Pamo 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 From the Exhibition of photos of the land of Tibet: "To see the greatness of the mountains One must keep one's distance. To understand its form One must move around it. To experience its moods One must see it at sunrise and sunset, at noon and at midnight, in sun and rain, in snow and storm...in all seasons. He who can see the mountain like this comes near to the life of the mountain, a life that is as intense and varied as that of a human being." (Lama Anagarika Govanda, The Way of the White Clouds) "One must remain in the vastness, alert and lucid letting one's gaze encompass the infinity of the sky as though seated on a summit of a mountain open to all the horizons." (Shabkar, 1781-1851) "In the land where celestial powers are revered, where animals are partners in life's struggle, where birds fly without fear, where fish swim in freedom, where wildlife is protected, where men and women cherish inner peace and outer freedom." (old Tibetan song) "May the rain fall at a proper time. May the harvest and animals always be beautiful. May there be freedom from illness, famine and weapons. May all living beings be well, happy and peaceful." (A Prayer Flag Text) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
