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.

In a Nutshell
From a series of tweets from @ahkonlhamo
If one cannot practice even ordinary human kindness, how can one EVER hope to give rise to Bodhicitta?
If one has no strength to keep even one moral precept, how will that one EVER awaken to Buddhahood?
If one cares not one bit for the welfare of sentient beings, how will that one EVER attain Buddhahood?
If one knows no discrimination, knows not what to accept and what to reject, that being will revolve in cyclic existence endlessly.
Whoever seduces someone away from their sacred vows, that one is reborn in Vajra Hell, as well as the vow breaker.
If one does not offer food to the hungry, that one will be endlessly hungry. Their food will do no good. Or cause homelessness, no shelter
These are quotes from me, Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, based on years of study, practice, and inborn wisdom. My life bears witness, and I offer this to you.
