Burgeoning Benefits & Happiness
An Aspiration to be Reborn
in the Land of Turquoise Leaves
Sunday, April 28, 2024 11:00 am pacific time
This aspiration prayer was revealed by Dewe Dorje, the dakini from Central Tibet to one of her students from Repkong who attained rainbow body. It is a guided journey through the Pure Land of Mother Arya Tara.
Making aspiration prayers is one of the most powerful ways to dedicate our merit, safeguard the benefit of beings and the teachings, and ripen an affinity toward enlightenment.
Generations of great spiritual masters consider aspirations as an effective way for one to be reborn in a Pure Land and attain complete liberation.
“By exerting yourself in this continually you will be accepted by the supreme deity. And independently of the dying process, manifest the realization of clear light, seizing the stronghold of the dharmakāya.” — Dekyong Wangmo.
