NOTE: On Friday, we arrive at the auspicious ninth lunar month, during which we will celebrate Lha Bab Duchen (October 29th). On Sunday, we have the anniversaries of both the 2nd Karmapa, Karma Pakshi, and Jigme Lingpa (1729 -1798) -- each of whom may be said to have profound influence in the West. Autumn excitement is in the air, and a lot of good things are happening. Isn't October a lovely month? Nevertheless, please be aware -- there is an undercurrent which demands we exercise caution. Not neurosis, mind you, but realistic caution. Some very big, very direct, primal energies are preparing to cut loose. Dragons and tigers. Fasten your seat belts -- the month gets interesting, beginning now.
