Turning Towards the Transcendental - the Buddhas of the 10 Directions
Over the coming weeks, we turn towards the Transcendental, to ask : what exactly is Enlightenment?
It cannot be described in words or concepts, and yet it is comprised of perfected aspects of our own human experience – knowing, compassion, stability, generosity, love, fearlessness, and so forth. “It” is not a thing or a place, perhaps more a way of seeing Realty.
One way of conveying these Truths is by personifying them in the imaginal realm and giving them form as 5 pairs of Buddhas, represented the wisdom and the compassionate aspects of each quality. Forms that have emerged from deep meditation experience over the centuries. These can be arranged in a Mandala, a harmonious pattern of beauty and inspiration.
Each of these 10 Transcendental “Beings” will be presented by a team of Order Members and Mitras training for ordination.
May 5th - This week, guided by Satyamati, we meet Akshobhya, the deep blue figure of the immutable Buddha, holding the thunderbolt sceptre of Reality, he touches the earth, the earth of direct experience. Akshobhya is the archetype of the Dharma's ability to transmute all hatred, through mirror like wisdom, into deep compassion.
With meditation, reflection and mantra.
