So those who have recorded the yesterday morning session, afternoon session, please share with the individuals during the lunch time, who have just arrived today, so there get a little bit more clarity of what we are getting in, what we are getting into and so on. During the lunch time.
So in this session we are going to do it as a, based on the text, so out of respect to the Dharma we have to start the refuge, prayers and the mandala (offering) and so on. Then we will start as a session. Yesterday was informal, getting to know each other, general instruction, let’s put it like this.
So but before we start as a session I have a question to all of you “What was the first 3 things of Six-Armed Mahakala from yesterday, remember?” Without looking into your note. [haha] If you look into note everybody can do it. Because you looked at me yesterday as if that you have the wisdom of Manjushri, you know? [haha] Like “Ah no recording is necessary, no note is necessary, everything is here”.
Now show me that you have it here!
[exchange with the participants to review the teaching of the previous day]
Thank you so much for your wisdom. [haha] You memorized all of it. [haha]
Okay, so now with this great joy of each other understanding and appreciation towards this teaching, let’s make a refuge, mandala offering requesting to the teaching and so on.
