Headed up to Pasadena to take a covid test today to clear work for Monday. Since I'll be in the neighborhood, I checked out what's going on at the Huntington Library, which is one of my most beloved LA hangouts. The Chinese Garden, the Bonsai collection and the sprawling gardens are staggeringly beautiful all year round, but right now several sections are exploding with blooms. And fortuitous timing! It turns out, they're currently hosting a Garden of Words exhibit. The Calligraphy of Liu Fang Yuan in addition to their permanent exhibits, (most of which are now opening up again). I'll share a few pics later.

Japanese Millenials: Man, the Elders are really dragging us down! Ningen Isu (3 pensioners): Oh yea? Hold our sake! Just straight wall of sound from a 3 piece... and those lyrics. Solid. -

Om Mani Padme Hum and it's profound benefits

We are never separate from source. Perhaps one of my most treasured realizations in life. -
Why do Daoist refuse to accept that nei dan(alchemy) is just another path to achieving samadhi(emptiness). Same way zen, samatha(jhana), kundalini yoga, anapanasati or patanjali yoga. Is it becuz of the energetic manipulation and secrecy?
silent thunder replied to Asher Topaz's topic in Daoist Discussion
One source, many names. One source, many experiences. We all experience from the center of our own awareness. Like the hub of a wheel with many spokes, all paths begin from, rotate about and return to the still void dao. -
Yea, we're blessed to still be here 12 years on and thriving. It's the longest stint we've had in one place by far. Our previous 20 years together were very nomadic.

Figured I'd share a description of my clearing of our last place if anyone's interested. Short version is, using music, chanting (myself and recorded) and then a thorough sage smudge and while 'singing the bowl' with the intention to begin occupying and honoring what has passed. More detailed version follows.

Well said. Awareness is untouched by death, spotless, unbreakable, clarion stillness, vast and well... unnamable simple bliss.
