You wake up happy and with a plan!  You were thinking in your sleep, and the result is good.  Talk things over with your inner circle, and with the boss, and you will feel stable.  Energetic action, initiating new activity and moving forward stabilize the situation.  Money or good luck come from activity, so [...]

The Heart of Experience is the Guru

The Heart of Experience is the Guru

An excerpt from the Mindfulness workshop given by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo in 1999

For many of you, I know that when we first started this temple it was family style, and you thought of yourselves as children, and I thought of myself as your mother in many ways, and there was a spiritual family dynamic.  We [...]

Take it easy early today and enjoy the lull because a storm is about to hit.  Choppy seas ahead!  Things loll along and then suddenly all heliotrope breaks loose! Hold your ground.  Keep your head.  Careful analysis that leads to action is good.  You will be tempted to react strongly if a mistake has [...]

Do Not Follow

Wheel Of Life

A message from Jetsunma:
To live in such sickness that you have hysterical love for one person

And having nothing but rage, judgment, and hatred for everyone else?

There is no love at all! Just sickness, narcissism, an unbalanced mind.

To rage at the success and happiness of others while cursing their name? This is not what the Buddha taught.

To taunt, harm and rant wishing for another’s downfall while salivating to pick up what shreds and crumbs that may be left?  This is demonic activity.  This will result in a lower rebirth.

To claim to have power, realization, virtue, intelligence, compassion while living a life that caused harm and no benefit? This is heinous, as Lord Buddha taught.

To have lived a life of violence, cruelty, dishonesty, lies, an ugly, tawdry life and then claim you are a high spiritual being is, if not so terribly tragic,  a dark and evil joke.

No one is laughing. We stand back and watch this monstrous activity as children, horrified and yet watching, unable to turn away from something so ugly.

To soil the Holy Dharma so thoroughly, to act as if there is no cause and result, to claim spiritual authority when one has lived a life without kindness or ethics is the result of having broken one’s Samaya uncountable times.

This is why the Buddha taught us to abandon Samaya breakers. And to embrace the pure BUDDHA, DHARMA and SANGHA with all our hearts and minds.

Abandon demons and their unholy darkness.  Do not follow  thieves and liars down to the lower realms.
