I found this film "Home" to be incredibly beautiful, disturbing and important for everyone. It's about the ecological state of the world, which is indeed dire. Unquestionably this film should be seen and deeply considered by all people. No one should have the right to say I didn't know. We should all be dedicating to change now, so we can change the future. For if we curse our descendents they shall surely have every right to curse their ancestors. This film is 1.5 hrs long, but very compelling to watch and if taken to heart we can help assure the survival of humanity. It's a vast understatement to say it's worth watching. Please do something to change the future.
The first human lineage-holder of the Dzogchen teaching was the Nirmanakaya Garab Dorje, an emanation of the Buddha Vajrasattva. He was born a son of a royal family in Oddiyana. He showed many special signs that he was not an ordinary child. At age 7 he entered into a philosophical debate with 500 scholars and defeated all of them, without ever having studied himself. Afterwards he meditated on a mountaintop until his 32nd birthday. He received empowerments, instructions and entrustment of the Dzogchen tantras in an instant from Vajrasattva and attained the stage of 'no more learning'. With the help of dakinis he spent three years transcribing the teachings he had received. He meditated and taught for the rest of his life in Sitavana, a famous charnel ground northeast of Bodhgaya. When he died at the source of the Danatika river he offered his Last Testament Three Golden Letters & his body dissolved into immaculate space amid masses of rainbow light.
Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava
The Great Master of Oddiyana; once said: Don't investigate the root of things, Investigate the root of Mind! Once the mind's root has been found, You'll know one thing, yet all is thereby freed. But if the root of Mind you fail to find, You will know everything but understand nothing.

Awaken
Ever attentive to the Radiant Heart of Goodness
From which spring my Guide, Teaching, & Fellowship;
I find one essence awakening before me, all around & within
Now I see love illuminating all, always.
Luminous love is radiant everywhere, for all to know & to be.
This is my healing prayer.
Open to the wonders all around and within us; gazing upon the mysteries in the sky, we face a mystic presence, centered everywhere, circumferenced nowhere.
Thus embracing our own universal journey of ageless wisdom we awaken.
When hearts align that's quite enough,
to lend support & sincere best wishes,
for divine guidance all your days.
True as every heart beat!
- Bhima Noel
Wayfarer, friend, let us travel together. Night is near, wild beasts are about, and our campfire may go out. But if we agree to share the night watch, we can conserve our forces.
Tomorrow our path will be long and we may become exhausted. Let us walk together. We shall have joy and festivity. I shall sing for you the song your mother, wife and sister sang. You will relate for me your father's story about a hero and his achievements. Let our path be one.
Be careful not to step upon a scorpion, and warn me about any vipers. Remember, we must arrive at a certain mountain village.
Traveler, be my friend.
We are dissipating superstition, ignorance and fear. We are forging courage, will and knowledge.
Every striving toward enlightenment is welcome. Every prejudice, caused by ignorance, is exposed.
Thou who dost toil, are not alive in thy consciousness the roots of cooperation and community?
If this flame has already illumined thy brain, adopt the signs of the Teaching of Our mountains.
Thou who dost labor, do not become wearied puzzling over certain expressions. Every line is the highest measure of simplicity. Greeting to workers and seekers!
`Sudden' means ridding yourselves of deluded thoughts' instantaneously.
`Illumination' means the realization that illumination is not something to be attained.
Awake, always, see,
there is only one sky.
Both light & dark,
All clouds are passing.
Here is Ananda Mayi Ma - Divine Mother - A Light to illuminate our hearts! Everyone seeking Wisdom & Compassion should know the Spiritual Flowers who lived in the last century. I keep looking to see where are the true lovers of humanity today? Surely there are some. And yet something tells me it is time that we must be the light & warmth we seek. Bless me my darling souls!
International Space Station crewmembers took advantage of their vantage point to photograph a series of oblique views of the Himalayas looking south from over the Tibetan Plateau. At first glance, one might think that the image looks like a picture taken from an airplane, until you remember that the summits of Makalu [left (8,462 meters; 27,765 feet)] and Everest [right (8,850 meters; 29,035 feet)] are at the heights typically flown by commercial aircraft. The full mosaic covers over 130 kilometers (80 miles) of the Himalayan front, and could never be seen this way from an airplane. This photo was taken on January 28, 2004. Click to enlarge.
