encouraged us to practice devotion
to the Buddha of Compassion
as the synthesis of all Buddhas {Manipa},
in a NON-sectarian manner {Rime},
while practicing the Essence
of all the Sutra and Tantra
teachings and practices {Tantrika},
And that is why our teacher's full name is,
Lama Jigme Gyatso: Rime Manipa Tantrika
{which translates as}
Ocean of Courage Teacher:
the NON-sectarian Devotee of Chen-re-zig
who practices the essence of all Sutras and Tantras.
No, the "Ocean of Courage"
that our teacher invites us into
is Not the courage to step into the ring with Mike Tyson;
thats just suicide.
No, the "Ocean of Courage" that our teacher invites us into
is Not the courage to control
every thing, being and phenomena in our lives;
that just manipulative.
Yes, the "Ocean of Courage" that our teacher invites us into
is the courage to stand with feet planted firm, heart open wide
and honestly face whatever temporarily manifests
with the Naked Awareness of the Here and Now!
Yes, the "Ocean of Courage" that our teacher invites us into
is the courage to tame our every suffering
and actually Use it to progress upon the path
of Compassion, Insight and Peace!
Yes, the "Ocean of Courage" that our teacher invites us into
is the courage to harness our every joy
and actually Use it to fuel our journey upon the path
of Gratitude, Love and Bliss!
Our precious Lama, Jigme Gyatso: Rime Manipa Tantrika,
who was ordained in the tradition of Mingyour Namkhai Dorje
and Chenrezig, Longchen Rabjampa and Jigme Lingpa,
Tsongkhapa and Manjushri, as well as Chandragomin and
Avalokiteshvara teaches that everyday folks like you and me can
accomplish full enlightenment in just one lifetime
with Out ever abandoning: our Job, Spouse or Children.
