The Wanderer
17. The Wanderer
Fire on Amoghasiddhi’s Mountain
The hexagram depicts Amitabha’s all-discerning light shining brightly atop Amoghasiddhi’s mountain of resilient protective stance of reaching the highest peak of enlightened spiritual perfection—the all-accomplishing radiant hue of perfected wisdomocity. The adept has wandered aimlessly for endless kalpas amidst dark and strange vistas of endless ignorance and dissatisfaction; Amitabha’s fire now breaks-through the disparaging mist and dissolves away the inability to discern the right path of ascending Amoghasiddhi’s mount of noble freedom.

Devotion
16. Devotion
Ratnasambhava’s Reverent Devotion
In this hexagram the Primordial Qi-energies (the inner yogic-heat) meet up directly with the Tri-Ratna-field of Ratnasambhava that reverences the three-fold Dharmatic-element in sentient beings. It is through this heightened devotion that whatever is willed can be supernally accomplished in the Unborn.

Rectitude
15. Rectitude
Amoghasiddhi Acts
This hexagram is ruled by Amoghasiddhi who is the primordial-agent of Right Karmic Action. Old karma goes into remission and is transformed into All-Accomplishing Wisdom. The Noble One now weighs all things and balances them with a spirit of rectitude that emanates from an equitable position within the Unborn. The true meaning of modesty is when one always follows-through with an impeccable vision fixated on immutable truths.

Predomination
14. Predomination
Vairochana Dominant
This hexagram represents Abitabha’s white flame shining brightly in the translucent dark sky of Vairochana’s heaven. It’s a time of immense transcendent power and resilient clarity of primordial principles. Hence being responsive to this vibrant flame supreme success is won.
True Communion
13. True Communion
Amitabha’s Hearth
The fire of True Spiritual Communion rests in no-thing or in ordinary channels. The mark of the puthujjana is mediocrity. The true mark of the Ariya is spiritual nobility. The beloved of the Tathagatas are cradled in the warmth of Amitabha’s hearth. Mixing and assimilating with elements of what the world claims to be ‘ordinariness’ is a subtle trap into dark and heavy mentations of no good fortune. Exceptional breakthroughs from the diurnal wail of samsara are won from intercommunion with primordial agencies.

Withdrawal
12. Withdrawal
Ratnasambhava Withdraws
Everything is out of balance and evil hearts prevail. Like the tortoise that withdrawals into its shell, so must the eremitical hermit-monk withdraw from outside influences and take refuge in the stillpoint within. By turning inward and reassessing the situation from the Noble-Contemplative vantage-point, one realigns with the Light of Truth: Ratnasambhava Withdraws until equilibrium returns.

Tranquility
11. Tranquility
Vairochana’s Peace
This hexagram is perfectly balanced. Vairochana and Ratnasambhava are in equilibrium. The celestial and terrestrial are in ideal communion. It is only when the yang and yin forces are in harmony that all things are flowing unhindered: the bright principle yang and the dark principle yin are intermingled reflecting infinite peace and tranquility.
Abundance
10. Abundance
Amitabha Rising
The Light of Spiritual Brilliance overflows in abundance. This is Amitabha rising and his Padma-field reflects infinite Bodhi-emissions emanating from the Mind of all Tathagatas. This is the time to allow your Noble-Virtue to shine throughout this present saha world and worlds beyond. Amitabha’s symbol of ‘Fire’ represents unhindered illumination and this illumination is now meant to be employed.
Thunderbolt
9. Thunderbolt
Thunderbolt
Primal forces are afoot to shake one out of complacency and fully awaken to the issue at hand. The hexagram indicates that this primal-qi shock therapy is what is needed to pull one out of the druthers into the direct and immediate-realization of acting on what is required: in the middle, one yang is depicted below two yins, highlighting the manifestation of movement within stillness. All the myriad acts are reflective of one supernal-implosion, while at the same time never jettisoning proper introspection.
Synchroneity
8. Synchroneity
Ratnasambhava Dominant
Ratnasambhava dominant is an auspicious sign that everything is now working in synchronous accord, a good omen for the spirit of equanimity. In order for this time to flow unhindered adherence to according with what is right and what is real is essential for the basis of true reality, this is known as upholding the flag of the Element of Truth. The basis here is Akshobhya’s primordial and Mirror-like-Wisdom that empowers one to discern that the Dharmadhatu is ever-present and permeates all.
