08/08/08 - auspicious date?

[dabeisyin]

Every day I show up somewhere it's auspicious.  If I show up at your house on 09/09/09 it would be realli realli hot.  I'll be sure to bring my clown costume.

09/09/09 - It has to be auspicious!  Come on!  Not sure what it means though.  My 08/08/08 year has been mega-way-cool.  But of course, you make your own luck - like you make your own karma.  I decided 08/08/08 was auspicious and so it was.  Maybe that helps.

Hahahaha.... everyday is a auspicious day, it all depends how you see the day by your ownself......If you have alot of pressure and moody, of course in your mind, you think is a bad day.....BUT if you think, no matter what had happen to me today, being good or bad, i will face it with happy mind, then this will be a auspicious day for you......

Conclusion, is all depends how you think about the day being auspicious or bad only.......Mind training....Hehehe..... )

In what way are these days auspicious?

[pummy369]

Numerology I guess.  Ask the Chinese why they love the number 8 so much.  Something to do with prosperity I think... The repetition of what is considered a lucky number may make that date auspicious numerologically speaking.  If a number occurs many times in one day, it might indicate that day carries alot of whatever significance that number by itself usually has - multiplied by how many times it is repeated.  That's my guess but I am no numerology expert and this is not exactly a Dharma topic either - so I have taken you all off track.  Within the Tibetan tradtion though, it seems that 3 and 7 seems to have significance and perhaps other numbers.  I don't know why.

I have to say that I predicted by numerological reasoning that this would be an abundant year for me and it has out-performed even my predictions.  It has been especially abundant spiritually - my favourite kind of abundance.

Also, I'm seeing alot of 11:11 when I am looking at the clock lately.  I love that!  Not sure what it means though.  I heard that it means something about 'the teacher'.  But seriously, I don't know and I'm just shooting the breeze with y'all.

For what must have been years it seemed I would always catch the clock at 9:47 at least once a day, my spiritual friend was born in 1947 and that would remind me of her.

Hahahaha....what a creative way to do like that - Spiritnoname.....

Meaning of Auspicious: Attended by favorable circumstances; propitious; Marked by success; prosperous.

So any day can be auspicious - own birthday, parents' birthday and definitely Guru' birthday.  Any religious event.

Once I was to meet my lama but something came up so cannot meet up. My lama said it is auspicious - as meaning we will meet up later to finish the business that was meant to take place in the first place.

I love that spin on things hot-spot.  Looks at the positive aspect of what might at first seem mis-fortunate.

H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche was born on 24th October 1965.  This is sourced from a beautiful book I received as a gift from a spiritual friend.  It is called  -
