General Characteristics of a Pig

The Pig is the darling of the zodiac. He is much loved for his honest, kind and forgiving nature. Not one for confrontation, the Pig believes in harmony and maintaining the peace. He is the ideal idealist and dislikes anything which causes conflict or division, such as schism. A lover, not a fighter, the Pig will do anything to keep the peace. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone more helpful or giving than a Pig.

A connoisseur of fine things, the Pig also enjoys the finer things in life. He’s in his element when he’s out having a good meal, drinking great wine, surrounded by a large group of friends. His self-indulgence could very well be his biggest weakness. Fortunately for the Pig, he finds it easy to attract wealth so he can upkeep himself and his family to the standard that they have become accustomed to.

Generous, sincere and warm, the Pig is well-liked wherever he goes. His friendship is also treasured because people know that the Pig will always be completely honest in his opinions and feedback.

 

 

Strengths

Those born in the year of the Pig are among the most amenable signs. One of the best qualities about the Pig is his loyalty. He remains committed for life to his friends and his principles, and would never do anything dishonest.

Pigs can be practical, logical and down to earth. This may make people think that they are cool and reserved, and even a touch arrogant, because they don’t usually show emotion openly. However, despite whatever callousness they may display in their actions, their hardiness is also a great strength – they are very rarely offended and will single-mindedly, steadily push their way forward to achieve what they need to.

Unlike the traditional views of Pigs that they are lazy, those born under the sign of the Pig are very hardworking. The resilient, strong Pig works hard and often plays harder.

 

Weaknesses

The Pig’s generosity of heart and wallet is often taken advantage of. It is so easy to exploit him because he simply doesn’t have a suspicious bone in his body. This gullible and naïve nature makes him all the more endearing though and his friends will loyally try to protect him the best they can.

However, the Pig can be stubborn and loyal to the wrong people. His eternal optimism and belief in the good of people will likely bring his downfall. Even after his trust has been proven to be mistaken, he will often not admit that his judgment of character was wrong and risk getting conned again! One of the Pig’s main problems is his soft heart which can make him become a doormat. He is always obliging and finds it next to impossible to say “no”.

The Pig can be complacent and not open to change. These Pigs prefer to stick to a known routine, preferably one that isn’t too active, demand too much of him or require for him to give up the little luxuries of life.

 

Career and Working Life

Job opportunities and money will seem like they drop from the sky for the fortunate Pig. He is suited for a broad range of careers and may gravitate to those sectors which appeal to his love for luxury. The Pig may enjoy work in hospitality industries, or with specialist wines, gourmet restaurants, antiques, arts etc. However, although he likes these extravagances, he is a hard worker and will do what is required to do his job well.

In contrast to the self-indulgent opulence the Pig enjoys, the Pig is also very generous at heart and is attracted to social or charity work. He works best when the work is done for others or when he has the opportunity to help someone better their life. With his social and attractive qualities, he is excellent at fund-raising. The altruistic Pig strongly advocates humanitarian causes as he is most happy to be of service.

He works well with people thus is great as part of a team. Somehow, people will always help the Pig, so that he will be able to achieve whatever he wishes for.

 

Love and Relationships

 

Pigs are loving and faithful to their partners, and caring and considerate towards those they love. Whether it is romance or familial, the Pig treasures real friendship most of all.

The Pig, both male and female, will have no lack of suitors even though the male Pig is particularly relaxed about chasing conquests. If the ladies wish to step up the pace, they will need to pursue him and make the first move instead!

In love, as in other relationships, the Pigs are also naïve and can often succumb to the wrong person. His easy-going nature could very well mean that he is taken advantage of, even by the people closest to him. However, if the Pig meets the right one, he will adore his partner and pull out all stops to pamper her.

 

Finances

The Pig has no problems dealing with any matters related to finance or business. He is able to plan for his own future as well as bear all necessary financial responsibilities, especially for his family or his own business. Security and material success comes easily to the Pig for he is diligent and driven, and he avoids disharmony and stays clear of conflicts.

The Pig has to be careful of his indulgences though. If he is not good at managing his finances and chooses luxury buys over realistic budgets, the Pig may lose all his money quite quickly.

 

Social Life

Cheerful, caring and warm, the Pig makes friends easily and his friendships last for a long time. He is dependable and always sought for help because you can always count on him. Not only is he willing to give you the shirt off his back if you’re in trouble, he is always accommodating to friends who need his help.

He is also very forgiving and prefers not to be confrontational. He would rather give in to keep the peace than rock the boat, even if it means he doesn’t get what is due to him. He has a good sense of humour, enjoys entertaining and pleasing others, which again makes him a popular character amongst others.

 

Life Lessons

 

The Pig needs to learn to trust the right people who can help to look after his interests. He also needs to stand up for himself and say “No” to protect his own interests. It’s not that the Pig agrees because he doesn’t want to look bad. The Pig genuinely wants to help but more often than not, he is not able to. If he could restrain his enthusiasm to a more realistic and practical level, then he will end up not disappointing others.

The Pig also has to watch his propensity for comfort and luxury. If his desire for comfort overwhelms him, people will start to see him in a different light and friends may drift away. He needs to know when to put on the brakes when he is on a self-indulgent spree, otherwise he can finish his resources quickly. Despite his luck with money, if he’s not careful, the luck (and money) will run out.

 

 

COMPATIBILITY

Who will the Pig roll in the mud with?

The Pig is a good ally with the Rabbit and the Sheep. These three have a gentle, caring and sympathetic energy which complement each other. The Sheep and Pig are delightfully mellow together and support each other equally. The Sheep is the slightly more assertive of the two and will protect and guide the naïve Pig to safe pastures; while the cheerful Pig will uplift the worrisome, bleating Sheep.

The best out of both worlds are achieved with the Rabbit and Pig combination. The Rabbit has the smarts out of these two and is happy to orchestrate beneficial situations from the background while the Pig is happy to be upfront.

The Pig is also good mates with the Rat, appreciating the Rat’s instinctive awareness and self-sustaining survival skills. Other animals the Pig gets on with are the Tiger and the Dragon, both dynamic personalities who will bring the best out of the Pig. Roosters and Pigs get on quite well as neither gets offended by the other and are both have happy, lively dispositions.

 

Who will the Pig oink at?

 

The Snake is the biggest enemy of the Pig. It is said that the Pig is no match for the powerful Snake who will just chew him up and spit him out without a second thought. If they have to work together, it is best to use trustworthy friends to mediate between them.

The Pig also may clash with the Monkey because of differences in attitude. The Monkey’s principles, or rather the lack of them, may appall the straightforward Pig. Likewise, the Pig’s fondness for self-indulgence will turn off the astute, shrewd Monkey.

 

How to work with a Pig

You can use the Pig’s attachments to make him do what you want. Give him the right incentives that you know he wants and he will follow your lead. While he can work very hard, you must also know how to pace the Pig and allow him time to play. Appease his want for pleasurable things. If you need to work with him, meetings would probably be best held over a sumptuous dinner; or get on his good side with a pretty little gift.

Look after the Pig and make sure he is protected from people who will take advantage of him. If you ensure his wellbeing, you can be sure that the Pig will reward you amply with an honest, loyal and straightforward friendship that is hard to come by.

    One of my sons’ horoscope is pig. What is mentioned above could be some way or another accurate of his character. However, I strongly believe that whatever qualities that are not positive can be corrected by learning and practising the holy Dharma.

    The Pig’s characteristics are interesting and like other animal signs it has its strengths and weaknesses. It is good knowledge to read and understand the general characteristics of all the animal signs and it will be a good topic for starting a conversation with new acquaintances.

  4. JP on Jun 21, 2012 at 3:55 pm

    Wow! This is so accurate! I’ve never come across any horoscope as accurate as this!!! I’m a piggie too. I can relate to what’s written. It’s wonderful to read this as it is a genereal guide to help me communicate with others more effectively.

    Communication is very important, I feel. It is our responsibility, out of compassion, to communicate effectively. Many problems arise from poor communication and in some cases, no communication.

    Your Holiness, just finished the first reading of Gurus for Hire, Enlightenment for Sale, just a brilliant title like the clarity and
    the outstanding exposition of your classes and text. Now its my everyday sadhana – the TsonKhapa Guru Yoga, and will remain over my
    bed and living room. I have LOTS of things to say, and maybe they are ALL useless, if not senseless. I think I have already told you I ‘met tibetan Dharma’ through Lama Gangchen in Rio de Janeiro.
    Not wanting or knowing how to ‘proceed alone’ – as ever, or before,-
    I tried to follow the Gangcheanettes from ‘Pax Drala’ Dharma Center, Rio, the nearest then. Oh waw! Gangchen styled an english lesbian girl as Lama Carolinne (Caroline Gammon), and what this Lama taught or the girls from Pax Drala understood…she taught, ALL under Shakyamunis incomparable Dharma name…., was REALLY hard to chew.
    I tryied for almost 5 years to follow, but then understood they just wanted girl friends, the younger the better, and all else
    was just supposed to diverse ‘the uninitiated’. Comparing what I lived under those crazy loose bitches, and your instructions and problems for Dharma Centers in Asia, let me tell you, Asia is a neat decent place, that with ‘few adjustments’ can easily do the ‘job’ of
    lightening our somber pit of a planet.
    Cannot thank you enough! Long live Kechara House!
    Sicerely from Brazil.

    Touching indeed reading this blog again tells us more than that. Not an easy task after-all Taylong Ly and Sayeng had raised using her heart, time, patience, foresight, intuition to protect Caryl. She had made sure Carly never went hungry and never felt afraid and lonely. Taylong Ly and Sayeng were kind, loving, and caring so much so that Caryl had them deep in his heart. Looking at those beautiful photos say all.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing Caryl’s story with us.

    Pope Leo X was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States. Was the son of Lorenzo de’ Medici, best known for his wasteful habits, lecherous activities, and hedonistic quote. He was crowned Pope at the age of 37, honored as a doctor of the Church and his writings. Pope Leo X was a very powerful Pope during a time when the Catholic Church was at its height in power. During his reign, he advanced the city to highly prominent status in Europe through his advocacy for the arts and education. He was the first of four Medici popes. Upon his ascension, Leo X behaved as most Medici leaders before him by working arduously towards the advancement of his family and becoming a generous benefactor of the arts. Interesting biography of a Pope known for his lavish spending, misused funds and abused his power . Tibetan leadership based in Dharamsala, North India has similarity to the Pope’s reign. The Tibetan leadership has cause many sufferings, disharmony within their own people. All can be seen in the Dorje Shugden and Karmapa controversies as well. Many Tibetans are speaking up and it has since changed for a better welfare.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing.

    As we grow older and time passes we realize the spirituality within ourselves . When we can calm down our mind, delve inside us, and become aware of the pure consciousness and surrounding, we look beyond and have connection with the higher being within us. We have to grow from the inside out which involves recognising and accepting our higher potential. Amongst all the Dharma Protectors, Dorje Shugden has the strongest and closest affinity with us. Dorje Shugden an enlightened Dharma Protector helps us to develop our skills, wisdom and great compassion, and clearing all our obstacles . Dorje Shugden will help evryone regardless of race and faith. Its very beneficial to rely on the practice in various aspects of life. We are very fortunate to learn and practice this efficacious Dorje Shugden’s practice. All thanks to our teacher’s kindness and brightening up our day and make us feel ready to take on anything.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Stella for this sharing.

    In the last six decades the Tibatan leadership having their own agenda had not been taking interest of their own people. Many people had suffered and long overdue for their religious freedom. Having much evidence that they were making use of religion controlling their people . People were discriminated, left aside ,denied services to schools, hospitals and so forth just because they pray to an unapproved deity Dorje Shugden. They are labelled as anti-Tibetan and even as Chinese spies.
    The latest Modern Diplomacy publication covering the history and current issues of Tibet authored by Dr Andrea Galli tells the truthful insight into an exiled Tibetan leadership. The key functions of diplomacy incorporate a varied number of points, and has established a track record of providing accurate information in a world. Through extensive investigation and analysis Modern Diplomacy published the article for readers to understand of the situation happening within the Tibetan. Hopefully more people will get to read this article to understand better.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing Dr Galli’s article with us.

    In the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual tradition, whatever pujas or fire pujas are a proven remedy for most of life’s troubles. Fire pujas are very effective for protection, removing negatives energies, to increase merits, lifespan, health, wisdom and spiritual wealth. And in such cases it could turn negative circumstances around. They can be used as relics, to be inserted into statues and stupas, and even worn in a locket. It also could be scattered in the garden, backyard or using it to bless the land. Amongst all pujas, fire pujas are among the most powerful within Tibetan Buddhism. They are extremely potent for removing obstacles for the practitioner to gain accomplishments on the path to enlightenment. For the deceased, the fire pujas is an excellent method of purifying negative karma and attaining higher rebirth. Wow…very detailed post for readers to understand about this fire puja. We are so fortunate to have this fire pujas at kechara Bentong done by monks. The fire pujas are performed with special ingredients and special mandalas were set up. In different traditions, the all the ingredients varies.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing .

    Interesting reading this blog. Yes…its always a case old antique at times comes with something else. Even when given or buying antique statues one got to be very careful. To buy one from genuine buyer on the safe side . An antique Buddha statue from Cambodia given by a relative . Hecelus Tan first sight was uncomfortable with it as later came with nightmare . That’s bad paranormal experience for him. The head of that statue coincidentally broke when Hecelus’s parents decided to bring it back to the antique shop.
    Wow… interesting .

    Amitayus, is the primary Buddha of Pure Land Buddhism. In Vajrayana Buddhism, it is known for his longevity, discernment, pure perception, purification of aggregates, and deep awareness of emptiness . The greatest obstacles to the fulfilment of our wish to experience pure happiness are death and ignorance. It is written in the Buddhist sutras that by chanting the Amitayus Mantra, one increases one’s lifespan, acquires good fortune and wisdom, avoids untimely or accidental death, removes all negative karma, and accomplishes non-death or is reborn the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. With correct visualisation and recitation of the mantras its very beneficial for us.

    Astro Wah Lai Toi is a Cantonese Video on demand owned and operated by Astro in partnership with Hong Kong’s TVB.
    Even though it’s old post yet its good to watch the video posted. Pastor Chia had an interviewed on a paranormal program on Astro Wah Lai Toi called Supernatural Investigations. Sound interesting. Well I do believe in the existence of spirits some may not believe. Pastor Chia explained the reasons why we may encounter spirits. Some people are more likely than others to report vivid experiences of spirits. Sensing the presence of spirits across cultures and faiths is central to many of the religions that have shaped human history. Many people of faith reported having encounter it but are poorly understood.

    Markam County locates in the boundary of Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces and east of Qamdo Prefecture of Tibet. Markam County makes it illegal to ban Dorje Shugden , protecting the practice and preserving it for future generations. It’s a wonderful news for many. Since the unethical ban against Dorje Shugden, by the Tibetan leadership in exile , many people had suffered. China allows religious freedom in Tibet, protects the Dorje Shugden practice and even gives religious freedom to all faiths. They want peace and harmony within their people, in the country. The Tibetan government in exile should not interfere with religion at all. Its more than 60 years now, is time for the Tibetan government to lift the ban on Dorje Shugden’s practice even though HH Dalai Lama said we can practice Dorje Shugden.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this great news, hoping more and more county allow religious freedom.

    Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The choice each of every one of us choose includes freedom to change our religion, belief and freedom. There shouldn’t be a law to impose their beliefs on others. Every one of us has the right to profess and to practice his or her religion without undue interference. Religious freedom is very important as this gives us the right to be ourselves, and this helps to work together after maintaining peace the country. It allows different faiths and beliefs to flourish. After worshipping Dorje Shugden for decades, HH the 14th Dalai Lama suddenly imposed a prohibition more than 400 year old practice. He once did rely on this practice so During the height of the banning of Dorje Shugden’s practice , many practitioners who practice Dorje Shugden were ignored, discriminated and rejected within their own exiled community. Many were forced to give up on the practice on Dorje Shugden even though there are so many concrete evidence of an imposed ban. They were forced to wear an identity badge to distinguish their identities from those Dorje Shugden propitiating monks. Many Dorje Shugden practitioners had suffered because of the ban, families , friends were torn apart services denied and so forth. To live in harmony with others, we should overcoming the differences and disagreements in religion and faith of others. May this Dorje Shugde controversy be over soon .

Knowledge and appreciation of our spiritual lineage is important as it shapes our identity and empowers our ability, ensuring the continuity of the true dharma.

    Dorje Shugden the Dharma Protector is a fully enlightened Buddha in the form of a protector deity. Relying on Dorje Shugden can help us achieve many benefits including the clearing of obstacles, purification of negative karma, gathering of resources and fulfilment of wishes. The Dharma Protector arose to protect Lama Tsongkhapa’s sacred lineage of teachings and who had manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. A powerful Protector who is also an emanation of Manjushri, a wisdom bestowing Buddha. Its wonderful with these graphic novel to inspire more and more people getting to know and understand Dorje Shugden better.
    The graphic novel of Dorje Shugden, tells us real accounts of 10 people who had received the blessings and protection of Dorje Shugden. All thanks to our Guru Tsem Rinpoche for bringing this practice to Malaysia for us.
    Thank you writers team for sharing this article .

    Generosity is a core practice of Buddhism, and one of the traditional expressions of this is through offerings to the Sangha. Making offerings is a practice for accumulating positive potential and for purifying clinging and miserliness. We must give generously and sacrificially, with the right motivation of bodhicitta, we create unbelievable merit. Sangha are living in a high number of vows and are unbelievably powerful objects. Reading this blog and looking at those beautiful pictures had me understand better what to offer to those Sanghas. Having the opportunity to make some offerings to the Sanghas will be on my list when visiting them in June.
    Thank you Rinpoche, for sharing this post.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    6 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
