"Today evening is the autumn equinox, in the south it's the spring equinox and a full moon on Thursday occurring within 6 hours of each other. The equinox is on Wednesday, 22nd at 8:06PM PDT and the full moon is on Thursday, 23rd at 2:17AM.
As some of you might have already heard or known that this day (September 23rd, 2010) is called THRÜ – “Purification Day” but also imputed as Blessed Rainy Day. In the evening or tonight before we go to sleep, we should place a bucket or bowl of water outside, either on the balcony, verandah, patio, window sill, yard or backyard, etc. On this night a special star, an emanation of Buddha Gangchentsho, aka Chenzerik or Avalokiteshvara appears in the sky. The name of this star is Karma Rekhey.
The extraordinary aspiration of this emanation is: “Anyone who connects with me may their sicknesses, misfortunes, sorrow, suffering, hindrances, obstacles, karma, negativities, afflictive emotions, obscurations and defilements be purified without any remainders.”
Although, I was told that it is not visible in the western hemisphere but disregard it because wisdom compassion is all pervasive. So the water you set outside is blessed with this star's reflection appearing in it. Then early morning before the break of dawn, and remember not to mix this blessed holy water with hot water, you shower and purify yourself. Also you can share this water with your friends and families. Please pass this on to your friends and families. So Happy Thrü -Purification Day and Full Moon and Autumn Equinox!"
May all sentient beings benefit!
