The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
If , after some long time you cannot let go – ranting, raving and wailing for a year or more, that is called the suffering of suffering in Buddhism and can never be cured by hate, rage, or accusations.
Let it go, I do. The pain is yours, and only you can fix it, through compassion and self honesty. At least be honest with yourself!
There is treatment for PTSD, why make others deal with your pain because you won’t? You’ll feel better. To ruminate over pain is not helpful. Don’t you want to be free?

Relationship with the Guru is the “rocketship of Vajrayana”. These teachers appear for only one reason – us. So, we can rely utterly on their blessing.
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Tons of people partying now, paying crazy prices for the Superbowl.
The poor and hungry are still hungry. The homeless have no homes.
I feel ashamed. So much money to entertain the “haves.” While the poor weep, we mindlessly party. Chips? Pizza? Not food groups. Hunger needs real food.
Does USA still have a heart? I can’t tell. But I see the eyes of the poor, hungry, cold and they haunt me. Where is the love?
It is hard to celebrate America’s games while so many are in dire need. Are we celebrating the great divide? Some get seats, others not! When did American values get turned upside down? Wait. I remember. Not worth blaming. Only worth fixing.
Anyway, I once wrote songs about the truth.
So we feed and clothe the poor and sing our songs, desperately praying for relief. For their sake – we the people.

Shown 9/20/09. Given just after the 9/11 tragedy, Jetsunma encourages us to look within and reinvigorate our practice within. She also explains the imbalance at this time between the male and female. As women are defiled, so Tara is defiled and it’s up to us to uphold her.

In order to practice Spiritual Fidelity – being true to your own nature you need to understand what that nature is. Also, understand what it isn’t. This involves studying the faults of cyclic existence, so we can avoid those faults and stay directly focused on enlightenment to benefit all beings.
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
We are women
We are delicate and fragile
And inconceivably strong
Worlds are born from us
We are sacred
We are the oceans of the Earth
Seducing and touching the sand
This is our time
The following is a full length video teaching offered by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Developing concepts based on the teachings of the Buddha is a good first step. But then one must apply the antidotes to purify perception to really realize the natural state of luminosity and compassion. Don’t mistake the concept for the actuality.
The following is a full length teaching offered by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Every religion has a concept of what is considered compassionate or virtuous. What we find is that often we “look” compassionate instead of deepeing in our practice of Vajrayana. This generates the ultimate result of enlightenment.
The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
Looks like I may be on the move again. I do listen to my experts. And I am still transforming into my own superhero.
Evidently it ain’t over yet, too bad for us all. But I am braver and stronger.
When you disappear to avoid a stalker, they often go quiet. But they never forget. Neither should we. Feel safe by taking care of you.
It’s all I can say. Leave your life or work. Whatever, you have the right to save yourself. Survival is necessary to do anyone any good.
I believe in the rights of women and family – period. No one will take care of you like you. No proper laws are in place. No one considers women as important as men. Even if the woman contributes to society and the man is a total creep. She still loses. But she will always have the power to get it back.
In fact if we change the law we can change the world. Think of it – fair to women. No beatings. No stalking. No men who impregnate women and leave them with no help. No living in fear, rape, incest – world worth living in. It’s up to us. No one else gives a rat’s ass about women’s safety. Certainly not Judge Titus. How does he look at his family and know other families are at risk?
Dunno. Just know I can’t. I now advocate for women. Those who are upright and real, not goldbrickers. I don’t know how to afford this running life. But it will be OK somehow. I know because I feed homeless, rescue animals, feed and house birds, etc, the 99%.
So merit and karma prevail. And love. Love prevails, always, like water rushing over rock.
I’m with you, I love you. I love us. Be safe, do what it takes!

Hi all! Still hiding, and all is going well. I’m making progress on my Health Rider, and I’ve started to learn self-defense.
What the law won’t do for me, I’ll do for myself. What other choice does this system give women?
I have a heavy bag, gloves etc. And I’m gonna be a warrior. I’m tired of feeling like a victim, or wronged, or weak. I would never attack someone who didn’t attack first. This training is to be sure 1) I don’t need it 2) I won’t fold. I feel stronger already, more confident. I feel tougher. This is great!
Wait for the law to do the right thing? This patriarchy? Don’t think so. So many women die while running. I will stand my ground. No one else will.
I once had every confidence in the government and it’s laws. No more. I trust myself. I feel I can be both healing and loving, and impossible to take down. What a combo for women!
And gals, we are forced to take this rout because there is no law for us. None. And the restraining orders? As if paper will stop a psychopath. My mother had one, but she always let him back. He’d buy candy and flowers. But the real reason is, she had no money and would have to go on welfare. One day he broke her nose with a glass ashtray. Once he threw an axe at my brother, missed and cleaved a tree my brother hid behind. One day he shot and nearly killed a man. He was crazy and dangerous and he got five years for attempted murder. So did they care about the wife and kids? No.
That won’t happen to me. Sometimes women know when trouble is coming. I have good intuition and I’ll depend on myself if others don’t believe me. I won’t accept any opinions. This is my life and I’m gonna save it.
It hurts to know the law doesn’t care. You all need to learn this. There are excellent classes, mentors, non lethal equipment. Or lethal as well with proper training and a license. Believe in yourself; in your worth. Even just living in urban cities can make you candy for some freak with a lot of hate. You don’t have to be candy. Get trained. Stay alive. Change the game. Be a force to be reckoned with.
See you soon. When I “emerge” I’ll be a warrior. Join me! For all our sakes.
