BPL commentary

For Magha births of a masculine valence, the condition of limitless, observing, uncoupling, surrendering, abandoning, disinterested, ethereal, wandering, dispersing Ketu may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the Ketu-ruled paradigm of Ajjha, spirit guides, astral beings, pilgrims, ghosts, wanderers, observers, witnesses, awareness of impermanence, freedom from conventions, disregard for consequences, and inner listening may be especially influential.

Guided by the patrons of Regulus. Their purpose is royal patronage of the spiritual fire traditions.

Fire Magicians

Akasha-ruled Magha gentlemen are distinguished by their rarity and their dissociation from the conventional marriage-and-family lifestyle. Like all Ketu births, the Makha masculine figure has less gender polarization and more affinity with cosmic patterns of forgiveness and release.

Generally preferring an unmarried status, Pitri natives are usually aware of their psychic vocation. One understands that the current embodiment, while it be endowed with kingly or celebrity attributes, is intended to serve as a vessel for the Light of Truth.

Although loving beings in the pure sense of permeability and transparency, masculine Makha = most often found in uniquely singular roles that require a certain distancing from conventional relationships. Given sufficient ability to operate within the earthly dimensions, a subtly dispersed light (halo) may be seen to surround the tangible body.

Themes of separation, disconnection, abandonment, alienation, escape, wandering, annihilation, surrender, and liberation may contextualize Agha's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Magha-Pitri

QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde.(1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra .p 82

"a proud but not an arrogant nature

• poised, self-contained and dignified.

• this man will command respect because of his quiet dignity of manner and bearing.

His position in his community will be secure

• and his financial standing sound.

His weakness, however, is his susceptibility to the blandishments of the opposite sex.

He must avoid entanglements

• which might lead to a loss of dignity,

• since, to this man, such a loss would be a tragedy."

His Holiness was indeed spoiled, at least as reported by his immediate elder brother (also a reincarnate tulku). Because the senior supervising lamas would not consider punishing the young and mischievous Dalai Lama, his brother was punished in the DL's stead. His brother unsurprisingly did not enjoy this arrangement. Elder brother felt that the DL was not held accountable but rather pleasured for his childish crimes.

A strong communicator bhratrupathi-3 Zukra in lagna; Guru in 3 = multi-media communications

Within the Tibetan diaspora, H.H.'s dramatic role in religious liturgy is extremely vital to ethnic tradition. The expected polarity of Chandra Purvaphalguni with Zukra signifies the ethnic pomp and circumstance, while Shani-7 emphasizes material, mechanistic, systematic philosophy of mind linking the social community of all sentient beings.

As with all mutual opposing drishti, if the planets are friendly toward each other the native can generally manage the polarity by behaving opposite ways in opposite domains.

dharmabhava-9 receives drishti from Mangala-Shani-Rahu-Guru

Shani the Worker is extremely strong in Kumbha-7. His Holiness began work in his lifelong career role on 22-Feb-1940 (age 5) during Zukra-Shani bhukti .

Although he has often said that he would prefer to retire in order to enjoy a contemplative bhukti before death, so far (2018) the demands upon his time (Shani) have not receded and he has not be able to retire. Shani's drishti upon 9-philosophy, 1-fleshbody, and 4-foundational teaching would suggest that he may be working continuously so long as the physical form (1) persists.

• H.H.'s career as a religious leader with political responsibilities would be confirmed by Shani-Meena =10th navamsha

• but the staunchly egalitarian 7th aspect from abstract, philosophically detached dig-bala * dignified, swakshetra Kumbha Shani-7 puts the kibosh on most of the pomp and ceremony. Despite the abundant plumes and trumpets of medieval Tibetan ritual with which H.H. remains involved, he is much more famous worldwide for his participatory linkage (Kumbha) systematic (Kumbha) egalitarian (Kumbha) presentation of the dharma, presented from the standpoint of a simple monk.

• Outside the Tibetan diaspora, H.H.'s clearest image is of the simple monk saying "My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."

Proposed ability to leave the body Magha lagna also suggests DL's capacity to communicate psychically with those who are sensitive enough to perceive his presence on the astral plane. Many people report that H.H. appears to them in dreams and waking meditation, as a benevolent, fatherly figure offering unconditional acceptance and encouragement in their spiritual practice.

• HH Dalai Lama,
• translated and edited by Jeffrey Hopkins, p.188

"When I was a young boy, Tantra was just a matter of blind faith. At age twenty-four, I lost my own country, and then after coming to India started really reading Tsongkhapa's explanations on emptiness.

Then, after moving to Dharamsala, I put more effort into the study and practice of the stages of the path, emptiness, and Tantra. So it was only in my late twenties after gaining some experience of emptiness that deity yoga made sense.

One time in the main temple in Dharamsala I was performing the ritual of imagining myself as a deity of Highest Yoga Tantra, called Guhya-samaja.

My mind continuously remained on the recitation of the ritual text, and when the words "I myself" came, I completely forgot about my usual self in relation to my combination of mind and body: Instead, I had a very clear sense of "I" in relation to the new, pure combination of mind and body of Guhyasamaja that I was imagining.

Since this is the type of self-identification that is at the heart of Tantric yoga, the experience confirmed for me that with enough time I could definitely achieve the extraordinary, deep states mentioned in the scriptures."

What is a 'Lama Blessing'?

H.H. Dalai Lama. (2003).

• Stages of Meditation .
• Ven. Geshe Lobsang Jordhen, Losang Choephel Ganchenpa, and Jeremy Russell (Trans.).

"Let me begin by explaining what we mean by blessing when we talk about a lama's blessing or the blessing of the Dharma in the Buddhist context.

Blessing must arise from within your own mind .

• It is not something that comes from outside, even though we talk about a lama's blessing or the blessing of the Three Objects of Refuge.

• When the positive qualities of your mind increase and negativities decrease, that is what blessing means.

The Tibetan word for blessing can be broken into two parts:

• byin means "magnificent potential,"

• and rlab means "to transform."

• So, byin rlab means transforming into magnificent potential.

Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities that you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities that you have already developed.

• It also means decreasing the defilements of the mind that obstruct the generation of wholesome qualities.

• So, actual blessing is received when the mind's virtuous attributes gain strength and its defective characteristics weaken or deteriorate."

H.H. Dalai Lama. (2001).

• Answers: Discussions with Western Buddhists by the Dalai Lama . Jos� Ignacio Cabez�n (Ed.)

"Suppose... you try to convert someone from another religion to the Buddhist religion, and you argue with them trying to convince them of the inferiority of their position.

And suppose you do not succeed, suppose they do not become Buddhist. On the one hand, you have failed in your task, and on the other hand, you may have weakened the trust they have in their own religion, so that they may come to doubt their own faith.

What have you accomplished by all this? It is of no use.

When we come into contact with the followers of different religions, we should not argue. Instead, we should advise them to follow their own beliefs as sincerely and as truthfully as possible. For if they do so, they will no doubt reap certain benefits. Of this there is no doubt. Even in the immediate future, they will be able to achieve more happiness and more satisfaction.

...When I meet the followers of different religions, I always praise them, for it is enough, it is sufficient, that they are following the moral teachings that are emphasized in every religion. It is enough, as I mentioned earlier, that they are trying to become better human beings. This in itself is very good and worthy of praise."
