The Mirror of Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the root of the Dharma.

Mindfulness is the body of practice.

Mindfulness is the fortress of the mind.

Lack of mindfulness will allow the negative forces to overcome you.

Without mindfulness you will be swept away by laziness.

Lack of mindfulness is the creator of evil deeds.

Without mindfulness and presence of mind,

Nothing can be accomplished.

Lack of mindfulness piles up shit.

Without mindfulness you sleep in an ocean of piss.

Without mindfulness you are like a heartless zombie, a walking corpse.

- Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche

The Chain

This image is from a truly moving series made by Taiwanese photographer Chien-Chi Chang. The project, aptly named ‘The Chain’, consists of 48 dual-portraits of psychiatric patients who are quite literally chained together. 700 of these patients live chained in pairs and are forced to work in the largest chicken farm in Taiwan. For more about the series and some more images click on the photo.

A nice day at the church

Homage to Han Shan (an original Dharma Bum)

In my first thirty years of life

I roamed hundreds and thousands of miles.

Walked by rivers through deep green grass

Entered cities of boiling red dust.

Tried drugs, but couldn’t make Immortal;

Read books and wrote poems on history.

Today I’m back at Cold Mountain:

I’ll sleep by the creek and purify my ears.

Broadcasting God and trustworthy articles

For those of you getting bored with mainstream sites like Youtube or Wikipedia, there are alternatives out there.

Godtube, for example, is a fine platform for believers to impose their angry shouting on the world. Watch this entertaining example about addictive behaviour to get a picture.

Finally! Ever been wondering if the information provided on Wikipedia is neutral and objective ? Check out Conservapedia, the only trustworthy encyclopedia on the internet. Here’s an article about drugs for inspection.

100 Moons in 100 Bowls of Water

There are 100 moons reflecting in 100 bowls of water, how amazing

The moon didn’t intend to be reflected 100 times, he simply shines

The bowls were put there for your guests, you didn’t care about the moon
