A new column on our platform: the daily Tibetan MO.
One of the most fascinating decision-support systems of Tibetan Buddhism is now featured daily among our News. A short, focused message that reflects on the day's energetic quality and helps you see situations more clearly.
The daily MO is linked to the wisdom system of Mañjuśrī, so the interpretations are not generic — they give direction: when to act, when to wait, and what to pay closer attention to on that particular day.
One minute of reading. One precise direction. Every day.
According to the MO, today is: "Scattered Sand Mountain"
This means our mind can easily fall apart. As if an inner wind were sweeping through us, stirring things up so we cannot see clearly. Not because something is wrong, but because the murkier layers of our consciousness are surfacing more easily today.
At such times we tend to see ourselves only partially.
What is good, we don't notice; what is difficult, we magnify. Something may be going well, yet we still feel afterwards: "this didn't really work either."
That is the kind of day this is.
And meanwhile the māras activate more easily too. They appear in the form of thoughts, feelings, reactions, and if we don't pay attention, they simply pull us apart. So today the key is not pushing through but awareness. It's perfectly fine if this cleansing shows up in the body too: headache, stomach ache, tension, even stronger letting-go processes. These are now the imprint of our state of mind. What can help: stay present, and don't believe everything that arises.
And the sangha is very important. If you chant mantras today, dedicate them. To each other, to your family, to anyone. This is particularly strong now for accumulating merit and for stabilising.
If you want something to hold on to, you can work with these mantras:
Padmasambhava's mantra:
OM AH HUNG VAJRA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG
or the mantra of Nyurma Pamo (an aspect of Tārā):
OM TARE TUTTARE BODHICITTA SVAHA
Not much is needed. Better little, but with presence. If you work with crystals, clear quartz is good today — it purifies and orders; amethyst can help, which calms the mind; or moonstone, which supports this more sensitive, undulating state. Today is not about performance. It's about noticing: even confusion is part of consciousness. And if you don't reject it but hold it, you no longer fall apart in it!
A hug ?
