Awaken

Wake Up! We must awaken!

‘The Beast’ has been set loose in the world and we,

“the warriors of The Lord” must force it back to its origins.

‘The Beast’ cannot…

My Soul’s Journey

There’s a storm in my head

The rumblings of energies

– Unfathomable Forces – evoked.

But how do I reign?

The Man said, “FORGET ALL.

NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS.”

From the Water by Ajeet

This song was born out of the feeling of stepping into something new, something unknown. It feels like birth, like coming into a new space with fragile steps. Many things in my world and in the…

One of the greatest humanitarians alive, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, teaches, “in today’s materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine wellbeing. Wealth should serve humanity, and not…

The greatest living master exuding love and compassion even while asleep, teaches, “every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive. I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit…

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has the genius to see detailed interconnections that others miss. He also has the breadth and wide perspective to see the big pictures more precisely and accurately than others.

Time is precious. I get it. We all have things to do and places to go.

That’s why it’s so important to fill up our “spare” moments with things that nurture us and support us in becoming who we want to be.

Dharma is life. Life is dharma. Dharma is good life. Good life is Dharma. Goodness has unlimited breadth and depth. It includes generosity, which counters stinginess. It includes integrity, which counters dishonesty. It includes tolerance, which counters anger. It includes perseverance, which counters laziness. It includes…

Cultivate the habit of dropping into the present moment. Do this repeatedly every day. When we are in the present moment, both the past and the future are quiet. It is when the mind engages the past or future that thoughts occur. This includes feelings and emotions, usually anxiety, fear, and worry. But in the present moment these are…

In Tibetan, the word for meditation is ‘gom.’ It means to remember. To remember virtue instead of harm. Remembering virtue counters our tendency to respond with a knee-jerk dysfunctional reaction, like anger, jealousy, pride or insecurity. This is core Dharma practice. All our preconceived ideas, recognized and often unrecognized, get…

WHAT AM I ?            cried the raindrop

as it splashed into the muddy pond

The pond flowed into a creek

Asking            What am I ?

Twisting and turning the creek became a river

Wondering What am I ?

Quietly              under a golden moon

the river met the…

"You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick."

Healing requires a shift, a fundamental change of scenery, both internal and external.

Staying in the environment that caused the sickness is like trying to mend a broken bone while repeatedly banging it against the same wall. It's not about blame, but about…

Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me.

George Orwell from the dystopian novel 1984

I want to signal to you that the infernal fire which consumes me is only a fragment of…

in a world traumatized by greed and violence, be an anomaly. Practice nonviolent noncooperation with corruption, crime and evil. Choose life and the Earth. Even the smallest choice is a choice. Even the smallest love is love. Even the smallest peace is peace. Make every choice a choice for change.…

„The Cycle of Return“

I was not born once.

I unfold.

From something

that has no beginning.

The stars do not remember me.

They are me.

Their rhythm lives beneath my skin.

My breath is older than my name.

The Earth turns.

Not just to spin,

but to listen.

The sea listens.

To the moon’s quiet longing.

To the deep pull of memory

that isn’t memory at…

My garden of flowers

is also my garden

of thoughts and dreams.

The thoughts grow

as freely as the flowers,

and the dreams are as beautiful.

Two days ago was the full moon 15th day of Saga Dawa, the day 2600 years ago that Shakyamuni Buddha was both born and enlightened, 35 years later. I know everyone has and is trying hard during this Saga Dawa month to avoid harm, even little harms. On top of that, I know everyone has been practicing love and compassion as much as…
