Premium Member Dilemma of the Dalai Lama
holding within heart, omnipotent force we can, if we choose, alter the dream but if love and light be our sole resource should we not allow desire forms to stream as we witness all as but a flicker in time where through laboured breathing souls climb the will of God and ours now being one behold motionless is space, steadfast the sun and...

Premium Member Non-violence, their common thread
In this world so full of drama I ventured to see the Dalai Lama, so many problems filled me with dread. He said breathe deep and let it go, from your head down to your toe, and offered me a piece of manna bread.. The wise man shared the bond between Dr. King and Thich Nhat Hahn, although these spiritual teachers are...

Premium Member Thats What A Buddhas Like
(Rinpoche in Sarnath, 1987) That’s What A Buddha’s Like It’s hard to know where to start when talking about the ineffable. Maybe starting at the end is best.

Years ago my Lama visited my home...

Eli, Eli, lama Sabachthani?

Why the need to know If mud is real or just a mote in my eye? In your eleventh hour, in your distress, why did you utter that accusatory word, 'forsaken'? Those...

Dalai Lama
Dalai Lama Dalai Lama, the Buddhist monk giggles a lot when interviewed on TV he sounded like Readers Digest platitude upon platitude between giggles. He walked a lot wore solid boots. In the background, a Tom & Jerry show with the sound turned off. The impression was that of a village idiot. Why does the Chinese bother with him?...

Delai Lamas Bench, Anglesey
So the records say on a past day, The Dalai Lama sat on a peaceful bench, not that far away! I had to find out if he was right, So set off to sit on this Anglesey delight, When I got to Llanbadrig church, The wind was swirling high on the purch, A boat was bouncing gracefully on the waves, With gulls...

Glimpse in sure stay the...

One simple touch of peace now springs, Note kindness here in compassion. Live love as such with what life brings, Heed fond good cheer in sure action; Abide with grace when conflicts come, Meet each new day with happy smiles; Obey and face the truth that sums. Deed words fine stay as goodness styles, Open your heart to soul embrace, Niche noble path and...
