A Prayer to Compassionate Buddha

by

A Prayer from Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo

Lord Buddha, Buddha of Compassion,

Plant in my heart the seed of love,

Plant in the deepest part of me

The Light of Compassion.

Take from me all self-absorption.

Teach me to give myself over to Love.

Lord Buddha, do with me what is thy will.

Whether I am sad or human or angry.

Take from me all parts of myself.

Remove from me all obstacles for I have one purpose and one purpose only:

That where I am you might be;

That through me the Buddha of Compassion might come to the world.

I prostrate myself completely.

Let there be no self — only compassion.

Where I am let Love live.

You’re back with stars in your eyes, feeling lovey dovey toward someone.  Great.  Enjoy yourself.   At the same time, important negotiations are going on concerning a serious matter. You must take action, and you need to be careful.  Be assertive, and go to the source.  Moshe Dayan said, “If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends.  You talk to your enemies.”  Are you surrounding yourself, safely, with people who think you’re right about everything?  Check with people who don’t agree with you, and you’ll have a clearer picture of what needs to be done.  There are always two sides to every issue, and it’s good to know what the other side believes before you move forward.

Enthusiastic, that’s you today!  You are open to the new, looking up to the stars or to far off horizons for inspiration.  Good fortune can come from a distance, from expanding your base of operations.  Look up, widen your focus, and you will find solutions and new opportunities. Listen to inspiring words, go for a drive.  This is a good travel day.  And the bigger the better is the rule for today.  Supersize yourself!  Lord Chesterfield said, “Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it.  No idleness; no laziness; no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

Lovely One

by

I can see a brighter moment

Let it be done

Let the light spill over all the world

Let it come

Sing a song of sweet completion

Take the time

To start a better way

Living in kindness

Break the spell of fear

Here it is

In your eyes I see the feeling

You are here

Filled with sweet expectation

Fire away

Give it all you’ve got – don’t stop

You know we’ll love and pray

Be strong Be free

Be happy with me

Lovely one

New beginning day!  Today is the first day of…the rest of the month.  But don’t let that discourage you.  Every brick builds on the one before.  There are no great things in life, just one thing after another.  It’s only by looking back that progress is seen.  Today you have the impetus to begin a new project.  It has to do with money, finances, intrigue, and behind-the-scenes activity.  Do not speak of your plans to everyone; just the chosen few who are an integral part of the operation should be clued in.  This gives you the ability to negotiate carefully and accurately.  Beware of “talking away” your plans, of speaking so much of what you will do that you have no energy to do it.  Decide what you are going to do and begin, in no matter how small a way.  John Ruskin said, “I know well that happiness is in little things.”

Happy!  That’s you today.  Plus intelligent, shrewd, and able to begin anew.  Also you are hardworking.  John Ruskin said, “When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.” Today, you can create a masterpiece.  Work hard, then tend to your personal relationships this evening.  If you are in the process of negotiating a new business opportunity, look over every facet carefully.  Seeing both sides of the equation is of primary importance now.  Debate yourself or someone else.  First argue one side, then the other.  By doing this, you will be fully prepared for what comes.  Without this, a surprise could be in store.

Inspiration day!  Pay attention to your dreams and fantasies, you can come up with a new idea that is a winner.  Artists are creative and doctors are healing.  You can mediate between two opposing forces and arrive at an agreeable solution.  An old love still beckons to you; something you enjoyed from the past is in the present.  Say or do what you couldn’t before, this opportunity won’t last forever.  You have a second chance.  John Greenleaf Whitter said, “For all of sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’”  Don’t blow it this time.

Advice for the Courageous Practitioner

by

When you see someone who has accomplished more than you, wish them well, sincerely praying for them having even more! This is how one prepares for their next rebirth.

If you wish yourself to be “higher” than another, in a future time you will be even lower. We should celebrate other’s good fortune!

Those who are dying must have Prayer offered for them, or we will have a short life ourselves. If others are ill we must try to heal/help.

If we do not offer sympathy and food, shelter, we ourselves will suffer with loneliness and fear. Therefore it is best to be giving and kind.

If one finds HATRED and RAGE in their mindstream they will fall to the lower hell realms. Hate makes more hate, the mind is inflamed.

In order to practice Dharma bravely and completely one must have COURAGE and HONOR. These are the weapons needed to root out one’s poisons. Not for cowards!

If one Practices, Prays and Meditates, and shows the two kindnesses (ordinary and sublime) one will SURELY accomplish Dharma swiftly!

Disappointment comes early today, or a bad night may have passed.  Still, rouse yourself and get moving!  You can be extremely productive today.   Perhaps you’ve been full of wild energy but lacked a plan for action.  Today that changes.  You get the green light, and you move ahead.  Initiate things, speak to higher ups.  Write letters, articles, opinions, and theses.  Appeal to governmental agencies or spiritual leaders.  Later in the day you must deal with a serious situation.  George Washington Carver said, “How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong – because someday you will have been all of these.” This is an “all of these” day.
