Jambhala

The Five Jambhala

 

JAMBHALA

Jambhala are incarnations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. They are the Bodhisattvas who can give blessing of wealth, health and longevity.

Chenrezig taught us, as disciples of the Buddha, we must run The Six Paramita :

The First Paramita is Dana-Paramita that means Giving,

The Second Paramita is Santi-Paramita that means Patience,

The Third Paramita is Virya-Paramita that means Spirit,

The Fourth Paramita is Sila-Paramita that means Ethics / Moral,

The Fifth Paramita is Dhyana-Paramita that means Meditation,

The Sixth Paramita is Prajna-Paramita that means Wisdom,

Appropriate to The Law of Karma, law of cause and effect, we are taught to plant if we want to reap, we must carry out Dana-Paramita in order to get blessing from Jambhala.

Dana-Paramita is the act of giving, giving is not only in the form of fund.  We can give our time and our energy to help the others, helping the others also means giving.  Pray for the fortune of  the others is also a giving, therefore do not be afraid to do something to give because Jambhala have promised to give blessings to the people who love to give.


The Five Jambhala

There are five Jambhala differentiated by the colour of Their Bodies and the light that They emitted. They are Yellow Jambhala, Red Jambhala, Black Jambhala, White Jambhala and Green Jambhala. It is written in the scripture that there are Five Jambhala in riding horse position.  The Yellow Jambhala rides yellow horse, The Red Jambhala rides red horse, The Black Jambhala rides black horse, The White Jambhala rides white horse and The Green Jambhala rides green horse.

Every Jambhala have Their own Mantra, below are the Mantra of Jambhala:

The Mantra of Yellow Jambhala is :     OM JAMBHALA JALEN DRAYE SVAHA

The Mantra of Red Jambhala is :     OM JAMBHALA JALEN DRAYE DHANAM MEDEHI HRIH DAKINI JAMBHALA SAMBHARA SVAHA

The Mantra of Black Jambhala is :     OM JAMBHALA JALEN DRAYE BASHU DHARINI SVAHA

The Mantra of White Jambhala is :     OM PADMA KRODA ARYA JAMBHALA HRIH DAYA HUM PHAT

The Mantra of Green Jambhala is :     OM KARMA JAMBHALA AH SVAHA

All of the Jambhala have promised to give wealth to us if we love to do The Six Paramita, especially The First Paramita  also diligent to chant Their Mantras. Chanting Jambhala’s Mantra would be more benefit if we have received Oral Transmissions from a teacher who holds The Teaching Lineage.

Dharma

The Karma (2)

 THE KARMA (2)

KARMA is like fruit hanging on the tree branch, wait for maturity at the right time and the right conditions  and when the fruit is ripe, it will fall to hit the ground below, as hard as the fruit hit the ground,depending on the weight of the fruit itself. How heavy Karma bear fruit, the painful suffering that we must feel depending on the weight of KARMA we have done no more and no less.

Then what should we do, if there is no way to remove KARMA, we can not remove KARMA at a glance, but we can make it lighter. Make a lot of virtue, although doing only slightest of virtue, if done with sincere, good KARMA will be larger. Like a glass of salt water is very salty, if coupled with fresh water until the glass is no longer able to accommodate and the water will be spilled out from the glass.  over time the salt water will flow out  and was left in the glass is only just fresh water, as that is what we should do with our lives, knows how much bad KARMA we do, and now in this life.

When we meet with this law of Buddha, we should have to do a lot of virtue to reduce our bad KARMA and remember, if there is bad KARMA that happens to us, do not respond.

When we can not accept, upset, resentful and angry, there’s bad KARMA newly created, it may sound very difficult to run, how many of us can stay well and make friends with people who steal, cheat, slander us or hurt us, but have we ever tried to survive no reply, trying to control the feelings of disappointment and anger ?

try it just once, shut our mouths tightly when we want to be angry, we will find out, defeat ourselves are more difficult than defeating ten thousand enemies.

Buddha Bless You.
