Tara protects the welfare of all beings and those who are devoted to her are especially fortunate. There are innumerable manifestations of Tara, as many as beings require bringing protection, long life and peace, overcoming obstacles and saving beings from danger.
Once upon a time in legend, many eons ago during the time of Buddha Dundubhisvara, there lived a princess by the name of 'Moon of Wisdom-knowledge'. She was a very devoted disciple and would daily set out many offerings to the Buddha and his sangha. Eventually she generated bodhicitta, the aspiration to attain enlightenment, in order to help all living beings. Some bhikshus came to know of this, and urged her to dedicate the merits she had created to be reborn as a male. However, the princess rejected this advice, saying:
Here there is no man, there is no woman, no self, no person, and no consciousness. Labelling "male" or "female" has no essence but deceives the evil-minded world.
She went on to make the following vow:
"There are many who desire enlightenment in a man's body, but none who work for the benefit of sentient beings in the body of a woman. Therefore, until samsara is empty, I shall work for the benefit of sentient beings in a woman's body."
From that time onwards the princess dedicated herself to winning full and complete enlightenment. Once she accomplished that goal, she came to be known as Tara, the Liberator. And later tara became the feminine aspect of the bodhisattva of compassion, and the Mother of all the Buddhas. Happy mother’s day to all mothers.
度母守護普度眾生，凡虔信者，必具殊勝福報。度母化身無量，隨機應現，賜予眾生庇佑、長壽與安樂，化解諸般障礙，救拔苦難。
傳說在久遠劫前的鼓音如來時期，有一位名為「慧月」的公主。她是一位非常虔誠的弟子，每日都會向佛陀及其僧團供養大量物資。最終，她生起了菩提心——為了幫助所有眾生而追求成就圓滿正覺。
一些比丘得知此事後，勸她將所修功德迴向，願來世轉生為男子。然而，公主拒絕了這個建議，她說：
「此處無男亦無女，無我、無人、亦無識。標籤『男』或『女』並無本質，實乃欺誑世間愚昧之徒。」
隨後，她立下如下誓願：
「以男身求取覺悟者眾多，但以女身為眾生利益而奮鬥者卻寥寥無幾。因此，在輪迴未空之前，我將始終以女身利益一切眾生。」
從那時起，公主便致力於求取圓滿的正覺。當她達成目標後，便被尊稱為「度母」，意為「救度者」。後來，度母成為慈悲大悲菩薩的女性形象，亦被尊為「諸佛之母」。
祝所有母親母親節快樂。

I think these few years we deeply feeling a sense of powerlessness by those terrifying diseases coming from nowhere all in a sudden, all sorts of nature disasters, then when you think everything ease down a little, then unnecessary wars; massacres; economic collapse; unsettled people’s mind. To my insufficient knowledge, in uncontrollable factors or situation, dharma teachings and blessing is very beneficial of healing hearts. By unexpectedly good coincident, I met Dongsay Rinpoche and Pema Choda Rinpoche last year, which are a pure and wholehearted practitioner that becoming increasingly rare. In highly busy city life, dharma became like fast food, so call masters are giving teachings and empowerments like business, which is very unfortunate. In order to give my small contribution to the world, Munsel School support their one-week dharma activities including very special empowerments, a secret terton revealed recently specially for the benefits of the physical and mental disasters that happen “Now”. And during these dharma propagation programs, all the incomes will go for helping the East Bhutan, Shinkhar Choeling retreat center. By the virtue of these merits, we hope everyone is free from sufferings and well-being. And of course, world peace. ( for god sakes, stop the stupid wars!!)

這幾年，我們都都深切地感受到一種無力感。那些突如其來的恐怖疾病, 各種自然災害接踵而至；當你以為一切稍有平息時，緊接著又是毫無意義的戰爭、屠殺、經濟崩潰，以及動盪不安的人心。
就我有限的認知，在面對無法控制的因素或處境時，佛法的教導與加持對療癒心靈非常有用。去年在一次意外的善緣下，遇見了東瑟仁波切和曲札仁波切. 他們是現今罕見清靜單純清靜單純全心投入的修行者。在繁忙的都市生活中，佛法變得像「速食」，所謂一大堆的導師將傳法和灌頂視為生意, 實在令人遺憾。
為了對這個世界盡一份綿薄之力, 滿獅學校支持他們他們為期一週的弘法活動，其中包括非常特殊的灌頂——這是近代近代開啟的秘密伏藏，專門為了利益「當下」現今社會發生的身心災難。在這些弘法活動期間，所有收入將全數用於援助不丹東部的閉關中心。願以此功德，迴向眾生離苦得樂、身心安康。當然，還有世界和平（看在老天的份上，停止那些愚蠢的戰爭吧）。

Tashi delek my dearest dharma friends, all the sudden we are hoping into 2026 year , wow time flies. Sorry for the late update due to my inconvenience after eyes operation. To make the long story short, let me give my deep gratitude to my dearest lovely students who help cleaning the school in difficult super busy new year time, specially to Mua Mua, Pin Pin, Fa Fa, Faye Faye, BB and Man Man. Buddhas bless you guys. Moreover, I must greet everybody Happy Lunar and Tibetan New year. I guess you all quite saturated by great greetings from all over world, so my greeting became last and only, haha. For a power blessing and best purification, I want to share the following terma:
Padmakilaya
Padma Kilaya is founded in the text “the Pure Vision of the Continuous Cycle of the Sky-like Space”. The Dark Red Wrathful Kilaya with a garland of Fire.
It is revealed by Tertön Pegyal Lingpa in 1960., and where he discovered his famous Mind and Earth Treasure known as The Union of the Enlightened Intent of the Three Bodies (Kusum Gongdü) Padmakilaya is a emanation form of Guru Rinpoche. It was directly transmitted to Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche and is commonly practiced dispelling obstacles, often held in conjunction with Vajrakilaya before the Tibetan New Year. Power and Magnetizing: As part of the four bodies of Buddha, the red Padma Kilaya specifically works with the energy of fascination and magnetism, especially overcoming the deep-rooted obstacles, negativity, and karmic impediments; Transformation of negativity: The practice is designed to destroy ignorance, greed, and hostility, turning them into positive, awakened awareness; Gain spiritual protection: It offers profound protection against harmful influences, spirits, and negative forces; Merit and Wisdom Accumulation: Engaging in these rituals helps accumulate vast merit and wisdom.
Padmakilaya’s lower body often depicted a three-edged ritual dagger represents the severance of three poisons: ignorance, greed, and aggression. The sharp point symbolizes the pinning down of "demonic" forces or self ego distractions that hinder enlightenment. The upper wrathful dark red body symbolizing the power of magnetizing and subjugation of Padma family activities- transforming desire into discerning wisdom. He holds a five-pronged vajra (indestructibility) in his right hand and a scorpion in his left, represents the accomplishment and the power to transfix negativity. Padmakilaya cradled a Khatvanga (Trident) in the arm, its three points represent the three kayas (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, and Nirmanakaya) and the union of bliss and emptiness. The garland of flames symbolizes the "fire of wisdom" that consumes all dualistic emotions and ignorance.

扎西德勒，我親愛的法友們。轉眼間我們已步入 2026 年, 感嘆時光飛逝。因眼部手術後行動不便, 抱歉未能及時更新。長話短說我要向在最痛苦最忙碌的新年期間幫忙打掃學校的學生們致以深深的謝意, 特別鳴謝貓貓, 萍萍, 花花，飛飛， BB和文文。願佛菩薩保佑你們。此外，我也要祝大家農曆新年及西藏洛薩快樂。我想大家應該已經收到來自世界各地滿滿的新年祝福了，所以我的問候就自然成為「最後且唯一」了，哈哈。祝福大家獲得強大的加持與最清靜的灑淨，我想分享以下一個很特別的伏藏.
蓮師普巴-
出自《虛空界法類意伏藏》祂是深紅色的憤怒普巴尊，周身環繞著智慧火焰鬘。
此法由貝嘉林巴於 1960 年掘取，就是此作為他著名的心與地伏藏——《三身意趣合修》蓮師普巴是蓮師的化現身。此法直接傳承予恰度楚西仁波切通常用於消除障礙，常在西藏新年前與普巴金剛合修。
蓮師普巴擁有強大的懷伏力： 作為佛之四身的一部分，紅色的蓮師普巴特別運用「懷愛」與「磁吸」的能量，尤其是克服深植的障礙、負能量和業力阻礙; 轉化負面性： 此修法旨在摧毀無明、貪婪與瞋恚，將其轉化為積極且覺醒的意識; 獲得精神守護： 祂提供深層的保護，抵禦壞影響、惡靈及負面力量; 累積福慧資糧: 修持這些儀軌有助於累積廣大的福德與智慧。
蓮師普巴的造像意義：祂的下半身呈現三棱狀的法器金剛橛，代表斬斷三毒：無明、貪婪與嗔怒。銳利的尖端象徵釘住那些阻礙解悟的「魔」力或我執。上半身為深紅色的憤怒軀體，象徵蓮花部事業中懷伏與鎮壓的力量——將欲望轉化為「妙觀察智」。祂右手持五股金剛杵（象徵不可摧毀性），左手持蠍子代表成辦事業與釘住負能量的力量。蓮師普巴的手臂中抱著天杖/三叉戟，其三個尖端代表三身（法身、報身、化身）以及大樂與虛空的圓融。智慧火焰鬘則象徵焚毀一切二執情緒與無明的「智慧之火」。

Dear everyone!! Long time no see, Merry Christmas! May each of you have the most wonderful moments, filled with happiness. This year has not been easy for many, with natural disasters, the shadow of war, and the departure of many great masters. Life is always filled with pain and challenges, so that’s why it is more important that we should learn to cherish the present and everything we have around us. Learning how to be happy and how to enjoy what we have in this moment is not only the essence of life but also the foundation of meditation and spiritual cultivation. I have always loved Christmas—it is the perfect excuse for us to express love to family and friends. Today, I want to share the teachings of two lovely deities who embody the warm colors of Christmas. Their light always brings endless warmth and inspiration.
Green Tara and Red Tara are highly revered female Buddhas in Tibetan Buddhism, each representing different compassionate endeavors. Green Tara is known as the "action hero," symbolizing protection, overcoming obstacles, healing, and growth. Her presence is like an unstoppable force, bringing vitality and liberation. Red Tara, on the other hand, focuses on attracting, controlling, and magnetizing all that is beautiful—love, power, and prosperity. Her energy is closely tied to desire and passion, but note that it is mainly for spiritual aims instead of selfish desire purposes.
Their appearances and essences also have distinct differences: Green Tara is as gentle as a mother and as pure as a maiden, while Red Tara embodies a more intense, powerful, and profound energy, igniting the deepest passions and yearnings within us.
This Christmas, may the compassion and wisdom of Green Tara and Red Tara illuminate our hearts, may your every day be filled with warmth and light!
親愛的法友們！好久不見!聖 誕快樂！願你們每人都能擁有最美好的時光, 幸福滿滿。雖然這一年對許多人來說並不容易，天災人禍接踵而至，戰爭的陰影籠罩，還有許多偉大的導師永遠離開了我們。生活總是充滿了痛苦與挑戰，但正因如此, 我們更應該學會珍惜當下, 感恩身邊的一切。學會如何快樂，如何享受此刻的擁有, 不僅是生活的真諦，更是禪修與修心的根基。
我一直很喜歡聖誕節，因為我覺得這節日是多麼好的藉口向家人和朋友表達愛意。今天，我想與大家分享兩位充滿溫暖聖誕色彩的美麗本尊，她們的光芒總能帶來無盡的溫暖與靈感。
綠度母與紅度母是藏傳佛教中備受尊崇的女性佛菩薩，她們各自代表著不同的慈悲事業。綠度母被譽為「行動英雄」，她象徵著保護、克服障礙、療癒與成長，她的存在就像一股生生不息的力量，帶來活力與解脫。而紅度母則專注於吸引、控制和磁化一切美好的事物，如愛、力量與繁榮。她的能量與慾望和熱情息息相關, 但要註明一點主要是為了心靈上的提升或佛行事業, 而非為了自私的情慾. 她們的外觀與本質也有著鮮明的區別：綠度母如同母親般溫柔，又如少女般純淨；而紅度母則展現出一種更加強烈、強大且深邃的力量，她的存在彷彿能點燃我們內心最深處的熱情與渴望。
在這個聖誕節，願綠度母與紅度母的慈悲與智慧照亮我們的心靈, 擁抱愛與希望, 願你們的每一天都充滿溫暖與光明！

當令人發夢都不敢想極度淒慘的天災人禍發生時, 人力變得太渺小. 才重新 意識到生命的脆弱. 強忍心底沉重的悲哀願大埔宏福苑火災死難者安息, 離苦得樂, 福佑大埔家屬 自在安康

When disasters both natural or man-made strike with unimaginable cruelty, human power feels utterly insignificant. It’s in these moments that we’re jolted into remembering how fragile life truly is. With hearts heavily with grief, we mourn the lives lost in the Tai Po Wang F*k Court fire. May the departed find peace and liberation from suffering, and may their grieving families soon granted strength, comfort, and peace

Moon
Chandra is the god of the moon and belongs to a broad Indian cultural context. He is found in all Indian religious traditions. The chariot of Moon god Chandra, which is white in colour, is drawn by seven white geese and the god Surya, red in colour, drawn by seven horses.
In Tibetan Buddhism the god Chandra is rarely if ever depicted as a central figure alone or at the center of a mandala. However, he can be found as an emanation in depictions of Shristhikantha Lokeshvara according to the descriptions in the Karandavyuha Sutra, there are nine main Hindu gods arising from the body of Lokeshvara, the moon god is one of it. Chandra is generally only found as a retinue deity in various mandalas of the Charya and Yoga Ta**ra classifications and as a trampled deity under the feet of Vajrabhairava and other Yoga-niruttara Ta**ra meditational deities. In the Karandavyuha Sutra.
However, The moon is one of the most important symbols in Tibetan Buddhism. The calendar is based on the cycles of the moon and is composed of either 12 or 13 lunar months, each beginning and ending with a new moon. A thirteenth month is added approximately every three years. In Tibetan Buddhism there are certain rituals like the taking of vows, self-initiation and the making offerings that should be practiced on the full and new moon days. They are considered very auspicious days.
The moon has long been a source of mystery, magic, and divine energy. Considering the celestial orb impacts the tides, the agriculture, and perhaps, us, it’s not surprising that it’s captivated us for so long. And, because of this, for thousands of years, many cultures have worshiped Moon gods and goddesses around the world.Today, we think mostly of the connection between the moon and women, and female lunar deities such as Artemis and Hecate, but many of the earliest known lunar gods were male, including those from Mesopotamia, from where we have the first historical record of magic.
The moon festival is Chinese thanks giving festival. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night. On this day, the Chinese believe that the moon is at its fullest and brightest, coinciding with the time of harvest in the middle of autumn. It is one of the most important holidays and celebrations in Chinese culture that celebrates over 3,000 years. During the festival, lanterns of all sizes and shapes – symbolizing beacons that light the path toward prosperity and good fortune for the people – are carried and displayed. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet paste, are eaten during this festival symbolize unity, completeness and family reunion, togetherness, harmony and the expression of blessings and love. Happy moon festival, everyone love love xx

月
印度月神錢德拉在所有印度宗教傳統中都能找到. 他的馬車是白色的，由七隻白鵝拉動，而太陽神蘇利耶的馬車是紅色的，由七匹馬拉動。
在藏傳佛教中，月神神錢德很少被單獨描繪為中心人物，或位於曼陀羅的中心. 根據《大寶積經》的描述，描繪紅觀音中的身體中誕生了九位主要的印度教神祇，月神便是其中之一。神錢德通常只作為隨從神祇出現在各種 金剛舞和瑜伽密續分類的曼陀羅中，或被作為踐踏的神祇出現在大威德金剛和其他瑜伽無上密續神祇的腳下。
然而，月亮是藏傳佛教中則是最重要的象徵之一。藏曆基於月亮的週期，由 12 或 13 個農曆月組成，每個月都以新月開始和結束。大約每三年會增加一個第十三個月。在藏傳佛教中，有一些儀式如受戒、自我灌頂和供養，應在滿月和新月之日進行。這些被認為是非常吉祥的日子。
月亮長期以來一直是神秘、魔法和神聖能量的來源。考慮到這個天體影響潮汐、農業，對人類極具影響力, 長時間吸引着我們。正因如此，數千年來，許多文化在世界各地崇拜月神。我們很自然聯想月亮與女性的聯繫，像希臘的阿爾忒彌斯女神和赫卡忒黑月女神，但許多早期的月亮神都是男性，包括來自美索不達米亞的月神，那裡是我們首次有魔法歷史記錄的地方。
中秋節是中國的感恩節。它在農曆八月十五日舉行，當晚月亮圓滿。在這一天，中國人相信月亮最圓最亮，與中秋時節的收穫時間相吻合。這是中國文化中最重要的節日和慶祝活動之一，已有超過 3,000 年的歷史。在節日期間，人們會攜帶和展示各種大小和形狀的燈籠，象徵著照亮人們通往繁榮和好運的道路。月餅是一種豐富的糕點，通常填充甜餡，在這個節日中被食用，象徵著團圓、完整、家庭團聚、和諧以及祝福和愛。祝大家中秋節快樂, 幸福圓滿.

The Tibetan Astrological Diagram (8)
This is the final teaching about the astrological diagram. The Tibetan astrological tortoise diagram is not actually used for divinatory purpose. Although it contains the main components used for astrological calculation. It contains a large number of other diagrams, charts and complex calculators fashioned from rotating dials to fulfills purposes. However, the main function of the diagram is to act as a very powerful amulet for protection against all astrological and spirit of afflictions. It is frequently hung on doorways to protect a building of or homestead from evil spirits. Also, to create auspicious circumstances it is prominently displayed at major events or transition such as birth, marriage, moving or building house, illness and death. Tibetan astrology is an extremely profound metaphysical science, and to assume that one can derive much insight from simply knowing the qualities of the twelve animal signs. You can imagine the full astrology system is a huge knowledge that requires many years study. It is said that in learning the science of Tibetan medicine all students must undergo a thorough basic training in the principle of Tibetan astrology. On the coming day, I want to share more study of some astrological symbols, that will be quite interesting.
西藏九宮八卦圖 (8)
這篇將會是八卦圖的最終篇，八卦圖的西藏九宮八卦占星圖實際上並非用於占卜目的，儘管它包含了很多占星計算所需的主要元素。圖中匯集了大量圖表、輪盤式複雜計算器以實現多重功能。然而，此圖最主要的作用是作為一種極強力的護身符，抵禦太歲或惡靈帶來的災厄。人們常將其懸掛於門關，保護住宅或莊園免受邪靈侵擾；同時在重要場合或人生轉折點（如出生、婚嫁、遷居、建房、疾病與死亡）陳列以招引吉祥寓意。藏傳占星學是一門極其深奧的科學，試想想若僅憑了解十二生肖的特質便以為能窺其堂奧，實為誤解。完整的占星體系堪稱浩瀚知識，需經年累月研習。據傳，修習藏醫的學生皆須接受藏傳占星學原理的扎實基礎訓練。近日，我將分享更多關於占星符號教學, 我想也非常有趣。
