There is a lot of fluctuating energy today, so it’s a case of learning to balance rapid change. Don’t read too much into what is passing but give yourself enough time to pause. You have more energy to accomplish until the 18th of December as the waxing energy of the moon continues to grow. Do not alter, do not alter. Do not alter this mind of yours. Do not grasp, do not grasp. Do not grasp at this mind of yours. Alter and alter, and you will stir up the cloudy depths of the mind, and a mind that is altered obscures its own true nature.~Longchenpa
I load a box like this every single day. If you have a little, give what you can. If you have a lot, give more. Never forget compassion. There’s always something you can do to help.
Some people tell me they can’t do anything because they are poor. I pose the question, how did you get that way? I was born poor. I know hunger. As a baby I was hungry. Now I am not. Because I took care of everyone around me. And if I eat, the hunger goes away. But in a strange way. It doesn’t just drop away. It falters. Because the causes are not there for it. It’s not strong enough to change that. And I still feed others. Always. That is my dedication.
What is yours? True love? I laugh at that. What a ridiculous idea! People love yeah. But we make such romance about it. And we use it to shape ourselves. It is actually all just conceptualization.
I have several people I would like to send this to. But they would probably arrest me.
I love this world. Stay clean. Stay pure. And benefit beings!
With a longing to benefit beings who are sick and dying, Jetsunma created a song called “Prayer to Be Reborn in Dewachen.” This is a traditional prayer to Amitabha, the Buddha of Limitless Light, from the P’howa practice of the Longchen Nyigthig tradition. P’howa is the meditation practice for the time of death, and Amitabha is the deity to be visualized in that meditation. “Dewachen” refers to the state of consciousness in which one experiences a pure land and the opportunity to accomplish liberation.
Jetsunma said, “When I listened to this tune, I realized that it was like a mother singing her child to sleep, which really was my motivation when I sang that song. I know that everyone that I love, I will be parted from someday. Everyone that I meet will die some day. I wish there was some way that they could be guided through the bardo individually. And the best response that I know of is this prayer.”
Any being who listens to this prayer receives a blessing, whether Buddhist or non Buddhist, human or animal. It is especially soothing for those who are chronically or acutely ill, or who are on the precipice of dying. You can help beings by making this prayer heard by as many people and as many animals close to their death as possible. It is available here: Prayer to Be Reborn in Dewachen
Be mindful about what you say and how you say it today. An underlying unconscious intention can also impact communications. On the plus side you can harness your skills for investigation, detective work, and getting things done. The challenge will how you navigate getting pulled away to do other things. Self-expression flows today, and self-acceptance leads to a greater sense of your self-worth. As the mind relaxes, we start to experience faith in and commitment to a purpose beyond changing, grinding reality.~Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche
The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 10.05 pm and 8:38 am the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
There’s more prickly energy in the air as the Moon squares Mars and Neptune creating misunderstandings and misapprehensions. The nature of reality is not what it appears to be. However, Jupiter energy helps offset the deficit and invites you to be magnanimous and more accepting of others. There are learnings to be had in all circumstances. There’s no question dolphins are smarter than humans as they play more.~Albert Einstein
The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 4.48pm until 1:26am the next day. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
With the Moon conjunct Neptune today you are shown how you are connected to a greater interconnected web of phenomena. This includes feeling connected and tuned in to others. However, emotional boundaries are harder to maintain. Your thinking is sharper and you have penetrating insights. Be patient today in terms of any progress you make in your relationship goals. Things spring to being and again they cease. Happy the marvel of them and the peace.~The Buddha
The Moon moves into Aquarius and Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) goes retrograde. The focus is strongly on Uranian energy, dynamic unexpected change, and calls on the consolidation of the experiences made in the last month in personal and social life. Whatever is suddenly brought to our attention represents what we must reform to help us better integrate a past cycle left unresolved, before we can be free to forge ahead into the future. Uranus is retrograde until January 2022, which gives time to integrate whatever challenges arise. We have all kinds of styles perching, sitting on the razors edge and we have also developed the style of spiritual materialism, which is constantly trying to substitute one myth for another.~Chogyam Trungpa
It’s a day for getting things done and by enlarge keeping your own company. You have more self-discipline today and are happy to work alone. You have more insight into yourself and the motivations that drive you and others. There is a sense of gratefulness for receiving a financial lift. Generosity is a virtue for individuals, not Governments. When governments are generous it is with other people’s money, other people’s safety, other people’s future.~PD James
It’s both a challenging and uplifting day. One the one hand there is a natural harmony but you are also emotionally pulled in different directions. Someone or something presses your buttons. If you investigate the causes they lie beyond the immediate cause. The Moon moves into Sagittarius today bringing an adventurous, optimistic and exploratory energy to the next few days. If there were no freedom, beings could never disentangle themselves from the world.~The Buddha
Today the Moon is Void of Course from 12.30 pm EDT USA until 5.08 pm. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.
