“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
"Only you can make your mind beautiful."

Re: Tibetan Calendar
Apologies for bumping this very old thread, but I was wondering if anyone could kindly point me to a current Tibetan Buddhist calendar app that includes naga puja days?
Just to complicate things, I'm looking for one that's compatible with iPhone/iPad. (I know, I know...)
Thanks in advance!
