I have said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m so grateful for your existence. This is a very comprehensive video and it was quite moving. Tears of gratitude and humility rolled down my cheeks. I now know why I feel so acquainted with Big Red. (not meant to be derogatory 😊) From the moment I first heard his name, Amitabha, I have felt this. Moreover, I see the presence of him throughout my life even before I even knew about the Buddha. I am now more motivated to practice his Sadhana and with the beautifully voiced sadhana in this video I’m sure I will manage to 😊 I do not exaggerate when I say that this extensive and comprehensive video has been somewhat heart altering. You, my dear dharma friends at Buddha weekly, have brought Sukhavati, Dewachen, a little closer. You have my eternal gratitude and be sure that you’ll merit great things today and in the future. I will involve you in my daily practice so that you will be with us for as long as is needed. You have gained a Dharmapala in me. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Smaller Amitabha Sutra says: "Shariputra, what do you think? Why is this discourse called The discourse of Receiving the Protection of All Buddhas? Shariputra,if good men or good women hear this discourse and keep it in mind,or hear the name of all Buddhas, these good men and good women will all be protected and remembered by all Buddhas, they will all become irreversible in their progress toward unsurpassable, complete awakening, Therefore, Shariputra,all of you should accept with faith these, my words, and the words pronounced by all Buddhas "Namo Amitabha"🙏🙏🙏

Great question, and thank you for your kind comments. Here's a beautiful explanation from Sogyal Rinpoche, that describes all five wisdoms and how they inter-relate and how the mandala is like the mind: "You can also think of the nature of mind like a mirror, with five different powers or 'wisdoms.' Its openness and vastness is the wisdom of all-encompassing space (or dharmadhatu), the womb of compassion (Vairochana). Its capacity to reflect in precise detail whatever comes before it (the mirror-like wisdom) (Akshobhya). Its fundamental lack of any bias toward any impression is the equalizing wisdom (or wisdom of equality) (Ratnasambhava). Its ability to distinguish clearly, without confusing in any way the various different phenomena that arise ( the wisdom of discernment)(Amitabha). And its potential of having everything already accomplished, perfected, and spontaneously present is the all-accomplishing wisdom. (Amoghasiddhi)" Much of Vajrayana practice is focused on discernment wisdom -- which is why visualization is a big part of practice. This will be a good topic for a future video, but, as a concise version: Its the ability to distinguish phenomena as it truly is. Our 'clinging to things' starts early, when we're conditioned, maybe as early as our mother picking us up in the crib and we stop crying -- this is pleasurable. We crave the experience (and others we're conditioned to avoid). Amitabha helps us discern true appearances and experiences from the conditioned ones that are manufactured or imagined. Discernment wisdom also reveals that all beings are equal, and have Buddha Nature and deserving of our compassion and love. Perhaps we can explore this more in-depth in future videos. Hope that helps. We'll cover this topic more in future.

Love the Video! Great content! So, there is only one family left. I dont know much about the Buddha family of Vairochana or was it Samantabhadra or Vajradhara?
Thank you🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏. Yes, Vairochana is left in the center of the Mandala of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. These five Dhyani Buddhas and their Purelands are Sambogakayas (Body of Enjoyment) which is the highest level at which our minds can generally connect and appreciate. Sambhogakayas teach in the Purelands. (Nirmanakayas or Body of Emanation, like Shakyamuni Buddha and Padmasambhava are Buddhas who manifested in our world.) (All these labels and names are for our convenience.) So, the Mandala of the Five Buddhas is a "enjoyment body" not a formless, so we have Vairochana in the center. (Except in some special yidam practices, where the center may be re-assigned for the purpose of that yoga, for example Chakrasamvara practices.) For the Five Cosmic or Pureland Buddhas (from this series we're doing right now), we're describing Sambhogakaya Buddhas. When we talk of Samantabhadra, Vajradhara, Mahavairochana, Vajrasattva (as the ultimate Buddha) these are the Maha or Dharmakaya Cosmic Buddha concepts, or the "ultimate formless" Dharmakaya, even though we do visualize them with colors and shapes to help our minds. 🙏🙏🙏
