Thanks to reader and contributor Miriam who sends the below. We’ve covered oddly-Buddhist-seeming bottled water before, but here’s another common example:
As Miriam writes, “Who knew you could drink from the source of enlightenment?”
Breaking, heart-breaking news via CNN. Here’s the link.
These are just the latest two NYC-based Dharma-Burgers from the mighty Sam DeWitt.
As for this one, the Dharma-Burgery goodness is surely unintended, but as Sam says, “I was too chicken to go inside, you never know what might have happened!”
Reader Liam K wrote to send us this a link to this shot, “of what is apparently banksy’s work”:
It sure looks like it. And it’s quite a statement, too.
Thanks, Liam.
(Oh, and while we’re at it, the page that Liam found this on also contains a link to another interesting street piece by someone else.)
Big thanks to reader Amy Leveque, who sends this shot of her Dharma tattoo(s):
As she writes:
“I have 5 tattoos in all. They’ve become more ornate as my practice grew.
“It started with “karma” on my right shoulder, and then it was the peace symbol on my left. Next I got the endless knot. After that I designed my own take on the golden fish. I wanted them to be intertwined in a type of eternity symbol instead of swimming head to head as usually depicted. My latest is Tibetan mantra Om Mani Padme Hum.
“I would eventually like to get all of the eight auspicious symbols. The next will be the lotus. Blue, I think.”
Cool, Amy keep going. And thanks for sending.
…by the way, it should be noted that sometimes the Horse gets emails that, um, take exception with Buddhists getting Buddhist tattoos. Here’s one such example (with name withheld and typos uncorrected):
“just seen your buddha tattoo’s and found that its a big shame to think that you all need tattoos on order for you all to remember your so called faith, Buddhas are pure and im supprised you dont think it is so disrespectful to put buddhas pure images on bodies that at some point get dirty, smelly and sweaty, you should all have more respect and faith.”
OK. So that’s one such opinion. But what do YOU think?
“Green Dharma: A Book to Challenge Your Practice” is a new book by Georg and Brenda Feuerstein.
It’s available for FREE download HERE.
If you, like the Horse, can’t wait, here’s the MySpace page for Mike Myers’s “The Love Guru,” featuring “His Holiness Guru Pitka.”
And here’s the poster:
From the eagle-eyed Sam DeWitt: “This is from the front page of the NY times of April 29. I imagine that somewhere in the middle the truth lies, but the juxtaposition of these two articles caught my attention.”
Sam also wrote to send this link provided by the formidable folks at The Buddhist Channel: http://www.buddhistchannel.tv/index.php?id=82,6319,0,0,1,0
Does a free B0urma have a chance? Let’s hope so with all we’ve got. And let’s keep on keeping Burma in our hearts as they’re facing yet more hard times.
The entry was even written by Deepak Chopra. Check it out here.
The mighty Sam DeWitt passed this on just now. We didn’t originally post in when it first appeared several weeks back, but Sam is convincing, so here you go:
“You HAVE to watch this video. I am not going to say too much about it, but I found it to be one of the most profound things I have seen. I was in tears by the end. You must watch the whole talk, it is incredible, and you ought to link to it on the Horse. Stay with it, and you will see why it is so intimately connected with the Dhamma. WOW.”
Thanks as always, Sam.
