These Dark & Hungry Streets
Posted by: | CommentsTruth is, if I put my energy solely into one thing I would likely be rich by now
or maybe I would have something shiny I could point at
to validate my existence in accordance with this society I inhabit.
But like the sun I can not only shine one direction.
Look at all the miserable people…
& so day & night where do you remain?
Have you not noticed, truth can not be contrived?
& so I simply keep my window open.
We all make our choices friend!
Would I dare sacrifice one ray of light for a lifetime of dark & hungry self-gain?

Chicago MedMob: December 9th Meditation Flash Mob
Posted by: | CommentsINNER-PEACE IS THE DOORWAY TO OUTER-PEACE
COME SIT WITH US
Chicago Med Mob December 9th
Let’s sit on the concourse level of the JR Thompson Center. There are tables, chairs and even a waterfall.
Bring yourself, a cushion, and an open mind. We will quietly meditate for 30 minutes, then chant one continuous sound for 10-15 minutes (read below).
This event is indoors. We will ring bells at 5:30PM to start meditation, again at 6PM to end meditation and to begin continuous sound, and a third time to end the event.
We invite you to join us for all of it, part of it, or come to hang out and bask in the peace. We invite you to come with your own deepest intention for yourself, your community, & our planet. There are plenty of chairs to sit on in case sitting on the ground is difficult for you.
The meditation is a simple, 30 minute, silent meditation followed by a “Sound Bath.” Feel free to say Om, Ong, God, Allah, Ma, Yeah, or any other sound or mantra that resonates deeply within yourself. This part of the MedMob is super fun, impactful, and sounds amazing!
MedMob is a Global Flash Mob Mediation Movement unifying to expand positivity to every walk of life. Every meditator comes with their own deepest intention for themselves, their community, and the world.
MedMobs happen in highly visible places with the intention of exposing and inviting the world to the benefits of meditation and collective prayer. The collective unification of intent and prayer has been proven by numerous studies to increase personal health and lower crime in big cities.

Only by the Wise
Posted by: | CommentsI reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.

Thanks… taking
Posted by: | CommentsHere is some art I made… it’s my personal tradition to share this every year!
It’s not to be negative rather it is positive & empowering to see through the distortion of truth & how these distortions shape our assumptions about life & the world. Once we begin to shift our attention away from the propaganda machines which shape our minds to look around with our own eyes, then we have a chance to find ourselves. Hence begin to build a new world not based on conquering & imperialism but on the fact that all life is intrinsically CONNECTED & when this is realized we can be truly THANKFUL*
Let’s build a new culture, not built on conquering & imperialism, but one built on harmony, love & compassion.

Prajnaparamita Mantra ~ Yangjin Luma
Posted by: | CommentsCute song :) … it’s the Prajñaparamita Mantra*
A “Yangjin Luma”, is a legendary woman from Tibet, sings out the voice of Heaven, the voice of earth and the voice of your heart. Yangjin Lamu, in Tibetan language, means the Divine Lady with beautiful voice, the Lady of wisdom and art. Yangin Lamu is not only a Tibetan Cultural ambassador but also one of the founders of Cheezheng Group. For many times She introduced Tibetan culture in international conferences held in Japan, Korea and Beijing
The Prajnaparamita Mantra’s literal meaning:
“Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone utterly beyond, Enlightenment hail!”
The mantra is a snippet from the Heart Sutra, a central text for many zen Buddhists & other Mahayana Buddhists.
