Thought At Sunrise: Thought at Sunrise 195

9th July

The auspicious full moon day in the month of Ashad;
today is Gurupurnima.
Today is the day of movement from darkness to light.

Acharya Bhikshu did not verbalize the sutra

Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya;

he transformed darkness into light with his spiritual prowess.

Shedding of accumulated karmas, and exercising control over the mind, body and speech take you on the path leading to light.

Acharya Bhikshu followed this path.
Around him divine light began to shine.
In other words, Terapantha came into existence.
