☆ Short talk by H.E. Garchen Rinpoche

 

Tashi Delek to all of you, Sanghas.

 

To engage in study is really excellent. Actually, whatever (practice) it is in Secret Mantra—be it deity meditation or mantra recitation—one's body is like an unripened seed. When through Bodhicitta it ripens: the body ripens into the form of the deity; speech ripens into mantra; and the mind ripens into the bodicitta. If the seed of a flower ripens, then perfect abundant qualities will come about.

 

If one does not meet with the Holy Dharma, however, then it is like that seed goes to waste. Thus, study and discussion are incredibly important. The Buddha does not lie about the "blessings of the Dharma"; if one really practices it, the blessings are undeceiving.

 

Tashi Delek to you all!
