WHY WE NEED TO CONNECT WITH BUDDHA VAJRAPANI

Just as we need to remove stones and weeds from the soil if we wish cultivate external crops, so if we want to develop compassion in our heart we need to remove from it all the obstacles such as attachment, anger and ignorance.that prevent us from growing our compassion,

This is why we need the protection of Buddha Vajrapani, because he helps us to remove all these obstacles by bestowing upon us special spiritual power to do this.Our world needs more compassion. Our world needs the blessings and the spiritual power of Vajrapani.

THIS WORLD NEEDS COMPASSION

This world needs our compassion because so many people are hurting. Every step of our way involves some small discomfort somewhere, and no matter where we stand we can see someone among our friends or family suffering - someone stressed out, someone let down by a friend, someone struggling to keep their life on track, someone dying, others grieving.

Without understanding what compassion really is, even our wish to help them can be hard to bear. We just don’t know what to do or where to turn. We want their suffering to stop but we get distracted by the impact on ourself, and it’s so easy to feel hopeless and helpless.

It’s natural to get upset. We can feel hemmed in by problems (our own or other people’s), and witnessing suffering can tip people into anger. And then more suffering comes.

We dearly need to find true compassion, and grow it – so we can make sense of our world, and so our pure wishes can ease samsara’s pain.
