I AM Padma Sambhava. Do you know me?

I AM, having come through this Messenger to tell you a little about the work that I carried out during my embodiment on Earth.

I came to Earth more than a thousand years ago. I was born by the reason. I AM, born of the Lotus of Reason.

My level of Buddha achievements enabled me to come to this world like that.

O, you may not believe me. Many miracles happen on Earth, but if you do not believe in these miracles, then these miracles do not exist for you.

You only believe what you see on the screens of your TVs and on the screens of your computers.

What is unreal you perceive as reality, and what is real you cannot perceive.

You will become a Buddha when a reverse process takes place in your consciousness: you will perceive the Divine Reality, but you will stay in the midst of the illusion and realize all the illusory nature of your world.

I AM, came to Earth to establish the foundations of that faith which is called Buddhism, to renew that faith and to strengthen it. This was my mission. And I am happy to have the opportunity to address people who for the most part do not belong to the Buddhists.

In reality, each of you can become a Buddhist very easily. It is enough for you in your heart to make a decision to never harm any living creature on Earth, and you need to make a commitment to help all the living creatures on Earth. And if you are ready to fulfill these two promises, you can consider yourself a Buddhist from this day.

I have come to you on the eve of the Vesak Day celebration, the full moon in Taurus. I have come to affirm the foundations of Buddhism in your hearts, just as I came with this mission more than a thousand years ago. Nothing has changed in the world. The world is still in the illusion and is slow to part with the illusion.

Your prayer practice should have an aspiration. If you pray without proper aspiration, then you are wasting your time. If during your prayer or meditation, you are thinking of how much work you are doing for humanity, your prayer becomes meaningless.

During prayer, you must completely leave your human consciousness. How can you communicate with God if you have not elevated to that height in your consciousness when God will be able to hear you? If you talk with each other, you care to come closer, so that the person you are talking to can hear you. Then, why during your communication with God do you not care that God hears you?

God communicates with you in the language of the heart, and He communicates with you in your heart. Therefore, during your prayer, nothing should distract your attention. You must be completely focused on your heart, on the feelings in your heart.

You do not even have to utter the words of a prayer in doing so. You simply unite your consciousness with the consciousness of God. You elevate your consciousness up to the level of your Higher Self. And you are in God.

The whole sense of a prayer practice is to elevate your consciousness. If your lips and your tongue are uttering the words of a prayer, but your mind is wandering around the neighborhood at the same time, watching what other people are doing, it is better for you to stop your prayer. You are doing a pointless job. A prayer is a communication with God, and not an exercise for the tongue. You know that there is a difference in the conception of God in Buddhism. But if by God, you mean the Supreme Law, the Absolute, the Highest Reason, then you are almost becoming a Buddhist.

How strange it is to observe when people with their human consciousness judge what God is and what He is like. And if your personal ideas of God do not coincide with the ideas of another person, you may even feel hostility towards that person. Each person has his own image of God in his consciousness. And so you only need to admit a thought that other people may have a different idea of God. But this does not mean that someone has a more correct idea, and the other has a less correct idea.

You become closer to God when you raise your consciousness up to the highest possible level that is accessible for you. And the higher the level of your consciousness, the more and more you realize that you cannot know God. And even when you become God in the eyes of other people, you still will not be able to know God.

There is only an eternal striving for the cognizing of Being, an eternal self-transcendence. But when you reach the state of nirvana in your consciousness, you realize that you have reached everything and you do not need to know anything else, because you have entered the state of Divinity.

However, the cosmic terms approach and you leave this state again and begin knowing God again. And this process has neither beginning nor end.

Now you are at the lowest stage of knowing God, and the very first task you face is to learn to differentiate between the illusory world and the Real world. And first of all, you must learn to discern the illusion within your consciousness.

If you reflect upon your thoughts and feelings, you will realize that your thoughts and feelings are absolutely unreal. Whatever you touch with your mind, everything is an illusion. Therefore, the first stage of liberation from illusion is your understanding that all your thoughts and feelings represent illusion. And once you realize that, you will be ready for the next step – for the understanding of what is Real in you.

There are many meditation practices. All of them are aimed at coming into contact with the Real part of you yourself. And your first step towards the Real part of yourself is to calm your mind.

I will give you my mantra. I endow this mantra with my energy, with the momentum of my achievements. Therefore, if you decide to utter this mantra now, you will receive a maximum effect from uttering this mantra. This mantra will help you give up not only excessive mobility of your mind, but it will also enable you to get rid of many of your imperfections.

So, you utter with humility:

OM MANI PADME HUM^[1]

Repeat this mantra as many times and as often as you want to do it. This mantra will help you get rid of your ego as quickly as you admit to rid yourself of your ego in your mind.

Some of you think that perhaps, they will not be able to eliminate their ego until the end of this life. Some people think that they will need a few more lives to eliminate their ego.

All that happens is exactly what you admit into your consciousness. And if you admit in your consciousness that you will eliminate your ego if you recite my mantra 1000 times a day for a year, it will so happen.

Only please, before the uttering of my mantra, do not forget to follow my recommendations that I have given you in this Dictation.

Do not forget that you are communicating with God, and approach Him in your heart as close as possible, so that He can hear you.
