Why Heartbreak Could Be The Best Thing…
by Lilly Bechtel on Aug 21, 2011
Having been living with the loose ends of an ended relationship for months now, my imperfect desire seemed to be all I had. So I was moved by the idea that my longing didn't have to mean some kind of deformity. That the incomplete feeling that grief had given me was not necessarily the complete truth. That missing someone didn't have to mean that I missing something. That my pain was not an indication that I hadn't yet found that perfect piece, the one that would make me good again. Something fiercely thirsty was rising towards the idea that if I let it, my fumbling, fragmented, flickering heart could write its own love song and that that song could carry me to higher ground.2,559 views

Journey to the Hidden Land of Pemako
by Naomi Levine on Aug 21, 2011
In one of the stamens of the flower of the world is Pemako in the shape of Vajra Yogini lying down. Outer, inner and secret levels correspond to the levels of the mind. In the secret chakra of Vajra Yogini there are flowers coming in winter also. If people die here, they do not take karmic rebirth; they go to the Pure Lands. I do not tell lies. It is like that. Keep it in mind. Guru Rinpoche from the Guidebook to Pemako1,353 views
