A sacred space for everyone

Why is so much change required on the Dharma path? It’s because the result is so extraordinary.

I sincerely pray for those with bitterness and hate and very little hope.
OM AH HUNG VAJRA GURU PEMA NORBU SIDDHI HUNG
For you who have lost your way in the sublime Ati Yoga and abandon Guru Yoga, I dedicate all merit in the three times. OM VAJRASATVA HUNG I pray for you.
For all who have failed to contemplate the suffering of Samsara, you have abandoned the true reason for the path. Develop Bodhicitta. OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA!
I pray for those who are incapable of developing a good heart. OM MANI PEDME HUNG. Try, for the sake of sentient beings.
One doesn’t have to be a Buddhist to have my respect or be my friend. It takes ethics, character, kindness, honesty.
When you consistently harass or malign someone they have won – whatever battle you think you have is over. Your hate has defined you.
One can define a “Master” by their complete inability to hate and abuse others. The hate only defines the hater.
To the victim of such abuse, remember: the ignorant and blind will follow their kind. They cannot distinguish a fake from a diamond. What you see is a broken mind needing to hurt you for reasons you may never know. But they have only defined their lives around you. You win.
In brief? Study and practice the path of Dharma. Sweep, sweep, pay the dirt no mind. Be happy.
OM MANI PEDME HUNG

The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
I needed a day off twitter today, please forgive me. My friend’s dog is dying and she cannot accept. One of my monks needs attention, always.
I walked two days in a row while healing, so it was a pain killer and flat out day. I had nothing left. Meanwhile the utterly cruel “people” that hate and beat me up every day have taken this time to show what high-minded people they are. Wow. Some days it makes no sense to try.
I won’t be stopped. If I can benefit sentient beings I will have to be satisfied. People can be so selfish and cruel. They need help. I wish there was magic. But there is only miracle (earned through merit) merit itself, (like gold to trade) and Mentor (guide: Buddha, Lama et al.)
So I rest today, but it is painful to see what we have come to. All you workers of the way, the light, I salute and love you. Wrap you in my arms. Occupy Prayer, Peace and Occupation I adore you for your strength and gift. May I take the pain for you. You are the crown of creation, lovers and peacemakers, shelters from the storm. The gold of humanity. You who love – I love you as my children. Blessed are those with heart! May there be kindness and goodness for you. OM TARE TUTARE TURE PUNYE PUSHTIM AH YOU PUSHTIM KURU YE SOHA! Long life and peace to you!

Jetsunma describes how to use the natural love and responsibility we feel towards those we love as a window to recognizing the suffering of all beings, and taking responsibility for relieving the suffering of all beings without partiality.

I would rather have infrastructure here repaired and built than war overseas.
I would rather have human services than war.
I would much rather have an excellent school system than another war.
I would rather better health care and hospitals than a war.
I would rather we respect our indigenous natives than have another stupid war.
I would rather protect our treasured and needed wild forests than have yet another war.
I would rather rid ourselves of all nuclear power rather than have another phony “weapons of mass destruction” war.
I would rather give women total control of their own wombs, spend money on prevention-planning than another killing war.
I would rather be pro-life by stopping all killing, including execution, and killing war. These are actually the living.
I would rather see our governments stop lying to us about nuclear poisoning than distract us with another useless war.
