Happy to have made here, even at the very last minute. & all I thought I wanted was to sit under the Bodhi tree while contemplating endlessly on Life, which I do when left to my own devices.
I came in my least prepared & least presentable self, & my bag that day felt extra-heavy, but it was all perfect, considering I was letting go what no longer serves me, & what isn’t even mine, to begin with.
Which leads me to re-realizing that to be at that point of No-Self, I need to deeply know more Who I Am & What I Do, & only then I can honor Oneness with everything & everyone.
& I learned more astoundingly about humility.
That I don’t have to try any harder to emulate my dad (d. 2008) & all these powerful older men I’ve respected as per their humility & Compassion — I’m my own version. & I will keep my simplicity, but I will keep standing up for myself & what intrinsic good that I staunchly believe in. Like that nothing & no one can defile any more my ideals — my spiritual inclinations included.
& that when I express kindness & generosity, it’s not just to earn merits or achieve Supreme Enlightenment, but because I truly want to. & that makes me happy.
But time to keep working out my Karmic Resolution with more Joy & Gratitude. & Patience. LOTS MORE OF IT.
& I’m grateful for my healing Tools. I now believe I had to acquire them first to endure continuing my spiritual path, as it . But relatively it’s so much easier now.
& I’m so honored & humbled to receive kindness in turn. To everyone so loving & generous towards me especially lately, I wish you all the very best back. That it may all return to you a thousandfold every day.
& I’m remembering my affinity & Devotion to the goddess Tara, as a commitment to helping female -bodied & -presenting women, especially MYSELF, to attain liberation from Pain & Suffering, by owning more Who We Are: as women. As goddesses here on Earth. That we have every right to take up Space & thrive.
& happy to get so many steps in since last midnight! Haha. I do miss walking, but it’s more fun (& Safe!) when done with others.
”Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet,” indeed, as Thich Nhat Hanh did say, even if I’d feel like my heart would burst at any minute & I was being set on fire, LOL.
What a most meaningful Moon in Aquarius day to night (transiting my 1H), with Pluto stationing direct in Capricorn. Definitely a huge day for Change, especially while working on Releasing myself to the Nth Degreee from outworn ”traditions, Family cycles, or ancestral trauma," ugh, as per my solar 4H as an 8H Libra Sun.
Happy birthday all over again to me. 😅🎂☠️🤷🏻♀️🧿👸🏻
Hello everyone!
We invite you to join us on Chenrezig Sadhana and oral transmission by Lama Damdul on October 13, 2024 (Sunday) at 5:00 p.m.
Chenrezig is known by different names across cultures: in Sanskrit, he is Avalokitesvara, "the Lord who looks down with compassion."
In Chinese Buddhism, he is Guanyin (Guan Yin), the beloved Goddess of Mercy. In Japanese Buddhism, he is known as Kannon, a figure of boundless compassion. Despite the variations, Chenrezig remains the universal symbol of compassion, guiding practitioners to alleviate the suffering of all beings.
In Tibetan Buddhism, oral transmission, known as "lung", is a key ritual for passing on sacred teachings and practices. It involves a lama or teacher reciting texts or scriptures, often from memory, to a disciple or group of students. The ritual is considered essential because the sound of the words, rather than mere reading, carries the blessing of the lineage. Through this, the students are granted permission to study, reflect on, and practice the teachings.
