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!

Thank you , Jetsunma
we are among those who live in the cyclone path om mani padme hung
Thank you Jetsunma. I am following Yasi’s progress tonite as it heads towards land. I am very sad to say that PETS WERE NOT TO BE ALLOWED into the evacuation centres that were set up, and where nearly 11,000 people are taking shelter. After the devastation created by the same decision during the Katrina aftermath, I am very sad. We humans are so self-cherishing and show such little regard to the world we depend on for our very lives and those beings who depend on us to care for them. Prayers tonite for all beings in the water, in the sky and on the earth.
Thank you, Jetsunma. Your prayers, and those of the Sangha, have been powerful. The full extent of the predicted disaster did not eventuate, although the suffering to all beings in Yatsi’s path is still enormous and will continue for a long time. The earth is truly groaning from the evil that humans wreak upon it. May we all wake up quickly. May our compassion for the beings in the water and sky and on the earth be limitless.
