Do that last minute bit of shopping as soon as you can.  Arrange things, and prepare for a party or a bit of decorating.  Have a great meal, and contact those you love and tell them how much they mean to you.  It’s important to say what you specifically like about others today, since words provide enormous, tangible inspiration.  “You’re smart” or “you have a great smile” can warm someone’s heart and point out a future for that person.  Samuel Johnson said, “Praise, like gold and diamonds, owes its value only to its scarcity.”

Congratulations, your emotions are stable and you are able to wait out a slow-moving situation.  This is a great time to engage in renovation and beautification projects.  Spiff things up!  Material objects are excellent, and encouragement comes from things you can see and touch.  Good shopping! Medical issues are well resolved, and work is motoring along nicely.  Pretty much the only way to get in trouble today is to demand your own way from a powerful person.  You want to, but be humble and spare yourself some trouble.  Jan McKeithen said, “Whether on the road or in an argument, when you see red it’s time to stop.”

The First Object of Refuge

by

The following is an excerpt from a teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo called “Essence of Devotion”

Although the Buddha that we remember as Siddhartha, Gautama Buddha, Shakyamuni is not present in his physical body as we understand it right now, we look at the Lama as the embodiment of the qualities, intentions, compassion and activity of the Buddha in the world.  Our Lamas, those reincarnate Lamas who are recognized as reincarnate Lamas, are considered to be the Nirmanakaya form of the Buddha.  They are the Buddha in the world. So we look at the Lama as being the embodiment of the Buddha.  We look at the Lama as being the embodiment of the Dharma because, if we were to try to study Dharma on our own, even though all the books in our bookstore are written with the commentary of a qualified Lama, when you read those books you must also have first of all the teachings from the guru that deepen and ripen the mind ..Empowerment, lung, commentary teaching, the taking of vows, those teachings that deepen and ripen the mind, can only be given by the Lama, only be given by the Lama, and you must have them.  You must have your mind ripened.  A mind that is not ripe may delude itself into feeling spiritual and may even be able to speak spiritually.  However, if it is not ripe, it cannot fulfill itself.  So we should consider like that.

The Lama is considered to be the path.  The Dharma is given to us by the Lama.  The Lama connects us with the Dharma.  The Lama ripens us in the Dharma.  The Lama is the Dharma in that sense.  The Lama is also the Sangha because without the Lama there would be no Sangha.  It is the Lama’s qualities and compassionate activities that sound the note that eventually calls the Sangha.  When one of the Sangha has come to practice in some way, there is a personal and private circumstance that has called them, has pulled them in some secret inner way, particular and unique only to them, and their response is like a bell tolling somewhere deep in their minds—very unique, very individual, very present.  That is the gathering of the Sangha and it is done through the influence and compassionate activity of the Lama.  So the Lama is the first object of refuge, and the supreme object of refuge on the Vajrayana path.  That is our view.

An important message, letter or communication happens today.  It’s most crucial to speak in a kind, diplomatic manner.  Angry or demanding speech harms your cause and you will be ignored, or worse.  The urge to “tell people off” is strong today, as is the wish to push others who aren’t responding the way you would like.  Elsewhere, work is going well, happiness is in the picture and financial matters are improving.  Love is in the air, if you take time to notice.  Dell said, “The real secret of patience is to find something else to do in the meantime.”  Get busy!

Avoid putting yourself into a situation that is dark or feels ominous to you.  Trust your intuition, and don’t be afraid to back away if you sense danger!  An exuberant sense of confidence can send you running straight into trouble!  Speed is not your friend.  Slow down, and you’ll understand what you’re up against.  Zip ahead and you’ll learn too late.  Allen Claxton said, “The treacherous, unexplored areas of the world are not in continents or the seas; they are in the minds and hearts of men.”  Once this passes, it’s back to happy land for you.  Confidence is your friend, time is on your side and your work is progressing well.  Oh, you’re also having fun verbally with people, laughing and telling jokes.

A project is lining up nicely, and a labor of love is stable.  Diplomacy sets the stage for future success, so use all your powers of persuasion with those who matter.  Something put in motion now bears fruit in the future.  Of course, you want it NOW.  Wait it out, keep plugging away, and your goal will be achieved.  Old loves come back, and you could find yourself in a reverie about the past.  Harmony is present between men and women, and all artistic, medical and intuitive endeavors are favored.  Do your work but do not lead with ego.  William Penn said, “There is a troublesome humour some men have, that if they may not lead, they will not follow, but had rather a thing were never done, than not done their own way.”  Respect other’s leadership.

Happiness is in the air!  Breathe it in and breathe it out.  You have the ability to approach every situation with confidence and optimism, if you so choose.  George Washington said, “Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a person’s own mind than on the externals in the world.”  Men are kind and generous and those in a position of power are benevolent and well intentioned.  Work hard and view others in the most charitable light. Love is grand. How to mess things up?  Assertively, demandingly and suddenly confront a powerful person and watch yourself go down in flames!

Dreamland, you’re in it!  Float around this morning and avoid anything that forces you to move fast.  You may hear about someone who is confused or sick, in which case you’ll need to intervene – it’s serious.  At the same time, emotional generosity is the keyword today.  Good fortune comes through generous activity, so get out there and be generous in every way you can think of. Bern Williams said, “Praise can give criticism a lead around the first turn and still win the race.” Sincere praise is another form of generosity, use it. As the day progresses, you feel a tug of war between the desire to relax and the desire to finish a project.  Divvy things up so you work, relax, work, relax.  If you spend time doing either for too long, you’ll feel something was left out. All in all it’s a nice day.

The only way to avoid being happy today is to stay in bed with the covers pulled over your head!  Use the good energy to have fun, to make others feel happy and to expand your projects.  The planet of success through expansion is travelling with the sun, so get out there and do something!  A down-to-earth, grounded energy provides the muscle to accomplish things.  Paint a fence, build something. Spend time with things you can touch, pick up and carry around…material objects.  Avoid abstract or eccentric things.  Don’t be yelling about space invaders as others are busy digging a well.  Be down to earth today, you won’t regret it. Henry Thoreau said, “It is not enough to be busy…The question is: what are we busy about?”

A friend appears who inspires you with a new approach or way of looking at things.  Men are generous and good natured, and things happen that seem like wild, out-of-the-blue good luck.   They’re good, but they are the culmination of events you put into play long ago.  If you’ve been diligent you will be rewarded today; if not, join the applause as someone else receives the reward.  A benevolent force hovers in the environment helping with every project.  Buy and sell, hold fund raisers and do good deeds.  Epictetus said, “If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you, you should say, ‘He obviously does not know me very well, since there are so many other faults he could have mentioned.'”  A smile and a happy heart take you everywhere today.
