during the winter months, 5 times a month, the women of this village pray to Tara, a tibetan goddess. this involves one day of only prayers, one day of no speaking and no eating and a final day of only prayers again. Each time a different woman in the village plays host. I was very lucky to be here when it happened - had never heard of it.

This morning we received a call from my brother-in-law. My niece, Kenadie, has been having a major seizure. So far it has lasted more than an hour and she has been life-flighted to a major hospital. The plea is simple: Please, if you can spare a moment say a prayer for my niece. She will be three on the 19th.

Tibetan Prayer Flags are a quintessential aspect of Tibetan Buddhism. They are used to bless the surrounding countryside and for other purposes. Prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bon, which predated Buddhism in Tibet.
The Indian Sutras, originally written on cloth banners, were transmitted to other regions of the world as prayer flags. Legend ascribes the origin of the prayer flag to the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose prayers were written on battle flags used by the devas against their adversaries, the asuras.The legend may have given the Indian bhikku a reason for carrying the heavenly banner as a way of signifying his commitment to ahimsa. This knowledge was carried into Tibet by 800 CE, and the actual flags were introduced no later than 1040 CE, where they were further modified. The Indian monk Atisha (980 – 1054 CE) introduced the Indian practice of printing on cloth prayer flags to Tibet and Nepal.
There are two kinds of prayer flags: horizontal ones, called Lung ta ("Wind Horse") , and vertical ones, called Darchor ( "flagstaff").Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five: one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order: blue, white, red, green, and yellow. The five colors represent the elements and the Five Pure Lights. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana. Blue symbolizes the sky and space, white symbolizes the air and wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. According to Traditional Tibetan medicine, health and harmony are produced through the balance of the five elements.
Spent the day with the Dalai Lama in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Inspiring. Humbling. Tragically beautiful person. He's lost everything: close to a million of his people have been violently eradicated, his culture and traditions are being systematically erased; he cannot return home. If the Chinese government has its way, he will be the last Dalai Lama, ending perhaps a thousand years of living history. Yet, through all this, he continues to insist that we show loving kindness to all beings. Aging and frail - yet radiant, he travels the world with his welcoming words. "Everyone has the potential to find happiness - through altruism. Just be warm and loving toward each other." As we were leaving, His Holiness was walking off stage and the crowd was quiet with respect. From the back, as loud as she could, yelled a young child. "Good-Bye Dalai Lama!!" It wasn't disrespectful, it wasn't rude. It was the way she would call out to a favorite grandpa. He laughed out loud, turned around, big smile, clasped his hands in front of his heart and bowed to her. I couldn't help to think her words potentially prophetic or ironic and it made me ill. May the world know our Dalai Lama to be in good health for many years to come and may new generations be blessed with his incarnations so they too may be blessed with loving kindness. This is my prayer...
Each person in church this morning was given a coloured label and invited to write the name of someone they wished to pray for and hang it on this tree. This is before the service started - there were well over a hundred later. We were particularly asked to think of those who do not know Christ

Thanks for stopping by. Feedback is great!
These are the prayer wheels that line the outside of the Buddhist Stupas in Nepal. They have the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum written on them. These ones are from the Swayambhunath Stupa.
