Dear Rinpoche,
I have two questions:
I am currently reciting the White Lotus of the Good Dharma, also known as the Lotus Sutra. Please could you explain about the meaning of this Sutra and its importance in Mahayana Buddhism?
Also, the practice of reciting the Names of the Buddhas is said to create great merit. Please could you explain about this practice, what are its benefits, and could you please suggest some Buddha’s Names that anyone can recite which will bring great benefit? Perhaps there are Buddha Names which could be put up on the Bodhicharya website so people can recite them if they wish?
Thank you so much!
Max Pohlendt
Dear Rinpoche
When meditating is it better to have our eyes open or closed,and why.
Thank you
