The Union of Heaven and Earth

A cosmic union between the Heaven and Earth occurs on the 16th day of the 5th lunar month every year. The cosmic union will somehow multiply the effect of a spiritual practice by numerous folds, helping a practitioner attain a swift spiritual advancement within a very short span of time. This is indeed a golden opportunity not to be missed!
Singapore has gone through a period of very dry weather lately. Any rain was unexpected during this period. However, a pleasant surprise came in the afternoon today – a sudden rainfall happened. Some of our fellow practitioners took this opportunity to collect some rain water, known as “water without root” (rain water collected mid-air before it touches the ground). Acho Rinpoche explained that such water, already charged by the cosmic union during this rare moment, can become even more powerful after being blessed by the Buddha. Such water can eradicate our negative karma, illnesses and increase our longevity. It was indeed a very rare occurrence.  
Tonight, Acho Rinpoche transmitted a very special practice taught by the Supreme Elder of Taoism personally, who manifested at the juncture of the cosmic union. This practice includes a special set of mudras and a mantra, signifying the initial formation of the universe and the birth of all living beings. This practice can help a practitioner gain the most powerful blessing of Taoism.
Sherap Galtsen Lama from the Mindrolling Monastery in Nepal also joined us in the practice with full concentration. To a Tibetan monk, this must be his first experience in learning a Taoism practice!
We are grateful to the founder of Taoism – the Supreme Elder of Taoism, who transmitted such a superior practice for the sake of helping the sentient beings and leading all onto the path of enlightenment.
Homage to Sun Moon Lamp Buddha!
