Our Astrologer

Venerable Konchok is one of the lineage-holders of Tibetan astrology that originated from Lord Manjushri. For ten years, since the age of 13, he learnt and practised this ancient art and science from Geshe Jayang Gyatso, a great astrologist in Tibet and China. He then went on to spend sixteen years completing his geshe degree in Sera Je Monastery and four years in Gyurme Tantric University. He is awaiting for his final geshe debate grading examination.

What has astrology to do with the Buddhadharma?

Michael Eirewine, a world renowned astrologist and a Buddhist, wrote in his book 'Astrology of Tibet'

"Astrology is one of the limbs of the yoga, but not the root. The Dharma teachings of Buddha are the root.

My point here is that until such time as we can develop full awareness, astrology can be useful to us on a relative basis in guiding us through life's obstacles. In other words, in the confused worldd we often find ourselves in, bewildered by our own ignorance of what is real, and stumbling around, astrology and the other divinatory practices can help to point the way through the confusion to greater clarity. Beyond that, as I understand it, astrology has no particular merit.

Astrology is one of the relative truths, but not the absolute truth. This explanation made immediate sense to me and is typical of the kind of wisdom I have come to expect from Tibetan Dharma teachers.
