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.

  • 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.

A couple of links

Things have been a bit busy the last few weeks, as I’ve been helping set up another website for Karma Samten Choeling. Take a peek at: Karma Samten Choeling

I’ve also heard from an old Oxford buddy, Keith Bloomfield, recently retired from being UK Amassador in Kathmandu, who sent me a link of a singing friend from there, who does sound as if she has a really nice voice: Telepathy

Take a look!

Tibetan flute

Last night I went to a dinner in honour of HH Dalai Lama’s birthday, where I met a Tibetan musician.
