(Buddha's Wisdom) MAHA KALA: The Buddhist protector who looks like a demon

Mahākāla (Sanskrit महाकाल) is a deity common to Buddhism and Hinduism [1].

In Buddhism, Mahākāla is regarded as a Dharmapāla ("Protector of the Dharma") and a wrathful manifestation of a cosmic or primordial buddha or bodhisattva.

In Hinduism, Mahākāla is a fierce manifestation of the Hindu God Shiva and the consort of the Goddess Mahākālī [1].

Sri Yantra, sacred chakra (Shaktism)

He most prominently appears in the Kalikula sect of Shaktism [2, 3, 4]. Mahākāla appears as a protector deity in the various traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism, like Chinese Esoteric Buddhism, Japanese Shingon, and Tibetan Vajrayana [1] and Bon.

He is known as Dàhēitiān and Daaih'hāktīn (大黑天) in Mandarin and Cantonese, Daeheukcheon (대흑천) in Korean, Đại Hắc Thiên in Vietnamese, and Daikokuten (大黒天) in Japanese. More

Avalokitesvara Enlightenment Day (8/1)

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

This weekend (either Saturday or Sunday), Hsi Lai Temple will be conducting a noontime offering to the great Kwan Yin Pusa (Guanyin Bodhisattva), who began as the male deva Avalokita (Avalokitesvara).

It is unknown which day it will be because it is officially posted as "Sunday, 8/1, at 10:00 am, but Sunday is 8/2, Aug. 2, 2026. So maybe it starts on Saturday at 10 and culminates with noontime offerings at 12 the next day? Call the temple for proper details.

Buddha's Light Mountain

Fo Guang Shan (FGS, Chinese 佛光山, Pinyin Fó guāng shān, lit. "Buddha's Light Mountain") is an international Chinese Mahāyāna Buddhist organization and monastic order. It is based in Taiwan and practices Humanistic Buddhism, whose roots are traced to the Linji School of Chan Buddhism.

The headquarters, Fo Guang Shan Monastery, is located in Dashu District, Kaohsiung, Buddhist Taiwan, and is the largest Buddhist monastery in the island country .

[Of course, mainland China lays claim to Taiwan as an integral part of the PRC (People's Republic of China) just as it insists that Bon/Vajrayana Buddhist Tibet and similarly oppressed Muslim Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the northwest are part and parcel of the nominally communist actively capitalist post-kingdom].

• Buddhism in Taiwan
• Buddhism in China

The organization is also one of the largest charity organizations in Taiwan. Its counterpart for laypeople is known as the Buddha's Light International Association. Founded in 1967 by Hsing Yun, the order promotes Humanistic Buddhism and is known for its efforts in the modernization of Chinese Buddhism.

The modernist order is famous for its use of technology, and its temples are often furnished with the latest equipment [1, 2]. Hsing Yun's stated position for Fo Guang Shan is that it is an "amalgam of all Eight Schools of Chinese Buddhism." More

Dalai Lama says he's reincarnated Goddess

Dalai Lama: Not trans, I'll reincarnate as a Western woman, a hot one, so people will listen.

(Buddha's Wisdom) The goddess-bodhisattva (savior) who has ruled Tibet for 600 years

Manjushri, Chenrezig, Vajrapani

It's like we always say at Wisdom Quarterly, Who needs the historical Buddha's instructions when you can have magic and mystery in Tibet and lots of political mumbo jumbo from a corrupt lapsed empire and its pope-king? The Himalayas were like that until Mao's Army crashed in and crushed Lhasa, the Oracle told the leader to get out quick, and ruling elite made a deal with the devils (CIA). Tibet still wields disproportionate influence in the region, now annexed and part of the PRC. Who has time for a tradition akin to American hippies turning their backs on their parents' Christianity to become dirty hippie "Jesus Freaks"? Of course they would want to because who wouldn't want to get back-to-basics and away from corrupt institutions and an out-of-control clergy? If faced with organized religion, do what seekers like Siddhartha have always done: become a shaman (shraman) on a quest for a personally verified experience of ultimate truth. If one has to do it at all, do it right, spiritual exploration over religion rules. Who could possibly choose the holy Roman Empire's version of Catholicism ("Universalism") instead of the direct teachings of an entheogen-consuming, just-back-from-India, dirty, Jewish, Essene, vegetarian Nazarene adept who spent time in a Buddhist monastery and in ashrams and secret initiation site training and preparing for 18 years?

• 11th Panchen Lama (kidnapped by China) controversy

But many will choose the institution, as most of Tibet (a massive region a quarter to half the size of China) did in centuries past. But the real practice of Buddhism involves moving beyond comfortable institutions, rituals, and dogma and onto the mat for purification of heart/mind and view. That's when the real progress begins. Few are probably ready for that, so let's get back to Tibetan politics with the pope-king who is now just "pope" of one Tibetan school or sect, the Gelug Yellow Hats.

• Om mani padme hum ("all hail the jewel in the lotus," perhaps referring to the shining adamantine core wrapped in delicate sheaths or koshas, a "soul" or spirit in a corporeal body) is a Sanskrit chant uttered for its vibrational power rather than literal meaning

(Soulful Energy)

Avalokiteśvara as Kwan Yin

Oṃ maṇi padme hūm̐ [1] (Sanskrit ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ) is a six syllable Sanskrit mantra particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteśvara (later transformed into Kwan Yin), the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

It first appeared in the Mahayana Kāraṇḍavyūha Sūtra, where it is also referred to as the sadaksara (Sanskrit षडक्षर, the "six syllabled") and the paramahrdaya or "innermost heart" of Avalokiteśvara [2].

In that text the mantra is seen as the condensed form of all Buddhist teachings [3]. The precise meaning and significance of the particular words remain much discussed by Buddhist scholars.

The literal meaning in English has been expressed as "praise to the jewel in the lotus" [4] or as a declarative aspiration, possibly meaning "I in the jewel-lotus" [5].

Padma is Sanskrit for the Indian lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and mani means "jewel," as in a type of spiritual "gem" or "treasure" widely referred to in Buddhism [6].

The first word, om (aum), is a sacred syllable [bija or seed mantra] in various Indian religions, and hum represents the spirit of enlightenment [7], though it is the sound of the throat chakra.

In Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism this ubiquitous mantra and its recitation is a popular form of religious practice, performed by laypersons and monastics alike. It is an ever-present feature of the landscape, commonly carved onto rocks, known as "mani stones," painted into the sides of hills, or written on prayer flags and giant rotating prayer wheels [8].

(Mantraon)

 

The mantra is also popularly used in East Asian Buddhist traditions, where it is mainly associated with the Bodhisattva Kwan Yin (Guanyin), who is the female East Asian manifestation (version) of Avalokiteśvara.

In Chinese Mahayana Buddhism, the recitation of the mantra remains widely practiced by both monastics and laypeople, and it plays a key role as part of the standard liturgy utilized in many of the most common Chinese Buddhist rituals performed in monasteries [9, 10, 11].

It is common for the Chinese hanzi transliteration of the mantra to be painted on walls and entrances in Chinese Mahayana Buddhist temples, as well as stitched into the fabric of particular ritual adornments used in certain rituals.

The mantra is also recited in the standard liturgies of temples belonging to the Vietnamese and Japanese Ōbaku Zen Buddhist traditions as well. The mantra has also been adapted into Chinese Taoism [12], which is not Buddhist at all though it came to form the basis of Zen philosophy. More

The Heart Sutra (translation)

Avalokiteśvara, Padmapani. What is the personification of the Perfection of Wisdom?

.

The deva Avalokiteśvara

Om! Hail, the Perfection of Wisdom, beautiful and wholesome!

The being bent on supreme enlightenment was moving through the wisdom that has gone beyond, looking down from on high, beholding only five heaps, seeing that in and of themselves they are empty.

Here within this Dharma, O Foremost in Wisdom, FORM is emptiness, and the very emptiness is form.

Emptiness does not differ from form, and form does not differ from emptiness; whatever is form, that is emptiness.

Prajnaparamita of Java

The same is true of FEELINGS, PERCEPTIONS, FORMATIONS, and CONSCIOUSNESS.

Herein, O Foremost in Wisdom, all phenomena bear the mark of emptiness. They are not dual, not produced nor stopped, not defiled nor immaculate, not deficient nor complete.

Therefore, O Foremost in Wisdom, in emptiness, in being impersonal, there is no form nor feeling, nor perception, nor formation, nor consciousness.

Bodhisattva, Dambulla, Sri Lanka

There are no bases -- no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tangibles or objects of mind; no sight-organ element, and so forth, until we come to:

There is no mind-consciousness element; there is no ignorance, no extinction of ignorance, and so forth, until we come to: There is no decay and death, no extinction of decay and death. There is no suffering, no origination, no stopping, no path.

There is no cognition, no attainment, and no nonattainment.

Prajna, Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom

Therefore, O Foremost in Wisdom, it is because of this non-striving to attain that a being bent on supreme enlightenment, through having relied on the Perfection of Wisdom, dwells without thought-coverings. In the absence of thought-coverings, one is not made to tremble.

One has overcome what can upset, and in the end is quenched, having let go, having glimpsed Nirvana.

Tibetan Avalokiteśvara with 11 faces

All who appear as supremely enlightened beings in the three periods of time -- past, present, and future -- fully awake to the utmost, to right and supreme enlightenment because they have relied on the Perfection of Wisdom.

Therefore, one should recognize the Perfection of Wisdom, the Prajnaparamita, as the great mantra, the mantra of great knowledge, the utmost mantra, the unequalled mantra, allayer of all suffering, in truth -- for what could go wrong? By the Prajnaparamita has this mantra been realized. It runs like this:

Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!

(Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, O, what an awakening, all hail!)

This (having seen all conditioned phenomena as impermanent, disappointing, and impersonal) completes the Heart of perfect Wisdom.

Succession? Dalai Lama turns 90 Sunday

I'll be back. I'll return. And it won't be like Saint Issa who said he would have second coming.

(DW) The 14th Dalai Lama affirms he will have a successor after his next death and rebirth

(Al Jazeera) How will the next (15th) Dalai Lama be chosen, who could it be? Will he return?

He may return as a "hot" female as he has said.

Who is the Dalai Lama? He turns 90 next Sunday, on July 6th, 2025. Only John Oliver (Last Week Tonight) has been able to get to the bottom of it. Why do Americans and most of the world (other than China) love him? He got to the bottom of that. The Dalai Lama is the alleged 14th reincarnation (rebirth) of a transformed Vedic Hindu deity named Avalokiteshvara (manifesting as the female deity Chenrezig, Guanyin, Kwannon, Kwan Yin). It's not that there have been 13 previous Dalai Lamas so much as the same one coming back, but not a Buddhist messiah figure. That messiah is Maitreya, the Buddha of the future.

Past life memories are not so unusual. We can remember

How will the next Dalai Lama be chosen – and who could it be?

(Al Jazeera English) July 2, 2025: The Dalai Lama has told followers that the role, that he embodies, will continue after his death. In a video message to a religious gathering in northern India he added that the search for a future Dalai Lama would be carried out in accordance with tradition. That's at odds with China's assertion it should choose the next Dalai Lama. Tibetan Buddhists believe the Dalai Lama is reincarnated into the body of a child. Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports on the succession process. Tibetan writer and activist Tenzin Tsundue says the Dalai Lama's statement cuts China out of the process to choose a successor.

The Heart Sutra: When self is not-self

THE HEART SUTRA is a classic. It is the most read, most chanted, and certainly the least understood of all the apocryphal Mahayana Buddhist texts. Here is a new translation by Wisdom Quarterly.

The Heart Sutra

Who looks down and hears cries of the world?

Amen (aum'n). All honor to the [personification of the] Perfection of Wisdom, lovely and holy!

Avalokita, the great-deva and bodhisattva, was realizing the wisdom that has gone beyond.

He looked down from on high and beheld only FIVE HEAPS, seeing that in and of themselves they were impersonal, utterly empty.

The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara

Herein [within this Dharma], O Śāriputra, form is emptiness, and the very emptiness is form; emptiness does not differ from form, and form does not differ from emptiness: Whatever is emptiness, that is form.

The same is true of [the other four heaps]

• feelings,
• perceptions,
• formations,
• consciousness.

Herein, O Sariputra, all things (dhammas) are marked with emptiness; they are [non-dual] neither produced nor stopped [neither originated nor annihilated], neither defiled nor immaculate, neither deficient nor complete.

Therefore, O Sariputra, in emptiness [in that they are impersonal and not the thing themselves but what they depend on] there is neither form nor feeling, nor perception, nor formation, nor consciousness;

• no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind;
• no forms, sounds, scents, tastes, tangibles, nor objects of mind;
• no sight-organ element, no sound-organ element, no scent-organ element, no taste-organ element, no touch-organ element, no mind-consciousness element.
• There is neither ignorance nor extinction of ignorance...there is neither decay and death nor extinction of decay and death.
• There is no suffering, no origination, no cessation, no path.
• There is no cognition, no attainment and no non-attainment.

The Heart Sutra is brief in Sanskrit, the cul-
mination of 100,000 lines of explanation

Therefore, O Sariputra, it is because of one's [letting go, no longer clinging, and] non-attaining that a being-bent-on-enlightenment, through having brought about the Perfection of Wisdom, dwells without thought-coverings.

In the absence of thought-coverings, one no longer trembles; one has overcome what can upset, and in the end one nirvanas [nirvana as a verb].

All of those who appear as supremely awakened ones in the three periods of time [past, present, future] fully awake to the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment because they have brought about the Perfection of Wisdom.

• [because they have perfected liberating-wisdom].

Therefore, one should know the perfection of wisdom as the great mantra ["thought instrument"], the mantra of great knowledge, the utmost mantra, the unequalled mantra, allayer of all suffering, in truth, for what could go wrong?

Heart as in emotions, love, eros? - No

By the perfection of wisdom has this mantra been delivered. It runs: gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha.

("Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, O what an awakening, so it is!)

This completes the heart [pithy telling, summary, conclusion, culmination] of perfect wisdom.

• When is "self" (I, me, mine, soul, myself) not-self? When wisdom is perfected to see that all things (but particularly the Five Aggregates clung to as self) are not only impermanent, not only unsatisfactory, but are also impersonal (anatta), which is to say "empty" (shunyata), devoid of self, essence, ego, thingness.
• Well, then, if this is the perfection of wisdom, wouldn't "I" rather be ignorant? Why? Well, that way I could exist forever and ever, right? Ignorance is bliss, and if it gives you eternal life or, in any case, endless wandering in this impermanent, miserable, impersonal illusion, stay as you are. Well, but, isn't it better than not existing? The other choice isn't not existing; it is waking up. I think I'd rather dream on and on, I mean, if it weren't such a nightmare sometimes. Can I go to heaven? Yes, the Buddha pointed the way to heaven (sagga), many heavens of extreme longevity, very blissful. They all still bear these Three Marks of Existence, but they are good respites.

Background

Ven. Sariputra, monk foremost in wisdom

The Buddha did not utter this "sutra," but Mahayana Buddhism is not too concerned with what the historical Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) taught. Its interests are in Cosmic Amitabha and Kwan Yin (Avalokita, Avalokiteshvara).

• This figure is transformed in some cultures into a female figure, a feminine icon, called Kwan Yin (Kwun Yum, Guanyin, Kuanyin, Kannon, Kanzeon, Chenrezig, Lokanat, Lokabyuharnat, Lokesvara, Gwaneum, Quan Am, Nātha...).

And instead of the historical Buddha and his teachings, focus is turned to new "Cosmic Buddhas" like Amitābha and Medicine Buddha and Great Bodhisattvas like Ksitigarbha and other Vedic and Hindu syncretistic figures. Gone are countless Vedic gods, now reborn as Buddhist figures.

Who was the deva (god, godling, deity, lit. "shining one") Avalokiteśvara, this tenth-level bodhisattva?

Originally, it was a male deity who looked down and heard the cries of the world with boundless compassion. And this is the central figure in this, the Heart of Perfect Wisdom Sutra.

Buddhism may be described as the marriage of wisdom and compassion. One represents compassion, so who represents wisdom?

Heart Sutra, Siddham script, Japan (wiki)

It is the other figure in this work, the overly intellectual disciple Śāriputra, whom the Buddha declared "foremost in wisdom" among monks but viewed dimly in Mahayana Buddhism, just as in Theravada, where everyone loves easy-to-love Ānanda and Sariputta gets short shrift.

Avalokiteshvara (Mes Indes Galantes)

Mahayana turns him into a stick figure here, a scarecrow representing dunderheaded thinkers who lack compassion and direct knowledge. It is said by professors of Buddhist studies that poor Sariputra is often put in this light in Mahayana texts. Of course, this is a very unfair representation, but then whom to attribute it to?

Who is the author here, a Vedic Brahmin, an ancient Central Asian scholar writing in Gandhari, a Chinese compiler of Hindu and Buddhist texts brought to China by the Monkey King in the Journey to the West? We would like to know.
