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

  • Birmingham food markets 20/05/2012
    So yes, about the markets. I mentioned in the last post how fast food outlets seem to be swamping the country. While in Birmingham I went to Marks and Spencers food hall in search of one particular condiment. That was a mistake. I have the impression that M&S used to be noted for good quality food.

  • Family in April 19/05/2012
    This will only be interesting to people who know us. I went to the UK in April (yes, blogging late again) to see as much family as I could. The country is becoming swamped by fast food outlets – pizzerias, burgerias, sandwicherias and pastyerias on every corner and many points between. I tried to get a taste of Read more...

  • Benchen and Back available on Kindle 29/02/2012
    Usually I don’t put stuff on both my personal blog (this one) and my Buddhist blog. But with the release of a 20-years-on digital edition of the little old travelogue “Benchen and Back”, I thought I’d make a note of it here too.

Wisdom Sun – Yeshe Nyima

That’s the name of the Harris Park centre. After the splash as it opened, I’d almost begun to wonder whether it was time to be disappointed – little or nothing was happening. But now things really do seem to be on the move.

A newsletter has been published. You can get it from them, or download it from here.

And the E-Vam site also now has a webpage for this centre.

It’s just a pity that so much is happening all at once, what with this, the visit of Lama Pema Dorje and the visit of Dekhung Gyaltsey Ripoche (see this recent post). Where to go? What to do? Who to see? When to get round to actually practising?
