Telepathy, the direct transmission of thoughts from one person to another, is a fun psychic skill to practice. It’s is something we can practice, well, this is my telepathy-communication-messaging-system, How it works, put both your hand on the hands in the picture, think of the loved one you would like to send a message to, consentrate, meditate, and press enter, and there your message will fly in a letter form to the person on the recieving end. Try it it really works. In short this would be called TCMS a more advanced method than SMS. /

His Eminence Garchen Triptrul Rinpoche is a Drikung Kagyu lama who was known in the thirteenth century as the Siddha Gar Chodingpa, a heart disciple of Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon, founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. In ancient India, he had incarnated as Mahasiddha Aryadeva, the lotus-born disciple of the great Nagarjuna. In the seventh century, he was known as Lonpo Gar, the minister of the Tibetan Dharma King Songtsen Gampo. His present emanation appeared in 1936 in eastern Tibet and was recognized and enthroned by the former Drigung Kyabgon Zhiwe Lodro. At the age of seven Rinpoche was brought to Lho Miyal Monastery. There, in a room full of status, he was asked to identify his lama. Pointing to a statue of Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon, he said, “He is my lama.” Thus, he was recognized as the true holder of the Garchen throne. From the age of eleven, Garchen Rinpoche lived at and administered this monastery. Studying and practicing under the direction of the Siddha Chime Dorje, he received vast and profound instructions on the preliminary practices (ngondro), the fivehold practice of mahamudra and the six yogas of Naropa. Then, at the age of twenty-two, after completing a two and a half year retreat, he was imprisoned for twenty years during the political turmoil of China’s Cultural Revolution. While in the labor camp, Rinpoche received all Dzogchen teachings and meditation instruction from his root lama, the Nyingma Khenpo Munsel, Enduring hardship and practicing secretly, Garchen Rinpoche realized the lama’s inconceivable wisdom mind. His accomplishment was greatly impressed by his teacher and praised by this teacher that there is no doubt that Rinpoche is the actual emanation of a great Bodhisattva. Since his release from prison in 1979, Garchen Rinpoche has made great effort to rebuild the Drikung Kagyu monasteries of eastern Tibet and to reestablish the precious Dharma teachings there. He is presently involved in the establishment of a monastic college at Gar Monastery and two boarding schools for the children of nomadic families. He is also engaged in a variety of projects to restore Gar Monastery to its former glory. In the United States, Rinpoche has recently established Ari Gar Zangchup Choling and Drikung Mahayana Centers for the teaching and practice of the buddhadharma. His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, “a great Drikung Kagyu yogi of the present time” praised by His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche and is respected by many Tibetan lamas as a pure and realized master. An accomplished practitioner of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. Rinpoche’s radiant presence inspires and delights students as the loving mother gathers her children close with sheltering, loving, encouraging, admonishing, laughing, inviting, prodding, teaching, reminding, singing… Always Rinpoche seemed to teach that specific meaning for which one’s own heart yearned. And always his teachings and his example were both brilliantly inspiring and deeply satisfying – showing us the ideal, giving us skillful means by which to realize it. Through teachings on Nature of Mind and Mahamudra, the Vajra Songs of Milarepa, limitless aspiration prayers offered for all beings, Tummo and Guru Yoga practices, the Refuge and Bodhisattva lay ordinations, and teachings on Bodhisattva activity through cultivating the Four Immeasurables and the Thirty-Seven Bodhisattva Practices, Rinpoche poured out the lineage nectar: devotion, compassion, Muhamudra. It is a very rare opportunity in samsaric lives to meet a genuine Bodhisattva/Buddha. To be able to serve an authentic teacher who can guide us on the unmistaken Dharma Path, it is not only due to the cause and condition from our past accumulated merits, the future is also depend on the cause and condition of what we do in this life. We should all preserve this precious human life and such rare opportunity to keep to our hearts of dharma practices and develop the faith toward the authentic dharma teachers.

A few days ago I read artist Rosa Cobos´s Tarot:Mirror and SoulPathway. Needless to say, I left fascinated and felt the urgent need to recreate one of the Tarot cards; I chose “The Hanged” _ and still don´t know why. / Once I completed the image I sent it to Rosa, and this is what she sent back to me. The Hanged. / Text By Rosa Cobos / Supreme quietness… / submmission to the unavoidable. / I would love to sustain my strength in that light, / so temping and methodic. / It is supposed to drag me out of the pit, / illuminate my ciborg-like entrails, / but I am not listening to any shinning voices.. / repting voluptuously up to heaven. / I need to root… mind and heart.. / I need to let my thoughts… images and ego / rot… like the fallen leaves, / I need to close my phantom eyes… / that seem to see beyond the unseen. / But they do not. / Resisting to meet the real void, / the entralis assembly of twisted conducts. / I have walked a long journey to become still.. / bruising my kneess.. / until I got to the Supreme Cave of desillussion. / I need to darken my skin, / white marbled, resisting to rust, oxidize…. / the blood that is sucking from the acid vegetation. / No one will tresspass my threshold of meditation. / On one… / not even myself, / for I need to forget, / the name, / the rank, / the place.. / where .. / as a young soldier, / I had been fighting, / the eternal war. Rosa Thank you, my dear Rosa

In the land of the Water Balloon People, Joe realized the instant the spikey plant was thrown that this would be his last practical joke.
by redtreeAfter a few miss timed shots, I was amazed at how straight forward photographing popping water balloons were. I only got wet once. Although I couldn’t see them, I could hear my neighbours laughing when I spent 30 minutes jumping up and down to get the right body and clothing shape. The rest is lots of fiddling in photoshop. I hope you like it. Greeting Cards / Framed Print / All shots were taken with a Canon 5D, 24-70mm at 57mm, f/16, 1/125 sec, ISO 100. No filters used. Studio Lights set to 1/32.
