What is Dewachen?

Buddha Amitaba - Dewachen

From The Spiritual Path:  A Compilation of Teachings by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

When you pray to be reborn in Dewachen, what do you really mean? In the ultimate view, Dewachen is the celestial mandala of the Lord Amitabha. Lord Amitabha is a Dharmakaya Buddha. Thus Dewachen is Dharmakaya awareness or the Dharmakaya view—the pure, uncontrived, primordial-wisdom view, free of all conceptualization. To be reborn in Dewachen really means to experience the natural Dharmakaya state—the state that has no limitation. Dharmakaya has no consideration of self and other, no separation between form and formless. To awaken in that state is not to become a transformed or translucent ego. Please understand that if you want to become a better person, you want, somehow, to become transformed. You want to be a Buddha. Then people will say, “Look, there’s a Buddha!” Can you see the difference between that attitude and the experience of pure nature, suchness, free of all idea of ego?

Do you still practice with an idea about what you will be? That very you consists of and maintains incorrect view. When you pray to be reborn in Dewachen—make no mistake about it—you are praying for the death of your ego. Eternal life implies the belief in self-nature as an eternal reality. Someone who believes in eternal life, consciously or unconsciously, is on a path without the understanding that if ego did survive forever, it would only insure the continuation of suffering. Such a path is not workable. If your secret prayer is somehow to become a transformed ego, if you are using Dharma words to disguise your wish to remain intact as a self, then you are asking to continue on the wheel of cyclic death and rebirth, the wheel of suffering, the wheel of samsara.

Men or people in positions of authority wake up thinking or talking this morning, and their ideas are good ones.  A workable plan can be formulated early in the day.  Later an emotionally stressful argument or disagreement can occur where both sides won’t budge.  One side is fearful and the other side is sure they are right.  The RIGHT person can gain cooperation by acknowledging the other person’s fears, which are based on reality. Be careful about dismissing the concerns of others, they represent deeply held convictions and must be addressed step by step.  Patience is crucial today, along with a respectful attitude toward others.  Luckily, you still feel blissfully happy.

Powerhouse emotions are running the show today.  You can make money out of a dream or creation, or give money to someone who will use it to found a dynasty.  Joyous happiness is part of the picture.  Your emotions are favorably combined with imagination and….. suddenly the game changes and you relax.  A transition has occurred and men step back and allow their women or children to take first place. Today something is ending and you only realize this after it has happened.  The temptation to overeat is high.  A visit to the doctor could be both productive and surprisingly fun.  Who knew?

You are feeling incredibly sensitive, happy and romantic. You could declare your love to someone or write beautiful words or poetry.  Music and art are dramatically highlighted today and exceptionally appealing creations are possible.  You feel like throwing yourself away for love, giving everything up and running off. Bliss!  Also a new sense of power and energy is present and you are ready to pursue your objective.  You are a combination of blissful love and racehorse speed.  Choose your target and charge.  You could meet objections, obstacles, or worse, those who make fun of your zeal. Be philosophical about those who giggle.  Go for it!

This is an extraordinary day, full of subtle opportunities if you pay attention and are aware of them.  A powerfully creative force is available, and you must tune in to your intuition to access it.  Use everything you know and have learned, and also listen listen listen!  Think of John Keats’s words, “Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on.”  A sort of music is playing in your head, telling you what to do, both now and in the future.  Do not tune it out; act on it.  At the same time don’t become so spaced out that you forget things, appointments or people.

A burst of energy and strength powers you through a mess, and you are successful!  You have the confidence and the energy to make something work.  Excellent.  At the same time you are loving and compassionate toward those in need.  You are expansive and optimistic in helping others solve their problems while incidentally solving yours at the same time.  Perhaps you have noticed the change you have undergone in the past several days or weeks.  You are more perceptive.  Act on your perceptions and watch things change.

Romance day!  Spend private time with your nearest and dearest ones.  This is an especially loving time for you.  You could write something that can be sold or used to sell something.   Advertising?  Selling something on e-bay?  Words are profitable today.  Your group inspires you, and men are feeling romantic.  Escapism and fantasy are a major theme for the day.   Go to the movies, spend time near water, and try not to overindulge in anything that will bring you regret tomorrow.  Someone could look better to you if you’re wearing “ beer goggles.”  Have fun but be careful.

Watch your mouth today!  The temptation to “set someone straight” is nearly overwhelming.  Ben Franklin’s mentor changed his life with the following words: “Ben, you are impossible.  Your opinions have a slap in them for everyone who differs from you!”  Don’t be Ben today.  Try to find the common ground you have with others.  Later in the day you calm down and can make an excellent business connection with someone who likes your ideas.  Today you change from argumentative to agreeable. Go back and apologize if you were rude.

You are emotionally sensitive today.  Be aware of your intuition and the hunches you receive during the course of the day.  They are right on.  Be alert to the possibility of being conned or scammed by a sob story. You are emotionally vulnerable and extremely generous today, but fortunately  your mind is still able to think rationally.  Use two systems to evaluate any proposal today.  First, run it through your emotions.  Does it feel right? Second, run it through your mind.  Does it make sense?  If both systems are a go, GO! If not, wait.

A woman or child could give you an idea this morning, a way to solve a problem you have been working on, or you could get an idea from a TV show or movie.  Inspiration comes from surprising sources today.  A friend or group makes a last gasp attempt to create something, which then transforms into something else!  This is a day of change.  You feel compassionate and generous toward those in need.  Filmmakers, advertisers, artists and those who deal in illusion or fantasy receive a new impetus today.  Sick people are healed in an unusual way.
