Kalachakra

I am feeling very defeated tonight. Very low. I am sending out a wish for a positive breakthrough. My hope is that my positive thoughts are just one small ping that sends out ripples and others benefit as well. To this end I am posting an image of a sand mandala of the Kalachakra. The Dalai Lama was quoted as saying about the Kalachakra initiation ceremony: "It is a way of planting a seed, and the seed will have karmic effect. One doesn't need to be present at the Kalachakra ceremony in order to receive its benefits." While my posting is not an initiation or empowerment ceremony, I think sending some good energy into the world is, well, good.
