Be a true yogi and do not be satisfied with any spiritual attainment less than the Divine Body.

The main purpose of practicing Astang yoga is to release the negativities trapped inside you for thousands of eons. This is done through a process of sequential internal purification of your body, mind, and soul. Once you have learnt to do that, you will be able to harness the positive life energy or prana within you, execise control and stay focused all the time. You will be in control of everything that comes your way. You'll experience harmony in life when you've learnt to take one day at a time and live in the here and now. You will not have false expectations for the future nor will you linger in the past. You truly will accept yourself and will learn to love all people in the world.  You'll treasure every moment of your life and learn to live one day at a time.

Ashang yoga is the classical eight-fold path of yogi codified by the Sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras. The eight limbs (or steps) of ashtanga yoga are:

  1. yam (vows),
  2. niyam (observances), 
  3. asana (postures) i.e. physical exercises designed to restore the natural balance of the body,
  4. pranayam (breathing exercises),
  5. pratyahar (withdrawal from the sense),
  6. dharana (concentration),
  7. dhyan (meditation), and
  8. samadhi (complete absorption in the Self).

Prototype of Life

webassets/Ksitigarbha_sutra.jpg
webassets/post20oct09chi_cr.jpg

In reading sutras, esp. Mahayana sutras, do not personify the deities, but instead learn to assimilate their nature and merit into your own. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is not a person but one of life's main prototypes or existents, and so is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. We assimilate these prototypes into our own nature.

Most people never question the purpose of their lives.
Have you really sought the path of your own life?
How do you walk this path such that nothing will bind you down?
You must answer these questions yourselves from your own experiences!
Do not rely on others; live to the full potential of your life.
Live to see your own brilliance! Live to smell your true fragrances!
To seek positively the value and meaning of life, you must lay out its blueprint by assimilating a certain life's prototype...

- excerpt from Ven. Haiyun Jimeng's Dharma talk on the Ksitigarbha Sutra 2008 available on YouTube and in DVD
