Covid-19 look out. We have a spiritual steamroller heading our way. Tomorrow begins the most sacred month of the year (lunar calendar) – Saga Dawa, the month of Shakyamuni Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana. June 5 (15th of lunar calendar), full-moon day, is the climax. During this month consequences of our actions (karma) are exponentially increased, both positive and negative, especially on June 5. Try to avoid harm to others and to yourself. Be generous. Be kind. Be patient. Be diligent. Be focused. Be wise seeing everything like a dream, mirage, or reflection in a mirror. Be loving and compassionate to everyone including yourself.
