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

Last week, however, we heard that the bridge to Castagnetoli had been reopened, so we went to take a look. As you will see, it is more a triumph of ingenuity than a triumph of Read more...

  • Helicopters abound 16/11/2011
    Stuff has really been going on! A few days ago I walked up the hill and saw that the bridge to Castagnetoli was in exactly the same state (see earlier post), and the only activity was the harvesting of fallen trees.

Some people will be reciting a mala (i.e. 108 times) or more of His Holiness’ mantra – “Karmapa Khyenno” – and dedicating this to His Holiness.

If you have no idea how to pronounce that, click here. (It’s only me, so it could be better!)

Edit: Oh, I have been reminded of the Billion Mantra Initiative, and that anyone who does this can still contribute their counts (preferably on or before the day) by going to khandro.net.
