A Tibetan Buddhist Way to Handle Terrorism & Disasters

"One brick won't build a house. But brick by brick, a house will get built. So, one prayer, or the prayers of one person will not change the whole world. But if we meditate or say prayers, we will be able to contribute in healing and rebuilding lives. So we must get involved in contributing little by little by doing meditations and prayers. That is what we can and must do."

"Think about those terrible images, painful feelings and frightening stories of the morning of September 11th. Let them shake our bodies up and wake up our minds with a powerful feeling of sadness and pain.
Then let the power of sadness turn into strong thoughts and feelings of love and compassion, into a wish of wanting to save all from their sufferings from the bottom of your heart (without letting yourself feel hatred or anger towards the perpetrators).
Then let the power of that love emanate a strong energy of devotion, devotion to the Blessed One(s), -- the body of wisdom, love and power -- who is/are the embodiment of all the enlightened ones and the true nature and pure quality of the universe as it is.

Then turn the power of your devotion into the energy of prayers, the all-prevailing sound of calling for healing blessings, from the bottom of your heart.
Then think that the blessings of the Blessed One, love and peace are emanating from the Blessed One in the form of beams of rainbow light, light of peace and joy.
Then the blessing lights touch the bodies of all -- those who have died, those who are suffering and the whole universe.

By the mere touch of the blessing light, think and feel that all fear, confusion and suffering are pacified, like darkness by sunlight. All are transformed into bodies of blessing light. All are filled with the feelings of peace, joy and strength.
Finally, feel the all-pervading peace and let our mind and the minds of all (especially those who are suffering) melt as one. Rest in that feeling -- the awareness of oneness in peace -- over and over again. The nature of all is one, the awareness of the eternal peace."

STOP KILLING ANIMALS & THE PEOPLE WHO SAVE THEM!

This is a MUST SEE. Although it may haunt you, it did me, although it may disturb you, it did me, you still must expose yourself to this so that you may include all these horrors both the earth and her innocent animals endure in your TONGLEN practice. If you don't know what TONGLEN practice is, read this link:
http://www.khandro.net/practice_send_receive.htm

The earth needs us to do this for her, it is the only thing we CAN do. We will be killed like other saviors of the earth are killed if we take the role of activist - they silence those that do in equally horrible ways as they kill innocent animals for money, out of greed. We cannot help the earth if we are dead. We must all take a stand, and it must be done safely and effectively - we cannot help if they kill us as they have killed our brothers and sisters who have shown the courage to step up and take ACTION.

To those that are frustrated and ask, "WHAT CAN I DO?????" We can practice tonglen. After viewing this video, all I could do was feel frustrated that if I took a stand, I too would be killed. TONGLEN practice is something we can all start to do. But do it gently, as if you are as sensitive a being as I am, you may feel energetically "off" if you do the practice for too long. It IS intense, but so is what you will be doing, but it won't KILL you, and you can energetically ease some of the suffering. Please join me in doing TONGLEN practice each and every day, even if only for five or ten minutes. You WILL be making a difference.

NAMASTE~

SEISMIC HEADACHES

THEY ARE REAL. I have gotten seismic headaches before a major earthquake for years now. As I write this, I have one. The symptom is, it wakes me up before dawn and is raging, or builds to raging over two to three days. The longer the headache, the worse the devastation from the quake. Before the Japanese quake, I had a killer one for three days, and they don't respond to any form of medication for relief, and only subside when the quake occurs.

I am quite nervous because yesterday I woke up with one, and although it wasn't a raging, killer headache, it has become one today, waking me at 2 a.m. Unfortunately, they are never wrong. I haven't had them over this past week during all the quaking going on, because there was no human devastation, but this one is nerve wracking, because somewhere, soon, it's going to hit. This is DAY 2, I've medicated twice and it's done nothing but getting worse.

All my friends in quake prone areas, put together your survival kits and have a plan. I've never made it this public before, but the reliability of these headaches has been 100%....the outcome of my headache going away only comes when there is a tragic outcome for many.
