The Six Yogas of Naropa, Master of Buddhist Tantra

by Timothy Weiss, through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This project investigates the six principal tantric practices as presented by the great Naropa, student of Mahasiddha Tilopa. Naropa skirts the bounds between monastic discipline and complete freedom, but remaining still a scholar, completes these treatises for our benefit. Fascinating work by Weiss.

Robert Thurman in Tibet Milarepa lecture

This is an excerpt from "Journey Into Tibet." The filming conditions were minimal, the camera wasn't functioning properly at the altitude - we were in a tent on the side of Mt. Kailash. Apologies for the visuals.

Belo Monte: Valter Cardeal Mente Sobre Oitivas Indígenas, a Sheyla Jurun...

In June of this year in Foz do Iguaçú, Brazil, at the International Hydropower Association's bi-yearly Congress, Eletrobras Director Valter Cardeal declared: "All of the indigenous people, even the Kayapó who live upstream from the area of impacts, are in favor of Belo Monte." Cardeal made the declaration with a straight face, speaking to the audience of dam industry CEOs, financial officers, and government representatives who were probably ecstatic to hear such a development. Too bad it wasn't true. Sitting in the front row were indigenous leaders Sheyla Yakarepi Juruna and Patxon Metuktire. In fact, they said, indigenous people were not properly consulted. And that's against the law.
Cardeal supported his claim by using a powerpoint presentation that juxtaposed photos of indigenous leaders Raoní, Tuíra, and Megaron – well known opponents of Belo Monte – with other leaders from the area of impacts on the "Big Bend" in the Lower Xingu Basin, next to a list of meetings held with indigenous people. The data was culled from a report called the "Indigenous Component," in which indigenous leaders' attitudes towards Belo Monte were studied and categorized. The report was added to the Belo Monte EIA in 2009 after the studies were completed, and the government has controversially used the report since then to argue that tribes were properly consulted.

When it comes to ascertaining whether or not tribes were properly consulted, live testimony works so much better than powerpoint data. Listening to Cardeal speak was Sheyla Yakarepi Juruna, an indigenous leader of the Juruna tribe of Km-17, a tribe that will be affected. Sheyla figures prominently in the 2009 report, as the agency visited and interviewed her a number of times in the territory of the Juruna of Km-17.

In Iguaçú, Sheyla decried Cardeal's lie:

"It's easy for you to claim that we're in favor, isn't it. The fact is that there were no indigenous consultations. There were no indigenous consultations. There were small meetings to inform us of the situation at the time. But how will our lives change after the dam is built? This whole time we've demanded to be heard by the National Congress. And we're still waiting for that to happen. The government used us, took advantage of our good faith, and together with FUNAI they went into our communities only to study us. And based on that they said we were consulted. That's a huge lie."

Valter Cardeal, Diretor da Eletrobras, mente e declara que "todos os lideranças indígenas são a favor do Belo Monte", em Congresso Internacional das Barragens organizada pela IHA (International Hydropower Association). Sheyla Juruna, liderança dos Juruna do Km-17, estava lá para desmentir sua declaração. Confira sua resposta.

George Harrison tribute - All Things Must Pass

LET'S SING ALONG,THOSE WHO SING SCARE THEIR WOES AWAY!!!!


ALL THINGS MUST PASS By George Harrison \0/

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up
And has left you with no warning
But it's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this my love is up
And must be leaving
It has not always been this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays at nighttime
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Yogin

"Yogin" is a commentary on how yoga in the West is often mistaken solely for the physical. And the danger of getting ahead of ourselves - thinking that because we have a strong practice or are more spiritually oriented, that it means we are a better person. Luv it!!!!
