The existence of the complete Buddhist path to
enlightenment in our world depends solely upon those who have generated both
the intellectual understanding of the teachings and the realizations of the
path within their minds. Those who have done this are the lineage lamas. During
this practice, we invoke all the lamas of the graduated path lineage beginning
with Shakyamuni Buddha himself, extending to our present direct teachers who
have shown us the path. We pay homage to them, make offerings, and request each
of them to please bless our minds with the same realizations that they
themselves have generated. By offering sincere, heartfelt requests, we make our
minds ripe to receive the full blessings of this precious lineage and quickly
actualize the realizations we need to attain enlightenment. If we wish to
experience realizations quickly, the practice of Lama Chopa Jorcho is
indispensable.
Practicing this Guru Puja, which is an
integration of the three deities, makes it much easier to achieve enlightenment
in a brief life of this degenerated time. Doing this practice every day, with
purification and many infinite skies of merit, brings the mind closer to the
path to enlightenment and closer to enlightenment itself, and so much closer to
freeing all sentient beings from obscurations and suffering and leading them to
enlightenment. Putting the meaning of this into practice in ones life makes each
day extremely rich and worthwhile.
