Tread lightly today.  During the same time frame, it is possible to be both wildly inspired and creative, and to also make a complete mistake.  The sudden whim or hunch is the mistake, and the slow growing inspiration is the winner.  Timing is everything today. Think, think, think!  Don’t go off on an emotional tangent or you will regret it.  You’re tempted to push or muscle something through, but don’t do it.  Let it ride.  You are like a bull that wants to charge, but isn’t sure of the direction.  Relax.

Can A Woman Give Empowerment?

by

An Announcement from Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

I have some great news! When Lama Lobsang comes to KPC, he will teach me to give empowerment from Nam Cho Cycle!  This has been in the works for some time and I look forward to that. I will then travel more.  His Holiness Penor Rinpoche set this up before his Parinirvana, and I have the strong aspiration to fulfill HIS wishes! His Holiness Penor Rinpoche said, “What better source than Guru Rinpoche’s YUM?

I will give the Guru empowerments first. Then the Dakini! And then accomplish more. So exciting, when he comes I will begin the training. Paljor will help with translation. I will never be a speed-reader, though.

Buddha’s Sons and Daughters

by


An excerpt from a teaching called How to Pray by Being by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

The monks and nuns who wear their robes are actually wearing the garment that Lord Buddha himself wore, in exactly the same way, with all the same little stitches in the same funny places. It’s all very complicated, but it all means something.

The robes keep us mindful that we are all the Buddha’s sons and daughters. When we wear the robes of the Buddha, we should not think that this is some sort of burden or that we are doing Buddha a favor or anything like that. We should think that these robes are like our own lifeblood. They protect us. They keep us mindful.

There is a difference between being in the world and wearing Lord Buddha’s clothing and being in the world in ordinary clothes. There is a difference in our mind. There is also difference in the response of other people toward us.

Perhaps you just made a serious decision.   Don’t worry.  It was a good one!  Emotional volatility is in the air, and if you feel disturbed or angry after speaking with someone, consider that the other person is upset.  Beware of taking on the concerns of others, stick to your own.  Beware of being recruited as a soldier in somebody’s grudge war.  Be sympathetic, however.  You’ve been there, or you will be there eventually. George Bernard Shaw said, “Everything happens to everybody sooner or later.”

Sang Wisdom

by

Sang Wisdom to the Fire, “Warm me.” And he replied, “Breathe, Beloved,” for he knew her breath was fire too. So she did, and the cycle was complete.

Cried Wisdom to the fire, “Carry me.”  And he replied, “Sing, Beloved!”  For he knew that the sound of ecstasy was a song he had heard and never forgotten, once, and very soon again.  So she did. And the nectar of love filled the worlds.

Called Wisdom to the fire, “I cannot see you! Come to me!” And he replied, “Close your eyes, Beloved,” for he knew that Wisdom is innocent of time and space. So she did, and she remembered.

Thus the magical empowerment of the Divine Consorts was born again, and filled the worlds.

The sweetness tasted again of what has always been- ONE.

Written by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo on Nov 1996

Diplomacy day!  You have the gift of gab, and genuine charm is in your words.  A suggestion or criticism can be said in such a way that the recipient is happy to comply with your wishes.  Be straightforward with others; don’t use your magic words to deceive.  You transition from a physical to a mental perspective today. Make plans, but be careful to stay in the here and now.  Winston Churchill said, “It is a mistake to look too far ahead.  Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.”

Beware of making a mistake and moving off in the wrong direction.  Be flexible in your thinking, and be especially careful that you don’t grab a slogan and stick with it no matter what.  G.K. Chesterton said, “My country, right or wrong” is like saying, ‘My mother, drunk or sober!'” Notice where you are stuck mentally, and change your mind, consider new options.  Unexamined attitudes can cause you trouble today, but if you are alert, you will successfully move through this time.  Your thinking improves.

Indecision is your fate early in the day.  As time passes a change occurs, and you are definite about what you want.   Then go!  A financial opportunity that is in tune with the times appears today. Take it.  If a decision pencils out financially, go for it.  You have just passed through a time of indecision and that feeling could linger.  Shake it off, because it’s time to get moving.  Your mind is stable.  Call people, get in touch with others.  Old loves are still in the picture.  This is a good time to re-vamp your wardrobe, go to the hairdresser, and generally spiff up your presentation.  When your ship comes in, you want to look good as you greet it.

From “The Way to Freedom” Beings of Great Scope

by

This is from Kyabje HH DalaiLama.

The Buddha’s activities- from the beginning of his cultivating the wish to help others to the accumulating of merit and his eventual achievement of enlightenment- were ALL done for the sake of other sentient beings.

The welfare of other sentient beings is classified into two types: Temporary welfare, which is the achievement of favorable rebirth, and ultimate welfare, which is the achievement of liberation and the omniscient state. All the teachings associated with the achievement of favorable rebirth in the future are said to belong to the category of small scope.

When talk of our ultimate aim, it is of two types. Liberation from suffering and omniscience. All the teachings related to the practice of achieving personal Liberation are teachings of the middle scope. For this purpose practioners of middle scope engage in the practice of ETHICS, concentration and wisdom and then ELIMINATE the delusions and achieve liberation from suffering and rebirth.

All the teachings that outline the techniques for achieving the omniscience of Buddhahood, including both the Sutra AND Tantra vehicle are teachings related to practioners of great scope. A being of great scope is someone whose mind is motivated by great compassion for all other sentient beings and who wishes to achieve enlightenment FOR THEIR SAKE.

Thus one group can think only of a future life; these are people of little scope. People in the second group are not preoccupied with the concerns of the future life alone but are able to think of something more distant, liberation from rebirth; these are beings of the middle scope. Yet other people are not concerned only with their own welfare but are more courageous. They are concerned with the welfare also of other sentient beings, and THESE are the beings of GREAT scope.

From Kyabje His Holiness the Dalai Lama, extracted from “The WAY TO FREEDOM.
