All of us at Dongyu Gatsal Ling Initiatives extend our warmest greetings to you for this New Year of the Wood Snake. May there be peace and harmony in the lives of all. As Jetsunma says in her message here, challenging times invite us to cultivate wisdom and merit in our daily lives and bring light to the world: to find ways to do positive things each day and cultivate pure perception.

Please enjoy her message below:

As we are going about our business during the day, we see ourselves as Padmasambhava. We see all beings we meet as emanations of Padmasambhava. Immediately upon meeting someone, we recognize their inherent Buddha nature. All sounds we hear are sounds of the mantra. Nice sounds, harsh sounds, all are just the mantra. All thoughts — good thoughts, bad thoughts, intelligent thoughts and stupid thoughts — are just the play of Guru Padmasambhava's wisdom mind. Nothing to worry about. If we can maintain this throughout the day, we will learn what it is to develop pure perception.

—Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

It's essential to make our daily life into a Dharma practice, as much as we possibly can, so that the worldly life and Dharma become one. Throughout the day, we must really try to be more mindful, aware and kind. Every breath we take with awareness is a Dharma practice, so there's no dissonance between the two. As long as we are conscious, we can be practicing.
