Amoghasiddhi: the Magician of the Viśvavajra

Akshobhya: the Magician of the Sacred Vajra
As Agnes and Pamela embarked on their spiritual odyssey, they understood the significance of meditation in their journey towards the Heart of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. With closed eyes and tranquil minds, they allowed themselves to be enveloped by the ethereal energy emanating from the sacred mandala. The intricate details of the mandala seemed to come alive, whispering ancient wisdom and secrets of the universe. In this state of deep introspection, they prepared themselves for the profound experience that awaited them in the mystical realm of the Five Dhyani Buddhas.

Insights into Voidness
Vajragoni: The Void is the privation of all disordered dharmata that is pleasing to the carnal mind and flesh. It is the antithesis of created realms by virtue of Its prior animating function that gives structure to such defiled states. As such It is hereafter referred to as the premier Voidness—neither something nor nothing yet simultaneously that Self-Same all-encompassing Void (śūnyatā) That is empty of inherent existence and non-existence. This Voidness does not refer to some-thing “other” in the dark center of the universe, acting as some form of cosmic vacuum-cleaner sucking-in everything in its path like a gargantuan black-hole reducing everything to sheer nothingness.
The Origin of the Jikininki
Cadmus, once hailed as a valiant and esteemed warrior in the kingdom of the Shire, had dedicated his life to protecting his people from any harm that threatened their safety. Fearlessly, he fought battles and faced adversaries, always putting the needs of his fellow townspeople above his own. However, as time went by, Cadmus couldn’t help but notice the self-centered and avaricious nature of those he had sworn to defend. They would readily seek his assistance, yet never extend a hand in return. This lack of gratitude and appreciation began to gnaw at Cadmus, gradually filling him with a deep-seated resentment and bitterness towards the very people he had once fought so fiercely to safeguard.

Is there an Afterlife?
Vajragoni: Many believe that the current state of affairs in the saha realm has reached an unprecedented low. Humanity appears to have descended to a point of despair from which recovery seems impossible. The situation is deemed worse than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. The natural order has been violated and sullied. What is the most prudent course of action? One should prepare for the afterlife, as it looms on the horizon. However, what exactly constitutes the afterlife? Is it a specific location, or does it represent a continuation of an individual’s consciousness in some form after death? Mainstream religions assert that it is a definitive and eternal place, while other belief systems suggest it serves merely as a temporary phase before reincarnation. Our objective here is to examine the concept of the afterlife through a Lankavatarian perspective. In this context, we will discover that the most effective preparation for the afterlife is, paradoxically, a non-preparation, a notion that is echoed in both the Lankavatara and Diamond Sutras.
Pamela was aware that she needed help to uncover the root cause of the curse that had befallen the Shire. She knew that there was only one person who could best provide her with the necessary assistance. Her dear friend, Agnes.

A Most Dark Contemplation
Vajragoni: Many times Contemplation is misunderstood and rendered as a secondary spiritual tool following meditation. However, Contemplation, as utilized and experienced through the works of Mystical Giants like John of the Cross, perhaps draws the adept intimately closer to the Unborn than any other modality. There are two primary forms of Contemplation. Active Contemplation utilizes many different types of experiential tools in encountering the Transcendent: reading, imagination, music, monastic liturgical settings, walking, attunement with nature, etc. Infused Contemplation, which is highlighted in this series, directly addresses the Unborn In Itself with no other accessories at hand.
