Okay, “Enlightenment or bust” might be a bit dramatic, but…

"Dang Zang" is an empty name. The blog has to do with the dharma; material related to Buddhist teachings (Tibetan style in particular, Kagyu in even more particular), meditation, gurus and lamas be they genuine or flaky, books and events. I do have a more personal blog, Pica Pica, and a site for my work.

Oh yes, it's by Alex Wilding

Will the Karmapa come to Sydney?

I heard a rumour (and the source was good, but it was just a rumour) that the Karmapa (by which, of course, I mean Orgyen Tinley Dorje) wants to have a fully fledged seat in Australia, and that the plan is for this (at least as far as the city is concerned, there might be somewhere else in the country) to be in Sydney. Could it be true? If it is, how come I am so lucky as to be living here?

    I’ve heard talk about that too. It’s too early to be sure, but it’s looking good. I heard some land has been donated for a country centre somewhere near Orange!
