Plagued by Problems or Blessed by Buddha??

Wow! What a turbulent 2 weeks this has been!!! Bombings, Forest Fires, Hurricanes with some VERY TIRED names, Earthquakes, Illnesses and so so much personal problems too! On a macro level natural disasters and on a micro level much obstacles!I now begin to see the inner subtle levels of WHY in Nepal, through the Oracle, our Protector had guided us to quickly recite so many Migtsemas... Firstly of course is to extend the life of our Guru ( or Gurus ) by accumulation of merits, since the Guru is Buddha, and Buddhas are Karma-less, the required energy source for a Guru to stay on earth is Merit. Secondly, Most of us are not able to do long retreats, hold pure vows or even meditate with focus... therefore the Protector has given us an alternative way to step by step prepare us for the teachings of Tantra by helping us all to accomplish some of the preliminary practices that are required for the higher teachings. Thirdly, for the Harmony and Success of our Kechara network.As time goes on, more and more layers of the grand plan is starting to unfold.


I feel the Protector was also looking out for us knowing full well the fruitioning of Global Karma. With the Mantra and Sutra Text recitations plus the mindful application of Harmony between one another, thereby creating much energy of Love, Unity, Strength, Friendship, Sharing, Support, Knowledge, Inspirational Hope, Joy, Happiness and dare I say, even Compassion... the Protector is really helping us to help ourselves!!! The world seems to be turning and flowing with pain, aggression, intolerence, anger and hatred this year much more than some previous years... and it was leading into this year our Kechara Lama has been... much more than before... using whatever ways and means he can in his human incarnation to push, prod, imprint, impress on, cajole, advise, scold or instruct all of us to practice kind heart, kind speech and positive mind. If we had been doing all that... I guess we have less to worry about during this turbulent times.The Protector knowing all this, has been subtly giving a method to protect ourselves! By creating a Force Field of Unity, Love and Compassion around us an Entity, effects of afflictive emotions like hatred and anger would not affect us so much. The grand pujas that are being done now in fact, seems to be also part of the Aegis of Love our Lama and Protector is providing for us, to ready us as a Family to face whatever upcoming challenges we may face, be it Global or Personal. We need the Merit store house, it is like our money vault during our battle against our inner demons and facing outer obstacles, it is our Cash for us to purchase more weapons to fight our own anger, hatred and all such negative emotions.


I came upon some of these conclusions coz within these two weeks much has been happening... Global disasters and wars, in our community here as well there is much personal challenges. I have seen many of my friends on the verge of falling into despair encumbered by personal obstacles, sudden illnesses, loss of jobs, Cursed/charmed by enemies, hauntings at their abodes and much more. I was imagining... what if we had not even started to pray... our situations could have been much worse off!!! Some of our Kechara friends in London had experienced this FIRST HAND, when during the day of bombing in the trains, they had "coincidentally" missed the train or somehow did not go to the danger zone even when they were supposed to, THAT is what I call the hand of Lord Setrap deflecting oncoming arrows of destruction.


Therefore... our kechara internal practice of Harmony, Unity, Kindness and Love sealed by Mantra and outer practices is the generated "Merit fuel" that the Protector uses to protect us. And thru the kindness of the Lama, having provided us with the Kechara Network of centres, shops and all; these nurturing qualities we are striving to develop will hopefully ripple all over, PJ, KL, Nationally and Globally. Thereby, sharing our modest droplets of practice into the Ocean of Goodness generated by all seekers of Peace around the world to counteract and calm the turbulence that is happening, transforming the harmful Warzone into a Garden of Peace and Tranquility.
