Thanx Unconditioned that was a nice story

Thanx, intresting indeed

Nice idea hehe, Antwerp is placed on the map also now

Hey fellow Taobums, After reading the thread http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showto...p;hl=relic+tour started by Rex (thanx again Rex for letting the Taobums know about this unique event !!) i was very curious for the Heart Shrine Relic Tour that was going trough Europe. I decided to take the train to the Maitreya Institute in Amsterdam where the tour would pass by 18th and 19th oktober. After reaching Amsterdam (about 2 hours by train from Antwerp) i went straight to my destination (hey its really easy to get diverged in Amsterdam ) where the kind people of the Maitreya Institute gave me a warm welcome and information about the relics and the institute. I wasnt tired or hungry but after removing my coat and shoes and entering the room where the relics where shown i felt strange so my first impulse was to sit down and relax .. so i did. There was a very (very) strong and positive vibe inside the room. I cannot really describe it but that moment i instantly knew: hey this is the real deal ! After 10 minutes of yust sitting down and looking around i went round the table where the Heart Shrine Relics where displayed. It wasnt that big .. one room with one big table where many relics been displayed behind plastic cases. In the middle there was a statue of Buddah and the whole table was nicely decorated, aswell as the whole room. I walked around the table starting with the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha and from there went from the older towards the more modern relics. Its unbelievable really, seeing these relics of long gone (and more recent) spiritual masters leaves a big impression i can assure you. I noticed several people that entered and went straight to the relics .. who yust started crying and let loose all there emotion. It was beautifull actually. After going round the table you had the possibility to offer all your negative emotions, karma etc to the Buddah and all other masters represented. Also you could pour water over the small Buddah's head to honor him and ring a gong to offer its sound. When you finished the tour there was the possibility to get blessed by a Lama (over 35 years experience) who did so with a small golden object filled with several relics. He did this by putting the object on your head and whispering a mantra in Tibetan. After he took the object away he touched the soft spot on your head and put down the object again while reciting another mantra or prayer. I noticed a person entering the room with he's dog and he asked a blessing for him and he's pet .. the dog didnt really like this though so the lama grabbed the dogs head carefully and placed the object containing the relics on he's head. I never seen a dog get so relaxed so fast hehe. He almost fell asleep and seemed to enjoy the blessing he yust received. There was a place in the same room where you could meditate near the lama but didnt join the people there as i noticed that there where chairs put around the relic table. Ive been so rude to occupy the chair that was about half a meter away from the relics of Shakyamuni Buddah and stayed there in a meditative state for i cant remember how long. It was getting dark when i finally thanked and greeted the lama, the people of the institute and the relics and walked outside filled with an intense feeling of compassion and bliss. If the Heart Shrine relic Tour Passes by somewhere near you, certainly do not hesitate to drop by as you most likely will not forget it soon. Regards and blessings to all !

Thanx alot for the positive response guys glad to hear other people also had good (great even) experiences with the Heart Shrine Tour. Do tell others !!! Rex, for me getting the pictures was a small obstacle .. the lama and the people of the institute gave me permission to take them so i was like thank you thank you. When i arrived back home afterwords everything went well until i opend the sd-card. It was corrupted. Took me a whole day of testing recovery software (downloaded and tested about 15 programs) until i finally gave up. I was quit dissapointed as i would of loved to keep atleast the Buddah and the Milarepa pictures the thought that i visited in real life was comforting but still it would be pitty .. A few hours later i gave it a last shot and asked a friend of me who said he had a good recovery program but only on mac .. he tried it and tadaa finally got lucky After you arrived all the hassle dissolved you said, nicely put as that seemed indeed what happend .. all crap dissolving, a true blessing ! As Cheya said: you get a nice glow hehe. Regards !

Go to your docter ! He can do a simple test to see if you have or are developing diabetes. Nothing to directly panic about but always better to know early on. Others signs can be: drinking (thirst) and peeing alot ! problems with your feet or toes (or other extremities) due to lesser blood circulation in that area (tingling ?) and also hypoglycemia .. when hungry: dizzyness, low blood pressure, minor trembling wich stops quickly after intake of sugar. Recognise these ?

Thanx hehe, i put a link in Sean's original thread referring to this book. Nice job

WHOA thanx Stigwaerd been so kind to honor this article in a PDF @ http://www.thetaobums.com/FREE-Ebook-Neiye...tion-t7196.html

Like standing up in a completely filled bus for an old and gray lady and being yelled at: Hey i have 2 legs retard, i can stand on my own. Im like: euh ok, was yust trying to be polite madam.

Hey mwight, i have the exact (!) same view, nice you describe this subject so clearly. I enjoyed reading this post, its a bit of an affirmation hehe. Gonna check your practice discussion. Cheers.

A possibility is the person's toxins gets brought to the surface or energetic blockages being resolved.

Thanx Lin, nice article i enjoyed reading. Cannot agree more. Ive been told alot about simplicity by my grandma who lived true world war 1 and 2. Aswell several friends of me who came from Bosnia and Jugoslavia after the war. They simply didnt had another option so they learned to be happy with less and to be inventive with what they had. Regards, Mike

Lemmings ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming says they dont do this consciously hehe. Funny creatures.

Does anyone have more information about a set of exercises apparently originating from the WU style of taijiquan ? A neikung set containing 12 yin and 12 yang exercises and is said that when the 12 yin exercises are practiced for 3 months together with sexual abstinence that one can stand a jump on the belly by someone standing at great hight. Any info or reference would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards. edit: http://www.vitalarts.co.uk/vas_shop/dvds.htm Yust found a dvd of the exercise but it says currently unavailable, i emailed the person for more info

Welcome ! About the dream you had, could it be a reflection of your subconsious on a spirtual or physical cleansing proces wich started in your body due to picking up a meditation practice ? Yust an obvious guess as i dont know alot about the meaning of dreams hehe. Regards
