Dorji Dakpa on Freedom From Fear: Forthcoming… Robin33 on Freedom From Fear: Forthcoming… John stanley on Ecological Buddhism Site Liisa Pasila on Samdhong Rinpoche on Medi… Adam on Tsering Öser (Woeser) Speaks…
This is from the Buddha’s teaching on four “Agati”, namely,
Chanda-gati, Dosa-gati, Moha-gati, Bhaya-gati, or the four kinds of corruption.
Chanda-gati, corruption induced by desire, is deviation from the right path in pursuit of bribes or for the sake of those one loves.
Dosa-gati is taking the wrong path to spite those against whom one bears ill will, and
Moha-gati is aberration due to ignorance.
But perhaps the worst of the four is bhaya-gati, for not only does bhaya, fear, stifle and slowly destroy all sense of right and wrong, it so often lies at the root of the other three kinds of corruption.
– excerpt from Daw Aung San Suu Kyi speech 1990 titled “Freedom from fear”
Please help me to understand the meaning of the following phrase from the Prayer to the Tara:
‘Purify the two obscurations and swiftly pefect the two accumulations.’
I am a Bhutantese Buddhist living in USA and pray faithfully everyday to the Green Tara.
Thank you. Dorji Dakpa
