I just finished reading "The Only Way Out Is In" by Anthony "Prem" Carlisi

very good book, and he has the best sense of humor too.

Here is an excerpt that I found to be very true and it made me think too....

The Secret behind Asana, if used correctly, is that it shows us how to go beyond the physical. We can transcend it only when we go thoroughly into it. For those of you who are stuck doing asana primarily as an exercise, I'm sorry to say are making an "Ass-ana" out of themselves.

How true is that?!!

Carry on~~

Ticket arrived today! I am halfway there!!!

Am I feeling good??? No...I am feeling GREAT!

Happy Saturday~~~~

Namaste~

OM MANI PADME HUM

Another idea for a gift......

For Prayer Wheels and mantras of various kinds Tantricheartwheels welcomes you!

This site contains information on acquiring prayer wheels and the microfilmed mantras to be wound inside them. We have Om Mani Padme Hum mantras, the 7-Line prayer of Padmasambhava, the Medicine Buddha mantra and now recently (as of January 2007) the Green Tara mantra -Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha. All on microfilm. Why microfilm? Because according to the lineage text on prayer wheels the more mantras that are wound inside the more powerful the prayer wheel. Microfilm is the best technology because it reduces the written mantra with clarity-retaining the integrity of the script. Also according to the lineage text the mantras inside a prayer wheel "must face outwards" and microfilm is the best technology that follows these guidelines set by enlightened beings. (For microfilm mantras only go to the 'Contact Us' page then click on the sub-link titled 'Mantra reels'."To benefit sentient beings, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas manifest in the prayer wheel to purify all our negative karmas and obscurations and to cause us to actualize the realizations of the path to enlightenment." Lama Zopa Rinpoche Unique Prayer Wheel Pendants Available!Carry Om Mani Padme Hum-the mantra of the Compassion Buddha with you... over your heart. (The Medicine Buddha mantra and [ultimate in protection] the 7-Line Prayer of Padmasambhava are available too.)Inside each prayer (Mani) wheel pendant below is a roll of microfilm of over 1 million Om Mani Padme Hum mantras from an original we obtained from the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.The Om Mani Padme Hum mantra is unique in its incredible potency in purifying karma and accelerating enlightenment realizations. Known by advanced yogis and Dharma masters to enhance siddhis (spiritual powers) it helps to uplift others from lower states, accumulate merit (good karma) and actualize the wisdom to realize enlightenment.These sterling silver mani-wheel pendants are easily spun. With a flick of the finger they whir like a mini-tornado radiating blessings. Spinning a prayer wheel while intoning Om Mani Padme Hum imbues you and your surroundings with the expansive luminosity of Pristine Interconnected Non-duality. This is another way of saying that while spinning a prayer wheel you are practicing a profound Dharmic path that will help you realize the true essence of your natural mind - unlimited cognizance free of solidifications. At the heart of this Dharma practice is the ACCUMULATION OF MERIT (good karma) and the BLOSSOMING OF WISDOM. Prayer wheel pendants this powerful bestow extensive compassionate benefits to those openhearted enough to reap their fortunate karma. THE POWER OF OM MANI PADME HUMOm Mani Padme Hum is a potent mantra attuned to the resonating frequency of the subtle light body of human beings. This is different than the western idea of prayer. This mantra is a sacred word or primordial resonance that is used as an activating tool to take one out of conceptual habits and into the NOW of spontaneous presence. Thought-free Wakefulness. Like a tuning fork that causes other tuning forks of the same key to vibrate, the resonating frequency of Om Mani Padme Hum harmonizes with the spiraling DNA rainbow body of light that is our own inner galaxy of freewheeling chakras of pure awareness!
