Beijing turns AI against Tibetans worldwide, writes ICT Chairman Richard Gere in the @WSJ “For decades, China’s repression of Tibetans has involved controlling physical space: monasteries, schools, communities… AI threatens to undermine the protection gained from going abroad,” Gere says.

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. 🖋️ Kahlil Gibran, On Talking The Prophet, 1926, 1980, p. 71. 📸 Croagh Patrick, Fatma Mohamed #poetry

All you practitioners, male and female, who wish to realize the faultless and correct point of view, should let your mind rest fully awake in a state of unfabricated emptiness. When your mind is quiet, then rest in that quietness without trying to fabricate anything. ~ Patrul Rinpoche

In temples across Japan each April 8, visitors celebrate Hanamatsuri, the Flower Festival, commemorating the Buddha’s birth. Devotees pour ladles of amacha sweet tea over a small statue of the infant Buddha, reenacting the moment when dragons bathed the newborn with sacred rain. 🧵 🗃️ 📜 #花祭り

"Whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings."

The Circus is Samsara #TADC
Pomni, Jax and Ragatha are in the innermost part of the wheel of samsara. Representing ignorance, malice, and grasping attachment respectively. Outside the wheel the two masks of gangle coorespond to negative and positive perceptions of the Samsara.

Where I'm posting from today
Incredible photo of a Tibetan charnel ground. It is dirty and dust fills the sky. Masses of large vultures stand around as far as can be seen, some stretching their wings in anticipation of the grim feast. A man in red robe and red beanie sits cross legged in front of a rock with an open box of tools and prepares to do what is to be done.
