The following is an excerpt from a teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo called “Essence of Devotion”
Although the Buddha that we remember as Siddhartha, Gautama Buddha, Shakyamuni is not present in his physical body as we understand it right now, we look at the Lama as the embodiment of the qualities, intentions, compassion and [...]
Category: Essence of Devotion Su2-01, Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo By Norma on May 17, 2012 An important message, letter or communication happens today. It’s most crucial to speak in a kind, diplomatic manner. Angry or demanding speech harms your cause and you will be ignored, or worse. The urge to “tell people off” is strong today, as is the wish to push others who aren’t responding the way you would [...]

An excerpt from a teaching called The Eightfold Path by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
Right speech is the first principal of ethical conduct on the Eightfold Path. And on the Eightfold Path is really based on ethical conduct. It’s one of the things that I like best about Buddhism. It isn’t based on a pie-in-the-sky [...]

Meditating Feet
I’ve been a little off lately-
Voices from the past
A tender dream I had that could not last
Better get my meditating feet on the ground.
Them old Blues is coming round.
Quiet my heart, don’t be misled.
Need to put this story straight to bed.
Do some contemplation in my head.
What’s done is done, and I done bled.
Beat the odds, and I survived
Now I need to feel the love inside.
See, what I get is what I provide
Loving freely really opens your eyes!
Still those Blues keep coming round.
Tiny little feet, great big sound.
Get those meditating feet on the ground
Stick with truth, who’s lost is found
I know that’s true, and true don’t lie
Cling to happy and it makes you cry
Try to hold on, you moan and sigh
Just let go, and try to fly.
Don’t let those voices make you cry.

Meditating feet
not on the ground?
Slippery slope will bring
you down!
(Yes, Lama!)
Thought about this
all day long.
Push my fat ego
with your song.
(Yes, Lama!)
Through a window
small and slippery,
but that’s the size
of my opportunity!
(Yes, Lama!)
Loved it!
Thank you Jetsunma! This is beautiful!
Thank you, Jetsunma.
What a relief! Thank you, Jetsunma.
