We're coming up to another eclipse this month. June 26, Lunar Eclipse 4:30 am PST. Below are some interesting thoughts from a Rinpoche about eclipses. I encourage you to harness a little of this potent eclipse energy and schedule some meditation time, whether it's primordial sound with a mantra, or the one minute meditation (see former posting), or simply whatever makes your heart sing. Maybe spending some time in the garden, making art, baking a cake or getting on all fours and playing and laughing with a child.

An announcement from Khenpo Sotagye Larong Monastery:
"According to Kalachakra Tantra, any postive action committed during the days or periods of solar or lunar eclipse, its merits get multiplied thousands and millions of times. Before HH Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche passed into parinirvana, he had been emphasizing practice on these particular days. Sangha are encouraged to vastly engage in positive deeds and refrain from negative actions or wrong-doings, recite mantra, release life, adopt vegetarian diet, or entering a Nyung-ne retreat. All of these activities are extraordinary ways to accumulate virtue."
