Document Summary
The ritual dagger-> they drive it into the ground to show buddhist power. It repels dirt by little hairs on the leaves. Wearing skulls of humans come from mahayana ideas. An offering plate-> build a mini mandala on. An offering bowl-> tibetan buddhist art, (cid:498)images(cid:499) =statues. Once you understand reality you can manipulate and change reality. He will give us a review sheet with 15 passages on it (and 2 will be chosen) Life of buddha question will be combined with another and be careful with how you explain the significance of them. It is just for initiates, so probably you wouldn"t be taught it. Without the mahayana, vajrayana wouldn"t have existed and all its ideas. You don"t have to worry about the words. If you retell what the passage says in your own words-> you"ll be good. About 8 questions will be here and you"ll have to answer two.
