Dream Manjushri Arrives at Kechara Forest Retreat

Описание: Dear friends around the world,
Over two decades ago I was in Gaden Shartse Monastery and I had a vivid dream. The dream was interesting because I dreamed I was in Drepung Monastery and had a senior monk accompanied by a young monk come visiting me.

In my dream I had a small house and I walked across a small stone pathway to receive the senior monk on a bright and sunny day. From his bag, the senior monk pulled out a painting of Manjushri as a gift for me. I was delighted in the dream.

I remember looking at the painting very carefully. It was not very big, around 8 x 10 inches perhaps. Manjushri was yellow-golden in color with one peaceful face and two arms in “teaching the dharma” mudra (dharmacakra).

He held the stems of two lotuses. The stems led to two open lotuses, one of which had a wisdom sword on top and the other a dharma text. He was youthful in appearance and he was tilted to the right slightly and his legs were left up and right down (the way Green Tara sits) in ‘Lalitasana’ (royal ease) posture.

There were no surrounding Buddhas in the painting. The painting was fresh and beautiful and I stared and memorized the painting in my dream.
