🌞 Sonnenfinsternis

Dieser Tag zählt als Verdienst-vervielfachend!

Lama Zopa Rinpoche erinnerte immer wieder daran, dass die karmischen Resultate/Auswirkungen von positiven (und auch negativen) Handlungen bei Sonnenfinsternissen mit 100 Millionen und bei Mondfinsternissen mit 700.000 multipliziert werden und dass der multiplizierend Effekt auftritt, unabhängig davon, ob die Finsternis teilweise oder vollständig ist.

Folgende Praxis wird empfohlen:

• Praxis für die Niederwerfungen vor den 35 Buddhas: Praxisbuch 1  Seite 38
• Vajrasattva-Reinigungs-Praxis,
• Rezitation von Sutras: Sutra vom Goldenen Licht und Vajra Cutter Sutra, 
• und jede Praxis, Meditation und Aktivität, die Du von Herzen gerne praktizierst 
  

  

  New Advice on Lunar and Solar Eclipses

  Read all posts in Study & Practice News.

  Lama Zopa Rinpoche recently offered some new advice about lunar and solar eclipses, which are considered auspicious days for practice and provide opportunities for accumulating increased merit.In addition to Lama Zopa Rinpoche reminding students that the merit generated on lunar eclipses is multiplied by 700,000 and by 100 million on solar eclipses, Rinpoche taught that the multiplying effect of eclipses occurs whether the eclipse is partial or full. Also, Rinpoche advised that the merit multiplying effect does not last the whole calendar day and that merit making activities should be carried out during the time of the eclipse itself.Whether or not an eclipse is occurring and its exact timing depends on where a student is on Earth. Websites like timeanddate.com can help students determine if and when there is an opportunity to practice during an eclipse.On these multiplying days, any beneficial practices can be done. In particular, Rinpoche recommends:

  • Recitation of the names of the Thirty-Five Confession Buddhas
  • Recitation of Vajrasattva mantras

  Any other meritorious activities advised by Lama Zopa Rinpoche are also good to do on these days, such as recitation of the Vajra Cutter Sutra, the Sutra of Golden Light, and the Sanghata Sutra, with extensive dedications. These texts are available on the “Sutras” page on FPMT.org.

  All are encouraged to use a website like timeanddate.com to determine if and when one might participate in generating 700,000 times the merit than what would be accumulated on a non-multiplying day.
