A teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
Try to believe in the Love….that the Love that exists is
Absolute. It never varies, it is unchanging. You did nothing
to deserve it and you cannot destroy it. It is your belief in the
Love, your acceptance of it, this changes from moment to
moment, circumstance to circumstance, tossed about on the
waves of your emotions.
Let your heart fall deeper under the surface to where the
waves seem very far away. There you will find it, and me.
Make a samaya now to go deeper every day, to diligently
travel to that calm place where the sands do not shift at all.
You never asked for this! Only for what is temporary,
turbulent, based on a self that you have only imagined. Learn
to ask for what is true. That you will be answered is certain
because the answer is already accomplished.
Beneath the waves it is already there.
I am with you again, still, always.
I do love you.
Oh.
True, I did not ask for this teaching. Also true, I loved it as I love you!
I remeber this teaching. Hopefully will go deeper each day.The more one gives of oneself tho the Dharma, the easier this deepening can be.
I pray the student who inspired this profound teaching will be able to accomplish it in this lifetime, and that it benefits all students who ever suffer doubt and feel bereft.
May we all accomplish this teaching swiftly! Much love to the student for whom it was written.
So perfect a teaching..for today, and always. With gratitude to you, Jetsunma, and to the student for whom it was written.
I remember when I was very troubled at the temple one day in 1986, and out of compassion for me Alana handed this teaching to me, written by our sweet Lama, I still have it, and I thank her. Ani Cara
A teaching I never remember until I come across it again and then wonder how I ever forgot it. May we never forget the Love that is spoken herein and may we never forget those who have hopes of us. Love to the birthday girl of 1986. Thank you for sharing this teaching then and offering it always.
