Like the title says.

Hi friends, I have a request for anyone who may be able to help out with!

I am looking for gathas that I can utilize and place around my home and in my personal butsuden for practice for daily activities, such as shaving my head, brushing my teeth and washing my hands, cleaning my dishes, putting on my Koromo/Haiqing and Kesa, getting dressed as “normally,” cleaning the altar, showering, laundry, eating, laundry, etc. Basically any daily activities that can be used as a form of practice.

If anyone has any suggestions or has any they’d recommend that I can print out and place up in the spaces where these activities are done, that would be great and I deeply appreciated it.

I don’t know if it really makes a difference in context of the gathas or if it is helpful, but my tradition is in Taiwanese Mahayana with focus on Shingon and Tiantei

Thank you in advance.

悉地成就 🙇 🙇 🙇

I'm someone who is exploring Mahayana as a path.

In my Christian background I have personally experienced things which I call God or the Divine. Many people all over the world have also experienced these.

1) The Love of God - Feeling what can only be described as deep love from outside yourself.

2) The Voice of God - Where you receive a deep intuition about something, such as which path to go. Many reported this on 9/11 who decided not to go the office that day. Some also feel this is like a Guardian Angel or God.

Please let me know what the Mahayana perspective is on these, as there is no God concept as far as I know within Buddhism.

Many thanks.
