About this talk. In this 140-minute teaching, Lama Zopa Rinpoche instructs practitioners on a tantra practice centred on bodhicitta and the power of dedicated merit. The core visualisation involves purifying sickness, karma, and mental obscurations through nectar and medicine, followed by Chakrasamvara deity yoga, where practitioners transform as the meditational deity and draw all sentient beings into compassion. A distinctive feature is the expanding circles of dedication: first for oneself and family, then for one’s organisation and country, then for all world leaders and those causing harm. Rinpoche teaches that one sincere heartfelt request to a deity fulfils all wishes. He also connects this to practical projects, including the Maitreya statue, as an expression of dedication. For practitioners who have received Chakrasamvara initiation.

And if you want if you have some friend who’s sick or dying or cancer or something like that, you can pray here for quick recovery or good birth or whatever you see. So here, you remember. It is said in it is said in the teachings.
As I mentioned earlier today, you know, one from from the heart, sincere from the heart, one makes a request to a certain deity, all the wishes get fulfilled. So then make offerings and then the respect. Then from a heartfelt request from yeah. Firstly, other wishes all the wishes were fulfilled. For that.
So one become the those who have received the great initiation at the lower vase initiation, lower half. So you become Chakrasamvara. Chakrasamvara is extremely pleased that you’re going to that you’re going to dedicate your life to other sentient beings. And if you’re for others, So have similar place, by this, then absorbed into you, melting light, absorbed into you. And those who have received the initiation, then you think then yourself, you become, then then it’s a yeah. Manifest in the, say, In the aspect, the aspect of Chakrasamvara. Once Then send beams from each pore to the sentient beings, carry the sentient beings into the beams, then they send the crowns and then they purify them and they purify them.
They all become. Every helping becomes. Every animal becomes. So they if you look at the transform, it’s absorbed back to your heart. Then rejoice, how wonderful that I enlightened them as Chakrasamvara.
Yeah. In the heart, that’s okay. So melted into light and then absorbed into the crown of the head. Have a specific recognition. We can do that.
So great initiation of the Lama Tantra. So meditate on Buddha, meditate on visualization. First visualization, you know, cut off and done. So then many would have received Chenrezig — not Chenrezig. Great initiation.
Those who attended the recent retreat, I should know that, so first, but it’s that you know yourself, you your own family members and and the student benefit of this. In the organization, those who give up their life for the Dharma, their service, their house, their worldly concerns. Second time, particularly, in the country, everybody in the world. Third, in the leaders of the world, all the leaders of the world, so the because of war and all these things, whatever is torture, and many things were to the leader, who had the influence of power, but no good heart, you see. So the the and then terrorists, the people the people all the people who have wished to harm others, The Buddhas and and then the third time.
So then the the technique is repeated again and again. So one knows what you know, one knows the three times repeated. Your dedication is called, dedication is for others. They usually the end of the is different sessions. They have different dedications.
And then same dedication, they have different dedication. So that’s one part of the dedication there. Though, do you this is this sequence, nothing definite. So a few few different ones are alternative. So do all the three time, dedicate but three times dedicate.
May anybody who see me may anybody who sees me, touches me, remember, think about. They will talk to me or pray or complain or they they will will dreams of me. they will see me in the portals. Mhmm. I thought whatever connection they make them.
