(Sacred Knowledge) Pistis Sophia | Forgotten Gospel of Soul’s Fall and Divine Return, April 2025
Pistis Sophia (Koine Greek Πίστις Σοφία) is a Gnostic text discovered in 1773 [1], possibly written between the 3rd [2] and 4th centuries AD [3].
The existing manuscript, which some scholars place in the late 4th century [4], relates one Gnostic group's teachings of the transfigured Jesus to the assembled disciples, including his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene [his chief disciple], and Martha.
(In this context, "transfigured" refers to Jesus after his death and resurrection, not the event during his life where he spoke to appearances of Moses and Elijah on a mountain).
In this Gnostic text, the risen Jesus had spent 11 years speaking with his disciples, teaching them only the lower mysteries.
After 11 years, he receives his true garment and is able to reveal the higher mysteries revered by this group. The prized mysteries relate to complex cosmologies and knowledge necessary for the soul to reach the highest divine realms. More
Have others ever felt a passion -- a sense of urgency -- to do what is profitable, what is wholesome and useful toward liberation? If one, there is an accompanying feeling that one is not doing nearly enough to make reasonable progress toward the goal. How much time has passed, and how much time will pass, before we get on the ball? "Long enough, wanderers," the Buddha frequently said, "has it been that we have wandered on in this round (samsara) -- long enough to have become dispassionate toward all formations."

(TOI) It’s July 2nd. You’re sipping ice water, wondering where [half] the year went, maybe even scrolling photos thinking, Didn’t we just celebrate New Year’s? Suddenly, someone says, “Hey, you know today is exactly halfway through the year?”
Wait, what? Yep. July 2nd isn’t just another random summer day stuck between fireworks and a cousin’s birthday party. It’s Halfway Day — the dead-center midpoint of the year.
Half of 2025 is behind us. The other half? Still ahead, ready to be claimed [if we seize the day, or squandered if we worry about Trump and other corrupt politicians advancing Project 2025].
Whether feeling super accomplished or lowkey behind on every goal made back in January, this little calendar milestone is a gentle nudge from the universe to pause, [meditate like you thought you would], reflect, and maybe even restart. More
Time keeps on ticking, ticking...How can I gain energy to make effort in meditation?
Overcoming complacency in meditation
(Beth Upton) April 21, 2025: Here I discuss what we can do if we notice ourselves becoming complacent (lazy, fatigued, unenthusiastic) in our daily meditation practice.

Fo Guang Shan's Hsi Lai Temple, at one time the largest Buddhist temple in the Western hemisphere (a title that may now belong to Chaung Yen Monastery in Upstate New York), is the North American regional headquarters of Fo Guang Shan.
BUILDING THE TEMPLE at its current location in Hacienda Heights, LA County, survived six public hearings and more than 100 community meetings. In 1985, the temple was finally granted a building permit. The groundbreaking ceremony was held the following year. And the temple was completed on November 26, 1988. More
CELEBRATIONS will be held between Dec. 22-29, 2024, according to the operator [at the contact number (626) 961-9697 and email info@ibps.org] who looked into it, possibly during a weeklong meditation retreat. See Hsi Lai Temple Events Calendar for future details
It was built to serve as a spiritual and cultural center for those interested in learning more about Buddhism and Chinese (Taiwanese) culture.
It is the intention of its founder, Venerable Master Hsing Yun, to propagate Humanistic Buddhism (Chinese Mahayana) and to create a Pure Land here on earth.
Hsi Lai Temple is built to fulfill these goals in the United States. The Chinese words Hsi Lai mean “Coming (to the) West” and signify the dedication of the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order to spread the teachings of the Buddha (more emphasis on a "cosmic buddha" called Amitabha than the actual historical BuddhaGautama, a.k.a. Shakyamuni) to those in the West.
The International Buddhist Progress Society, a nonprofit organization, is the chartered name for the temple, and the temple has an affiliated and fully accredited Buddhist university in neighboring Rosemead, California, called University of the West. More: Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple
Amitabha Buddha: Infinite Life and Light: History, Dharani, Sutras, Sadhana, and Sukhavati
(Buddha Weekly) Aug. 7, 2024: Why is the magnetizing or attracting power of Cosmic Buddha Amitabha and the Lotus family so alluring? Why is Amitabha so popular in the various lineages and schools of Mahayana Buddhism? Why is Amitabha's Western Pureland Sukhavati called the "Happy Realm," and how easy is it to attain rebirth in this paradise? Why is Amitabha called both "Infinite Light" and "Infinite Life"?
[Is it because it's a fantasy that does not require effort and spiritual exertion to calm and purify the mind only to develop faith and devotion, which are much easier? In the dichotomy of hariki and jiriki, most humans prefer an "other" power rather than "self" power as a means of salvation/liberation.]

Amitabha is the magnetic "savior" Buddha. He helps with his charismatic bliss and joy and wisdom for discernment to overcome the poisons of attachment and desire.
It is our clinging attachment to things -- objects, money, ownership, and ego -- that causes suffering in samsara (the cycle of rebirth). With discernment wisdom, the wisdom of Amitabha's Lotus family, we overcome our obsessive clinging to things and ego.
His practice is the magnetizing power of the buddhas signified by his body made of red glowing light like a beautiful glowing sunset. Red is the color of magnetizing, the color of fire and the setting sun of the west, all of which are symbols of Amitabha.
Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche explained in a teaching on Red Amitabha's Lotus family:
“The manifestations of the wisdom of discernment are the deities of the lotus family of magnetizing. The magnetizing deities (devas) have the power to bring circumstances under control.”
Magnetizing power is the power of charisma, attraction, cooperation, compassion, and loving-kindness. Amitabha's magnetizing power attracts auspicious circumstances, knowledge, good fortune, helpful people, students, business, and prosperity — as long as we are motivated by the cause for enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Khenpo Namdro explains:
Magnetizing of Amitabha's Lotus family is “that which brings within one’s power all that appears and all that exists. It goes by such a name because if you make this prayer fervently, you will be able to magnetize or bring within your power the phenomena of the entire universe.”

How could this psychotic Nazi coach be so mean to little princess Jojo Siwa with the mom looking on in silence? Is this any way to raise a healthy dancer or pop idol? It is the way of Kali, Durga, and ferocity. There has to be a better way to enter the place of the way to discover the Tao of Self-Development.
Punk: clumsy Dancing Shiv' (skanking)
(WQ) The dojo ("the place of the way") is a training center, do or tao being "the way of," and the other portion of the word being the suggested way. Chado is "the Way of Tea" (cha or chai being tea) and taekwondo is "the way of striking with foot and hand," a martial art (method of combat). The Way of the Buddha could be the mantra Buddho, the Ennobling Eightfold Path, rather than the martial arts of Japanese budō (wu-dō) or "Way of War." And Play-Doh (a brand name form of "play dough," the Way of Play") might be a good name for dancing, if dancing weren't taken so very seriously by aspiring dancers. Playdo might be the best name for "the Way of Meditation," chan'do, "the Way of the Way," the Way of Jhana, chan, dhyana, or Zen (which is just the Japanese pronunciation of the Pali word jhanaor "meditative absorption").

Meditation? Start with the mantra "Buddho"
Buddho by Phra Ajahn Thate Desaransi, American Theravada Buddhist monk Ven. Thanissaro (trans) from accesstoinsight.org edited by Wisdom Quarterly
.
The Buddha inspired great confidence
When one goes to study meditation with any group or teacher who is experienced in a particular form of meditation, one should first make one's heart confident that that teacher is fully experienced in that form of meditation.
Confidence (saddha)
Be confident that the form of meditation taught is the right path for sure. At the same time, show respect for the place in which one is to meditate. Only then should one begin practicing.
Dedication
Teachers in the past used to require a dedication ceremony as a means of inspiring confidence before one was to study meditation. They would have one make an offering of five pairs of candles and five pairs of white flowers. This was called the five khandha. Or eight pairs of candles and eight pairs of white flowers, which was called the eight khandha. Or one pair of candles each weighing 15 grams and an equal number of white flowers.
Meditation methods
Then they would teach one their particular form of meditation. This ancient custom has its good points. There are many other ceremonies as well, but I won't go into them. I'll mention only a very simple, easy-to-follow ceremony a little further on.
Dhammakaya technique
Only after one has inspired confidence in one's heart as already mentioned should one go to the teacher experienced in that form of meditation. If a teacher is experienced in repeating samma araham, that teacher will teach one to repeat samma araham, samma araham, samma araham.
(Samma = "right," araham = arahant = "enlightened one," so roughly this could mean "right enlightenment.")
Then the teacher will have one visualize a bright, clear jewel two inches above the navel and tell one to focus the mind there as one continues the repetition, without letting the mind slip away from the jewel. In other words, one takes the jewel as the focal point of the mind.
Rising and falling
If one goes to a teacher experienced in meditating on the rising and falling of the abdomen, that teacher will have one meditate on rising and falling and focus the mind on the different motions of the body.
For instance, when one raises a foot, one thinks "raising." When one places a foot, one thinks "placing," and so on. Or else the teacher will have one focus continually on being preoccupied with the phenomenon of arising and passing away in every motion or position of the body.
Psychic powers
If one goes to a teacher experienced in psychic powers, that teacher will have one repeat na ma ba dha, na ma ba dha and focus the mind on a single object until it takes one to see heavens and hells, deities and brahmas of all sorts, to the point where one gets carried away with those visions.
Breath meditation
If one goes to a teacher experienced in breath meditation, that teacher will have one focus on one's in-and-out breath (ana-pana-sati) and have one keep the mind firmly preoccupied with nothing but the in-and-out breath.
Mantra reptition
If one goes to a teacher experienced in meditating on the mantra buddho, that teacher will have one repeat buddho, buddho, buddho and have one keep the mind firmly on that meditation word until one is fully skilled at it.
Then that teacher will have one contemplate buddho and what it is that is saying buddho. Once one sees that they are two separate things, focus on what's saying buddho. As for the word buddho, it will disappear, leaving only what it is that was saying buddho.
One then focuses on what it is that was saying buddho as the object of meditation.
What is the true cause?
People of our time — people of any time, for that matter — regardless of how educated or capable they may be and especially those of us who are Buddhists: Buddhism teaches causes and effects that are entirely true, but why is it that we have to fall for the claims and advertisements we hear everywhere? It must be because people at present are impatient and want to see results before they have completed the causes, in line with the fact that we are supposed to be in an atomic age.
(I don't want to criticize any of us as tending to believe in things the truth of which we have not tested because, after all, we all want to know and see the truth.)
Buddhism teaches us to penetrate into the heart and mind, which are mental phenomena. As for the material body, it is a physical phenomenon. Physical phenomena are under the control of mental phenomena.
Training the mind
When we begin to practice meditation and train the mind to be quiet and untroubled, I can't see that we are creating any problems at that moment for anyone at all. If we keep practicing until we are skilled, then we will be calm and at peace.
If more and more people practice this way, there will be peace and happiness all over the world. As for the body, we can train it to be peaceful only as long as the mind is in full control.
The minute mindfulness lapses, the body will return to its old habits. So let's try training the mind by repeating buddho.
Preliminary Steps to Practicing Meditation
Before practicing meditation on the mantra word buddho, start with the preliminary steps. In other words, inspire confidence in the mind, as already mentioned, then bow three times, saying: More

Faith: Trusting Your Own Deepest Experienceby successful American Theravada Buddhist meditator and teacher Sharon Salzberg has earned a 4.6 out of 5 stars after 350 ratings.
In this beautifully written work, one of America's most beloved meditation teachers -- cofounder of Insight Mediation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, offers discerning wisdom on understanding faith as a healing quality.
"Faith" is the poor English translation of a term the Buddha used, saddha, which means "confidence," "conviction," "what can be confirmed." He said this Dharma, this Teaching, invites all to come and see for themselves. It can be put to the test.
Through the Teachings of the Buddha and insight (vipassana) gained from her lifelong spiritual quest, Salzberg provides us with a road map for cultivating a feeling of peace, trust, confidence to step forward and put into practice Teachings that promise immediate results and that can be practiced by anyone of any tradition.
Salzberg in India with Dipa and Dipa Ma.
If the ultimate goal of Buddhism is awakening (bodhi, "enlightenment" in this very life), the necessity of investigating to see for oneself is of paramount importance.
But we will not investigate without some measure of "faith" to listen then put into practice what we are not yet able to see as leading to knowledge and vision.
We must commit to persistent practice that reveals itself as wholesome, worthy, and giving rise to the highest good.
Therefore, the real meaning of "faith" becomes something that can be tested and confirmed in the here not the hereafter.
Moreover, we need not reject any other faith, any other religious tradition or teacher, to pursue awakening.
In that sense, Buddhism is not a religion (a set of things to believe) swapped for another religion. It is the Awakened One's map pointing out how we ourselves may bring ourselves to awakening just as he did.
Thus have I heard. Once late at night a deva ("shining one") came into the Buddha's presence, casting bright light over the whole of Jeta's Grove. He saluted the Awakened One, stood respectfully to one side, and asked: "How, dear sir, did you cross the flood?"
This being of light knew that the Buddha had transcended and gone beyond the suffering inherent in the Wheel of Life and Death (samsara) with its deluge of misery. He wanted to learn how the Buddha had achieved this.
The Buddha replied: "Friend, by not standing still and by not struggling, I crossed the flood." The deva, perplexed by this apparent paradox, asked for clarification. To clarify the analogy, the Enlightened One told him:
.
If I were a princess, I would cross the flood, too.
"Friend, when I came to a standstill then I sank. But when I struggled then I got swept away. It is in this way, friend, that by not standing still and by not struggling, I crossed the flood."
This metaphor describes right or balanced effort. The wandering ascetic Siddhartha "sank" when he did not work hard enough, but if he strained too hard he became agitated and got "swept away."
When he discerned how to cross over with just the right balance between energy and calm, he transcended the flood of suffering fully and permanently.
The deva rejoiced that at long last he had met a real arhat (enlightened person), a true holy person:
"After a long time at last I see
A Brahmin who is fully cooled,
Who by not standing still, not struggling,
Has crossed clinging to the world"
(KS I, 2; SN 1:1)
The delighted deva had correctly perceived what set the Buddha apart from others: The ascetic Siddhartha had transcended death, rebirth, and all suffering to become the Buddha by eliminating all the mental impurities.
The deva began his question with a modicum of confidence (faith) in the Buddha and received personal instruction from him.
As a result, the Commentary to this sutra indicates, he became a stream-enterer (the first stage of enlightenment). After the Buddha approved of this verse, the deva paid respects and departed.More
This first Insight Myanmar interview is an autobiography of a famous living monk, a Burmese-Chinese Sayadaw. The text is a sample of his teaching, a transcript of a live Q&A session from L.A.
Wait, was is he saying? Is he speaking?
QUESTION: So nothing exists?
ANSWER (Thabarwa Sayadaw): No, no, no, not nothing. We can use the eyes, the ears, the nose, the tongue, the body, the mind. We can use the scene, the sound, the smell, the taste of the food. We can touch hardness, softness, cold, hot. We can also use politics, economics, education.

Insight Myanmar (podcasts starting 2020)
The real problem is concerned with the mind not with this or that life, this or that person, black or white, male or female, young or old, educated or uneducated, rich or poor, Christian, Buddhist, or Muslim. All of these are unreal problems.
All of these are not real, not true. Accepting this is the practice of detachment. If we cannot accept this, we are using [impersonal things] with attachment.
Jason: What Sayadaw means is just like he said.
As a human being, I was taught that human beings are more intelligent than other animals, that the knowledge of human beings is right, and that we should rely on the knowledge or intelligence of human beings over the other animals.
This is what I was taught since I was young. This theory is incomplete.
Most human beings are using this theory. Humans are intelligent. That’s why we rely on scientists or doctors or politicians. This theory and practice is incomplete. The intelligence of the living beings is just a creation, not real. We all are using created intelligence, created life, created mind. We are living in the created world.
But what's he saying? Is it Maha-Thera-yana?
That’s why people in society are busy creating new products, new technology, and preserving the old products, buildings, and technology. That’s why we are all tired.
We are feeling stress and disappointment (dukkha), doubt and confusion and not knowing what is right or what is wrong (avijja).
We can be rich, we can be educated, we can be well-known throughout the world, we can have a long life, but the mind will still remain unstable and impure [and therefore unhappy].
The mind will not be healthy or wealthy even if we are rich, educated, or well-known, because we are using ignorance and attachment [clinging] in the mind.
Ignorance is wrong view, misunderstanding. Attachment is when we don’t want to let go of the idea of something or someone [given that things are empty, shunyata, and therefore impersonal, anatta], mine or yours. That is attachment. Do you agree with this theory?
THABARWA SAYADAWhas had a meteoric rise in Burma (Myanmar). After weathering a series of crises that threatened the very existence of his urban meditation center, Rangoon, the Burmese monastic’s mission is now expanding at an unprecedented rate across the country and the world. Then there is his monastic center itself, which is redefining the role of monasticism and the shape of Burmese Buddhism in the 21st century. In this inaugural interview, Thabarwa Sayadaw (a title meaning "Teacher at the Nature Center") shares autobiographical details of his journey from layperson to monastic, as well as the early start of his first meditation centers. He began the same sort of center in Baldwin Park, L.A.
For many "Don Draper" (aka Dick Whitman) is the epitome of confidence. But what most people don’t realize is that confidence actually comes in two flavors.
There is the external confidence we project, which can make closing deals, making friends, or seducing someone happen more naturally. There is also the internal confidence we feel, which is how comfortable we are in any given situation.
Let's analyze what Draper can teach us about both levels of confidence and how mastering each level can take us from being nervous to completely confident in any situation.
⏰TIMESTAMPS⏰
0:41: Lesson #1: His relaxed body language.
2:58: Lesson #2: Don is non-reactive.
5:18: Lesson #3: He doesn’t try to convince other people.
6:57: Lesson #4: The belief that he will be okay, no matter what.
In contemporary life, based on interpretations, repressive experiences, and times where questioning was not allowed, we often struggle with the concept and practice of FAITH (saddha, confidence, conviction, well-placed trust).
Is faith a necessary element for spiritual development? What does faith mean?
Join Sharon Salzberg and Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel in NYC on April 26th and 27th at New York Insight for a deep look at the provocative and lively topic that lies at the heart of the human condition.
This weekend program will explore a different sense of "faith." How it can connect us to a deeper place of strength within us and to a bigger picture of life will be discussed.
This type of faith increases confidence, openness, and our ability to recognize something outside of our immediate circumstances as describing who we are.
Both Sharon and Elizabeth have written books dedicated to exploring faith because of how important it is to more deeply understand it. And they are delighted to bring these discussions to life in the format of a in-depth weekend retreat.
This topic will be offered as a Friday evening program as well as in a full Daylong practice on Saturday and will include discourses, discussion, and guided meditations. It is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.
Join for one or both sessions as these two days can stand alone as complete experiences or build on each other for a richer weekend of practice and discussion.
Join and unpack faith and its role in contemporary life and spirituality. More (Register)
FAITH: In this beautifully written work, one of America's most beloved Buddhist meditation teachers offers discerning wisdom on understanding faith [confidence, conviction] as a healing quality. Through the teachings of the Buddha and the insight gained from her lifelong spiritual quest, Salzberg provides readers with a road map for cultivating peace that can be practiced by anyone of any spiritual tradition.
Buddhism does have and rely, at least in the beginning, on "faith." But it is not blind faith. It is confidence and conviction -- a verifiable faith called saddhā.
Buddhists are said to have saddha if "they believe in the Awakened One's enlightenment" (MN 53; A.V, 2), and in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), by going for guidance (ti-sarana) to them. This "faith," however, should be ākāravatā saddhā dassanamūlika ("reasoned and rooted in understanding," MN 47) so that it is verifiable in this life.
One investigates and tests the object of faith (MN 47, MN 95). A Buddhist's faith is aligned with a spirit of free inquiry. So "doubt about things giving rise to doubt" (A. II, 65; S. XLII, 13) is admitted, and inquiry into them is encouraged.
The "faculty of faith" should be balanced with the "faculty of wisdom." (Seeindriya-samatta).
It is said: "A monastic who has understanding, establishes confidence/faith in accordance with that understanding" (S. XLVIII, 45).
Through wisdom (understanding), faith/confidence becomes an inner certainty that matures into firm conviction based on one's own direct experience.
Faith is called the seed (Sn. v. 77) of all wholesome states because -- according to commentarial explanations -- it inspires the mind/heart with confidence (okappana, pasāda) and determination, for "launching out" (pakkhandhana, see MN 122) to get across the flood of samsāra, the Ocean of Suffering, the Wheel of Life and Death.
Unshakable faith
Unshakable faith, that is, complete confidence is attained by reaching the first stage of enlightenment called stream-entry or stream-winning, when the fetter of skeptical doubt is eliminated.
Unshakable confidence (avecca-pasāda) in the Three Jewels is one of the characteristic qualities of the stream-winners.
