Dear friends,
Due to the ultimate source of our karma ripening, we can experience many problems arising from environment, people, surroundings, food, sound, water, etc. They can afflict us and bring discomfort or problems, disturbing our quality of life. Within the Tantra taught by Buddha Shakyamuni, there are many practices that can avert many problems we may experience, some of the practices must be done with initiation, visualizing ourselves as the deity thereby purifying wrong perception. There are practices we do not need to visualize ourselves as the deity. And also both.
There are many hundreds of forms of Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig. Chenrezig can manifest to help us heal, overcome obstacles, increase good qualities, gain wisdom, purify karma, and ultimately to reach full enlightenment. The great masters of Tibet, India, Nepal, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Kashmir, China, Korea and Japan have relied upon many forms of Chenrezig, and have obtain great benefits and blessings.
This form of Chenrezig I am sharing with all of you, is especially to heal the defects, problems, and disturbances specifically to our eyes. Out of the five senses, the eye is extremely important, therefore when it has problems, it can be worrying. This practice I am recommending here, you do not require initiation.
You may do this practice even if your eye is healthy or if they are afflicted. If your eyes are healthy, through this practice you can gain the special eye of wisdom that can penetrate Buddha's teachings deeply. And samsara's deception are seen by you clearly. You gain the eye of wisdom that penetrates the true existence of phenomena as elucidated by Tsongkhapa and Nagarjuna. You gain the eye of penetrative insight into ultimate mode of existence which is Emptiness. In fact this practice helps us to gain attainments to uncover "seeing" samsara for what it really is. Supreme wisdom.
If your eyes have illness, this can help to heal in conjunction with seeing the doctor and taking the medicine required. You can recite the mantra any time of the day or night daily, anywhere until healing is occurred. Sometimes you may receive dreams of your eyes being washed, cleaning your clothes, room, or a sangha washing an item, climbing a mountain, seeing the sun or moon rise, or vomiting. These are some indications in your dream that purification and healing are taken place. Even if you don't have these dreams, it is ok as this practice blesses your eyes, increases your wisdom, and ultimately leads to Enlightenment.
