Hello, and welcome to our newsletter, Transcreation and Sage!
StevenRAJ delivers this newsletter of cutting edge creation and storehouse of sage on the 10th of every lunar month.
The tenth of the month is significant in the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist lunar calendar. This day of the waxing moon is called "Guru Rinpoche Day," or "Precious Guru Day". The 10th is traditionally blessed to commemorate Padmasambhava's extraordinary feat of establishing the Buddhadharma in the Himālaya range.
The tenth lunar day is an excellent time to connect with the wisdom mind of the guru, one gone thus. It's a collective, gnostic mind of vivid wares; contemporaneous in all authentic lineages of awakening. The 10th is a day of greater "wangtang" when our own personal power, presence and capability can also be enhanced.
The original Precious Guru is Padmasambhava, Lotus Born. We've transcreated one of some infinite praises from Eminence Mingyur Dorje's Sky Dharma:
HRĪH! Unbefoulded by born-old-sick-dead's faults
No dad, no mom, sprung from lotus nave
No caste, no clan, buddha bod complete
Padma holding skullcup: Homage! Praise!
By the graceful and blessed wave of Buddha Amitabha in the Western buddhafield, Bliss, Lotus Born spontaneously emerges from the seed-syllable HRĪH atop a lotus bed.
With no literal parents, nor predetermined lot in life, Padmasambhava, Precious Guru, proves his mettle as the perfectly complete buddha of our time. He holds a vajra scepter in his right hand, and skullcup containing immortality's ambrosia in the left.
It is fitting to recall such principles of perfection in both scripture and realization (and also resound them aloud). This is why our website's most precious content is transcreation: scriptural sources pure as Jambu gold.
We believe our collective wisdom mind is destined to full and complete awakening. In this aim we dedicate all transcreations of sacred texts CC0: for free to the public domain!
While we share common ground in scripture, nevertheless each of us experience quite unique processes of realization. So our enjoyment of the arts, and alternative modes of thought are also published in a spirit of fellowship and communion that we all truly realize the empty, vivid essence of all such theater and play.

Infinitely as the platinum lights of night
