The Power of Ten Million Day: Transforming Life with Buddhist wisdom

According to Tibetan culture, there are only four such special days each year, when the moon’s movement gives the universe an extra dose of energy. It is believed that during these times, the power and impact of thoughts and actions are multiplied, acting with ten million times the force. The smallest good thoughts, intentions and wishes can work wonders, while the negative… Well, that’s best left for another day.

Although Full and New Moon days are also full of energy, with hundreds of times the intensity, these ten million times days are real gifts, when everything we do or think has a huge impact. Believing this reminds us of the tremendous power that resides within us and in our thoughts.

Turning our gaze to the East, we may wonder what is lacking in modern Western societies. On reflection, this sense of lack points to a loss of values. Despite technological and scientific progress, people in Western societies often lose touch with nature, simplicity and essential values. In contrast, in Eastern cultures, traditions and festivals are closely entwined in people’s daily lives, permeating the way they think and live.

Festivals should not only be about appearances, but also about inner renewal, respect for the soul and a deeper understanding of the wonders of the world. This is the secret that truly promises a rich and fulfilling life. Throughout history, festivals, whether they are quiet meditations, gratitude ceremonies or simply gatherings, have always served to provide a fixed point, a kind of framework for time and human life cycles. They also remind us that it’s time to slow down. Let’s take time for ourselves, step out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and find our inner peace.

Buddhism as a religion or philosophy attributes our suffering to our desires. The fact of suffering is that we are impermanent and cannot create perfection because there is always something better, more beautiful, more perfect. If we understand that the causes of our suffering are our excessive desires and materialism, then by renouncing them we can eliminate our suffering. After all, everyone seeks happiness in one way or another, but we often approach it from the wrong direction. Do not expect happiness from the outside, because it is found within us; true contentment and joy come from within.

On Ten Million Multiplier Days, according to Buddhist teachings, you can receive special energetic support from the universe to make it easier to let go of anything that no longer serves your development. And when these days arrive, every good intention and action you take will literally have a millionfold effect. In this spirit, you can open a new chapter in your life. You can form new habits, weave new plans and incorporate new values into your lifestyle. Once this is in place, you can approach everyday life with renewed vigor.

Now all you have to do is mark these special days in your calendar. Then prepare yourself on a spiritual level and take the opportunity to accumulate merit.

Creation comes from the power of your mind and the power of action. By filling your mind with positive, forward-moving thoughts and turning them into action, you are already building the life of your dreams, step by step. But it’s important to let go of those old, limiting habits and thoughts that no longer support your growth. We choose who and what we wish to connect with in our earthly existence.

• Be kind to others.
• Talk about yourself and your situation with love.
• Imagine your ideal life.
• Be grateful for all you have.
• Choose positive emotions: love, laugh, be happy.
• Spend time with those who bring joy to each other.
• Engage in as many compassionate, loving and helpful activities as possible.
• Don’t let anyone or anything upset you.
• If you have a bad thought, overcome it and look at it with indifferent calm.
• Repeat or chant mantras as they also have amplified power.
• Meditate to purify the mind and free yourself from excessive conformity.
• Practice mindfulness to enjoy the present moment even more.
• Avoid harmful habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol and eating sugary foods on this day.

Tibetans believe that these special Buddha days offer us a unique opportunity. That’s because the effect of each of our good deeds and wise thoughts is magnified many times over. Even those of us who do not live according to the rules of Buddhism can entertain the idea that these powerful days, as their name suggests, are more saturated with energy and therefore different from ordinary days.

If we look at it in this light, we can receive a significant boost of energy to become more mindful, even more so than the day before. We’ll be able to bring new elements and new habits into our way of life according to our own level of consciousness and our own needs. Among other things, this means that we can make great strides in navigating our own complicated inner world full of suffering and desires. Do anything you want with ten million times more power.
