Losar - Tashi Delek!
my klhapse did not fall to pieces this year... tho they do not look quite right...

I have never heard of any of those - and don't do any of them. but then, i rarely go to hotels.....

more investigating to be done.....

Thank you - goes off to investigate....

Wow... for posting this...

Thank you for the feedback. One safe, two questions....

confessions? hmmm... I confess..... * I meditate lying down rather than the correct seated position * am only vegetarian rather than vegan on mondays * do not see the harm in moderate doses of alcohol - providing it does not affect the mind I am using * take too much pleasure in my food * have a ten...

I am investigating possible new teachers/study sources and wonder what people's opinions/experience of these three are: 1.Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche - http://www.mangalashribhuti.org/ 2.Tulku Ogyen Rinpoche - http://www.buddhaofcompassion.org/ogyen-tulku.htm 3.Lama Lhanang Rinpoche - http://jigmelingp...

So glad it worked out - Sorry i was awol for a few weeks and missed the post til 'all done' - (if it happens again next year, I will toss in my quarterly royalty payment...)

I have 'come n gone n come back again' a few times myself....

I must admit that my connection to Buddhism has changed my personal view on my parents.... If I had not read, studied, learned and practiced Buddhism, I would have totally turned my back/ignored my father's predicament. Because I learned of the value put upon one's parents in the Buddhist faith, it ...

There are other additional ways to act of course - i already refuse to buy Chinese products if there are any alternatives. There is also a growing number of everyday Chinese people who do not like what their Govt does, but who will not stand up to them. Maybe if enough of them band together there wi...

NB: This might only be of interest to those members who practice Tibetan Buddhism: I have been following very closely the situation of the latest monastery to be subjected to Chinese intimidation within Tibet and would like to ask any members that feel that way inclined to please check out the follo...

I have just started to learn the Tibetan alphabet - I have a picture of it, a video of pronunciation, and I have just been given a link where both are together - and now more help! Now, i just need to store it all in my brain instead of just the first letter.......

Part of the Bodhisattva attitude, if i am correct, is to wish to assist everyone even if we ALONE do so.... so, as stated above, I think we should all work on our own practice to keep Buddhism going. Maybe there will be less emphasis on Buddhism for a while, or it may be made unpopular to practice, ...

I have indeed been tempted to progress in that area - however, it seems that it is not 'the' - if 'a' - teacher for me to pursue.... I am interested, respectful, and read a lot - - but that certain 'connection' is lacking. I keep trying..... i keep reading, exploring, learning....but....

^ Yes, i am also a subscriber to that website!!!! I have just bought the cookery book form there - but not explored much yet, as I have been busy.

Thank you - i will check these links..... everytime I pray to Guru Rinpoche about searching for a new teacher/guide, I keep getting visions of a Tibetan musician rather than of a teacher - I wonder if this man will someday become a teacher too - or if my mind is clouded as I like their music.... :na...

Ahha - another Manjula addict - me too. I can cook basic curry as mild, medium, hot or HOT-HOT-HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, the latter preferred by self! and chapati, but not a lot else til i started watching her vids!
