I like wandering among the stalls at Boudha, Kathmandu. The place is packed with pilgrims from Tibet. They walk around the stoupa brushing the hundreds of prayer wheels embedded in the walls with their hands in a strangely hypnotic circle dance.

Enthused by compassion and wisdom / Today in Buddha’s presence / I generate the mind of compassion / For the benefit of all sentient beings. / For as long as space remains / And as long as sentient beings remain / Until then may I too remain / To dispel the suffering of all beings… by Shantideva Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal When we are surrounded by suffering everywhere in the world, we lose our sensitivity to it. Through ignorance of mind we inflict pain and suffering on others. It is important to let suffering touch us. We may look at suffering only outside ourselves and forget to look within our own country, home and self. There is a level of suffering which is part of being alive or having a body. Also, we must realize the suffering of mind. / If compassion arises out of the awareness of suffering, and if suffering is so pervasive, why then is the world not a more compassionate place? When we look at our own experience, we discover that our hearts are not open to suffering and pain. We resist it, and in that resistance we close our hearts to compassion. If compassion is to arise, we must open to pain and allow it to enter in. But we allow our lives to be conditioned to the avoidance of pain and emotions analogous to physical pain, such as loneliness. Our lives are fragmented when we are not willing to embrace the shadow side of pain and suffering. We must learn to be compassionate, open to such feelings. This is essential if we are to come to wholeness. The more we resist, the more we feed what we resist. / What prevents us from being open? The basic ignorance of thinking, acting and believing that happiness can be found if we amass the right pleasures. We have all experienced many pleasant things in life, but have they brought us happiness? There is nothing wrong in pleasant experiences. It is the craving that is wrong. The craving mind seeks pleasant feelings; but feelings come and go; they are never really satisfying. This creates an endless cycle. The very cycle of craving is the cause of suffering. Craving says that we are not complete…

The portrait of old woman at the Kathmandu’s Pashupatinath hospice, where have-nots will get and waiting till they die for the free cremation… / / A candy-colored clown they call the sandman / Tiptoes to my room every night / Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper / “Go to sleep. Everything is all right.” I close my eyes, Then I drift away / Into the magic night. I softly say / A silent prayerLike dreamers do. / Then I fall asleep to dream My dreams of you. In dreams I walk with you. In dreams I talk to you. / In dreams you’re mine. All of the time we’re together / In dreams, In dreams. But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone. / I can’t help it, I can’t help it, if I cry. / I remember that you said goodbye. It’s too bad that all these things, Can only happen in my dreams / Only in dreams In beautiful dreams… Kathmandu, Nepal / November 2009 PENTAX K-7 /
