiness also noticed that the numbers of disciples participating in today's group cultivation is greater than usual and therefore expressed: "There are more people today, because apart from the group cultivation of 【Padmasambhava Yidam Dharma (蓮師本尊法)】, there will also be a 【all-encompassing/collection of Kalachakra Empowerment (時輪金剛總持灌頂)】, everyone would probably like to have a complete empowerment with one empowerment transmission. Therefore the number of people is more this time!" His Holiness spoke humorously, and the disciples of the non-empty seats site applause even more enthusiastically!

After that, His Holiness continued to talk about the foremost foundation of 【The Nine Stages Dharma of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen 大圓滿九次第)】: "Due to the cultivation of 【Great Perfection Dharma (大圓滿法)】 still inseparable from the lung (wind/breath/chi/energy 氣), tsa (channels 脈), tigle (inner essence drops 明點), therefore disciples must practice the vital energy (breath/energy flow/chi) and achieve the consummation of dharma cultivation,  【Togal (脫噶), Trekcho (澈卻)】 can only be cultivated when intact. Therefore does disciples know whether their energy/wind/chi cultivation is enough? Whether the middle channel is open or not? Whether the cultivation of descending, raising, holding and dispersing is sufficient? So that to be able to cultivate 【Togal (脫噶)】 to see illumination/light!" Therefore Vajrayana disciples must not skip over or overstep when practicing the breathing exercise, must practice step by step in accordance with the sequence required.

Grand Master emphasized: "If you don't even have root energy, how to open or clear the middle channel." Grand Master demonstrate the vibration of chakra/energy channel, and cause the disciples to applaud thunderously! In regards to the excellence of Vajrayana breathing exercise, Grand Master also disclosed: "Inhale deeply once, is able to jump far and run fast. The real Vajrayana disciple, the whole body is full of energy, the whole body of Milarepa is like a hot balloon, below is kundalini and therefore is able to vacated! Not afraid of cold and hot, because the energy is enough, and able to fight with snow and ice."

"We are mainly cultivating instead of having sideshow. Have you all implemented the 【Nine Round Buddha Breathing Practic】? This is the foundation method of 【Great Perfection Dharma (大圓滿法)】, if one does not practice this foundation method, why do we talk about Esoteric Buddhism, what 【Great Perfection Dharma (Dzogchen)】 are we talking about?"

"The inhaling and exhaling air that we practice normally, and 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise (九節佛風)】 is the complete breathing/respiration." His Holiness reiterated the essentials of 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】 cultivation and also demonstrate personally, the disciples were very focused in watching Grand Master's demonstrations. His Holiness even use the little finger tip to block a nostril, instruct disciples to visualize Yidam (personal deity) at the front, the white light enter nostril through the left channel or right channel of disciples respectively." Please refer to the His Holiness Living Buddha's books for detailed introduction, 【The Dharma of True Buddha Dharma (真佛法中法)】 and 【The Secrets of True Buddha secret (真佛秘中秘)】.

Grand Master indicated: "Every round of the 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】 cultivation, disciples must master the key point of 【fine, slow, long (細慢長)】. The so-called 【long】 is 【complete respiration (完全呼吸)】. This takes six month to a year to master. And the cultivation of 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】, among them, there are three air/breath that flow through the midde channel (中脈)."

In regards to the benefits of cultivating 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】, Grand Master said: "Regardless whether it is the cultivation of right channel or left channel, as long as one knows how to practice this method, white light entering the body and then followed by black air being emitted, is to purify all of the own self karma. Purify your karma and disturbances/troubles by air."

"When able to manage comfortably, the mind can be used to control the breath, then can visualize the Yidam (personal deity) at the front, in fact, only use the nostril to breath. The so-called 【complete respiration (完全呼吸)】 is ～ the breath get to navel chakra (resides n the upper abdomen 臍輪). Just like we take a deep breath in the forest, and disciples is to practice the breath meditation to unobstruct the central channel (中脈)."

"We need to cultivate the 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise (九節佛風)】 first and then followed by entering into Samadhi (三昧地),  this is to practice the nine times of concentration of mind. 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】 can cure: the usual scattered thoughts, it is a 【mental unity technique (精神統一術)】 if practice everyday, the cultivation of inner dharma will not be good if the practice is poorly done. This dharma practice can help disciples to have enough vital energy imperceptibly, the complete respiration will cause the mind to be better."

"【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】 is the safest method of breathing meditation cultivation, and has no side effects. Over limit cultivatation of Treasure Vase Breathing Practice (Kundika prana 寶瓶氣) will have red eyes, headache, toothache. Disciples will be very healthy if cultivate 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】 everyday."

In regards to the three tips of sleeping, Grand Master said: "1) Have no thoughts, have no issues, discard the trivial distractions. 2) The body is relax, do not have any fixed sleeping positions. 3) Breath needs to flow smoothly, practice regularly and cultivate the 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】 at any time, will assists in sleeping easily." "Buddhism always mention 【samatha-vipa (tranquillity/stilling of thought (止觀)】，【Cessation (止)】 is to remove delusions, cultivate 【contemplation (觀)】 if not able to 【cease (止)】, and 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise】 will help you to concentrate (精神統一)." "Cultivating 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise (九節佛風)】 will not have a cold, is able to control the breath anytime, the whole body is full of air/breath. 【Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise (九節佛風)】 is the foundation of 【Great Perfection Dharma (大圓滿法)】. It  is a true dharma, every disciple would have to practice six months to a year. The key is: 【Fine (細)】 will be delicate (精緻), 【slow (慢)】 would be in peace and thoughtless,  【long (長)】 mind is focus to allow the breath/air to enter into the left and right channel (左右脈)."

Grand Master concluded that: "Everyone cannot be moody everyday, Grand Master has never had a fine while driving in the United States, abiding by rules is the same as adhering to precepts."

Due to cultivating the "Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise" will calm the disciples emotion, disciple will attain achievement if the disciple cultivate persistently, like adhering to precepts, comply with the daily homework, and pursue unremittingly.

Grand Master has again emphasized that "Nine Cycle Buddha Breathing Exercise" is the foundation dharma, to enlighten everyone, so that all of the Vajrayana disciples to self-examine whether they have a strong foundation or not, it is excellent and successful, all of the disciples gain the benefit of the the dharma, all is auspicious!
