Every year on January 25th, Kadampa Buddhists make special offerings for Heruka Day. Heruka is the Tantric Buddha of Compassion. You can read more about him here: http://kadampa.org/en/buddhism/heruka-vajrayogini
I will be at Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers tonight at the Temple, probably lying down in the back row for some of it. Thank you to everyone who is setting up for the prayers - I wish I was able to help you.
If you know of anyone who needs prayers, today is a great day to pray for them. It is a day to pray for world peace. (Did you see the news yesterday about all the shootings in the U.S.? Times are scary.) There are so many people and animals suffering all over the world. May they soon find read happiness.
In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."
