Merry Meet To All,

The Eight Sanskrit Syllables of the Eight Buddha Protectors signify protection & blessings! Avalokitesvara, Akasagarbha, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Maha-sthama-prapta, Vairocana, Acala & Amitabha, The Eight Holy Buddha Protectors of the Twelves Zodiac Signs!

Before Buddha entered "Parinirvana", He said to His Disciples, "Everything that is born will die. All conditioned phenomena are subjected to decay. You should constantly think of the Buddha's Birth and not be lax or lazy in your spiritual pursuit. Practising thus, You will attain Enlightenment." The Buddha dedicated His life to sentient beings so that they would always be able to hear the auspicious sound of Dharma symbolised by the conch. He was like the precious parasol protecting sentient beings, turning the Dharma Wheel. Like the "Auspicious Knot", He was able to see interwoven nature of all things. His Heart pure as the "Lotus", avoiding "Evil" and abiding in "Happiness" (Double Golden Fish), Finally attaining Merits and "Wisdom" (Wealth Vase). The Buddhadharma is limitless. If all Living Beings follow the teachings of Buddha, they would be free from sicknesses and would enter the great World symbolised by the White Banner...

May all Beings in all planes be well and Happy...

Blessed Be,
Oceanos
