9th Mock Up

I know there's been a long silence on the book that we are working on, well there wasnt much time for writing, other than on the book itself.
Just a short note to say that we are currently on the 9th mock up of the book and Khun Pui is here in Thimphu to work on it.
And a small picture which she took from Tsali Gompa, opposite Changjiji, of a Rakshasa with a skull cap leading the divine horse Balaha waiting to escort Guru Rinpoche to Zangdok Palri.
Cant hardly wait for the book to be out and to get to actually feel it...lol yes I LOVE books rather than a Kindle or IPad.

You

Crowded bustling street,
weaving through, they push
All these emotions,
Jar against my nerves
Yet a face stands out
Alone amidst the ocean
You, it is always you
And yet you remain only an apparition
a creation of my mind
The reality of you
is far from the memories
left behind.

A spiritual teacher

He is the great vessel that carries beings across the ocean of life;
He is the unerring captain who guides them to the land of liberation;
He is the rain that extinguishes the fire of passion.
Like the brilliance of the sun and the moon,
He rips away the darkness of ignorance;
The weight of good and evil at the same time.
Like a father and a mother, he loves all beings with the same love.
A great river of compassion,
A mountain soaring above all earthly concerns,
Unshaken by the winds of emotion,
To make any connection with him,
Whether by seeing him,
Hearing his voice,
Remembering him or being touched by his hand will lead us towards liberation.
To have full confidence in him is the best way to progress towards enlightenment.
The warmth of his wisdom and compassion will melt the ore of our being
And release the gold of Buddha-nature within.
