Understanding AH

A Relic from the First Ahkon Lhamo, housed at Kunzang Palyul Choling in Poolesville, MD

 

From a Series of Tweets by @ahkonlhamo

Don’t get misled! “Ah” is Sanskrit or Tibetan. It is not Japanese or Chinese. It is the seed vowel of our Primordial Wisdom Nature, the very ground of being. Buddha Primordial! It is our own pristine face. Please don’t be confused.

It is so essential to understand “Ah,” as it is the primordial ground of display. The ground – Buddha nature. The path – Dharma, or method.  The fruit is Buddhahood. Notice the relationship of seed, ground; and fruit, result. Cause and effect! The result can never be other than the seed. One cannot awaken to Buddhahood if the ground and path, seed and method are wrong. Ground/method/result, seed/path/fruit.  THIS is what the Buddha taught. Do not be confused by false teachings. There is no magic, miracle cure for samsara. It’s not for slackers!

Dedicated to all those who in their ignorance, oppose the Buddha’s teaching.  May their afflictions be antidoted.  May they find peace and happiness.

Excellent thinking and good communication are present today. You can think, plan and talk your way through your issues in a way that is flexible and realistic. Details are accurate and a phone call or bit of information from the right source seals the deal! Exercise is excellent as is going out and seeing or doing something new.  Your idea or plan can translate into financial good fortune! Do it! Listen to women and children and people in positions of authority.  They can provide the information that re-frames things into a workable package.  Cicero said, “The mind is stronger than the body, so the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.”  Your mind is healthy today!  Use it.

Love kicks off the day in a happy way. Christopher Morley said, “If we all discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone would be occupied by people calling other people to tell them that they loved them.”  Keep this in mind as you move through the issues you face today. You are balancing delicately opposing forces, and the outcome is extremely important to your cause.  Pressure, tension, yes they are present.  At the same time, keep the big picture in mind and you have a real chance of succeeding.  The mode changes from fixed to flexible during the course of the day, and if you change your mind about something, take action!

You’re still working to accomodate a friend’s wishes and you feel somewhat overwhelmed.  At the same time you’re enjoying your work as well as the people you meet.  This is a good day to spend time shopping, banking, preparing food.  Take time to relax frequently during the day and you’ll re-charge rapidly.  A financial decision is successful and brings good results, and you choose quality items while shopping. If you follow a fantasy or illusion today you will be disappointed, but if you do something you are both good at and love doing, you will succeed.  John Ruskin said  “When love and skill work together expect a masterpiece.”  Nice.

Introduction to Mantra Recitation

by

from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

If you see any animal dying, even a bug or worm, recite audibly *OM AMI DEWA HRI* then *OM MANI PEDME HUNG* to bless them, for a good rebirth.

If you or someone you know suffers from mental confusion recite *OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI* to Bodhisattva Manjushri and then *DHI D D D….. At least one full MALA of each.

If you are on the spiritual path and wish to find your Guru or repair any connection with GURU recite *OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG* That is the Mantra for GURU Padmasambhava, the lotus born Guru.

If one sees a disaster, natural or otherwise; or many suffering pray to Tara, Mother of all Buddhas recite; *OM TARE TU TARE TURE SOHA*

A sleeping dragon wakes!  Someone you assumed would agree with you steps up and challenges you.  You must scurry about, pacifying this one at the same time you are dealing with the usual problems.  It’s tempting to be hard on the balking ally, but tread gently.  This person has your best interests at heart, and there are issues you need to resolve. Listen carefully to what is expressed and be willing to change your plans. At times we’re less tolerant of our friends, expecting them to toe the party line and giving them less freedom of independent thought, than we are of our opponents.  Tread lightly and remember Frankie Byrne’s words “Respect is love in plain clothes.”  Be respectful of everyone, even your friends!

Put the finishing touches on a piece of work you’ve been doing..  Again the home front is the place to be today. Time away from the hustle and bustle of outside activity is precious.  John Howard Payne said, “To thee I’ll return, overburdened with care; The heart’s dearest solace will smile on me there; No more from that cottage again will I roam; Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.”  That about sums up this day.  Call your mother or your kids. Do a bit of cooking.
