Comment on Monks Create Manjushri Mandala by Wendy Guglieri

While my friends and I plan the monks’ 2 week visit here in Placerville, California in January of 2011, I follow their progress across the country. It fills me with great joy and wonder to know that in sharing their teachings as well as their magnificent love of life and healing with the many thousands of people that they encounter in their journeys, not only do their energies never diminish, but they seem to amplify ten-fold. I wish you well, my friends and teachers, and look forward to seeing you again in January. Many blessing, and Tashi Delek…

My daughter and I were fortunate enough to attend the dissolution ceremony of the sand mandala on Saturday afternoon on July 10th. It was a wonderful experience for both of us, and we’ll never forget the kindness of the monks (spending time helping us with the singing bowls) and utter feeling of peace and tranquility that people in attendance shared.

Hours after the ceremony, I am still feeling the wonderful tranquility and general feeling of well-being. Thank you for sharing with us and the blessings you so freely gave.

Thank you, again, for visiting Grand Junction. We hope to see you again on your next visit. Have a safe rest of the tour, please.

peace and light,
Mitzi

It has been my pleasure to experience the cultural programs that the Monks have brought to our city. Meeting the monks in informal settings has also provided a speical opportunity for personal sharing. Their visit has moved me greatly and encouraged my studies and paractice. The healing service and mandala have been highlights of this tour. Thank to the monks for this treat and deep encounter. I hope other communities will likewise receive these special persons for genuine exchange. My thoughts go with you.

[...] The Bluedot team has been having a lot of fun working on some promotional films for the Gaden Shartse Monastic Tour; a fund raising and outreach program from the tibetan buddhist monastery located in the refugee area of southern India. The footage in this 7:00 introduction was collected from old archival pieces from the monastery, and when we toured with the monks to Aspen Colorado in 2008. [...]

Very nice post, and I know this is a few months down the line, but I wish you a belated congratulations and rejoice!!

I am in the process of preparing to ordain in a couple of years, and am interested in establishing a dialogue with you about ordaination and monastic life, especially with you as a western monastic as well. I look forward to hopefully meeting you in Colorado Springs this summer.

with live in the dharma to you in refuge,

Comment on July Update and 30 Seconds to Mars by Julie

Hello,
The album 30 Seconds to Mars is finally out and the fans have discovered the song on which you participated. Song surprising indeed! We are not accustomed to this kind of sound.
Is it a mantra that you recite? And if so, what is its significance?
Thank you for this beautiful song!

Julie =)
