"A genuine, not artificial, compassion, can only arise after we have discovered our own condition. Observing our own limits, our conditioning, our conflicts, and so on, we can be truly conscious of the suffering of others, and then our own experience becomes a basis or a model for being able to better understand and help those around us."

Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche

"Real compassion kicks butt and takes names, and it is not pleasant on certain days. If you are not ready for this fire, then find a new-age, sweetness-and-light, soft-speaking, perpetually smiling teacher, and learn to relabel your ego with spiritual sounding terms. But stay away from those that practice real compassion, because they will fry your ass, my friend."
Ken Wilber

Happy Dakini day !

“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all. “~Richard Feynman

“No one leaves here alive. So please stop treating yourself as an afterthought. Eat delicious food. Walk in the sun. Jump into the sea. Speak the truth that you carry in your heart like a hidden treasure. Be silly. Be good. Be weird. There is no time for anything else.”
Anthony Hopkins

Lepcha Mani Gompa is arguably the oldest Buddhist monastery in Kalimpong, India...

It’s been built entirely from mud and wood, a common tradition in this area. This mud monastery has lasted for over 300 years, the cornerstone for many monks and lay people in the area, until 2011, when an earthquake of a 6.9 magnitude cracked its foundation and walls.

Not only is there structural damage to the foundation and walls, roof, with floorboards breaking apart, and electrical work that needs gutting out, but they have intricately hand-painted murals that will need to be redone.

Most Westerners will likely never get to Kalimpong. After China’s invasion of Tibet in 1959, many high Tibetan lamas and devotees migrated and practiced here. They blessed this place with some extraordinary palpable benefits. By your contribution, you can make a connection with this sacred place and its people. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to reap the good karma of having helped save this modest but special monastery.

Please share with your friends, groups,pages and wherever you find suitable to support this humble cause 🙏🏻 Namaste

A dificuldade em ser-se espontâneo tem a ver com as amarras e prisão aos conceitos e normas... Quem ousa ser diferente, quem se permite simplesmente ser, conhece muitas dificuldades e obstáculos porque as pessoas não estão habituadas a lidar com a simplicidade, com a aceitação das suas próprias imperfeições , com a leveza de simplesmente serem. Sem a preocupação de agradarem a outrem... Como se por algum momento fosse mais importante agradar para fora e desagradar ao coração!
Bom dia :)

“A single recitation of the Vajrasattva mantra can purify the negative karma of 100 thousand kalpas. This is written in the Vajrasattva Tantra.”

A wonderful teaching and reminder from Khenpo Tsulstrim Gyatso 😉

“Not only is there no difference between being close to the guru or far away, the guru’s blessings are stronger when you are far away. For example, Milarepa stayed with Marpa in order to receive all the oral instructions, then went off to practice in the mountains of Lachi. Once, when Milarepa supplicated Marpa with great longing and devotion, Marpa appeared to him in the midst of a cloud, riding a lion, even though he was still very far away.......

I say this because some people that when they are a student of a particular guru, they need to stay with the guru all the time. This is not the case. There is actually no difference b tween staying near the guru or staying far from the guru. If you have very strong faith, although you can be living very far from the guru, the guru will be right there. But if you have no faith, you may always be in the presence of the guru but still be very far away.”

In March 2024 we had the great fortune to have the presence of Non Himalayan Buddhist Nuns for a short visit and pilgrimage to Tso Pema! How wonderful 🙏🏻

We visited and did kora in rewalsar lake, we went to the upper caves for a visit and practice and we also visit Princess MANDARAVA cave near the lake and also practiced there too 🙏🏻

Was a short but memorable visit and an important step for the future of the Non Himalayan Buddhist nuns alliance 🙏🏻
I deeply rejoice and im so grateful for the time we spend together 🌹🌹🌹

Join us in this small pilgrimage and enjoy the beauty and sacredness of TSO PEMA 🙏🏻
