YELLOW RIBBON

I'm comin' home, I've done my time

Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine

If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free

Then you'll know just what to doIf you still want me

If you still want me

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree...

Blast from the past...was invited to Tony Orlando's One night only performance at the Singapore Indoor Stadium...so many extra tickets but no takers? why?? Tony who my colleagues asked...good heavens!..Am i that old? hahaha...Boss said you got to be kidding me...he must have sung at Raffles Hotel in 1874! lol

Well they all missed out on a real moving concert when Tony turned it into a mini Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath night and rocked the crowds wild....Imagine... all those old timers jamming their heads and swinging their arms in the air...what mayhem...ahaha Knock 3 times for a groovy kind of love! Toni Wine..the original singer/songwriter of "Groovy Kind of Love", Candida and the voice behind Sugar Sugar brought the house down ...timeless songs that just rock u with so much warmth and sentimentalism...

The yellow ribbon project...unlocking the 2nd prison...social stigmas and the like...the ex offender has got to face society again and mend the broken glass...psychological prison far worse than being in the actual one...

THE NORTH FACE

Sagarmatha..Mount Everest ...

Sherpas ascending into the distant horizon

A million fluttering flags carries blessings in the wind

Goddess of nature, mother of the universe

A thousand birds flapping their golden wings

Respectfully i bow down and at the very summit

Music and dancing of infinite magical nets unfolds

Assemblies of daikinis within the great sphere

Tremble and the brilliant essence of peace emanates

Hook me to your ever blazing heart

At the Cholapass the white glacier bounds all under oath..

..everest base camp ..experience it in all her grandeur.

I still have my mountain to climb...still Unsurmountable ..trip of a lifetime..can i make it to the milky way to see the lights are fading? always ending in tragic results...am out of oxygen..climb every mountain search high and low...when will it ever end..highest goals and ideals...the pinnacles of success...THE symbol of achievement..meet me at the top of the mountain..yoodle le hihoo...
chiLL out..have an ice cold Everest Beer..

cute lil dirty kidd

A bumpy road lies ahead...

The Best Things In Life R FREE..

An article today in The Sunday Times about Miss Posh Nosh having to be frugal for a week with no car no aircon..no dining @ fine restaurants ..luxuries most Singaporeans are used to..for others its just no sweat....its just a matter of getting accustomed to change...the only constant thing is change..having fireflies next to you when you sleep IS a nice change..time to reflect...miss those magical flying glowthings...

Free lessons in humility...the best gift from this trip to Nepal..one the poorest countries in the world..but so much richness in the heart and soul of it all..the average worker takes home only approx 2500 to 5000 RS which converts to about US$50 to US$100 per month..not much when compared to the rest of the world but they get by with lots of love in their hearts..I'm in paradise..there's just a little more sunlight in the heart...a genuine gift to kids on the streets..just a mere 50 rupees..not much by standards but to them it means alot..in exchange for the most wonderful smile?..priceless..

**little brother getting a piggyback after skool@ Pokhara..

**Even the dogs R happy here @Pokhara

Pokhara. Images of a perfectly serene Phewa Tal starts to form in my mind...Phewa Tal, Nepal's 2nd largest lake...Pokhara ..a beautiful mini town with literally hundreds of shops overflowing with buddhist ritual items, nepali souvenirs, newari puppets, huge scary masks, crystals of all shapes and sizes, mantras of all kinds filled the air..Mention Pokhara and trekkers would instantly think of the famous Annapurna Circuit Trek..I was invited to stay for 3 days in a little village in Pokhara by nuns from Khachoe Ghakyil Ling nunnery.. who also became my good pals in Kathmandu and made sure I had the best of everything during my stay..They had the whole week off and took the opportunity to showcase their little tibetan exile community (what they call refugee camp) ..We started off bright and early ..Ani P came to my room @ Shambhala Guesthouse at 7am and dragged me off my bed.."Wake Up! Wake Up!"..Packed clothes for 3 days and off we went...took a taxi to the bus station and we had a nice little rickety 6 hr ride to the final destination..amazing view of the surrounding hills..stopped midway and had Daal Bhaat (typical nepali staple food of rice & lentil soup) for lunch..forgot to mention that the bus driver seemed to be gearing up for the upcoming F1 race ...tho this race track had deep ravines on the other side and every sharp turn could send us plummeting down God knows how many metres...by the end of the ride our brains jiggled too much n turned to putty..just wanted to lie down and sleep it off..Dragged our feets and our bags across an equally rickety wooden bridge with roaring rapids below...plonked everything down @ her dad's home and his rhythmic chants of Om Mani Padme Hung from outside soon lulled me into deep sleep....he never stops his recitations and I guessed that he must have passed the 1 million mark by now...am inspired to step up in my own "homework" & practise..

‘By reciting one hundred million Mani, all the myriad living organisms in your body will be blessed by Avalokiteshvara ( Guanyin ), and when you die even the smoke from the cremation of your corpse will have the power to protect whoever inhales it from rebirth in the lower realms’ …. Karandaryuha Sutra

* rented a boat for 250 Rs (S$5)..good for 1 hr of rowing..@ Pokhara Lakeside and had the most wonderful time ..am at the front of the boat..we alternated between Resham Firiri..(a popular Nepali folk song)..and row row row your boat....it just gets funnier by the minute..

Resham Firiri Resham Firiri..Udeyara jounkee dandama bhanjyang

Resham firiri...Eknale banduk, dui nale banduk, mirgalai takeko.Mirgalai mailey takeko hoina mayalai daukeyko....~this song's about 2 ill fated lovers who are physically separated by mountains ..but remains united in love

JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE SOUL

Caught Journey to the centre of the earth today...can't be more exciting than the ultimate journey to the centre of the souL...powerful living light...holding our own personal universe together..a hidden treasure..just like we all are in a world within our own world...we've travelled too far away from our centre of stillness...it's been a long journey..can't wait to go home... still unlocking this century old mystery of Jules Verne..a masterful prophetic genius..always a classic..odysseys from the deepest depths of the ocean to the deepest depths of the earth..adventures like these never fail to inspire our imaginations and seize our minds..where is my dusty old paperback? fact not fiction..this movie would encourage more classic reading amongst the youngsters..

Brendan Fraser ..the goofy-cute leading volcanologist searches for his brother Max..who mysteriously disappeared while doing his fieldwork..and so they all embark on this exciting journey to retrace Max's steps according to his clues in his worn out logbook..Trevor (Brendan)...had a major breakthrough and it blasted him and his nephew along with the smashing mountain guide babe into the core of the earth..where ..flying snapping giant pirahnas...sea serpents..drooling T-Rex..giant snapping venus flytraps.. dominate this dangerous lost world..a crispy virtual roller coaster theme park ride..

thought the video segment was kinda cute ..imagined that Sean would morph into Super Mario anytime...jumping on those huge chunks of magnetic rocks..still impressive although we thought it was kinda dumb....the characters could have been more well developed but who's complaining...those pretty little blue glowbirds stole the show! A family movie mainly for kids...and the kids in all of us...those stunning 3D visual effects almost always an excuse for seeing it in the cinemas..and oh..that mean little snapping fishie that jumped right out of the water and grabbed his cellphone...So hilarious..getting a signal @ the core of the earth? C'mon! hahahaa...no extra popcorn points for plot or acting..

amongst us..this family friendly contemporary update scored 3 snapping pirahnas..minus the teeth..

Happy Ghosts..

*Can you spot the eerie face in the smoke?
7th lunar month in the Chinese Calendar..

when the gates of the underworld open for just one month once a year and all hell breaks loose...! Souls of the dead are set free to wander the earth... holiday time

Entertainment for the living and the dead..boundless movement in an imaginative mind......this is it..things people do to "bribe" the other side to give them more luck their bucket can hold..instead of focusing on the actual true meaning of this Ullambana Festival..In the Ullambana sutra, the compassionate one taught that anyone wishing to benefit their parents in both their past and present lives can make offerings to the Gems and dedicate the light, love +merits accumulated to their departed loved ones and all teachers of past lifetimes..But in retrospect, if it makes everyone happy..what the hell..hell hell..

Prayers, rites and rituals observed throughout the entire month...Our grandma used to draw up a list of protocols to follow: 1. Do not swim..the water ghosts will drag u under..2. "Do not step or kick the hell notes/offerings/ashes else the ghosts will get angry and follow u home!"...

3. Kids not allowed onto the streets after sundown else they get possessed....Superstitions, myths or pure fear of the unknown...Paper offerings, hell money, huge colourful incense, endless food ...all to appease the wandering souls "good brudders"...and the dearly departed..scenes like these replayed all around Singapore..We often wonder how the "Postal Service" works on the other side and if it is as efficient as it is here on earth..People believe that they have to satisfy the hunger pangs of "good brudders" in order to gain good luck all year round..Echoes of Getai abound..it literally means "Singing Stage"..where performers rush from stage to stage all across the island..lots of OTT performances and jarring hokkien songs..amusing local humour ..remember to leave the first VIP row to the "good brudders" else you'd find a mysterious footprint on yer A$$ ! Loud biddings ring on throughout the night..attracting huge crowds (visible + invisible)..auctions for "good luck" items at rediculously high prices..."black gold" (chucks of charcoal)..all snatched up before u can say BOO!

Can you handle a trip to the cemetry after midnight?...its a walk in the park..honda civic engines roared and broke the silence...paper money fluttered in the wind.. ghosts eating candles.. staring at emotionless faces on the tombstones...they stare back..a ring of fire..what lies beneath? they are not forgotten..a quest to be free from suffering above and beyond..hold on to the death wish...outer ghosts ..inner ghosts..humans r far more terrifying then the craving souls...let go of the phantoms of the past...the ghost of delusion..

Spooky hauntings ..endless cravings

Haunted samsaric moments in this state of mind

The invisible operator drifting from shell to shell

Fragments of a bizarre past diluted

Satisfy the unsatiated cosmic surfer

Harmless flawless spirit

Changing faces of a pretagaki..

Return to the Spookerdokerdoo..

MIRACLE ~ CORNFIELDS

"Forgiveness is the only illusion within my dream that will take me out of the dream".

..True forgiveness is the recognition that there is absolutely nothing going on? Overlooking the false and seeing the truth...People often say "Oh look at that! try to forgive"..Forgiveness overlooks what is not in recognition of what is...Forgiveness waits..watches and judges not...Forgiveness..the true path of peace...It's time...time to let go...When i don't know what to do..let forgiveness show me what to do...I'm just blindly attacking myself in this dream sequence..I'm not accepting the truth in my reality in any moment that I'm not in a state of joy and happiness + total bliss...So what am i really doing? Just killing myself in this state of unforgiveness...the whole idea that I'm experiencing this dream is meaningless cuz there's nothing going on...what is false and what is true? Only the truth is true and false never was...forgiving myself in this process of awakening..its the toughest one..I am already awake!! Time to let of of all these self judgement of all my wrong doings and I'm absolutely innocent..absolutely..totally completely innocent..

Forgiveness..the manner in which i can really let go of the dream...in my frantic attempt to prove that I'm guilty..guilt..a fabric of fear..a real savage fantasy indeed...so I've convinced myself that in this heart of the matter there is absolutely nothing do to except to forgive..the home team forgives..all my guardian angels, protectors and the most compassionate buddha forgives...forgiveness is absolutely required but requires absolutely nothing..the power of acceptance..In every moment, in every opportunity what am i doing here?? Everything that i see in this dream frequency really boils down to this question..what and who am I? The answer is always the same..perfect spirit..safe healed and whole.. limitless and one.. right here right now in this moment of perfect trust..trust that everything will be alright in this changing dreamscape of coloured cornfields..the most unique journey..the only journey i know of where relationships are a means of awakening..what then is total surrender? Spiritual practices and meditation techniques and what not..there is this self denial..self sacrifice..self enquiring path..self remembering..of all the love that there is..a spontaneous occurence without any effort whatsoever..Stillness in love..As i give happiness..i receive happiness....happiness empty from its own side..the silent wind of grief blows through..

Today's chokur duchen..merit multiplying day..every positive or negative action will be multiplied 1 million times!..we had a four hour recitation of the King of Glorious Sutras called the Exalted Sublime Golden Light Sutra with 30 others...a very precious text..it brings peace and happiness and is very powerful to stop violence. By hearing this text, one's karma is purified..Anyone who keeps, memorizes or contributes to this text exceeds the 8 worldly beings and all their wishes will be fulfilled. May it be so..

Unforgettable Faces ..

Of people and places, every face tells a story of hope , suffering, anguish or happiness? Such contrast can only be seen from the wide eyed... to the mother's pain of having to be separated from her only son yet again..A genuine welcoming smile from wonderment at having seen foreign visitors to a remote village high up in the mountains...for the first time..

Colour me wild..let my mind be perfectly free...the only constant thing is change..nothing ever stays the same..this world is still beautiful.. peter pan still has wings...what colour is it?

When the wild sunflowers bloom, I'll be home

When the wind has lost its shades of grey, I'll be home

When the lighthouse heals the pain, I'll be home

When the seafarers swing their lethal muggs, I'll be home

When mummies sing their last lullabies, I'll be home

When will i truly be home? Not X'mas..not this time..

MILAREPA'S CAVE

**With Hikaru in the holy cave where Milarepa (Tibet's greatest yogi & saint) used to meditate! We both thought the energy here wasn't as evident as compared to Yanglesho (Guru Rinpoche's cave) we visited at Pharping last week. The energy was so intense at Guru Rinpoche's cave ..its almost like instant Reiki!..So many power places in Kathmandu..we are really blessed ..being able to be in this place that possesses the blessings of Buddha's speech and mind..

The Milarepa cave is just a couple of minutes walk from the Sankhu Gompa up in the hills... We walked 30mins to the cave today and passed a self emanating Vajrayogini enshrined in a holy temple. The local people said she gives powerful blessings to those who makes wishes here...Well, we lit a butter lamp for 100 RS..and had our foreheads dotted with red dye.. We were not allowed to take photos of the sacred Ugra-Tara (Ekazati)...it's forbidden.. It started pouring just after we had sat down to rid of garbage from our mental continnuim in this sacred cave...getting back down the muddy slopes would be tricky we thought..

++ View from inside cave with our friend/guide Sumang taking a breather outside..

Shawdowless Eagle

Sacred Voices on a spiritual quest

From the snowy mountains to the sandalwood forest

Reflection of karma on earth's red clay looms

Visions of Deities sparkling in the emerging sunlight..

Blessings from the master's comforting gaze pours forth

Mimicking petals of a lotus

May the winds of impermanence lead me and numberless beings to the sea of enlightenment..

"According to a blessing Milarepa uttered towards the end of his life, anyone who but hears the name Milarepa even once attracts an instant blessing and will not take rebirth in a lower state of existence during seven consecutive lifetimes. This was prophesied by Saints and Buddhas of the past even before his lifetime."

Dalai Lama’s 72nd birthday in Nepal

Tibetans were all out in full force to celebrate His Holiness's 72nd birthday in Kathmandu with a grand display of traditional songs and dances..a sight to behold ..watched by what must have been more than 2000 people sweltering in the hot afternoon sun..

The celebrations started with a long life prayer for His Holiness followed by the Tibetan National Anthem. Countless khatas were also offered @ the throne in front of HH's portrait..

**what a cutie!

It was truly an auspicious day to begin with as we saw double rainbows and double "suns" early in the morning at 6am ..there were 2 sets of sun rays ..one from the east and the other from the west..what a sight to behold..

**Happy Hikaru soaking in the grand atmosphere ...

PEACE!




Prayer for the Long Life of His Holiness:

In the land encirled by snow mountains

You are the source of all happiness & good

All powerful Chenrezig, Tenzin Gyatso,

Please remain till samsara ends...

Naturally Nepal..

Happy shiny people from all over the world crossed paths and completed the 10 day meditation course @ Kopan Monastery (Kathmandu, Nepal) from 31st May to 10th June. Just look @ our faces! The motley group comprised of 60+ people from USA, Belgium, Australia, Austria, England, Singapore, Japan, France, Germany, Mexico, Portugal, Israel etc... Class Schedule:

2:00pm: Group Discussion

3:00pm: Class

5:00pm: Tea

6:30pm: Evening Meditation

7:30pm: Dinner

This course was led by the ever affable Ani Karin and the daily schedule consists of sessions of meditation, teachings and discussion groups held @ the Chenrezig Gompa. Naturally we bonded with people according to the law of attraction and its with regret that we all didn't have enuff time to get to know the others that we've missed out...

An unforgettable experience it was..especially Ani Karin's girlish laughter that we all loved so much..and ooh the peanut butter made right here @ Kopan..its just pure heaven! Everyone wished that they sell those in jars...Kopan Peanut Butter with Tibetan Bread @ breakfast everyday..oooh what a treat! Sometimes we had muesli with coconut milk and other times we had yummilicious pancakes and milk tea. haven't really acquired the taste for tibetan butter tea tho..

We all had sooo much fun during the course ..ooh so many memories..it's almost like a dream....

"Imagine in your mind - wide open spaces..blue skies..alive but not concrete..communicate with your heart - inspiration goes beyond conflict, confusion and pain.." - Ani Karin

NO FEAR

When things fall apart...I have noodles all over my head...

Circumstances of my life have hardened me and it could have made me increasingly resentful and afraid..but it really has softened me ...All my habitual patterns rooted in fear have blocked this state of open heartedness and tenderness. I have to constantly remind myself to accept the situation as it is and whatever faults and imperfections and stay in the present moment even though the heart has breaked beyond breaking point.

Seeing with the heart what is invisible to the eye..seeing through ego strategies that come into play ..all that is causing hurt and resist life as it is...Bringing order into this disordered life...how do i really transform terror and pain into joy and compassion? Forgiving is easy but the pain still remains...However, suddenly finding the ground disappearing beneath my feet is beyond shocking to say the least. We always say that the nature of reality is that it neither exists nor doesn't exist. It is neither form or emptiness. It's a beautiful answer but our limited understanding of prajnaparamita doesn't do justice to this mind with no resting place..

After Avalokiteshvara told Shariputa that "form is emptiness; emptiness also is form"..he went even further pointing out that there is nothing..not even the Buddha's teaching to hold on to. no marks of existence no sufferiing no end of suffering no liberation...where thence FEAR?? Prajnaparamita sutra read and re-read countless times..written down in gold ink on black paper...Often we all don't want to hear all this and have all our beliefs challenged..very threatening...Avalokiteshvara said there is no final attainment no ultimate no pit stop...Total Fearlessness = Full Enlightenment...This warrior has to learn to relax and gradually connect with the mind that knows no FEAR.....OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SOHA...So be it...I have just avoided a heart attack.

Stepping beyond fear...all these experiences in this present groundless moment...how do i trust that everything is going to be alright ...moving in the opposite direction of belief is soul shattering...This warrior has lost the battle but the wind still rages on and on...wounded and crawling but still trying to calm the mind and make it think that it is still thrilling to be alive and create more merits whenever wherever...

An sms just popped out of nowhere: Ahh..Fly high dream on..dream on...go out of your office for a stroll and take some deep breaths...You'll be all set with that...

I should just do that ..take a breather from all these heightened neurosis...

"The secret of life that we are all looking for is just this..to develop through sitting and daily life practice the power and courage to return to that which we have spent a lifetime hiding from, to rest in the bodily experience of the present moment - even if it is a feeling of being humiliated, of failing, of abandonment, of unfairness" - Charlotte Joko Beck

MOON GODDESS SINGS..

Freedom from the root of mistaken appearances...

Someone texted me this @ midnight yesterday.."May the myriad of ways create happiness"..

Yes, the beating heart knows yearning..happiness is freedom from clinging and yearning...ever changing..a heruka blows soul kisses...Mother Prajnaparamita creating every moment ..every form..formless...empty vase..

Resting my weary soul upon the golden lotus seat..he becomes me..she becomes me..everything and everyone not separate from the source of creation..He assures that the path is right..assures his ever unchanging love..without condition..without illusion..without a shadow of a doubt..is this path truly that simple? A simple hug means more than what a thousand words can ever say...I asked what if ..he replied our karma from past lives has chosen to resurface at this moment of time..the celestial palace ..an enchanted life beckons..So what now? Am I ready? I have confidence in the lost and found..he sings..We may be physically apart for a long time but space and time will not separate twin flames...where have we heard this so many times..the mind can split the demon with the vajra knife ..crushing all vulnerability..The heart still quivers for soul norishment..

D-Day 2011..promises of a better future ..anticipation like a mist rising in the sky...clouds of compassion resting in perfect bliss...To know solitude is to be free from the bonds of illusion...The essence of the Moon Goddess dispelling all eviL and darkness...

~Dawa Lhamo sings again..

BE BRAVE?

Staring fear in the face. How can I be brave and face this unforgiving storm? By holding the truth in my heart with faith in this dream? I've come so far to throw it all away..How long can we hold on together till the end?? When our prayers have been answered, we all hope it will be fulfilled to the end..

Braving this rocky road..a drop of faith changes everything
Ready to risk it all.. I'm safe and sound till now
All the love to cut away the strings of fear
Vows of compromise, secrecy ..lies
Enough just to be BRAVE??? till then...


Constantly asking does he really have love and compassion in his heart in a strong way? He has dedicated his life trying to help others with this powerful energy. But whats happening now?? All these tears, suffering, hurt & fear of the unknown...this primordial feeling.. Wanting to stop own suffering, suffering of others..just wanting a moment of happiness for self and others..genuine love and kindness..Is it really that difficult? This seed is still there...maybe just covered with murky water for the moment...

I will need lots of courage to see this through..a tremendous amount of it to say the least..I just wish to get inside the Buddha's mind just even for an instant..Neither of us want to get hurt...Is reputation, Ego, appearance to others mean more than this flower of selflessness ??? The tugging of heartstrings certainly not a moment of weakness... When I am experiencing the most powerful moments in my life, I have truly forgotten about myself..Maybe ..just maybe this is the secret to having real peace to replace all the sorrow and grief from the impossible dream..I'd just have to believe..

Nga la ga po chik yang me...

3 KINGDOMS

Though thousand times a thousand in battle one may conquer,yet should one conquer just oneself one is the greatest conqueror.- The Buddha

Went to watch Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon (HK) with a group of friends from overseas recently. What price truth, glory and fame...so much bloodshed & sacrifice for the dream of unifying the 3 dragons...Andy Lau & Sammo Hung's fine acting saved the day...Not an impressive movie.. doesn't do justice to this great part of chinese history..Romance of the 3 Kingdoms interlocked in certain parts of the movie...played out like a bad game of chess...but the images of the brutality of war and a certain mesmerizing quality saved it from being written off ...Andy Lau's protrayal of the old Zhao ZhiLong left an unforgettable and favourable impression on all of us..wanna mati must go out with a bang...blaze of glory...



Went to waterloo street and bumped into TianWang,
Ani Sherab Dolma & H.E. Dolpo Tulku Rinpoche @ Kwanyin temple & subsequently brought them around the bugis area...pure coincidence or is this just a small small world..

Am I the pawn to be sacrified or the will the King rule? Will have to checkmate this time round. D-Day 14th April 2008. This will be the toughest chess game ever played yet.

MIRACLE RAYS

Photo taken from a poster @ a friend's house ..showing rays from KwanYin's eyes...a little miracle in itself ..I believe many have been touched one way or another by her wonderful & compassionate energy..and presence

Healing often comes after some life changing events that occur in our lives. I have always felt a strong connection with Kwanyin/Tara/Avalokitesvara

and I believe she does have her sense of humour too...A motherly figure constantly bestowing blessings on her suffering children. She comes swiftly in times of crisis and sincere plea...

All women constantly strive to be like her, the embodiment of purity in heart and spirit..wisdom & compassion.

I will always need to stay within my own center of comfort with circumstances. Many things will change over the years and I should allow that to happen and not cling to a future expectation or promises or divination. Allow myself to move on, even while honoring the relationship and this man in my heart. Then it will unfold in the way it is supposed to. He is caught up too but stuck within his own circumstances. His choice is between me and his appearance within his world. True love goes with the heart not the ego of appearances. By understanding this, maybe I could navigate better. Just maybe. No clinging, or attachment just love and commitment to each other.

As for protection, our own wisdom is the best protection. Our intuition is the best guide. Visualize the goddess (closest to our hearts) in our hearts. Ask her for what we need. As we are able, see her riding on the crown of our head the size of our thumb all the time. Feeling as though she is there is enough. Say her mantra a few times when you notice feeling her presence. This is probably the best medicine.

~She who hears the cries of the world. May all be well and be touched by her presence

TEARS IN HEAVEN

At the time the world began, all things were preordained
A favourable day brings each fruit to ripeness
The baby fish stays quiet in the river while growing
Doesn't want to aim too high or try to jump too far
One day in future, this fish will change and grow
In one bound the baby fish will clear the dragon's lair...
Hold the tears...


Watched a beautiful & moving DVD last night...Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint.. Milarepa's fame came from his sincerity and honesty in looking at the truth, even the bitter truth, and transforming that into a universal truth, the truth of all beings, the ultimate truth. Reflections of encountering violence and retribution in our very lives...this true story is based on centuries old traditions and how Milarepa is thrown headlong into a world of hate and betrayal, power & socery. He is most known for his 100,000 songs of Milarepa and his unwavering faithfulness & humbleness to his teacher, Marpa & turned his ordinary life into the ultimate legend...the legend lives on, continuing to inspire ...

Inspiration comes in many myriad of forms and colours...the precious one inspires..once again no different from this heart and mind..blessed amrita showered from across the heavens..sweet melodies circles the space..spirit dwelling within spirit..enjoy the mirage and not be fooled.



"I cry,weep and feel a strong sense of faith each time I read and hear the story of Milerapa , the great yogi of Tibet. " the Dalai Lama
