This is an excellent day for groups, friends and new beginnings.  Machines, technology and things from space are just wonderful.  We live in the space age, and here it is!  Get wired up, be part of the communication network.  Inventions and forward-looking activities are the name of the game.  Artistic endeavors are favored, and a serious partnership is in the process of being formed.  What you arrange during this time will be long lasting.  New inventions are your best friend.  If you’re tired of learning about “new fangled things” have a young person teach you what you need to know.   The future is here, in this moment.  Be present for it, stay in step with it.  Graham Greene said, “There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.”  The door is opening for everyone, not just children.

The daily astrology post affects everyone. Because individual charts vary, the circumstances outlined in the post will affect people differently. Some will feel this energy in the personal arena, some in finances, some with children or family, some in work and so forth. There are many departments of life. Look to see where the dynamic affects you!

Pray for the Earth

by

From a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

In fifteen hours North-west Queensland will have a category five hurricane make landfall. No one alive today, I hear, has ever seen that. We also hear this monster is growing. For the people of Australia I pray: may this be pacified. KPC will do Vajra Kilaya Tsog as it comes in.

Our planet has been harmed so badly by our mindlessness and selfishness that it no longer has the capacity to absorb our callousness. Huge storms brewing here too and it will only get worse unless we all collectively wake up and do something. All we do is talk. We need action. The suits won’t listen unless they get paid. But this is our planet – so far, the only one. And we are making it a sewer of neglect.

We must link our prayer together in such a way as to heal and raise the very molecules we stand on to a higher vibration. We are all inherently Buddha so we must fulfill our dedication to benefiting sentient beings by being caretakers of the earth. All our filth and trash is killing our mother, “earth” and it reflects the shallow non virtue we all share. Our planet reflects our minds, and it was once pure and undefiled, like our nature. Then as non-virtue increased so did the filth we laid on our planet. Our indigenous people know this, and have spoken. They are still connected with our mother. We have left her. Raped her. Dishonored her. And in so doing we are destroying ourselves, because our particles come from earth and sun. Our physical parents, mom and dad are the outer. Our inner natures are the earth and her consort, the sun. Our secret nature is the face and essence of the primordial consorts, Samantabhadra  and Samantabhadri. That is our nature!

Therefore we cannot allow our precious planet to be destroyed! People on the other side of the world are not “other” people. We are the same nature! They are us! Pray!

Excellent connections happen today.  A spacious, loving and fearless energy urges you forward.  If someone speaks of serious concerns, listen carefully and respect the experience of the speaker.  Wisdom appears from a deep and ancient source.  Pay attention.  The overarching theme of the times is action and forward motion.  People who have benefited from inaction and lack of forward motion will complain that things were fine as they were.  Sympathize with those nostalgic for the past, but don’t be one of them.   We love the past most when we have stopped moving forward.  Theodore White said, “To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.”  Be a hero.

Statement About the Karmapa

by

From a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

I’d like to mention that many people are asking me the details of the issues with His Holiness the 17th Karmapa. My answer – I don’t gossip or judge other lineages. Gossip is not my way. To gossip about another lineage is not what I’m about. It causes dissension and anger in the sangha, harms the Three Jewels and causes only bad result. Buddhists should reject gossip as wrong speech and ignorance.

I do know about the situation, but not one word of of gossip or slander about His Holiness the 17th Karmapa or the Kagyu lineage will come from my mouth or activity, I have no secret or inside knowledge.  Anyone asking should find those that gossip, not me.  Any other lineage besides Palyul is not for me to pass judgment on, simply not my job. I have nothing but respect for the Kagyu lineage and His Holiness the 17th Karmapa.

For all my students I advise not to gossip and pray we will all keep our own practice alive and well.

The First Karma Kuchen Rinpoche

by

The Fourth Throne Holder

The First Karma Kuchen Rinpoche, Karma Tashi
(1728 – 1791)

The first Karma Kuchen was born as Karma Tashi in the twelfth rabjung year of the Earth Monkey (1728) in the town of Ahchog in Do Kham. His birth was foretold in many prophecies. He was recognized as the incarnation of the condensed essence of many Great Vidyadharas of the past. Karma Tashi himself recalled he was a manifestation of Migyur Dorje. Other revelations acknowledged him as the body emanation of Kundrol Namgyal, the speech emanation of Kathog Drimed Shing Kyong and the mind emanation of Duddul Dorje.

He became the heart disciple of Drubwang Pedma Norbu and received all the transmission and practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen from his root guru. He was enthroned by Drubwang Pema Norbu as the fourth Throne Holder of the Palyul Lineage in the presence of the thirteenth Karmapa Duddul Dorje and the tenth Sharmpa Chodrup Gyatso. With a great vision to promote the Dharma to greater heights, he propagated strict doctrine among his disciples and established many retreat facilities within the grounds of the monastery.

Tsenltha Rabten, King of Gyarong, had been at war with China for thirteen years when Karma Tashi was invited to China. A Bonpo lama who served as the guru of King Rabten decided to use his power of black magic to unleash a massive shower of rocks upon the Chinese forces from the sky. Out of compassion for the safety of the Chinese troops, Karma Tashi offered special protection cords to the soldiers to protect them against the ill fortunes of war. As a result, not one single soldier who wore his protection cord was harmed and Tsenltha Rabten was defeated. It was an overwhelming victory for China and the Chinese Emperor Chan Lung, in a gesture of gratitude, appointed Karma Tashi as the State Guru of China.

Karma Tashi, also known as Chopal Zangpo, dissolved his mind into the pure realm of truth at the age of sixty-three. The bone relics he left behind were preserved within a bronze Stupa and placed inside the Chag-dra-khang temple of Palyul monastery.

Friendship is in bloom, and a specific relationship or group is growing in energy and importance.  Men are especially enthusiastic and ready to move with the times, and they will lead the effort if necessary.  It’s a brand new day.  Leaders are strong and willing to take charge.  An entrenched energy or group must change or it will become obsolete, bypassed in the tide of new directions.  Notice the areas where you feel complacent, satisfied, or unaware.  That area may be your Achilles heel, ripe for change.  Test yourself, and move out of your comfort zone.  Lady Bird Johnson said, “The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.”  Wrap yourself up in something.

A worldly energy is at work today.  Don’t spend your time in the house; being in the world is where the action is!  You are able to inspire yourself in private, but use that energy to advance your cause, whatever it may be.  You are pleased with yourself.  Be careful that you don’t become so excited about your plans that your head is in the clouds and you’re tripping over the sidewalk.  Artistic and creative pursuits are especially favored over the next three days, as is music, so create your project and keep working on it.  At a certain point today, your cheery enthusiasm comes down to earth.  Reality strikes in the form of some serious news, or perhaps you hear of someone with health or business problems.  Pay attention.  Be happy about happy issues and serious about serious issues.  Friends and groups continue to be absolute powerhouses.  Don’t stand in their way or you’ll get run over, but do support them.  Theodore Roosevelt said, “Get action. Seize the moment.  Man was never intended to be an oyster!”  Well said.

Happy day!  Someone loves you and they are in your corner.  You are assured of a good reception wherever you go.  Happiness, joy, and enthusiasm are here. People associated with universities and colleges, as well as spiritual folks, are in a really good mood. Spiritual leaders and public speakers are especially persuasive. Today you have particularly good taste, so go shopping. You’ll be glad you did later.  Assertiveness is in the mix, but it works.  A new leader or an inspiring voice is heard.  It is the voice that encourages you to take action, so do it!  Listen.  A time of uncertainty or confusion has ended, and clarity is in the picture. Sivananda Saraswati said, “Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even to your smallest acts.  This is the secret of success.”  Good advice.
