May the Ani Yun Wiwa snow moon and this New Year of the Female Metal Ox support growing wisdom and compassionate skill in transforming patterns arising from deep beneath the sea of conditioned experience into remembrance of our interdependence as drops within a sea of awareness.
Yesterday’s unresolved issues when viewed with discernment become skillful action as we observe clear water reflecting open sky and choose to manifest cooperative community building.
Treasures revealed as outgrown thoughts of dominion over are transmuted, becoming elixirs supporting compassionate discernment of our interdependence in the dance of appearances.
The sound of a metal bell ringing in the open sky calls us to attentiveness as sure footed as the ox on the mountain path steadily aware of the burden of aggression to be put down.
Sweet waters flow from the hills conveying messages from the mountain top that we as human family now see clearly the view woven of thought speech and action reflecting our awakened state.
During the next 15 days of the New Year’s unfolding, every action is magnified ten million times so let us energize compassion, let us offer wisdom and skill, let us do our practices first. Let us remember the accumulation of mantra, prayer and most importantly the energizing of compassionate activity that all may recall our natural state as luminosity.
Peace,
