A difficult moment has finally passed, and an important person steps forward with a solid recommendation or offer.  Accept it, it’s a winner.  This is an excellent day for medical procedures of every sort, as the physician is a magician.  An exciting person enters the scene providing exactly what the doctor ordered.  Fun!  Dress up, look good and don’t feel guilty for having a good time.  A long term proposition is in the works.  What you dream can come true. Taro Gold said, “As spring water rushes through open earth, so happiness flows through open lives.”  Stay open to what is around you.

Recognizing the Disease: Commentary on the Four Noble Truths by His Holiness Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok

The following is an excerpt from a public talk given by His Holiness Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok:

“Not recognizing what causes the disease” refers to those of us who are still wandering in the three realms of cyclic existence.  We are suffering in samsara, which is considered to be like the great welling up of spontaneous suffering that occurs because we simply don’t recognize our condition.  What we must do is recognize that as long as we stay in this state of lack of awareness, we will never be able to experience even a needle tip’s worth of happiness.  If you still wonder why it is that sentient beings are suffering, what is this condition that we call the suffering of the three realms of cyclic existence, just think about it.  Physical illness, incurable disease, mental suffering, mental illness, anxiety, inability to acquire the wealth and the objects of one’s desire, inability to become famous, or acquiring wealth and fame, and losing it, all of these different complica­tions and ins and outs of daily life situations are what we are referring to in terms of the suffering of cyclic existence. This is easy to understand if you just simply take a look at it.  This is called the suffering of suffering.

That which we think brings us happiness, that which we pursue with the hope to get happiness—fame, wealth, gain, possessions and so forth—are actually the causes of suffering, because if you are finally able to acquire what you are working so hard to acquire, once you have one thing, then you will want a second and a third and a fourth.  In other words, you can’t be satisfied by these material objects because they will only lead to more desire for yet more material objects.  Even if you are the ruler of an entire country, you will want to rule a second and a third country because it is the nature of desire that it simply cannot be satisfied.  This is why desire itself is a source of suffering, and with this kind of endless or unceasing desire for material gain, happiness can never be found.

We suffer then because we can’t obtain what we want in terms of material wealth and glory. And then if we do obtain it, we suffer fearing that we will lose it.  We actually have enemies that we are threatened by because we have these possessions.  So then we have to hire more people to protect our possessions and on and on and on like this.  One situation leads to a second situation which leads to more and more suffering. This is why I am saying that it is very unlikely that any true happiness can be derived from this suffering.  It would be better to be able to be satisfied by thinking. “As long as I have some delicious and satisfying food to eat, and comfortable and ample clothing, and a comfortable bed to sleep on at night, then it is not necessary to own all these other possessions because they will only be the causes for more suffering.  I can be satisfied by just simply having that which makes me comfortable so that I can survive.”

Especially when it comes time for our death, no one in this world can take any of their possessions with them at that time.  All of the things that we spend our short lifetime trying to accumulate and pursue, thinking that these things will bring us happiness, are totally useless when the time of our death arrives.  Not only that, none of our friends can come along.  We must go alone when we pass from this life. Even the greatest rulers and the most powerful people of this world are alone in the hour of their death.  Therefore it becomes more obvious that it is kind of futile to spend one’s time and one’s short lifetime pursuing the accumulation of material objects which bring suffering during one’s life and are useless at the time of death.

Astrology

Conversations are discouraging and short distance travel is difficult.  A mistake or misunderstanding is possible.  Try not to make any decisions today; you will see things differently tomorrow.  An emotional flare-up is possible.  Listen carefully to the mature voice in any conversation.  An experienced person, someone who has been through this before, gives excellent counsel.  Listen and base your actions on this advice. The best progress is being made by medical personnel, artists and visionaries.  A new invention is in the works, and new medical discoveries will revolutionize health care.  Good food and good friends are here.  A Japanese proverb says “When someone’s character is not clear to you, look at that person’s friends.”

An emotional appeal is disregarded early in the day but take heart, your request will be granted in time.   Something pulls you into matters related to home, family and or the past, rendering you unavailable to conduct business as usual.  It’s best to pull inward, handle your issues and then move out when you have the fortitude to deal with mundane things.  A back and forth agenda is what works.  Do your best to stay in your intellect and you’ll be fine: friends are loving and food is excellent.  A spirit of emotional generosity is all pervasive.  Taro Gold said, “All phenomena, even the most solid rock, are transient.”  What upsets you today will be gone soon.

The Causes of This Present State

BULLY,SCHOOLYARD BULLY,BULLIES

There are some cause and effect relationships that we become acquainted with.  Especially if, as I’m sure all of you are, you are engaged in watchfulness in your life. And really wanting to progress spiritually in some way, your capacity for learning is that much greater. We may learn that if we’re really kind and loving to others, we get better result. We may learn that if we’re generous, people are generous to us. We may learn that if we’re really hateful and arrogant, we never really get anything good out of that. We may learn some lessons like that. And if that’s the case, those are all precious and valuable lessons to learn.

However, there are lots of things that we don’t learn. The reason why is that, for one thing, we really don’t fully understand how it is that we came into this life under the conditions that we have. We don’t understand how it was that we were born to the families that we were born to, or how it was that we arrived in the condition that we arrived in. How it is that we arrived at our genetic structure? How it is that we arrived with certain mental, physical and emotional propensities? Certain habitual tendencies? Why is it that they have arisen so strongly within us? And it seems as though other people, even in the same family, do not have the same habitual tendencies. We don’t have a full and complete understanding. And the reason why is because we cannot really understand the conditions that have occurred previous to this lifetime. We don’t have an understanding of that. We cannot actually view the cause and effect relationships that brought us to this present state.

Another thing is that we don’t often understand the outcome of causes that we ourselves have begun during the course of this lifetime. For instance, we may be able to see very simple kinds of cause and effect realities. Like if you walk up and punch somebody in the nose who’s approximately the same size as you, there’s a real good chance he or she is going to punch back. And you might learn some cause and effect reality by trying that. But, on the other hand, you might not learn that if you sit there and instead of punching the person who is not your favorite person, you sit there and think hateful thoughts, thoughts of wishing to do harm, thoughts of condemnation and judgment. You may think that having those thoughts, just because you haven’t said them, just because you haven’t acted on them, just because you haven’t punched, is somehow ok. That having those thoughts is secret, that no one knows about them. And that it’s really all right to think like that because you won’t see it play itself out. And even if it does play itself out during the course of that lifetime, perhaps the person that you have these thoughts toward is at some time in the future, maybe even just a couple of weeks from that time, strongly hateful toward you. You may not understand the connection. You may not see what has happened. Certainly you will not see if that cause and effect relationship ripens in some future life because you won’t remember that you just got what you deserved. You won’t remember that you had the same thoughts about that person.

Family and emotional matters are extremely satisfying today.  Men and women are in sync, kids are adorable and everyone is cheerful.  Conversation is exhilarating and everyone is smarter than usual.  There’s a tendency to drive too fast, so keep your eyes on the road. Groups and friends are fun but it’s best to have separate checks for all outings.  This will diffuse any question about who owes what.  Watch for a special sign involving light, water or snow.  You’ll understand it when you see it.  Siddhartha said, “There isn’t enough darkness in the world to snuff out the light of one little candle.”

An early misunderstanding is cleared up amusingly and people laugh at what has happened. A road or path that has been blocked is made passable again.  Communication is successful in every area except finances.  If you negotiate a deal be sure you settle on a price in advance. Make no assumptions about money.  Friendship is powerful today so definitely plan a get together with those you love.  Parties, meetings and groups are forming that are wonderful.  If you are part of a group, be sure to notice how good the others are to you and express your appreciation.  If a misunderstanding occurs apologize and move on.  Benjamin Franklin said, “Never ruin an apology with an excuse.”  Good advice.

This is a great day to go for a drive or short trip.  Talk, news and communication is highlighted.  Learn something, go sightseeing!  A surprise visit brings happiness.  Friends and groups are coming together in an exciting way.  Work goes well today, and a new fact is uncovered that explains a mystery.  If something has been lost or if a pervasive sense of worry or sadness bedevils you, all will be explained in four days.  Avoid the tendency to push into an area that obstructs you, it’ll just get more frustrating.  The rule for today is, “if it’s easy, do it.  If it’s hard, postpone it!”  This is trickier than it sounds. Jose Ortega y Gasset said, “Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are.”

A wonderful friend or group makes an appearance that brightens your day.  You love everybody!  This is a great day to see friends and socialize.  Form new groups!  Everyone wants to join.  New technology appears that changes everything.  Space travel captures the public imagination; keep your eyes on the sky!  Many demands pull you in diverse directions and the danger of the day is indecision, uncertainty about what to do next.  Make a list and follow it, prioritizing carefully. You will find that you must be sympathetic to someone, spend money, save money, accommodate your partner, make decisions, invent something and be respectful of those in power.  If your head is whirling with activity, join the club! Mackiguchi said, “Live lightly on the Earth.”  Good advice for today.

Tranquillity!  Today is your day.  A peaceful Ferdinand the bull-type energy is pervasive, where lounging around and taking it easy is de rigeur.  Everyone wants to stop and smell the roses.  This is a good day for financial transactions and artistic matters.  A relaxed attitude makes everything easier to handle. Speak to higher-ups.  Ask for a promotion or raise if it’s warranted.  Artistic and imaginative projects go well.  Jonathan Swift said, “Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.”  A partnership matter continues to push you and matters of estate and debt are significant.  Don’t forget the lord of karma is travelling through the sign of secrets.  Every secret will come out, so watch yourself!  ( If you don’t want your mother to know about it, don’t do it!)
