When you keep a sense of compassion, kindness and love something automatically opens your inner door. With this, you can communicate more easily with people. And that feeling of warmth creates a kind of openness. You discover that all human beings are just like you and is able to relate more easily with them. This gives it a spirit of friendship. Then there is less need to hide things, and consequently, feelings of fear, doubt and uncertainty disperse automatically. ----------------
Al mantener un sentido de la compasión, la bondad y el amor algo se abre automáticamente la puerta de su interior. Con esto, usted puede comunicarse más fácilmente con la gente. Y esa sensación de calor crea una especie de apertura. Usted descubre que todos los seres humanos son como tú y es capaz de relacionarse más fácilmente con ellos. Esto le da un espíritu de amistad. Entonces, hay menos necesidad de ocultar las cosas, y, en consecuencia, los sentimientos de temor, la duda y la incertidumbre se dispersan de forma automática

Happy Earth Day!

According to the latest US Cuba talks, the Human Rights abuse is the only obstacle in the way to lift US-Cuba trade embargo. Americans will not be able to by “Made in Cuba” products until Cuba stops torturing people.

I am the Candle Flame


I am the candle flame for Tibet on high
My country stolen mountains in the sky
Valleys weep your clouds float on by
Freedom taken from me that’s why I cry
Oh mountain trails how I miss your track
My flame burns bright I want you back
Within my soul I yearn my eyes wet
Tibet you were my life ill not forget
Why did you come take my home away?
Even then you didn’t ask I had no say
You stole my heart my spirit all I had
Now here I burn my flame bright but sad
What did I do I ask the question why
For I grow weary to see my land for I die
Here I stand you smile look down on me
Ill fight for you till my death to set you free
So many years i've suffered silent in pain
How I yearn to touch your gentle soil again
To climb to yonder mountain peek above
Once more my spirit to feel of your love

Vigil

Where are you now,
with your palms together,
bowing,
your dark red robes
wrapping the wisdom
of a thousand years,
white knife peaks,
and over six thousand
monasteries?

Your home not your home
and yet your home always,
you wander,
you meditate,
you chant and pray;
you teach, you love,
or you stay
and must keep quiet.

Yet prayer flags still blow
in high Tibetan air,
prayer flags still blow
in the deep dark-eyed hearts
of your people.
There are places
the intruders,
the violators
cannot reach–
places alive with
the smiles and tears
of your lost land.

Red robed ones
with your calm eyes
upon the world,
you who pay homage
to the consciousness
in all things,
you who see far beyond
appearances:
you know past time,
you love past duality,
and yet you cry too.

The mountains of Tibet,
the vast plateaus and
green valleys,
the sky lakes and blue rivers,
the sons and daughters
of this sacred land
know and wait for you,
and for their time
within space and beyond
to be free.
