I may write something on this later today or tomorrow when I have the time, but first I have to ring the spacious bell and call the rabbits to knowledge dinner. We're having German potatoes today.<br /><br />As to whether you should know me, please be advised that I am a useless person and it is probably best if you steer clear of me.Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17607443504553459238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31865608.post-63439513122586199042009-09-20T21:24:12.320+08:002009-09-20T21:24:12.320+08:00Dear Tulku Tenpa-la,
I don't even know if you...Dear Tulku Tenpa-la, <br />I don't even know if you personally read the comments nor do I know who else might read them, but I feel the need to communicate with you. I have had a connection with rabbits for about 30 years now, which has in recent years developed into the sudden appearance of rabbits in auspicious places. For example, when I checked into my hotel in Bethlehem, PA, last year to year HH the Dalai Lama's teachings on Je Tsongkapa's _Lam Rim Chen Mo_, I opened my curtain, looked outside and there was a rabbit. On the first day that I arrived at the monastery in Nepal where I have spent most of the past year, there were several young monks in the courtyard playing with a rabbit. In a couple of instances, I have seen rabbits (or pictures of rabbits) after having made a difficult decision. Most recently, when I was unwrapping my newly acquired thangka of Guru Rinpoche, the page of the Kathmandu Post that had been used had and article about rabbits and several large full color pictures of rabbits. My teacher's basic take on these things (if I may summarize) is "don't get distracted by the magic." And I honor and appreciate that advice. But I'm just curious about you and whether I should know you... You can find me at my (not very well maintained) website: www.wideworldhome.net<br />May you be blessed with long life and all the causes of true happiness. <br />DBD Birdwellhttp://www.wideworldhome.netnoreply@blogger.com
