Hi my name is Claire and I am 19, what's in the...
Hello, Claire! You got The Moon. This card represents illusion and the manner in which the mind can play tricks on us.
A yogi comes into contact with the Moon’s illusion whenever he meditates. In this instance, it is the Mind that acts as the moon. The mind will do anything it can to distract the yogi from meditating. It will make you think of troubling tasks, remember last minute...

Curious Monk and Zen Master.
Monk: What is the Way?
Master: It is right before your eyes,
Monk: Why do I not see it for myself?
Master: Because you are thinking of yourself,
Monk: What about you: do you see it?
Master: So long as you see double, saying I don't and you do, and so on, your eyes are clouded,
Monk: When there is neither 'I' nor 'You,' can one see it?
Master: When there is neither 'I' nor 'You,' who is the one that wants to see it?

Meditation Flirtation
I might talk a lot through the lens of my spiritual path but I never preach or assert my view over another’s. So I was surprised when two of my good friends who attend the business school asked me about meditation yesterday, separately.
There is something truly ineffable about a yogi who has been locked into a meditation practice that will continue for the span of his or her life....

Krishna’s Cocktails
A pink frivolous sea
floats white lotus flowers on champagne bubbles.
A foot with the lightest touch
may begin the first step of a thousand long miles.
Crossing the ocean of awareness
in leaps, bounds, and babysteps,
the yogi finds sport in the divine’s lila
and never stops dancing.

God's Heart on a String
Last night I was videochatting with a spiritual brother of mine, a powerful tantrik named Vajranath. Over this past summer, Vajranath went to visit his guru. While at the satsang (workshop/lecture/whatever), he ran into a fellow yogi who bestowed upon him a very special gift. It was a small metal heart dangling from a string large enough to wear as a necklace.
The yogi said to Vajranath:...

A Koan
From Tricycle.com:
Phra Ajaan Lee once passed the rainy season among the remote hill tribes of central Thailand. One night when he was feeling ill, he dozed off for a moment. A woman dressed in white appeared, followed by two girls and carrying a white flag covered with Chinese characters. “I am the queen of the deities,” she told Ajaan Lee. “If you live here, you have to bow down to me.” ...

What a wonderful opportunity to get a mala and make a different at the same time! If you’ve been considering getting yourself a set of...

This speaks to me deeply. Know where to start, where to end, and how to drop personal history.

“When Bodhidharma was asked, “What is the first principle of the holy teaching”, he didn’t say suffering. He said, “Vast emptiness. Nothing holy.” This is what the Heart Sutra says, too. The Heart Sutra says, “Things are founded on emptiness.” This means really that things...
