Does anybody know what it is?

 

Each time my computer tries to access Taobums I see:

 

waiting for prapra.net?

 

Is these hacker? voodoo? whatever?

 

Thank you.

I think somebody is doing black magic to me. If nobody else sees waiting for prapra.net while loading taobums.com

 

then it must be a sort of internet black magic.

 

Note that the site has a title named "I am"

 

This probably means to suggest to me that I am like that skull.

 

What do you think?

 

This page always loads in the background before taobums.com

I think it's Sean's website...he is the guy who owns/runs this forum. I see it when the site is loading as well, so don't worry.

OK, so that's what it is. Why did he put a skull?

It's called a splash page. Why the skull? Why not the skull? It has a third eye.

OK, I was just worried only I saw waiting for prapra.net

But well my imagination is vivid.

Yep. Sean & Leslie's domain/server,

and that skull is Sean's art from some time back.

Nothing hokey, just spiritual artists.

 

In eastern traditions the skull / skeleton is often representative of a couple of things:

1. Impermanence, a reminder that this body dies and so encouragement to do spiritual practice.

2. The experience of Emptiness, as so much of what we once identified as our "self" temporarily disappears from our experience. Often the artistic expression is a dancing skeleton.

The Buddhist Sutra of Mindfulness speaks about the meditation on the corpse: meditate on the decomposition of the body, how the body bloats and turns violet, how it is eaten by worms until only bits of blood and flesh still cling to the bones, meditate up to the point where only white bones remain, which in turn are slowly worn away and turn into dust. Meditate like that, knowing that your own body will undergo the same process. Meditate on the corpse until you are calm and at peace, until your mind and heart are light and tranquil and a smile appears on your face. Thus, by overcoming revulsion and fear, life will be seen as infinitely precious, every second of it worth living.
