To all or none, Today ,I am with a great friend , who ,will be moving to the nearest big city in june. I cannot say it saddens me. It is karma,mine and hers. As I write about her moving I am definitly not in the NOW?
Her move should not in any way affect my happiness,because as written before,it is simply ......KARMA.......Never forget that Mind (RIGPA) does not know distances.
With compassion Loong the learner

Dear Teacher, I know you are heavily into meditation,as a teacher and practitionner. I jusr wrote an article ,in The TibetanBook.......... In which the mentionning of Mantras ,is one way of meditating. These words made very happy ,you know how it it difficult to enroll me in meditation practice Just read the detailed description by Sogyal Rinpoche.For the purpose of others knowledge,I will write,his description.
Mantra is the essence of sound,and the embodiment of the Truth in the form of sound.Each syllable is impregnated with spiritual power,condenses a spiritual truth And vibrates with the blessing of the speech of the of the Buddhas.It is also said that the mind rides on the subtle energy of the breath,the prana,which moves through and purifies the subtle channels of the body .So when you chant a mantra,you are charging your breath and energy with the energy of the Mantra,and so working directly on your mind and subtle body Words by S,Rinpoche Delivered by Loong The messenger.

To all or none,
I am saddened by the events of today ,in Boston.The 3 dead children's karma of such young trip in this life.However these angels will be rebirthed. Global karma or A country karma does exist.Too bad that those experiencing this karma,are not the ones that should live it. But it is like that. How many innocent victims died in the Middle East. If one plants a seed of suffering,suffering will come,that is karma.
Loong the learner.

To My Teacher,
Last nite a woman friend ,i have, told me she might have some problems In her organs.The kind of love I have for that woman is comparable to the type of love ,I have for Lisa Erikson,my teacher.It is a love beyond earthly feelings. I never spoke of this love and respect ,Lisa has for human beings.Me included.
Last nite and this morning ,I prayed the Universe for her well- being ,also let go of the attachment ,I have for her,to let her live her Karma.I wish people could discover this pure form of Love.
To these 2 woman ,I bowe ,very deeply hands together.

To all or none In my post #816743,I wrote that 3 children had died.For that ,Iam sorry Just one ,butone too many. I often speak of seeds.Below is a list of seeds. Korean war Vietnam Melay village, Contreras, Afghanistan Iraq Guantanamo Bay.
Some of you will not be inaccord with me.That is your prerogative. Millions of seeds of destruction buried through the years. The blooming season has started.
Loong

To all or none,
This morning on page 1 of our biggest city ,there is the picture of the young child killed in the explosion in Boston.
Two flowers ,like ,I like to call them , I forgot to send them to that boy and they are COMPASSION AND LOVING KINDNESS, We must not forget also all other victims.
Loong the learner

Insight #110 (this thread was originally started was a way to share ongoing insights as they occur along the path - anyone can join in):
There are so many layers of our mind, that entirely shape how we perceive reality. In meditation and mindfulness practice, we go deeper and deeper into these levels, unraveling all that has defined the world for us, so that we can experience existence directly.
This was really brought home to me when re-reading the bigoraphy of Tenzin Palmo, Cave in the Snow, which is so excellent. Tenzin Palmo is the senior-most Western-born Tibetan Buddhist nun (she is originally British), and spent 12 years living in a cave, often meditating 12 hours a day while there. Her insights on meditation in this book are truly wonderful and inspiring. Meditation is about so much more than destressing (although it's wonderful that it starts out as that for so many people.)
