Temple at Khadro Ling
In Tibetan the word for temple is lhakhang, meaning house of deities. Who are these deities? They are the expressions of the glorious array of the enlightened qualities that spontaneously surface from our own pure nature.
The paintings on the walls include the life of the Buddha Sakyamuni and images of peaceful and wrathful deities who embody the qualities that benefit all living beings: compassion, generosity, patience, and fierce clarity. The vivid images, colors, and ornaments awaken us from our limited, ordinary perception to the limitless possibilities of our minds. We cultivate these possibilities through faith, offerings, purification, and receiving the teachings that clarify them.
