A beautiful, magical, powerful place of retreat, practice and mindfulness training. Monday, January 19, 2009. This is my first. Longing to be loved, feel secure and cherished is something familiar to many of us. We search for people, places, states of mind in which to feel held, happy. And sometimes we do lead lives of contentment and love, at least for a time. But even within that life, we may know moments of longing for something more, undefined. Jetsunma has spoken so beautifully and. Some years ago, ...

A beautiful, magical, powerful place of retreat, practice and mindfulness training. Wednesday, October 24, 2007. This is a story that tore my heart open. When my friend Susan told me, I sat shocked in disbelief. I cannot tell you the exact where's and when, but if you go to the link above, there is an explanation in Spanish. This is abhorrent beyond words. I cannot comprehend any part of this; that cruelty to animals could be accepted by one single person, let alone many. Sunday, October 14, 2007. And if...

A beautiful, magical, powerful place of retreat, practice and mindfulness training. Tuesday, July 08, 2008. The gift of kindness. If anyone has been looking for me, you may have thought I have fallen off the edge of the world. Perhaps I did. It seems the edge of the world is not as solid or fixed as we once imagined. Even now, I will not say much. I am writing this in MD, in a household of nuns, all of whom have retired for the night leaving me - on AZ time and wide awake! That is BaiBai on the home page.

A beautiful, magical, powerful place of retreat, practice and mindfulness training. Saturday, March 28, 2009. A great Teacher has passed from the world. His Holiness Penor Rinpoche in Lhasa. When I awoke yesterday morning, although I did not know it, my world had changed. Across the ocean, in southern India, the great Lama who had with great kindness guided countless people on a pure, unbroken path of Buddhism, had passed away. He was the 11th Throneholder of the Palyul lineage. His Holiness has passed f...

A beautiful, magical, powerful place of retreat, practice and mindfulness training. Saturday, January 19, 2008. Yesterday upon the stair. I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today,.

Probably nothing, which is everything, and that is the bewilderment that we share. Saturday, January 12, 2008. Words in the dust. Photo courtesy bigfoto.com.

A beautiful, magical, powerful place of retreat, practice and mindfulness training. Wednesday, March 11, 2009. A good day to smile. Words and thoughts for a post buffet around in my mind a lot. Mostly discarded, because time flows and relevance shifts. My littlest dog, Maddie, I think has her eyes set on a post. She has already sent a message to my friend Rabden via chat (yes, really! What a gift he gives, and that is the gift we can share with each other. Kindness, graciousness, no judgment and blam...

A beautiful, magical, powerful place of retreat, practice and mindfulness training. Monday, September 15, 2008. A snapshot from retreat.carrying the sacred texts on the Buddhist Holy Day, Chokhor. A beautiful ceremony, where we followed HH. And the other revered Tulku. And teachers, around the perimeter of the retreat land. Accompanied by the sound of conch shells and other instruments, and melodic voices chanting. Miranda is in front of me, Ani. Alyce-Louise behind. It was a wonderful, joyful event.
