The drum calls out to all animals on land."

A Buddhist Song about Man's Insignificance

2007-06-27T16:17:00.000-07:00

"Throne of Blood is the 1957 Japanese adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, by Akira Kurosawa, the famed director of Seven Samurai. In this scene two Garrison Commanders are inexplicably lost in a familiar forest when they hear an evil spirit laughing. They charge toward the sound to confront the spirit, who is singing this profound song about the folly of man's self-importance."

Embrace - True Heritage

2007-06-27T16:12:00.000-07:00

Our True Heritage
The cosmos is filled with precious gems.
I want to offer a handful of them to you this morning.
Each moment you are alive is a gem,
Shinning through and containing earth and sky,
Water and clouds.
It needs you to breathe gently
For the miracles to be displayed.
Suddenly you hear the birds singing,
the pines chanting,
see the flowers blooming,
the blue sky,
the white clouds,
the smile and the marvelous look
of your beloved.
You, the richest person on Earth,
who have been going around begging for a living,
stop being the destitute child.
Come back and claim your heritage.
We should enjoy our happiness
and offer it to everyone.
Cherish this very moment.
Let go of the stream of distress
and embrace life fully in your arms.
~Thich Nhat Hanh

Om Mani Padme Hum

2007-06-27T09:55:00.000-07:00

"It is very good to recite the mantra. According to Gen Rinpoche's" The mantra Om Mani Pädme Hum" is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. Päd, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom. "So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom.
