About the 2025 Super Harvest Moon

Rhythms and cycles of time

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, October’s full Harvest Moon will be the first of three supermoons in 2025. Rising low on the horizon, it will create a strikingly dramatic view against the Los Angeles skyline.

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, which occurred this year on Sept. 22nd. Traditionally, this moon rises around the same time for several nights, giving farmers extra light to finish their harvests.

One way to calm and focus the mind is mandalas

This year’s Harvest Moon is also a supermoon because it coincides with the moon’s perigee, or its closest approach to Earth. NASA notes it will appear about 30% larger and 14% brighter than an average full moon.

The next two supermoons of 2025 are the Beaver Moon on Nov. 5th and the Cold Moon on Dec. 4th.

Where to watch the supermoon in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is expected to have clear skies tonight, making it an ideal spot to see the supermoon. It reaches peak brightness at 8:47 pm PST on October 6th, though it will appear full for several days. The Year's First Supermoon Rises Over L.A.

The significance of the moon in Buddhism

.

This is the time of mooncakes and the traditional Sabbath Day or uposatha. That means it's the best time to observe the "fasting day," which means not eating before daylight or after noon. This is part of observing the Eight Precepts, an ancient tradition the Buddha praised as something worth continuing.

How do Buddhists observe the uposatha service?

(Buddhism Reflections) Uposatha days hold a special significance on the Buddhist calendar, particularly in the Theravada tradition. These weekly observance days are aligned with the phases of the moon, including the full moon, new moon, and two quarter moons.

Uposatha (shrine hall), Buddhapadipa Temple

During these times, both lay Buddhists and monastics engage in various practices that enhance their spiritual journeys. On the one hand, lay practitioners often take on additional precepts, dedicating themselves to deeper spiritual activities and community involvement.

Monastics, on the other hand, focus on reflection and purification, reciting the Patimokkha ("Path to Moksha"), a summary of the major rules of the Monastic Code of Discipline, which is a vital aspect of their monastic life.

The uposatha service is not just about individual practice; it also fosters a sense of community as laypeople gather at monasteries to support monks and nuns through food preparation and participation in rituals (pujas).

This day is steeped in tradition and serves as a reminder of the commitment to the Dhamma or Teachings of the historical Buddha.

The observance of uposatha varies slightly among different sects and countries, adding a unique flavor to this rich tradition.

Let's delve into the practices and significance of uposatha days in Buddhism and discover how they contribute to spiritual growth and community bonding. #BuddhaTeachings #Buddhism #Mindfulness

The Dalai Lama and Tibetan wisdom

Tibet, the path to Wisdom | SLICE | full documentary

Why do Tibetan monastics wear red robes?

(SLICE) TIBET. Ani Rigsang has chosen a nomadic lifestyle in the land of white clouds.

The Buddhist nun felt confined in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, so today she has taken to the road to reconnect with her country’s spiritual traditions, which are now threatened by rapid modernization and the reinforcement of Chinese control over the region.

From snowy mountains to green valleys, from nunnery to nunnery, this documentary accompanies Ani Rigsang as she makes her way through Tibet.

A moving testimony that brings together age-old traditions and legends, this film takes us through stunning landscapes, revealing to us a contrasting Tibet, jostled by modernization and the upheavals of its holy geography.

Mysterious TikToks; 3i/ATLAS object

What is this space object, a UFO or comet?

3i/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar object (comet? [16][17]) discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile, on July 1, 2025.

When it was discovered, it was entering the inner Solar System at a distance of 4.5 AU (astronomical unites, 420 million miles or 670 million kms) from the sun.

The object follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the sun with a very fast hyperbolic excess velocity of 36 mi/s (58 km/s) relative to the sun [5][d].

3I/ATLAS will not come closer than 1.8 AU (170 million miles or 270 million kms) to Earth, so it poses no threat [18].

on Earth is result of life with Neil DeGrasse Tyson

It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through the Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua (discovered in Oct. 2017) and 2I/Borisov (discovered in Aug. 2019) [19], hence the prefix "3i." More
