MONKEY MANIA.......

Flavours of the mind?.....


Constant craving. ..a dream animal in a mirage
Running in the scorching heat intensifies craving....
Anger, Anxiety, Agitation & Agony
Valiums to the beautiful mind
Impermanence always catching us by surprise
Negativities hoisted high begins to strain
Gentleness ... a voyage on the boundless ocean prevails..


MONKEY MANIA
Once there was a monkey king who looked down the walls of a canyon and saw the bright moon reflected on the water. What a beautiful precious jewel and I must have it! he exclaimed. When he told the other monkeys, they all agreed that it will be very difficult to obtain; but the monkey king said, " I have a brilliant idea. One monkey will hold onto to the giant tree and everyone else will form a line, each one holding tightly to the tail of the monkey in front.

We can then lower our monkey chain down to the water and the last one will be able to reach the jewel." So 500 monkeys dangled down to the water, but the weight was too much for the one holding on to the tree and all 500 monkeys fell into the lake and drowned."



"Every single thought, every moment of experience, has a silent nature within it that we can
contact directly. If we understand this silent, meditative quality, there is no need to fight or subdue anything or anyone". ~ Tarthang Tulku
