Added 2024-10-06 22:11:41 +0000 UTCBeen feeling a little down lately, and when I do I usually turn to a text like the Bardo Thodol--the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I'm not a Buddhist, but their spirituality contains a certain logic that can calm the mind in troubled times. Take for example this excerpt from 'The Prayer for Refuge From All Terrors of the Between':
Now when I suffer by the power of negative evolution,
May the Archetype Deities dispel that suffering!
When reality crashes with a thousand thunders,
May they all become OM MANI PADME HUM!
Enjoy my big buddha belly :) your usually scheduled content resumes tomorrow...
