Exerpted from a post to my journal on Nov. 27

Friday Mom and I went to lunch downtown, then I went over to the Tibet gallery and got a copy of the new book by Lopon Barbara Dubois, who I guess would be my root lama. I also got a picture of the Dalai Lama, a picture of Garchen Rinpoche, the founder of the Buddhist institute north of Prescott, and a cd, Songs of Tara, which you would expect, contains songs and mantras to Green Tara and White Tara.

Night before last I got a little more than four hours of sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and could not get back to sleep. After a night of that little sleep, I usually crash and burn physically and emotionally. While I was doing my usual morning computer stuff though, I imported my new Tara cd onto iTunes and listened to it. It's beautiful and very soothing. I had no meltdown at all yesterday. I don't think that was coincidence

I love His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche and have had a lot of teachings with him. I have always found it beneficial to play cds of his mantras and teachings and those of others, and they always help the energy pf the place. Good for you!
