- In the Charnel GroundsI sat in the dark, playing and singing along with everyone, on this Dakini Day. What a pleasure and joy to share in this practice with you all! In my mind i could see the vultures flying swooping down to the chopped up bodies of the sky burial.... now as my awareness, swooping and chopping, flinging the bits of my own body into the skull cup. (Do not be concerned you flesh eating birds! Your share is here too! There is plenty to go around! No-being left out!) And as the feast concluded, I brought the tsok remainder outside... just as the sun began to peek over the horizon it's gentle soft light sparkling through the rain wet branches. Thank you!Like
- Diving Into "DAKINI PATH"I woke up with Vajrayogini's mantra echoing in my head and my room glowing with a deep orange light despite the closed blinds. I got out of bed to see a beautiful autumn sunrise, both warm and cold at once. Even in the few moments it took to open the blinds and take pictures, the sunrise shifted, giving way to an ordinary cloudy day. And while the photos are nice, they don't really capture the full expression of the sky or the light in that moment. Ah, Dakini. In the moment you try to grasp at Her, She evaporates. And only you know the taste, unable to explain it in words.
