Eternal Fountain of Blessings

by

The following is an excerpt from a teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo called “Take Control of Your Life”

We have an amazing thing here.  We have an opportunity to participate in something that you don’t have almost anywhere else—I don’t know of anywhere else—and that’s the 24-hour a day prayer vigil.  I don’t know of another place, and there may be one, but I don’t know of another place where prayer for sentient beings goes on 24hours a day.  This place is like a giant merit machine.  To participate in that and the satisfaction of knowing that you have participated somehow in alleviating the suffering of the world is a thing that we should contemplate with joy.  And we’re beginning to win over other people.  Apparently, there are some non-Buddhist preachers locally that want to know how we did it.  How did we motivate our people to practice 24-hour a day prayer for all beings?

Well, we taught what the Buddha taught: that all beings are equal in their nature, that they are all suffering horribly, that they all wish to be happy, that enlightenment is the [end] to suffering, and here is the method.  So we have the means by which to understand how to change the worldnot only how to change our personal world, but the world at large. Can you imagine if we had even a dozen major cities around the world with this same effort?

Can you imagine?  Stupas and 24-hour a day prayer.  This is my dream, my hope.  That the field of joyful practice, virtuous activity and enlightenment will swallow up the world and bring us all blissful contentment. That’s what I want to do.  I want to make stupas everywhere.  I want to make prayer vigils everywhere.  I know you want to help.  I know you want to join me.  It’s the only game in town.  There’s nothing else that you can do that will bring so much joy.  Nothing you can eat, drink, have, do, that will bring you that much happiness.

Here’s where we start, right here, to change our lives into vehicles that bring happiness to other beings, to practice every day to attain a virtuous peaceful calm mind and to offer that as food and drink to those who are so locked in their own phenomena and confusion that they don’t know that they are.  To offer our practice as an eternal fountain of benefit, as eternal as this world anyway, for all the beings of this earth and for all the three thousand myriads of universes, because we should be impartial like the sun.  We should pray for all beings equally.

Astrology June 17, 2014

6/17/2014 Tuesday

An important conversation or message is satisfying and resolves a problem. The goddess of love and the king of generosity are working together, so make a gift of love today. Decide who or what matters most to you and put your money where your mouth is. Anonymous said “I loved her so much it took all my strength to keep from telling her.” Don’t be like that! As the day progresses, artistic pursuits and creative activities are favored, along with medical treatments. Water is your friend today: drink it, swim in it, think about it! Everybody’s talking to everybody, and everybody’s on the road re-doing what they did before- returning things they bought that didn’t fit, etc. The past is important, you’re working on things from the past. If something or someone leaves the environment don’t be sad: this needed to happen.

The daily astrology post affects everyone. Because individual charts vary, the circumstances outlined in the post will affect people differently. Some will feel this energy in the personal arena, some in finances, some with family or children, some in work, and so forth. There are many departments of life. Look to see where the dynamic affects you!

Astrology for June 16, 2014

6/16/2014 Monday

A sudden inspiration or message galvanizes people into action. This is a two-way winner and leads down a path you want to take. A door opens and closes today. It’s important to act quickly and then stop as soon as things turn difficult: make no attempt to keep going once the energy passes. If you’re pushing, you’re losing. Shopping and financial matters don’t go particularly well today, so skip these things if you can. A debt may come due, and you must pay. Happiness comes from home, loved ones, food, emotional generosity and conversations with friends. W. H. Auden said “In those whom I like, I can find no common
denominator; in those whom I love I can: they all make me laugh.” Don’t forget that you’re continuing to fix things from the past.

The Sutra of the Heart of Transcendent Knowledge

by

The following is dedicated to the wonderful neighbor, an angel, who brought our Brenna back home to us:

Thus have I heard. Once the Blessed One was dwelling in Rajagria at Vulture Peak Mountain, together with a great gathering of the sangha of monks and a great gathering of the sangha of bodhisattvas. At that time, the Blessed One entered the samadhi that expresses the dharma called “profound illumination,” and at the same time noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva mahasattva, while practicing the profound prajnaparamita, saw in this way: he saw the five skandhas to be empty of nature.

Then, through the power of the Buddha, venerable Shariputra said to noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva mahasattva, “How should a son or daughter of noble family train, who wishes to practice the profound prajnaparamita?”

Addressed in this way, noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva mahasattva, said to venerable Shariputra, “O Shariputra, a son or daughter of noble family who wishes to practice the profound prajnaparamita should see in this way: seeing the five skandhas to be empty of nature. Form is emptiness; emptiness also is form. Emptiness is no other than form; form is no other than emptiness. In the same way, feeling, perception, formation, and consciousness are emptiness. Thus, Shariputra, all dharmas are emptiness.

“There are no characteristics. There is no birth and no cessation. There is no impurity and no purity. There is no decrease and no increase. Therefore, Shariputra, in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no formation, no consciousness; no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no appearance, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no dharmas; no eye dhatu up to no mind dhatu; no dhatu of dharmas, no mind consciousness dhatu; no ignorance, no end of ignorance up to no old age and death, no end of old age and death; no suffering, no origin of suffering, no cessation of suffering, no path, no wisdom, no attainment, and no non-attainment. Therefore, Shariputra, since the bodhisattvas have no attainment, they abide by means of prajnaparamita.

“Since there is no obscuration of mind, there is no fear. They transcend falsity and attain complete nirvana. All the buddhas of the three times, by means of prajnaparamita, fully awaken to unsurpassable, true, complete enlightenment. Therefore, the great mantra of prajnaparamita, the mantra of great insight, the unsurpassed mantra, the unequaled mantra, the mantra that calms all suffering should be known as truth, since there is no deception. The prajnaparmita mantra is said in this way:

TADYATA    OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA

Thus, Shariputra, the bodhisattva mahasattva should train in the profound prajnaparamita.”

Then the Blessed One arose from that samadhi and praised noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva mahasattva, saying, “Good, good. O son of notble family; thus it is, O son of noble family; thus it is. One should practice the profound prajnaparamita just as you have taught and all the tathagatas will rejoice.”

When the Blessed One had said this, venerable Shariputra and noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva mahasattva, that whole assembly and the world with its gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas rejoiced and praised the words of the Blessed One.
