Meditation On Tara - A Guardian Figure


This is a guardian who has taken a human form. The guardian's true form is represented by the shapes and colors at the edge of the mandala - the light outlines the face. The human form was taken to reflect the image of the person meditating. The duller colors of purple and red are meant to distract the meditator from the goal which lies beyond the guardian.

Vajrasattva Meditation - Mandala with Black Lightning Center


This image represents the opening into the Void aspect of Vajrasattva.
He is bright diamond light which creates beauty and innocence (daisies), and green leaves of the organic worlds.

As one meditates upon him, perception becomes crystalline and geometrical and eventually reaches the source of the perception in Emptiness. The gray area is the crystalline ice of the mind which opens up to reveal the dark Buddhist Void.

Time Dakini - Dakini With Drums as Hourglasses Whose Rhythms Mark Time

Here the dakini represents both bondage and transcendence. She is bound to the instincts and birth and death with lives marked out as grains of sand. But she is also a dancer who can transcend instinct and the animal nature, and can play the drums of time beyond the forces of reincarnation.

Rumi -
The Dancing Cry Of The Soul


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Love is the dancing cry of the soul, calling the body to worship
Like a shining whirlpool, or a spinning mayfly
So is love among the skies.
I leap across the mountaintops, madly singing the song of all songs
I float through the ether, intoxicated, thrilled
I think only of your love, your calling to me
And I dance the thousand dances of love, all returning to you.

It is not the play of children, nor the detached unity of wise sages
Unreal! Unnecessary!
Where is the beauty?

When I, like a glowing comet, may flash around your sun
Laughing, singing, with the joy of loving you!

Wine makes drunk the mind and body
But it is love which thrills the soul
When I approach you, I feel the mad pounding of love
The singing wonder
The joy which opens blossoms on the trees of the world.

Come to me, and I shall dance with you
In the temples, on the beaches, through the crowded streets
Be you man or woman, plant or animal, slave or free
I shall show you the brilliant crystal fires, shining within
I shall show you the beauty deep within your soul
I shall show the path beyond Heaven.

Only dance, and your illusions will blow in the wind
Dance, and make joyous the love around you
Dance, and your veils which hide the Light
Shall swirl in a heap at your feet.

Thank you HSC, I sent the website along to our local Unitarian Universalist "minister" who happens to be a Buddhist. I thought he'd be interested in the stories.

The Romance of the Sun and the Moon


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moon was alone one evening, shining in the midnight sky. Although she was surrounded by myriads of tiny, sparkly stars, she felt as if there was no one to understand her. She eagerly searched the skies for a friend, perhaps a meteor, with whom to discuss the joys and sorrows of her life. But there was nobody.

On the other side of the world, the sun yawned and awoke to shine his light upon the blue-green temples of God. He heard the call to worship, and saw the waves of people bowing and praying. He felt full of good will and charity towards the masses of God's servitors. Perhaps they were not holy, but at least they were faithful.

The moon stayed alone, suspended in the sky with none to touch her. A tiny star whispered to her of a great being, the sun, who brought joy and light to the world. She listened with interest, for it seemed that once, a long time ago, she had seen a being such as this. Beautiful as he was, the sun seemed always just beyond her reach. She would visit the places where he had been, and would always find that he had just left. Those who knew him spoke of his wonder and his glory, and she felt unworthy to be in his presence.

Now the sun was unaware of her yearning, for he was too busy making the crops grow and warming the world. Those who wished his light had only to look upward to heaven and he was there, beaming down upon them.

The moon continued to follow the sun, always coming nearer to him, always hearing that he had just left that portion of the sky, or was just over the next mountain range. Where before there was despair, now she was ever more hopeful, for she knew that she was approaching his presence.

She came closer and closer, until one glorious day came when she stood before him, naked and unafraid. The world looked up and saw only blackness - in the middle of the day. But the moon stood mid-way between the sun and the earth, and all of his glory was for her.

His light blotted out all of her loneliness, all of her pain, all of her past. She stood bathed in wonder before him, and his light filled her soul.

She passed away from him full of light and joy, and though his light was too bright to remember, it was also too powerful to forget. She was dizzy with wonder. As time passed, it seemed that she once had been a being full of light, yet it was so long ago…


Such is the soul of man, dear one. It yearns of the glorious light of Truth, which destroys all loneliness and memory. The many lives of man are as many times as the moon see the sun - after each, nothing remains but a vague idea of a beauty one seen. And there is always the longing, and always the return.


..speaking of, i think a lot of us have been riding high on this recent eclipse energy we're in between. i'm starting to feel a little "wobbly" but will stay aware of the energy and not allow myself to crash and burn this time. hehe.

not sure if it's my anaretic degree moon, or the natal node conjunct it that makes eclipse time extremely intense and eventful periods of my life.

is the full moon this wednesday?.....
