Phub Dorji Wang

Cultivate Generous Thought and practice giving gifts to the Sanghas.

The Buddha once explained that it is a meritorious act even to throw away the water after washing one's plate with the generous thought: 

"May the particles of food in the washing water be food to the creatures on the ground." 

Even when the waste is discarded with pure thought as it benefits some one, it is also an act of indirect giving and do accumulate merit.
For example, when you throw empty mineral water bottles in dustbin think as above, it bring good virtue as it benefits some waste collectors. 

When, these waste brings so such merits, just think how much merits you will accumulate when you practice giving real gifts.

Giving is one of the essential preliminary steps of Buddhist practice. When practiced in itself, it is a basis of merit or wholesome karma. When coupled with morality, concentration and insight, it leads ultimately to liberation from samsara, the cycle of repeated existence.

So in the practice of giving keep one's mind pure, select the worthiest recipients available ( usually monks) , and choose the most appropriate and generous gifts one can afford.

Tibetan Eye Chart that is handy today

This timely Tibetan Eye Chart which was developed by Tibetan Lama long ago (before the light was invented ) is now becoming very essential in today’s context.
With the outburst of digital world people literally can’t stay their eyes away from fiddling electronic gadgets. Everyone is seen busy with their Mobile phones most of the time.

Watching anything on small screen strains our important eyes. There is danger of loosing eye sight slowly. All experienced blaring of eyes from time to time on usage of mobile phones.Therefore, we must give exercise to our eyes.

For generations the people of Tibet have used natural methods to correct visual weakness and improve their eyesight. Chief among the methods employed has been the use of certain exercises which have proved useful over long periods of time. 

The figure on this chart was designed by Tibetan Lama Monks to give the necessary corrective exercises and stimulation to the muscles and nerves of the optical system.
The eye Muscles focus similar to a camera shutter.
The purpose of these exercises is to strengthen the eye muscles to improve vision.
A few minutes practice morning and evening will bring immediate effects and over a period of months a most definite improvement will result.

How to Use the Chart

These exercises are to be done without eye glasses or contacts.
Do each movement for 30 seconds while in a sitting position, spine straight and do not move the head side to side. Move only the eyes.

1.) With the palm of each hand cup both closed eyes to relax them.
2.) Move the eyes clockwise around the outer circle of dots
3.) Repeat this movement in a counterclockwise rotation
4.) Move the eyes back and forth between the dots at 2 and 8 o’clock
5.) Repeat this movement back and forth between dots at 4 and 10 o’clock
6.) Blink the eyes briefly and finish therapy with the palming same as exercise as No. 1
Repeat exercises as desired being careful to avoid strain. 

After beginning therapy wear eyeglasses and contacts as little as possible. In time these crutches will become unnecessary.

The process of repair and the reforming of the curvature of the back of the eye require specific exercise and the increase of the nutrients used only by the eye for its repair and maintenance. 

Like any other muscle the more exercise the more nutrients are needed.
So find out which nutrition is good for eyes and consume that.
Hopefully, it will improve your eye sights.

Please take care your eyes.

Daily increase your merits.

Nargarjuna said:

“Since life is full of harms and more impermanent than a water-bubble blown by the wind, it is a wonderful surprise to have the chance to wake up from sleep, breathing in and out.”

Daily when you wake up in the morning think of the impermanence nature of us. Understanding that our life is like a water bubble that can burst at any time it is wise to practice dharma and be compassionate to all sentient beings.

As explained by Buddha in the sutra teachings, if you recite
“OM SAMBHARA SAMBHARA VIMANASARA MAHA JAMBHA HUM”
seven times, it increases any merit you collect during the rest of the day 100,000 times.

Because of loosing this Yang (prosperous), probably his descendants will suffer from handicaps, rheumatisms, arthritis, eyes problems, blindness or alternatively, if the above mentioned illnesses will not happen, his descendants will suffer by shoulder pains, nose and eye problems. There will always be unhappiness with the mind not remaining in the heart. By nature he will be nervous, short tempered, but good of heart.

Health: This will be subject to two conditions: either the person will become an orphan or he will be influenced by the negative energy originated by a grudge coming from - his mother's or sister's side. This negative energy is not very favourable to his protectors, therefore he will probably suffer from sensory organ problems or from parents dying during a journey or from missing bones of the head, the consequence of which is that the person will hold two places of residence.

Spirits: This person will be provoked by King Spirit, Thumb size spirit and Gongpo spirits, therefore he will feel the burning of the mind. There is a big danger that a Gongpo spirit will enter into his heart. His protectors are white female Naga spirits and they will protect him from any negative influence.
 
Advice: If the person is good and clean from a hygienic point of view, then his protectors will always be favourable with him and he will avoid the negative energies deriving from a dead body and a marriage.

Mantra: OM VAJRA PANI HUM 

 
A person born in this Mewa, whether male or female:
 
Past live: His past life was in hell, then he became the son of a daemon, then a cannibal. As a sign and influence of his past live, in this life he will probably separate from his parents early and will make a perjury to his father and uncle. He will need to change his house. If he is the first child of the family, then he will be easy to grow up. He will suffer from the competition and the jealousy of his father's side relatives. He will be nice and gently speaking but inside of strong character. He will have a cold mood and will talk a little but significantly. These are the symptoms of his past life influence.
 
Present life:
While young, he will suffer from various problems as a consequence of his birth having brought some obstacles to his parents, relatives, friends, or to the property. In his life there will possibly be some suffering which will make him cry. Even if he does his work with a positive mind and a good heart, people will treat him wrongly.
 
He has done his job to the best of his capacity, but he will obtain very little appreciations. If he is a religious practitioner, he will have powerful psychic energy. He will like meat and, by nature, will be very nervous and aggressive. Even if he shows kindness to others, he will get a negative response. He will make other people happy but very little satisfaction will come to him.
 
Character: It is said that even if people eat hundred tastes contained in the food, still they do not feel satisfied. He has done the job with full energy but his work has not been finished at all. He had a precious respect of his friends, partner and children, but he has not got a good fortune to stay with them. It is said that a single is like an arrow.
 
As a consequence of a fratricide committed by one of his ancestors, his character will be influenced and turn into a strange one so that he will care of his work in the morning and will become careless in the evening. He will possess an unchangeable mind and a powerful speech.
 
He will be separated from his parents and will miss a bone in the head, so his property and life will be instable; it is said: if the iron palace has no doors, the king will be lifeless and if a cock is put under the dust it will spread all the dust in the space. These will happen metaphorically in his life.
 
Health: In general there will not be many physical problems, but if he gets a disease, it can be dangerous to his life.
Children: The portion of children allotted to him is fixed to two or three.
Next live: He will be reborn as a cannibal or a bear, a monkey, or a preta.
 
Pacification: If he is going to build a Vajrapani statue and ' practice, then life can change in future and he will be reborn as a Tsang ri (Heavenly god)' or as a Shang lon (son of a wealthy spirit) or he will be reborn as a male in the human world. Signs and symptoms of this show in his right side back and right or left arm, left chest or in the shoulder or in the neck, where there could be a mole.
 
Spirits: He will get a provocation from a Sadak and from a De-bo and Dud and War God will protect him. He will not suffer from minor spirits.
 
Because of two male and female bDud spirits provocation, his birth will have a negative effect for his relatives. Their Yang (prosperous) will be lost. He himself will be difficult to grow up. When he is grown up, he will separate from his partner or it will be difficult for him to grow up his children.
 
Advice: In the history of his ancestors, there could be a story of fratricide, and a lack of children. In the future his descendants will suffer from the same, therefore he must be conscious of this.
 

Mewa: 3 

Mewa Color: Blue 
Element: Water 
Direction: East 
Length of life: 50 years with three difficult periods. Birthmark: On the calf of the left leg. 
Practice: The suggested practice is that of Vajrasattva (Dorje-Sempa) practice. Vajrasattva purifies and removes the limitations, obstacles and imperfections of the mind. 
Mantra: OM VAJRA SATTVA HUM 

Past live: His reincarnation has been helped and driven by a spirit bSenmo or kLu-srin or Gnyan, therefore it is said he is the son of this spirit. In his past life he was born as a bragsrin (abominal man of the rocks), in his second past life he was born as a cannibal, finally he was born as an elephant.
 
The karmic forces and influences of past live in his present character: this person loves sleeping and has a big and brave heart. His belongings are instable. Signs of these influences could be birthmarks on his leftside leg and on the lower abdomen. As a consequence of his birth, his family lost the Yang (prosperous).
 
Character: He will be greedy and tricky. Without properly knowing the religious and spiritual practices he will like to show his knowledge. If he is a man, he will be a little talkative; if the person is a woman, she will suffer from losing her husband early. He will not be humiliated by upper class people, but he will get humiliations from the lower people. People hidden in the shadow will be his enemy in the future.
 
There can be the danger that by speaking he will separate from his partner, husband or wife. He is a person who always changes his mind, he does what he wants and is difficult to be influenced by others. He is ambitious and difficult to satisfy. Spirits always try to interfere with him and this brings unsuccesfullness in his work. He did good and kindness to others, but he will receive blames by other people.
 
People will not let him go into a high position and he can not stand a lower position. He is a person easy to deceive and sometimes blames and criticisms will deceive him. He is a person who is expecting the good results coming from his past live.
His ancestors are appearing from the polished surface of a sword; they have been successful to hold the place of his generation, but because of this, his ancestors were killed or died under a knife or another weapon. From his father's side, some members of his family have been separated from the family or have been in poor situations.
 
He is the man who got a leg to support his own body, but got no clothes to cover his leg and this means that in the last he will remain single or hold two places.
 
He will be a self-made man with little physical sickness.
 
Health: Generally this person will enjoy good health, but he will die from a chronic disease or an accident. For him and his descendants, the cause of death will be a falling or rolling down from a mountain, a sword or suffocation.
 
Among his children, there will probably be problems of internal organs or swallowing, skin disease or oedema, hemiplegia or epilepsy.
 
Children: This person is like a tree with many leaves and little fruit; similarly, he is a man with many marriages but few children.
 
Wealth: This person has a good divine protector, which however went away because of his negative and contaminated works and therefore the Yang (prosperous) of the property and wealth has been stolen by a hDre or an enemy. Consequently, his wealth is instable like an illusion or like the vapors of water.
 
Life span: The life span is fixed around fifty years, with three obstacles.
Next live: In his next life he will probably be reborn as the daughter of a cannibal or as an elephant or as a ptarmigan (mountain bird)
 
Pacification: If the person make a very generous gift and recites the Mantra of Vajrasattva around ten thousand or one hundred thousand times and if he builds a statue of Vajrasattva, he will be reborn in the West with a different [than oriental] language as a daughter in a rich family. As a sign of this happening he might have a birthmark on the back ribs, arms or on the pelvic area.
Spirits: Just after his birth, spirits Dre-wo and Sen-mo provoked him. During his life he will get a provocation from a Sa-srin and a kLu-srin. Also, a kLu-srin and a Gongpo are his protectors, who help him to be protected from the negative influences.
 
Advice: It is dangerous for him to make burning near the spirit of the house or of the land. He should keep attention to negative forces and to the energy which obscure his intellect and awareness.

Practice: The practice is that of Vajrapani, which is strength and the clearing of obstacles. Become like the vajra -- indestructible. Get a statue of Vajrapani or a stupa. 
Mantra: OM VAJRA PANI HUM 

 
Past live: His reincarnation in the human realm was helped by a white female Naga spirit, therefore he is a son of Naga. In his past life, this person was a kLu and then he was reborn as a white deer. As sign of the influences of these past live he might have moles or a round and black birthmark on the right leg.
 
Present life: His descendants will get sensory organ problems or will suffer from many court cases and misfortunes because of having one Yang (prosperous) from the house. He will receive a lot of jobs or occupations which require travelling and many sufferings. People will use to talk a lot about him. He does a good job but results will be claimed by others. He does not like to stay in a lower position but people will not let him come up. There will be no big income, although he does not need to spend a lot.
 
Character: He loves to travel and to do a lot of mental work. He will be profound and with a negative mind. By nature, this person will love cleanliness. He is sensible,clearly speaking, but easy to get nervous. He will dispense generosities, but he will receive only blame and negativitites.

If he does not have this, he must be a left-handed person or there is a possibility to have a mole or wart in his face.

Spirits: Through contamination, this person will suffer from instable property and will need to change place. Animals which belong to his relatives will suffer from the spirit. The shape or the spirit is similar to the crescent moon or to a bow.
 
Nearby his house there is a road or a passage for the travelling of Naga spirits, therefore his descendants will probably receive a provocation from them. A White female Naga spirit and the head of the Nagas (Klu-mGon) will protect this person.
 
Advice: Always he will have to pay attention to contaminated places, like dead bodies, marriage parties and and grudges. This person has to make a Naga puja and need to pay attention to .Nagas; if not, they will provoke him in the name of this contamination and he get a Naga disease. He has to worship these Nagas by offering different grains and Naga medicines (kLu-sMan). If the worship goes perfectly, he will receive great boon.

Some people, to whom he had been helpful, will transform into his enemy and may create great blame to him. He will be unhappy of his work.
 
His heritage will belong to a learned family or he himself will be a great learned person. Physically, he will perform strong actions but internally he will not be ambitious. It will be difficult for him to gain satisfactions from others. By nature, he will have a heavy mouth [that means, he will not be very talkative] and will like to postpone his duties. Internally, he has a stable mind and has good control of himself.
 
Health:
If the child is female, she will get health problems related to others blamings; if the child is a male, health problems will start at adult time. Generally, various physical problems will always be present. Be it male or female, it will suffer by the contagious fever or other external problems like robberies or killings. Physically, it will also suffer from lymphatic, or serum or bile disorders.
 
Wealth: In general, good prosperity in land and properties, except animals, but his property will be instable
 
Children: Regarding the portion of allotted children, he is a person who will get difficulties in having children, but if he tries, the portion of children is fixed to five.
 
Life-span and advice: If he spends much time in the religious practice, he will be of long life.
 
Next life: In this life this person has been engaged with negative works, so in the next life he will probably be reborn as a monkey or as a hen.
 
Pacification: If the person is going to make a Buddha Statue or to print a Dorje choepa, then in his next life he will be transformed into a tantric practitioner or will born as a man with a good faith for the spiritual life. In his second next life he will be reborn as a son of a sRin (a pacification is needed) or as a son of a business-man.
 
Spirit: He will get a provocation from King spirit, Purkha, Dam-sri, klu, Nyen, Sadak spirits. A rGyalpo spirit may interfere with him and without reason he will get nervous and aggressive; he will lose control of his mind, which will become too flexible. Even his descendants will get a problem of hysteria or depression, will die suicide by knive or will be provoked by a Ma-mo.
 
As a sign of this, because protectors and spirits are not happy, he will have strange dreams. He will need to change his house or other people will push him to move from his house. He will also get a provocation from a protector of a monastery and of spiritual practitioners.
 
If he belongs to a Bonpo or a Buddhist or to other spiritual heritage, then he will not suffer from these problems related to the spirits.
 
Advice: This person should pay attention to knives and needs to make a propitiation to his protectors. There is a great need for a confession to the protectors in order to transform the negativities. Also a ritual performance of gDsugtor-sTongbZlog is needed and this person should try to be a good spiritual practitioner.

Mewa: 9 

Color: Red 
Element: Fire 
Direction: South 
Length of Life: 73 years with five difficult periods. Birthmark: On face, neck or left-leg. 
Practice: Suggested practice is that of Manjushri, the development of the mind and intellect. 
Mantra: OM ARA PATSA NA DHI 

 
A person born in this mewa is the son of a Deva physician.
 
Past live: In his past live he was an underground spirit dMu, then he was born as a dog in a rich family, then as a shaman practitioner, then in his last life he was the son of a heavenly god's physician, therefore this person is said to be blessed by the great physician of the sky.
Present life: He is the person who is holding (metaphorically) seven holy-hook flowers in the right hand and seven in the left. If he does not separate from these flowers, he will not need to depend on anybody. Even if his parents are poor, he will be rich: it is the result of his own fortune.
If he separates from these flowers, he will break his Yang (prosperous) and will diminish its power. The consequences will be: if the person does not possess a rich property, then his relatives will turn into enemies; if he is a female, then no harm will result, but if the person happens to be a shaman or a Buddhist or a spiritual practitioner it will be even worse for him.
 
Character: In general he will have a white and open mind with a big jealousy and a strong desire for the property. If he does not dry his Yang (prosperous), then he will be happy in the later part of his life. From a black material a spirit will possibly provoke his children. To prevent all negativities, a Yang (prosperous)-sgrub ceremony should be performed. If he does not separate from the Yang (prosperous), no problem will occur for a mouthful of food and a handful of work.
Enemies will arise from where he never thought before. Hundreds of men will be rolling the arrow and hundreds of women: will be flapping the wools against him [ that means everybody will be very angry with him]: therefore the man will wander around and the parents will miss the bone of the head. There is a big possibility that his relatives will become his enemies and that he will become a public focus.
Noble people will love him but lower class people will hate him. In his past heritage very precious jewels or antiques were lost and this caused him to lose his Yang (prosperous), but his latter part of life will be full of Yang (prosperous) and will boost with the oil of fortune. He is a man who has given up the religion of others and escaped from his father's religion and is at present devoted to a very strange religion.
 
Wealth:
He is a person who needs to spend a lot of money, and is also an emotive person. In short, during his parents' and his own life he lost Yang (prosperous) of men and properties, therefore his property will be instable like dew, which appears and easily disappears. The first part of his life will be difficult, but the latter part will be happy and rich. His Yang (prosperous) exits among the animals.
 
Life span is 70 years with five obstacles.
 
Next Life:
Next life, if he is not careful in being involved in negative actions, he will be reborn as a dog, a Monkey or as a poor woman.
Pacification:
If the person makes a Manjusri statue and recites his Mantra, he will be reborn as a son of a rich family in the West or he will be reborn as a rich, miser person or in alternative, he will be reborn as a god dwelling in the sky clouds. This shows in some signs, like having a mole or a fleshy mark on the heard, on the face, on the neck, on the back or on the left side leg.
 
Spirits: Mountain dwelling spirit and the son of a sMan-mo will protect him and a spirit who dwells in a mountain water or in a small forest will provoke him
 
Advice: If he keeps animals, a Yang (prosperous) propitiation will recover and collect his Yang (prosperous)'.
