Prayer to Be Reborn in Dewachen

With a longing to benefit beings who are sick and dying, Jetsunma created a song called “Prayer to Be Reborn in Dewachen.” This is a traditional prayer to Amitabha, the Buddha of Limitless Light, from the P’howa practice of the Longchen Nyigthig tradition. P’howa is the meditation practice for the time of death, and Amitabha is the deity to be visualized in that meditation.  “Dewachen” refers to the state of consciousness in which one experiences a pure land and the opportunity to accomplish liberation.

Jetsunma said,  “When I listened to this tune, I realized that it was like a mother singing her child to sleep, which really was my motivation when I sang that song.  I know that everyone that I love, I will be parted from someday.  Everyone that I meet will die some day.  I wish there was some way that they could be guided through the bardo individually.  And the best response that I know of is this prayer.”

Any being who listens to this prayer receives a blessing, whether Buddhist or non Buddhist, human or animal.  It is especially soothing for those who are chronically or acutely ill, or who are on the precipice of dying.  You can help beings by making this prayer heard by as many people and as many animals close to their death as possible.  It is available here:  Prayer to Be Reborn in Dewachen

Theme: The Rough with the smooth

There’s more prickly energy in the air as the Moon squares Mars and Neptune creating misunderstandings and misapprehensions. The nature of reality is not what it appears to be. However, Jupiter energy helps offset the deficit and invites you to be magnanimous and more accepting of others. There are learnings to be had in all circumstances. There’s no question dolphins are smarter than humans as they play more.~Albert Einstein

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 4.48pm until 1:26am the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Merging minds

With the Moon conjunct Neptune today you are shown how you are connected to a greater interconnected web of phenomena. This includes feeling connected and tuned in to others. However, emotional boundaries are harder to maintain. Your thinking is sharper and you have penetrating insights. Be patient today in terms of any progress you make in your relationship goals. Things spring to being and again they cease. Happy the marvel of them and the peace.~The Buddha

Theme: Uranian influences.

The Moon moves into Aquarius and Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) goes retrograde. The focus is strongly on Uranian energy, dynamic unexpected change, and calls on the consolidation of the experiences made in the last month in personal and social life. Whatever is suddenly brought to our attention represents what we must reform to help us better integrate a past cycle left unresolved, before we can be free to forge ahead into the future. Uranus is retrograde until January 2022, which gives time to integrate whatever challenges arise. We have all kinds of styles perching, sitting on the razors edge and we have also developed the style of spiritual materialism, which is constantly trying to substitute one myth for another.~Chogyam Trungpa

Theme: Focus

It’s a day for getting things done and by enlarge keeping your own company. You have more self-discipline today and are happy to work alone. You have more insight into yourself and the motivations that drive you and others. There is a sense of gratefulness for receiving a financial lift. Generosity is a virtue for individuals, not Governments. When governments are generous it is with other people’s money, other people’s safety, other people’s future.~PD James

Theme: It’s not a bad day…but

It’s both a challenging and uplifting day. One the one hand there is a natural harmony but you are also emotionally pulled in different directions. Someone or something presses your buttons. If you investigate the causes they lie beyond the immediate cause. The Moon moves into Sagittarius today bringing an adventurous, optimistic and exploratory energy to the next few days. If there were no freedom, beings could never disentangle themselves from the world.~The Buddha

Today the Moon is Void of Course from 12.30 pm EDT USA until 5.08 pm. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.

Theme: Wave upon wave

Deep seated emotions may arise today so try and deal with your feelings honestly. You will intuitively know the right moment for breaking through. You can then enjoy Moon sextile Mercury and easily verbalize what’s going on for you as the tempo of social communication increases via social media. At all times and in all situations, examine your mindstream moment by moment: are thoughts positive or negative? When you recognize a thought to have negative content, be aware of its potential for harm and lay it aside.~ Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Forces of good and challenges

There is a harmonious trine between the Moon, Venus and Neptune today putting you in touch with creativity, insight and beauty. This aspect inspires you to reach for the stars. But there is a counterweight. This is the challenging aspect between the Moon, Saturn and Uranus that creates inner tension and frustration. It’s finding the middle way that proves successful. Nobody is satisfied with their empty piece of paper. Therefore, we complicate everything!~Gyatrul Rinpoche

Theme: Under pressure

With a T-Square between the Moon, Saturn and Uranus today there will be a few hours where you feel hemmed in emotionally and unable to move forward without some difficulty. Avoid drama and remember to breathe. This too shall pass. With Mercury in its own sign there are more opportunities for talking, sharing and connecting with others through ideas – and faster communications in general. However, sometimes talking is just talking. Never-ending chatter stirs up likes and dislikes. It may be amusing and enjoyable, But it’s merely imitating the faults of others.~Chogyam Trungpa
