This cat can wait

A few evenings ago, Jerry Wang of Taiwan had filmed and posted a 24 seconds video of a cat waiting for her "mom"-- an old lady with signs of osteoarthritis, who picks recyclables like bottles and paper on the streets.  This video generates over 100K views within 48 hours.  Here is the video link:

In the video, a cat with black and white hair was meowing eagerly while waiting for someone at a cross-junction with traffic.  The cat's tail was waving at "full mast", signaling her happiness of seeing "mom" approaching her in a few seconds.

The cat's owner, an old lady, was staggering across the junction while pushing a cart with recyclables.

"This feline had been there for a long time, waiting for someone." Wrote Jerry.

"Their interactions-- had stopped the activities of all the people in the junction, gazed at the old woman and her cat."

When the cart was moving near the cat, the cat had turned around and walking elegantly with her "mom" into the alley.

阿嬤與貓   (Old woman and cat)

牠在馬路的另一頭,喵喵的叫著,
She is meowing on other side of the street.
迎接主人阿嬤的到來。
Welcoming back her old mom
感情是一種很直接沒有修飾的流露,
Love is a direct manifestation without elaboration
它超越了語言和種類,
It transcends language and species
人如此,動物也是如此,
It is same for human and animals
二者是一樣的,身異而情感不異。
The two are identical; experiencing the same feeling and love regardless of body forms
只要善待牠們,你就可以感受到那簡單且滿滿的愛。
Treating them well and you will experience this simple but fullest love

This short video could have elicited heated arguments on social injustice and poverty.  Instead, people see beyond the negative and appreciate the bonding and  simple love between two species.

Go adopt a homeless cat in your local animal shelter.

Karma Credit Windfall of the Year

Hi Pals,

The  message below wakes me up from my extended summer hibernation.  It shows you the best deal for getting huge positive karma credit with minimal effort. 

According to Tibetan Buddhism., whatever good deeds (and bad deeds too) that you do during a lunar or solar eclipse will be multiplied by 700 billion to 100k billion times 

Whether you believe in Tibetan Buddhism or not, this is a "one to billion" deal that is too good to miss. Your "good deed" can be as easy as chanting a simple mantra or as "painful" as donating a few dollars to your favorite charity (and getting the karma credit for 700- 100k billion of dollars, even beating Bill Gate). 

This is the best opportunity to dedicate substantial merits from this good deed to your karma creditors, your ancestors, your aborted children, suffering souls and the likes. 

Karma creditors are the primary source of one's suffering and misfortunes. Appeasing your karma creditors will make your life easier and may be richer.

If you don't believe in this karma credit thing, you at least be a good boy or girl during the time periods specified below. So that you will not be in big trouble if this is the real deal.

Best Wishes!

Ken Lai

Dear Dharma Brothers & Sisters:

I urge you to chant Buddha mantra during total lunar eclipse period on Oct 8, 2014 and partial solar eclipse on Oct 23, 2014. Any deeds, good or bad, committed during a lunar eclipse period can multiply up to seven hundred billion times, while a solar eclipse up to a hundred thousand billion times. Please take advantage of this rarest opportunity to cultivate great virtues and clear obstacles from previous innumerable lifetimes by chanting Buddha mantra of your choice.

For convenience, consider chanting Chenrezig (Guanyin) mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" for as many times as you can. Chenrezig practice essentials have been concisely compiled for you here. After the chanting session, dedicate your virtues to all sentient beings, which will further augment the total benefits received by all.

Chanting must be performed during the course of eclipse:
Total lunar eclipse on Oct 8, 2014 at 08:17-13:32 (UTC)
Partial solar eclipse on Oct 23, 2014 at 19:38-23:52 (UTC)

Remember to convert the UTC to your own timezone. For example, if you reside in Hong Kong/ Malaysia/ Singapore, then use UTC+8 hours (= Oct 8, 2014 at 16:17-21:32 and Oct 23, 2014 at 03:38-07:52). You can also convert the timings to your timezones at www.timeanddate.com.

May you and sentient beings benefit from the immeasurable virtues that you cultivate.

Buddha bless us all,
His Eminence Trizin Rimpoche
