This is a nightmare. Bella is critical. Beloved Tex is in endstage at hospice, and I’m flat out with a wrenched back. I hoped to see Tex and Marissa, but I can’t walk.
Trying to breathe, watching the mind process this. When there is so much sorrow and stress it is hard to see around, over or through phenomena.
Bella may not have long. Tex has two days or so. We are scrambling to pay large bills, and the hate I’ve had thrown at me, I must pull back, breathe. Relax mind.
Karma ripens much worse if mind’s upset. The root and display are not separate. Rest the mind on AH, the point of arising and non-arising. Same. Nondual view.
Sometimes cause and result can be shifted, but not erased. We cannot be so compelled by appearance that we are powerless. We are primordial space.
For Tex, the karma is exhausted. For Bella, not so much, so prayer is essential. For Tex, he needs to be guided through the bardo. I prepare for that.
If I let myself stay in an emotional blender I will be no use. So I watch my mind, breathe for Bella, guide Tex to a good rebirth. OM MANI PEDME HUNG
Today the skies do my crying, the wind does my sighing, yet even now gentle rains call forth new life from the very earth.
Beloved Jetsunma,
We pray for your peace of heart, health and well-being. We, too, have just had our beloved canine son, Mahamudra (a rescue from Vajrapani)pass over, and also our wonderful cat, Skye (a 9-11 ground zero rescue) only 10 weeks before Mahamudra. We are so sorry to hear about Bella, may she have a blessed afterlife and a greater reincarnation! We are doing our small bit to help KPC and pray all will be well.
Om mane padme om!
Blessings and love to you,
Leslie Austin and Margaret Haas
I send all my love. May I take all your teachings fully into my heart.
Jetsunma, thank you for your loving guidance: perfect words from my Perfect Teacher! Love, KT
I pray that this teaching may never be far from my mind, and I dedicate merit to all beings so that they may hear it as well.
I pray for this nightmare to dissolve into emptiness. I confess all my wrongdoings. I am so sorry for the losses of your good friends. I pray for your long long life and wonderfully good health. May you return again and again and again for the sake of all beings.
Thank you so much for the AH teaching. I have been practising it with Gulliver.
I will pray for all sentient-beings who are suffering in this world, and will dedicate all my practice to them as well. May this saha world become a pure-land one day soon.
Thank you. May I follow your example.
