The theme ”better the balance, better the world”
is also so relevant even with the Buddhist philosophy.
Every dharma practitioners aspire to get enlightenment for the benefits
of all sentient beings. The enlightenment
is possible only when female and male energies are both fully present. Tara
practices are generally carried out to bring enlightened female energy into our
lives and that is reason all lamas and Rinpoche’s practices Tara Sadhana.
In
Vajrayana Buddhism, female deities represent the feminine aspect of
enlightenment. There are three categories of female deities, Peaceful forms
like Tara, Semi-Wrathful forms like Vajrayogini, Wrathful forms such as the
female protector Palden Lhamo. In fact
Palden Lhamo is our country’s protector.
All
above deities has a male counterpart, because male and female aspects are both
necessary for enlightenment. In fact, both are necessary throughout the
spiritual path. The union of masculine and feminine energies is key to our
ultimate spiritual freedom. Without the male or female aspect, there is no
enlightenment: there is no union of wisdom and method; there is no union of
clear light and illusion body; there is no union of mind and body.
So
women have to balance with male, spiritually, socially, culturally, and
politically. They should represent equally in all areas of male dominance
through their efforts which is lacking at the moment.
If
they do ”better the balance, better the world”.
So think equal, build smart and innovate for change. It is high
time.
Enjoy the
day.
