Aspirational Prayer shared 12/2/09 via Twitter

I am thinking of so many, having lost their homes this year. And with children. With the holidays upon us- how painful! How to help?

As funding and housing and money dry up- where will the homeless go? How will they feel blessed this year? What can we do in our community?

The greatest gift now is to give rise to compassion in one’s mind. And then put it to work helping others. #Gifting, #Service-these are ways
I cannot be happy without helping others, we are not separate. I will always return for the liberation of ALL sentient beings.

May I be the last to obtain Supreme Liberation so I can aid all beings. May I see the bliss if their Liberation with my own eyes!

May I not become bored or weary of helping others, and be reborn to teach the Supreme Doctrine! I will move gently with respect and love.

May I be born as whatever is needed! As a cool stream, wholesome food, shelter and warmth, a soft pillow to rest the weary. Sun upon your face!

May I never abandon my sacred vows- not even for an instant. May Blessings and Love pour from my heart like a great river, unstoppable!

May all beings be free! May there be an end to suffering! May all beings be free! And none left behind. Samsara emptied from the depths!

Happy, upbeat feelings are in the air!  An old love may re-appear and artistic or creative ventures are favored.  Love is fun and breezy, and you really enjoy your studies and your spirituality.  You feel an expansive love toward others.  You could be pressed to choose between a man and a woman today.  Try to balance both as opposed to favoring one and rejecting the other.  You need both!

Early today a sense of emotional blockage prevails which becomes resolved during the course of the day.  An emotional grievance or a hurt associated with a woman can be cleared up.  You are relieved of old pain, and you want to talk about it! You are able to see both sides of this issue in a mature way. Happy times talking with others is possible, and communication of every sort is favored.  Writing, driving, emailing, and walking around the neighborhood are fun and rewarding activities.

Watch out for fights today.  People are touchy and won’t back down if they feel their pride or pocketbook is threatened.  A fixed quality is in the air, and you don’t want to budge or be flexible.  Everyone is feeling stubborn so just wait out the situation.  It could seem as though every avenue is blocked or at a dead end.  This is a “let go and let God” day.  Nutty, unproductive ideas could seem very appealing.  Try not to buy anything.  Eat, drink, be with friends and relax.  Groups are always enjoyable, but have no expectations.

Relax, take it easy today.  Forward activity may prove fruitless or wasted until midday.  In the afternoon tend to finances.  A major change could appear in finances and a bill could be paid that is past due. New financial options are considered, and it’s a good day to balance the checkbook and think of money matters.  Work steadily and don’t over do.  Have a good dinner and get a lot of sleep.  Enjoy the good things of life.  Pay attention to your loved ones.

This is a major day for forward activity.  Your intelligence, energy and emotions are all in line for favorable movement.  Emotionally you are adventurous and willing to take risks.   An excellent day for surgery, pruning and cutting away deadwood.   Problems can be energetically resolved and brisk exercise or activity is emphasized..  Call your friends and loved ones, communicate with spiritual friends or leaders, write letters, begin new projects.

Cultivating Virtue

by

intergenerational_garden

The following teaching is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

Happiness is a habit to be cultivated from within. Our minds are habitual but like a rider on a horse you must direct it.

Like a gardener we must cultivate good qualities. Why follow anyone with poor habits and bad qualities?

Good qualities and habits: attitude of gratitude, generosity, compassion, selflessness, right thinking, understanding of cause and result…

Don’t get caught in the trap of judgment – criticism, whining, neediness, selfishness, sloth, greed, and mindless unhelpful chatter.

What is your work? Is it in line with your morality, beliefs, conscience, does it help others? Is it honest work? These things really matter

The mind really is like a muscle to be used and developed. But so is the heart. Ethics are extremely important!

We make peace within ourselves, it does not visit, we cannot catch it. When our elements are in balance we are peaceful.

Anger, violence, grasping, fearfulness, ignorance, hatred, constant desire- these are some habits that keep us unbalanced.

If we have poor habits and qualities we also have no self esteem. And we go further into the chaos of falsity and lies. Crazy!

In short; be a proper gardener! Pull the weeds of bad habit and quality and plant the seeds of loving kindness! You will BLOOM!

Early in the day a time of emotional blockage and frustration is present but later in the day the situation reverses and ends well.  You move through a sense of being caught or obstructed you’re ready to move on..  This is an exciting, heady time.  Set new goals and look to the future.  Vigorous activity is good…run, be active, or plan home improvements.  Call your mother.  No matter how the conversation goes you’ll feel good afterwards.

Love is in the air!  An exciting new emotional connection suddenly appears.  New inspiration comes; new people, new ideas and new romance arrives as if from nowhere.  Emotions are stimulated and everything seems new and different. Love connections that suddenly appear can be durable and sudden flashes of inspiration can lead to new ways of evaluating and solving old problems.  Intuition is highlighted and artistry and emotionalism are present in a favorable way.  Hunches are accurate. Charge!    Throw caution to the wind. And go back and fix any messes tomorrow.

Group activity and friendship are favorable and a source of enjoyment.  A new idea or communication could open up a different line of thought that leads to success. Rational, big picture thinking is favorable.  Set long term goals based on reality rather than on wishful thinking. Emotions are confusing today but strategic thinking is right on the money.  Avoid confrontations with governmental organizations or those in power, you can’t win.
