"Mother of Buddhas"
Dear All,
"Prajnaparamita ... is the paradigmatic goddess from whom
virtually
all other Buddhist goddesses arise. She is the ultimate
Buddha
Matri, or "Mother of Buddhas", making her an enlightened
being as
well, and thus, a female Buddha. She, and the text,
encompass and
represent the wisdom that all enlightened beings must
attain, and
subsequently both are seen as the progenitors of Buddhas."
"Nagarjuna went with the nagas (dragons) under the sea and
discovered a vast treasure trove of Mahayana Sutras, among
them the
many versions of the Prajnaparamita Sutra. He studied them
for 50
years and taught them throughout India.
"The original Prajnaparamita is the text called the Great
Mother:
the Prajnaparamita of 100,000 Lines. It purports to record
the full
audience give by Shakyamuni Buddha on Vulture Peak with the
greatest
explicitness and completeness ... Over the centuries various
abridged versions have emerged, including the very short One
Letter
Sutra, (the letter A), the short Heart Sutra, the concise
Diamond-cutting Sutra, the 8,000 Line, the 18,000 or 20,000 Line,
and the
25,000 Line Sutras, from a total of eighteen Sutras. These
are all
considered the same Sutra, differing only in length and
detail,
never in basic import...
"These perfect wisdom texts served as the foundation for a
systematic curriculum developed over many centuries in the
Mahayana
Buddhist monastic universities, among the earliest
universities on
this planet... This ancient curriculum opend the minds of
millions
of practictioners for a thousand years in India. Around 1000
C.E.,
it was transferred to the Tibetan monastic universities and
six
hundred years later to the Mongolian institutions, wherein
it has
flourished until the present day. The recent destruction of
Mongolian and Tibetan civilizations by Russian and
Chinese
communist
invasions has severely restricted the number of
practitioners who
have access to the curriculum. About fifteen thousand
Tibetan monks
in monastic universities rebuilt in India and the Himilayan
countries are the last practitioners of this transformative
spiritual curriculum of Prajnaparamita education.
"In East Asia, it seems clear that Prajnapaamita served as
the basis
of the Ch'an and Zen traditions... The famous Sixth
Patriarch of
Ch'an in China, Hui Neng, recalled his own perfect wisdom
upon a
single hearing of the Diamond-cutting version of the
Prajnaparamita." (Robert Thurman)
The Prajnaparamita Sutras are the essence of perfect wisdom
and the
Goddess Prajnaparamita, as the physical embodiment of
perfect
wisdom, is the source of highest enlightenment for all the
Buddhas.
She permeates all space, time, and dimensions, just as the
background noise in the universe created by the Big Bang
permeates
all physical reality.
The Gods and Goddesses of the Buddhist pantheon create
many "emanations" to serve humanity. The most profound and
touching
emanations are those Goddesses and enlightened humans who
embody the
spirit of Prajnaparamita. Tara is perhaps the greatest and
certainly
the most accessible of the emanations of Prajnaparamita and
is
likewise known as the Mother of all the Buddhas.

Shri Buddha has been witnessed meditating on Prajnaaparamita
- the
Mother of all the Buddhas - along with all others. She is
the Adi
Shakti, the Divine Feminine found in all the Holy
Scriptures. Thus
today i have secured www.prajnaaparamita.org and think the
circle is
complete. This is probably the last domain we needed. i am
glad to
have got hold of it as it will now include the Buddhists as
well.
Everything is fine and moving on with Her grace and
guidance.
Actually i am surprised that we could secure all seven names
of the
Divine Feminine representing the major religions:
www.adi-shakti.org/ - Hinduism
www.holyspirit-shekinah.org/ - Christianity
www.ruach-elohim.org/ - Judaism
www.ruh-allah.org/ - Islam
www.tao-mother.org/ - Taoism
www.aykaa-mayee.org/ - Sikhism
www.prajnaaparamita/ - Buddhism
Sometimes i feel that i may be looking too far into the
distance for
others to see the same without distortion. But i am silenced
by the
sight of all harmoniously merging into One. i believe we
have just
begun declaring to humanity of "the supposed appearance of a
totally
new being who heralds a new age of consciousness" - the
Shakti,
Prajnaaparamita - the Mother of all the Buddhas, the Divine
Feminine
of the holy scriptures.
"Unknown Man is the first declaration of a new species being
born on
Earth. The last time such an event occurred was thirty-five
thousand
years ago when Homo sapiens evolved alongside Neanderthal
man.
Evidence, both of a scientific and mystical nature, has been
gathered by the author to give substance to the proposal
that the
coming new species will grow out of a seed that has lain
dormant
within our genetic pool for millennia. This book provides an
extraordinary blueprint of mankind which reveals that we are
richly
endowed with miraculous, yet almost unknown talents and that
these
talents, when revealed, will alter our condition to bring
the
species into a "natural state" which hitherto has been
reserved only
for a choice few.
In the past two decades the Western world has begun a
completely new
appreciation of mystical, Eastern teaching and with this
fresh view
the post-war generation has begun to question the old
traditions and
values, with science at last delving into "maps" of life and
mankind
that have been around for thousands of years, ignored in
preference
to rational thinking.
Unknown Man explores these maps alongside the scientific
advancements of today to reveal higher evolutionary
functions within
our glandular system, the heart and the brain which, when
activated,
can bring an individual into a "natural state," much like
that of
masters such as Buddha, Lao Tzu, Bodhidharma, Raman Maharshi
and
Meher Baba — those unique pioneers of the enlightened realm
of life —
a realm that holds the key to the entire direction of the
next
evolutionary jump to be taken by man.
The author blends science and mysticism, facts and
speculation to
create a vivid and unexpected portrait of the coming
changelings:
their appearance, their physical, mental and spiritual
differences
and the way in which we — the old Homo sapiens need to
prepare
ground for those already on our doorstep ...
The ending of our century has more than its fair share of
predictions and omens. No other century has such a wealth of
apocalyptic prophecies surrounding its closing years. And
yet
interwoven through the visions of a cataclysmic end to our
dark
warring age is one very particular thread of light — the
supposed
appearance of a totally new being who heralds a new age of
consciousness."1
By having all seven names of the Divine Feminine
representing the
major religions we have a vast Ocean of Knowledge and
countless
opportunities to prove that Shri Mataji has started this new
age of
consciousness. Is everyone able to see with a 20/20
spiritual vision
and silenced by the sight of all harmoniously merging into
One? i
really hope others can see Shri Mataji's Vision for
humanity
too.
Jai Shri Ganapathi,
jagbir
