How to utilize not only Buddhist Practice by ordinary kindness and decency as an antidote to this trend. Jetsunma guides us on how to apply this antidote in our everyday lives, becoming a part of the solution rather than surrendering to the problems.

Astrology for 7/2/2024
7/2/2024 Tuesday by Wangmo
Theme: Mercurial moments
The Moon is in Gemini speeding up interactions and lightening encounters with others. It’s a time for messages to be sent and received. As the Moon approaches Jupiter expect more on your plate, and an expanded understanding of the bigger picture. The Sun is approaching Venus calming ruffled feathers and highlighting the important role nurturing (of self and others) plays in our lives.
…we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.~Thich Nhat Hahn
Astrology for 7/1/2024

Theme: Energized with care
Mars is conjunct the Moon in Taurus today which gives you more drive to accomplish but also can trigger outbursts. The good thing about Taurus is that it takes a lot to make this sign mad. Still, be on your guard. Mercury is trine Neptune creating a portal for insights from the unconscious. Dreams may carry more meaning than usual.
As you begin to understand the empty nature of things, your poisons will decrease.~Gyatrul Rinpoche
