Indecision is your fate early in the day.  As time passes a change occurs, and you are definite about what you want.   Then go!  A financial opportunity that is in tune with the times appears today. Take it.  If a decision pencils out financially, go for it.  You have just passed through a time of indecision and that feeling could linger.  Shake it off, because it’s time to get moving.  Your mind is stable.  Call people, get in touch with others.  Old loves are still in the picture.  This is a good time to re-vamp your wardrobe, go to the hairdresser, and generally spiff up your presentation.  When your ship comes in, you want to look good as you greet it.

From “The Way to Freedom” Beings of Great Scope

by

This is from Kyabje HH DalaiLama.

The Buddha’s activities- from the beginning of his cultivating the wish to help others to the accumulating of merit and his eventual achievement of enlightenment- were ALL done for the sake of other sentient beings.

The welfare of other sentient beings is classified into two types: Temporary welfare, which is the achievement of favorable rebirth, and ultimate welfare, which is the achievement of liberation and the omniscient state. All the teachings associated with the achievement of favorable rebirth in the future are said to belong to the category of small scope.

When talk of our ultimate aim, it is of two types. Liberation from suffering and omniscience. All the teachings related to the practice of achieving personal Liberation are teachings of the middle scope. For this purpose practioners of middle scope engage in the practice of ETHICS, concentration and wisdom and then ELIMINATE the delusions and achieve liberation from suffering and rebirth.

All the teachings that outline the techniques for achieving the omniscience of Buddhahood, including both the Sutra AND Tantra vehicle are teachings related to practioners of great scope. A being of great scope is someone whose mind is motivated by great compassion for all other sentient beings and who wishes to achieve enlightenment FOR THEIR SAKE.

Thus one group can think only of a future life; these are people of little scope. People in the second group are not preoccupied with the concerns of the future life alone but are able to think of something more distant, liberation from rebirth; these are beings of the middle scope. Yet other people are not concerned only with their own welfare but are more courageous. They are concerned with the welfare also of other sentient beings, and THESE are the beings of GREAT scope.

From Kyabje His Holiness the Dalai Lama, extracted from “The WAY TO FREEDOM.

One hurdle has been successfully overcome, and another is waiting.  Men and women are at odds today, and two sides are present that won’t come together.  It’s necessary to make concessions, each side must give up something, for consensus to be reached. If you are emotionally upset, try to see the other side’s position.  Why?  Because you can’t win, and you will just look foolish if you keep pushing for your way.  Do go to the movies, be creative, go for a swim, go dancing, do something that gets you moving and gets your mind off the issue.  Have fun.

What Are We?

by

From a series of tweets by @jalpalyul on October 21, 2010

The wind is picking up. Funny, I know the Science of wind, but I still don’t know what it IS.  I know the Science of water, but still don’t understand it.

I feel the difference between hot and cold, yet it seems not a part of me. So who is ME?  The perception?  The molecules moving at variegated speeds and patterns?  What commonality between the warm and cool?  Space.  How can I perceive space as warm and cool?  What is perception?  Sight, smell, feel, etc, may have what we think are corresponding organs, yet they are also molecules floating in essentially empty space. Cool, warm, sight, sound.  What IS THIS and what are we?

Molecules, space, perception.  The first movement or absolute void nature.  Pristine is the display of Bodhicitta, the inherent luminousity that is the primal movement of pristine uncontrived emptiness.

OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA SIDDHI HUNG!

Goodnight all my Loves!

You could mouth off and offend someone.  Go back and apologize. A feisty emotional attitude is in the air, and someone could need coddling.  A firm “no” could meet your plans early in the day. Don’t worry, the situation will change if you go back, re-work your presentation, and try again.  Your mind is shrewder, deeper, and less vulnerable to indecision these days.  You can see what lies beneath the situation and respond accordingly.  Success is near in something that is being built.  Be nice, treat others with kindness. Margaret Cho said, “Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways, it can change someone’s life forever.”  This is a possibility, today.

You could have trouble making up your mind early in the day. Two options are present, and you just can’t decide which is preferable.  The general rule here is that when you can’t make up your mind, the best option hasn’t appeared.  So, wait.  Later in the day a decision comes easily.   A lazy, dreamy, eccentric emotionality is present in you.  This later changes, and you are energized.  Beware of charging into a roadblock.  Your temptation is to try to ram your way through any obstacles, but don’t do this.  The obstacle is stronger than you and it must be carefully worked out.  You may need to look for an entirely different route, that’s how firm the obstacle is. No problem, you’re still riding a wave of successful activity.

Love from the past is still coming back, and you can be successful engaging in activity you’ve done before.  An excellent aspect auguring success comes your way during the next week.   It is all systems go, action!  Your energy is strong, and when you start moving you don’t stop until you have attained your goal.  A fighting spirit is present, and you have the power to protect yourself and others.  You are formidable!  Margaret Cho said, “I have learned to love that which is meant to harm me, so that I can stand in the way of those who are less strong.  I can take the bullets for those who aren’t able to.”  You can too, today.

The Blessing of Tsog, the Ritual Food Feast

by

An excerpt from a teaching called How to Pray by Being by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Tsog or the ganachakra feast is very important to us.  It’s a way to connect body, speech and mind, using body, speech and mind.  During tsog, we make physical offerings, we recite mantra and we keep our minds stable in the practice. So the ganachakra feast has these three levels of practice.

A ganachakra feast is a celebration, a kind of banquet to all of the Buddhas, bodhisattvas and precious gurus. But it is also taking the food into ourselves as a blessing in order to honor the Buddha nature that is within us. So our own internal guru, our own enlightened nature, experiences the ganachakra feast as well. Although for most of us our Buddha nature is pretty clouded over, during Tsog we acknowledge the presence of the Buddha seed within us. The purpose of Tsog and all practice is to clear the way, like cleaning the windows so the sunlight can come in.

This is an excellent day on two fronts!  First, imagination, artistry and creativity combine with partnership opportunities.  Doctors are good, and healing is present.  Ideas, new strategies, and all planning go well.  Next, you can make investments and financial decisions that are excellent.  The god of action is friendly toward the gods of innovation and expansion!  Move forward!  Make the decision and go!  Don’t look back, don’t long for the past, and look to the future.  Dr. Seuss said, “Don’t cry because it’s over.  Smile because it happened.”  Face forward.

You are oriented and smart as a whip today!  Group activities are excellent, and your hopes and wishes can be attained if you plan carefully. Spend time with special friends and people you really care for.  Men are especially charming, handsome and agreeable today.  Women are magnetic, intelligent and volatile today.  Watch out!  An intriguing situation prevails where a happy experience is returning to you.  It seems you are able to re-live something you love.   Pablo Neruda said, “To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.”  Indeed.
