What We All WantAn excerpt from a teaching called How Buddhism Differs from Other Religions by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo When we study Buddhism, the first thing we come to understand is the equality of all that lives. This is a direct teaching from none other than Shakyamuni Buddha himself. He taught that all beings are essentially equal in their [...] Astrology FridayAn emotionally difficult situation must be faced early in the day. Something at home, or an upset person must be dealt with. Be kind and compassionate. Later, an almost magical influence is present and it seems your wishes are coming true. They are. You are inspired, and you combine action with love and creativity, and [...] Astrology ThursdayExcellent communication today! Diplomacy prevails, and relationships that had become strained are worked out! Honey drips from your tongue, and you instinctively know the right thing to say to ease any situation. Call everyone you ever had a falling out with, talk things over, and voila! your relationships have multiplied. Ask for what you want! [...] |
Most people LOVE with a “hook” at the end, better to love like the SUN, radiating in all directions. Why remain angry and disturbed? Watch a tree and it’s attendant breezes. And KNOW that YOU are LOVED! Why argue with the Moon? The moon only reflects it’s Master’s LIGHT. Better to gaze in peaceful contemplation! Why grasp at [...] A Relic from the First Ahkon Lhamo, housed at Kunzang Palyul Choling in Poolesville, MD From a Series of Tweets by @ahkonlhamo Don’t get misled! “Ah” is Sanskrit or Tibetan. It is not Japanese or Chinese. It is the seed vowel of our Primordial Wisdom Nature, the very ground of being. Buddha Primordial! It [...] from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo: If you see any animal dying, even a bug or worm, recite audibly *OM AMI DEWA HRI* then *OM MANI PEDME HUNG* to bless them, for a good rebirth. If you or someone you know suffers from mental confusion recite *OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI* to [...] One very important step on entering the path is to make aspirational prayers. It is the beginning of right focus and view. This habit is the very underpinning of one’s spiritual journey. Aspirational prayers are also a way to train the mind, based on altruism, to give birth to the great Bodhicitta in one’s mind. For [...] From a Series of Tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo: Good HOT afternoon, Twitterverse from Barnesville MD where I am better and the pack is well. I feel like my body is processing dark energy and I have been able to throw it off. The thing is to transform it to bliss, light; if one bounces it back [...] From a series of Tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo @ahkonlhamo When one assumes the role of teacher, Guru, sensei, whatever, one has an ethical responsibility to reveal qualifications and identity. When students follow a Guru there must be trust and respect. The teacher owes the disciple the respect of transparency and character, so the disciple can [...]
I LOVE the greeting on “AVATAR” which is “I SEE YOU”; said mindfully and deeply. Yes, saw it 5th time with Atira. Cry every time. “I SEE YOU”. How I wish we all could SEE like that. I want to move to Pandora and get an Avatar body. As on Pandora I wish the people [...] From a series of tweets by @ahkonlhamo Love. It is CRAZY! We won’t open up our hearts. Then when we do, we guard the feast jealously. We grieve when adversity appears. If we try to kill it, it is US that dies. We ARE love. Starving heart does foolish things- grows fangs, hardens, says, “AH! Screw you!” But [...] From a series of tweets from @ahkonlhamo I am hoping to teach on Sunday, if merit prevails. I am aware that we are growing, and that new students are coming. I would like to help them get a good foundation, and who doesn’t need more Bodhicitta training, Dzogchen View and Guru Yoga? We all do. Kyabje His [...] From a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo: I was given a book as a gift, looks interesting. It is by Diana Mukpo, widow of HE Trungpa Rinpoche. Called “Dragon Thunder: My Life with Chogyam Trungpa.” I have been curious about their relationship since Bill Cassidy trashed it so badly. Having experience with his vile gossip [...] |
