inpoche23

Care of Dharm

a Books

Dharm

a books contain the teachings of the Buddha; they have the pow

erto protect against low

er rebirth and to point the way to liberation. T

here-fore, they should be treated w

ith respect – kept off the floor and placesw

here people sit or walk – and not stepped over. T

hey should be coveredor protected for transporting and kept in a high, clean place separate fromm

ore mundane m

aterials. Other objects should not be placed on top of

Dharm

a books and materials. Licking the fingers to turn pages is consid-

ered bad form as w

ell as negative karma. If it is necessary to dispose of

written D

harma m

aterials, they should be burned rather than thrown in

the trash. When burning D

harma texts, it is taught to first recite a prayer

or mantra, such as O

M, A

H, H

UM

. Then, you can visualize the letters of

the texts (to be burned) absorbin

g into the A

H and the A

H absorbing

into you, transmitting their w

isdom to your m

indstream. A

fter that, asyou continue to recite O

M, A

H, H

UM

, you can burn the texts.

Lama Zopa R

inpoche has recomm

ended that photos or images of holy

beings, deities, or other holy objects not be burned. Instead, they shouldbe placed w

ith respect in a stupa, tree, or other high, clean place. It hasbeen suggested to put them

into a small structure like a bird house and

then seal the house. In this way, the holy im

ages do not end up on theground.
