The Golden Mountain
Steadfastness and resilience are visible, as is seen the towering golden mountain.
- should be grasped mentally
The deceiver demon dwelling at the outer gate in the west, the great leader of false views, said: "If the fire of desire burns, oneself is burnt."

Na Ah, or “The Golden Mountain,” prophecies a future built on stability and wealth. You will achieve steady success in all matters of your life, from personal relationships to material possessions. Your faithful, hardworking nature is being rewarded with the stability that you crave. Although the mountain does not rattle the Earth most days, it still inspires awe with its lofty heights. Just like the mountain, your achievements will soar and inspire admiration in the hearts of others. Not only will you reach new heights, but the foundations of your success will be so strong that no enemies, human or otherwise, can knock you down from your position. In fact, you will barely feel their blows. They will be as insignificant as the pitter-patter of a goat’s feet are to a mountain’s back. You are above such petty concerns now, you only need to think about enjoying your success and continuing whatever it is that you were doing that laid such strong foundations in the first place.
If you are finding yourself unhappy in this time, despite such fortuitous omens, perhaps it is time to reexamine your own attitudes around success that may be bringing you more misery than happiness. If your only conception of success comes with a rapid ascent and whirlwind acclaim, then the steadiness of the mountain may bore you or make you wish for other, better things. However, the success promised by The Golden Mountain is more long-lasting than any rapid rise to fame which can be easily undermined. If you are miserable even when surrounded by objectively good things, perhaps it is time to use this opportunity to learn patience. Achieving the success promised here does not mean you have peaked completely in life, you can still achieve your goals that seem distant with some patience and hard work. Mountains seem stationary, but they are constantly turning with the globe and the shifting of the tectonic plates. You will get everything that you want eventually, so why not enjoy the considerable happiness that you have now?
Even in your time of good fortune, do not neglect the spiritual rituals that honor the deities and forces that have brought you this success. Continue meditating, praying, and tending to sacred images. Pay special attention to Buddhas from the Vajra-family, which rules the attributes of stability and divine patience.
