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

    The village is a-buzz with excitement and activity!

I too am making a small contribution. I shall […]

Rinpoche came to Australia in 1980 where he subsequently established Kagyu E-Vam Buddhist Institute in 1982. He regularly conducts courses and retreats and has travelled extensively in U.S.A, South East Asia and Europe conducting lectures and courses. Rinpoche is author of various books including the best selling The Essence of Buddhism and Practice of Lojong and has now established a number of Centres in Australia, New Zealand and U.S.A..

  • In a previous entry — the one about Mahakala breaking the table, I think — you drew our attention to an incorrect spelling of “vegetarian.”
    We share a similar condition, you and I, Alex. Take a look at the item of May 11/09. Harry Belafonte song? “Syndey” don’t let me down . . . .

    ooo
