About the Buddha Kuntunzangpo:
Kuntunzangpo is depicted as a buddha, sky-blue in colour, sitting in the vast expanse of space, and encircled by an aura of rainbow light. He is completely naked, meaning unstained by any trace of concept. His name, Kuntuzangpo in Tibetan, Samantabhadra in Sanskrit, means ‘always good’, ‘always well’ or ‘unchanging goodness.’ What this signifies is that unchanging goodness, or fundamental goodness, is our ultimate nature.
In the Dzogchen teachings, our true nature, that state of the Ground, is given the name the ‘Primordial Buddha’. Sogyal Rinpoche writes, “[Kuntuzangpo] represents the absolute, naked, sky-like primordial purity of the nature of our mind”.
Very powerful prayer of Kuntuzangpo/Samantabhadra or kunzang monlam (“The Recitation of the Powerful Prayer in which Sentient Beings Cannot Resist Becoming Buddha”)
We humbly offer you the opportunity to practice generosity by helping to make the Buddha’s teachings available in our community
Suggested donation (towards food/offerings) £20
