A Brief History of Sakya Monastery

Alexander Berzin, 1991, expanded September 2003

 

Original version published in "Sakya Monasteries." Chö-Yang, Year of Tibet Edition (Dharamsala, India), (1991).

 

In the Manjushri Root Tantra (‘Jam-dpal rtsa-rgyud), Buddha had prophesied that a Sakya Monastery would cause his teachings to flourish in the Land of Snows. The site of this monastery was also prophesied by Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava (Gur-ru Rin-po-che Pad-ma ‘byung-gnas). Several stupas had already been built at the monastery’s future location, when Atisha (Jo-bo-rje dPal-ldan A-ti-sha) (982-1053) stopped there in 1040. He saw on the mountainside a syllable "Hrih," seven "Dhih," and one "Hung," and prophesied that an incarnation of Avalokiteshvara, seven of Manjushri, and one of Vajrapani would grace this site.

 

In 1073, Konchog-gyelpo (dKon-mchog rgyal-po) (1034-1102) of the Kon (‘Khon) family established the Pelden Sakya Monastery (dPal-ldan Sa-skya dGon-pa) in Tsang (gTsang) province of Central Tibet. The monastery, and subsequently the tradition he founded, derived its name from the color of the soil of its location. "Sakya" means literally "gray earth."

Thanks to everyone for visiting ...

Good night or day! :)

It has been a very long time since I have dressed up for anything. My life has become far more casual and my daily wardrobe consists of comfortable clothes - fitness wear, t-shirts, jeans, etc. Do you like the trend toward casual wear or do you miss dressing up?

#FaceOfCalendarGuys2020

 

Tomorrow is the #MRSL2020 Grand Finale and I can’t believe it! It feels like a long time coming, but so fast at the same time!

 

And. What. A. Journey. It. Has. Been. I am probably the happiest I’ve ever been living my Second Life during these past months competing. Never been this creatively challenged & pushed to be better every single time. And coming with zero experience makes it that much more thrilling for me to see & compare where I am now. Who would’ve thought that CHASE could be an actual blogger, taking fancy pictures and walking down runways in fancy clothes?! *AND* I made such amazing friends along the way! All thanks to this competition and MISS SL Organization

 

As cliche as it may sound, for me, this really does show that if you open yourself up to new challenges, new people and allow yourself to learn from them, you really are able to GROW. So whatever the result, it really becomes secondary to just that. A crown to go with it will be icing on the tastiest ice cream peanut butter cake in the tri-state area 😋

 

So wish me luck guys! The photo is a recap of all my looks, BUT, we’re gonna be presenting 3 more in the finale: National Costume, Swimwear (uuulala) & Formalwear! GET EXCITED YALL 🔥🙈🙌 SATURDAY 10am SLT ❤️💕

All other #MRSL2020 outfits in my album

The world outside never stopped moving, but in this moment, time belonged only to us.

 

No music needed. No audience to applaud. Just your heartbeat against mine, quiet promises exchanged without a single word. Beneath the golden lights and elegant halls, we found a place where every embrace felt like home.

 

Some love stories aren't remembered because they were loud they're remembered because they were unforgettable.

We were honored to be able to attend the wedding of Reign Congrejo and Bryson Capalini, my beloved parents.

 

Mom and Dad, May the love you share today grow stronger as you grow old together. Best wishes on this wonderful journey, as you build your new lives together. May the years ahead be filled with lasting joy. Congratulations to both of you on your special day

 

Dressed for the kind of evening where every detail matters. A quiet dining room, a perfectly tailored suit, and an atmosphere made for slow conversations and unforgettable nights.

I have the honor and pleasure to showcase a very special designer in my SL life. Sascha’s Designs was my 1st exposure to formal gowns in Second Life and also one of my 1st sponsors for my talk show, Ambrosia LIVE back in 2011.

 

Her commitment to excellence in elegance, beautiful detailing and amazing customer service has made Sascha’s the go to for Formalwear and other fashions, including Bridal wear.

 

The exquisitely styled 2021 August gown in Aqua comes with a variety of skirts, taking your gown from a straight mermaid shape to a full Gossamer train befitting any sophisticated gala.

 

She has given Finessed Fashionista an exclusive for this beautiful gown that will be available for Sascha’s Members on August 1, 2021. What a gorgeous way to start the month!

Some games are won with luck. Others are won with confidence. Dressed for the occasion, cards in hand, and never revealing the next move. A little mystery, a little elegance, and just enough risk to keep things interesting.

Success is often imagined as loud celebrations and endless applause.

 

The truth is quieter. It's the long nights, impossible choices, and moments spent alone with nothing but your thoughts. The champagne isn't for showing off it's a reminder of every challenge that led to this seat. Some people inherit a throne. Others build one.

Others become a throne when confidence takes a seat.

In the realm of high fashion, every movement tells a story, and with the Mala Animation Set, I embrace my narrative with grace, elegance, and a touch of fierceness. These animations are more than poses—they are moments captured in time, a celebration of subtlety and strength.

 

Refining the Art of Elegance: As I don this stunning black and red formal Asteria Grace gown, its satin finish draping effortlessly over my figure, the Mala Animation Set enhances every curve, every fold, and every nuance of its mermaid silhouette. The four static poses, complemented by mirrored versions, allow me to exude stillness with intention. Each subtle breath, every delicate sway, brings life to the ensemble, embodying the perfect harmony between demure sophistication and captivating allure.

 

Empowered in Every Movement: The set offers four breathing-only stands that elevate the essence of natural beauty. My movements, though understated, convey a sense of confidence that commands the room. Paired with four animated poses, I can transition seamlessly between standing tall in regal composure to a fluid elegance that captivates my audience—whether on the runway or in the spotlight of a formal event.

 

Versatility Meets Style: From the understated movements in casual showcases to the commanding poise needed for high-fashion editorials, the Mala Animation Set adapts effortlessly. For this Asteria "Grace" Gown, the poses highlight its dramatic red bow, the sleek gloves, and the Bauhaus hat tilted just so. These animations ensure that every detail—from the lace to the sheen of satin—becomes a focal point.

 

A Model’s Essential Companion: In fashion modeling, there are times when less is more. The Mala Animation Set offers subtle hand gestures, impeccable leg placement, and refined expressions that speak volumes without saying a word.

 

Whether you're reflecting elegance in formalwear or embracing the boldness of edgy designs, this set is your silent ally in making a lasting impression.

✧ The Passion Gown — Elegance That Seduces ✧

 

The Passion Gown by Just BECAUSE is not simply formalwear—it is a story of desire draped in satin, a celebration of elegance sharpened with an intoxicating edge.

 

Cut & Silhouette

 

The Passion Gown embodies the trumpet silhouette: fitted through the bust, waist, and hips, then gradually flaring at the lower thigh into a soft, dramatic hem. This graceful flourish adds movement and grandeur without sacrificing the sleek sophistication of its body-skimming design.

 

♥ A silhouette that elongates and flatters

♥ Graceful flare at the floor—subtle, not theatrical

♥ Optional tea-length toggle for a chic, playful variation

 

Styling & Details

 

Every seam is an invitation, every drape a whisper. The gown’s satin finish catches light in ripples, sculpting your curves in a play of shadow and shimmer.

 

• Corset-inspired bodice shaping the bust with quiet strength

• Intricate beadwork caresses the breasts, cradling them like a lover’s hands while tracing a glimmering path across the décolletage

• Fluid bias-cut lines recalling 1930s Hollywood glamour

• Includes coordinated high heels, completing the look from head to toe

 

PBR Innovation & Scene Design

 

The Passion gown fully embraces PBR (Physically Based Rendering) technology, creating a luminous depth and realism in fabric sheen, shadow play, and texture vibrancy. Under the Just BECAUSE Night PBR environment, its color intensifies with cinematic richness—highlights glisten, shadows deepen, and every fold in the gown comes alive with breathtaking realism. It is not just fashion; it is a stage set for seduction.

 

Historical Echoes

 

Channel the glamour of Jean Harlow, the daring allure of Sophia Loren, or the minimalist seduction of Halston’s muses. Passion revives the drama of couture evening gowns while embracing today’s unapologetic confidence.

 

Sultry Allure

 

This is a gown that does more than dress you—

it commands the gaze.

As it flares with each step, as the fabric pools and whispers at your feet, Passion reveals its secret:

• elegance and eroticism entwined in one unforgettable silhouette

Closing Whisper

 

Wear Passion… long or tea-length, beneath the glow of PBR night light— and be the temptation they never forget.

   

The Farmer, a man outstanding in his field but uncomfortable in a shirt and tie.

 

A shirt and tie represent office environments, bureaucracy, and formal institutions—worlds often at odds with the hands-on, weather-bound reality of agricultural life. Wearing formal attire can evoke a sense of being out of one's natural element, signalling obligation, loss of autonomy, or awkward ceremonial duty rather than genuine identity.
