Wheel of Dharma

HAPPY WESAK CELEBRATION!

The Wesak Celebration honors the birth of Buddha’s Light, an Offering (MULUC) to Water Everywhere. On the Year 2022, we will see the Truth more than once. Under the Year Bearer, 11 Deer/MANIK, we’re led to grasp the Truth that forges us to the Highest Meaning and Purpose for Human’s Road to Destiny.

The Sacred Ceremony of Lights is carried out as a Gift of Flowers to Living Water. The monks receive the Blessing of Light, given in the first 8 minutes of the Moon’s Rise. Water carried to the Highest Place is brought down as the Offering to the Whole. May we Remember the Ones who carry out the ceremony on behalf of the whole.

The 1st step is to Remember – to See, Acknowledge, and Honor the 8 Precepts as the Source of Divine Wisdom. The Dharmachakra is the Wheel of Dharma.

8 Precepts: 1) Right View, 2) Right Thinking, 3) Right Speech, 4) Right Conduct, 5) Right Livelihood, 6) Right Effort, 7) Right Mindfulness, 8) Right Concentration

The 3 turns of the Dharma Wheel completes the Higher Purpose of Divine Trinity.

Three Pure Precepts are profoundly important. “Written so that a three-year-old child can understand them, but a person of eighty years may struggle to practice them.” Zen teacher Tenshin Reb Anderson, Roshi, said that they “describe the structure and fundamental design of the enlightened mind.” Source: LearnReligions.com

To do no evil;
To do good;
To save all beings.

The metaphor of “three turnings of the dharma wheel” refer to three revelations of enlightenment.

The 8 + 3 reflect the way of 11 Deer/MANIK, one that takes up the path on behalf of the whole. Our Highest Human Truth is the matter of our limitations. The precepts aren’t “rules” but a design for knowing our own Salvation.

Forgiveness is a Human Offering. The Highest One never sees a fault. We can be forgiven by a Human Being, though the Salvation to claim we’re “white as snow” is Redemption. We have to Redeem our Self. It takes many turns to Feel the Truth of suffering we cast on another Human Being.

This turn of the Tzolk’in we are guided by Offering/MULUC, the symbol of Human Emotions, and Water Everywhere from the Cosmos to our own Tears. The Wesak Moon is the Highest Watermark of Spirit. MULUC is ordered as a Time for Healing on a Mass Scale.

I’m grateful that Minisa, 1 Wind/IK, Remembered the Green Beings. They are the Gifts of Mother Earth – Living Water sacrificed for Human to live life in a good way – food, clothing, shelter, and the Colors of life. To carry on, I’ve been planting flowers, starts for a vegetable garden, and germinating seeds. I KNOW PEACE standing in the water and mud. I know the Green Beings know my Love when they receive my care.

Find Your Own way – create your own myth about Living in a Living World. The Elders say the Green Beings are the most Sentient of All Beings. They know the Light of the Flowering Moon. DO SOMETHING GOOD. Save ALL THE LIVING THINGS you can. REMEMBER the turns you’ve made before.

Remember the Blessings of pure, clean water, and ask that it be multiplied to abundance on behalf of the whole.

Wesak Offering: May 7-8, 2020, released to the Living Water of Puget Sound with a Wesak Prayer for Children and the Wisdom of All Possibility. May 15, 2022 (05/15/2022) is a symbol of Empowerment (5) from the Highest Place, and at the Center an Empowerment x 3 in Divine Trinity. The Master Number 2 is the Power to Create everything our heart desires… x 3 in 2022, and the symbol of 20 above (the all-in-one) who offered the way.

Don’t worry about a “perfect time or place.” Give thanks that We are Here and Now and always present as the Living Water of Life, and the Divine Plan to Save Every One.
