My Testimonials

February 18, 2008
I'm so truly grateful for Yeshe's loving support and friendship in my life! He is a real anchor for me in this stormy world...and a party just isn't the same without Yeshe and his classic dance moves!! Sincere and hard working and generous and real, considerate and compassionate with a flair for style and grace, you make me smile from the inside everytime I see you! I love you Yeshe!!!

Simply put, Yeshe is wonderful. Every time I see him and share a hug, I feel goodness. ~!~

what a disgrace to all the monks this cosmic trickster was...and thank zen for that! if he were never kicked out of the monastary, we may never have been so graced with his truly jewel-like presence...a bodhisattva with a seductive glance-- teaching us to walk tip-toe on the tightrope of inner journey while laughing at the deathly fall should we slip...and he knows how to wear a slip with feminine flair. if you haven't met him, you must. if you haven't had your lips tickled by his fu-man chewbedo, your loss. if your not doing the yeshe-twist with your lover, then all your tantric dreams have not been fully real-eyesed.
i truly cannot imagine having gone through life without ever having known this quite fictional character who slipped into reality through the letters of sacred text.

...Powerful, magical, raw masculine grace.... a vessel of light...
like a lone ancient watchtower on a foggy night, Yeshe brightens the waters for those who are lost in the sea of illusion... bringing them into to drink from his unconditional cup of wisom an truths, wrapping them in his warm glowing blanket of immortality mystery, and unconditional love......
tending the sweet orchards of humanity and animal alike.... He sees, he cares, he offers... an ancient gift from heaven above...

When I think of the word "beautiful, " this wonderous soul comes to mind! Without fail, whenever Yeshe enters my field of vision, a smile creeps across my lips and then fills my soul with joy until I giggle with gratitude. Yeshe is so genuine and alive there's no way he can contain it... and I'm so glad he doesn't try. And has anyone ever looked so good in a cowboy hat?! Thank you for sharing, you're an inspiration.

about me
You are Loved

If you want to know how to heal, and how to become
a healing presence on this Earth, there is one simple
way: that is to know that you are loved. =Feel= how
you are loved. Know that you are absolutely worthy of
love. You will never be abandoned, not ever. You
will never be rejected, not for any reason. The love
that the universe has for you is absolutely without
conditions. You do not have to "earn" it. You do not
have to "deserve" it. You do not have to "prove"
anything. Most important of all, you do not have to
doubt your value or importance or worth to this
universe. The universe loves you without conditions,
without qualifications, and without reservations. The
love that the universe has for you is absolutely
unbounded. You can never expand your receptivity to
this love enough -- there will always be a greater love
that you can keep opening to. You are absolutely
worthy and absolutely accepted and loved and valued
and cherished by this universe. This is the essence of
healing.

If you understand and accept that you are totally
worthy and loved without reservation by this universe,
then you will naturally be a channel of this love for
others. If you doubt that you are loved, if you doubt
that you are worthy of love, if you wonder "Do I
deserve to be loved," then you cannot help but have
doubts about other people being worthy of love. If
you feel that you have to "deserve" love in order to
be loved, then you cannot help but feel that other
people must "deserve" love in order for you to love
them. If you feel that you may be rejected for your
weaknesses and imperfections and the mistakes that you
may make, then you cannot help but feel that other
people may be rejected for =their= mistakes and
=their= imperfections and weaknesses. So if you put
yourself down as not being totally worthy of love, you
re not making yourself a healing presence to others.
But by accepting love and its healing power, you
become a healer because you make it possible for other
people to begin to accept love as well..

If you know that =you= are absolutely worthy of
love, then you will have no doubts that everyone you
meet is absolutely worthy of love also. If you can
truly and fully accept the fact that =you= are loved
without reservation by the universe, then you will
know without doubt that everyone else you meet is also
loved without reservation, and you will share in that
love for them.

undertanding and acceptance of this love can never
cease to expand. As your Acceptance of this love
expands, your Acceptance of others and of the universe
will also expand. When you accept that the universe
loves you without conditions and without reservations,
then you will naturally live a love for others that is
without conditions and without reservations. YOU are
loved absolutely. This love will never be withdrawn.
That is the essence of healing.

Breathe that in...

I want to live my next life backwards:
You start out dead and get that out of the way.
Then you wake up in an assisted living facility feeling better every day.
Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.
Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.
Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you're too young to work.
You get ready for High School: drink alcohol, party, and you're
generally promiscuous.
Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and you have
no responsibilities.
Then you become a baby, and then....
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and then....
You finish off as an orgasm.

Don't place imaginary limits on the miraculous manifestations of
spiritual heroes and dakinis in this place: regard everything you
see, good or bad-human beings, animals, birds, mice deer, or carnivorous
animals-with faith and pure vision.


Kye ma ho!
to those of aberrant minds, this place is just earth, stones, water and trees.
to those with mistaken intellects it appears as solid, inanimate objects.
to those of pure vision, it is a celestial palace full of deities
to those with realization it is the radiant luminosity of innate awareness.


In the all pervasive body and pure land of the buddha ever-excellent
The all -inclusive expanse is primordially pure


Impurity is just a mistaken term and designation.
It's use reflects the limited thinking of an immature mind -
In fact nothing whatsoever exists, like space
Cyclic existance and it's transcendance are just the intellect's
Ideas
Purity and impurity, just the use of terms
Buddha and sentient being, just the mind's limited posture

In the primordial basis, nothing at all exists;
From this non-existance, various appearances arise
Once one recognizes them as the display of innate awareness,
the nature of the three bodies of enlightenment,
One does not avoid or entertain, reject or accept.

"jamgon Kongtrul"


Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

I feel meditative concentration is a key element that is under developed in our freak community. Many of us have had dramatic and profound realizations either through auspicious circumstances and or through using psychedylics. However, having a glimpse of our profound inherent potential and gaining stability in those realizations such that one may benefit oneself and others on a meaningful level are two very different things. This is where a disciplined approach to mind training is crucial. It also has an added benefit of generating compassion for all other sentient beings based on seeing, through meditation, the inseperability of ones' own and all beings consciousness. this in turn fuels ones delegence in the path of meditation.
Realizing the inseperability of ones own and all sentient beings awareness also has the benefit of prventing one from indentifying with ones "spiritual" experiences and then constructing an ego around that. As if one were somehow special and spiritually superrior to those around them. This is a moderately common phenomena in our community. It results in tyhe very seperateness we have commited ourselves to eliminating. Spiritual ego is nearly indestructable. In some texts this is called the attainment of Rudrahood, the antithesis of Buddhahood.

Seven Delights

Namo Ratna Guru

When thoughts that there is something perceived and a perceiver
Lure my mind away and distract,
I don't close my senses' gateways to meditate without them
But plunge straight into their essential point
They're like clouds in the sky, there's this shimmer where they fly,
Thoughts that rise, for me sheer delight!

When kleshas get me going and their heat has got me burning,
I try no antidote to set them right,
Like an alchemistic potion turning metal into gold,
What lies in kleshas' power to bestow
Is bliss without contagion, completely undefiled,
Kleshas coming up, sheer delight!

When I'm plagued by god-like forces or demonic interference,
I do not drive them out with rites and spells,
The thing to chase away is the egoistic thinking
Built up on the idea of a self
This will turn those ranks of maras into your own special forces,
When obstacles arise, sheer delight!

When samsara with its anguish has me writhing in its torments,
Instead of wallowing in misery,
I take the greater burden down the greater path to travel
And let compassion set me up
To take upon myself the sufferings of others,
When karmic consequences bloom, delight!

When my body has succumbed to attacks of painful illness,
I do not count on medical relief
But take that very illness as a path and by its power
Remove the obscurations blocking me,
And use it to encourage the qualities worthwhile,
When illness rears its head, sheer delight!

When it's time to leave this body, this illusionary tangle,
Don't cause yourself anxiety and grief;
The thing that you should train in and clear up for yourself
There's no such thing as dying to be done
It's just clear light, the mother, and child clear light uniting,
When mind forsakes the body, sheer delight!

When the whole thing's just not working, everything's lined up against you,
Don't try to find some way to change it all,
Here the point to make your practice is reverse the way you see it,
Don't try to make it stop or to improve
Adverse conditions happen, when they do it's so delightful
They make a little song of sheer delight!
