icarusWell, drat.
Back in 1986, the Venerable Gyaltrul Rinpoche gave instructions on how to do the mandala practice. The thing is, my boyfriend at the time and I were late getting back from lunch. We missed the beginning part of the instruction. Not the part about the meaning of the practice. But we slunk in as the mandala offering was being demonstrated by Sangye Khandro, the translator. Whoops.
Reading books about mandala, they focused on the meaning of the practice and not the practical how to do it. But a friend gave me a diagram and I thought I had it right.
Erm. Not entirely?
This doesn't mean I need to start over, does it? I mean, the meaning's the important part, right?
Anyway, much appreciate Tsem Tulku's concise, practical and rather tongue-in-cheek explanation. "If you don't have time and you're lazy, do the long version. If you're busy and not lazy, do the short version. If you have time and you're lazy, do the long version."
