ENTERING THE STILLNESS OF MEDITATION ON WAVES OF BREATH TO BECOME A FORCE OF LOVE IN THIS HURTING WORLD Dedicated to my first guru, Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche How we begin our day Determines how the day will flow… Knowing this, I rise before dawn When mind is fresh and clear And the world is quiet before the Busy bustle of the working world— To pray and enter the stillness of meditation On waves of breath in this very moment, Careful of what I focus my eyes upon And feed my own wild horse mind— Aware of every one of it’s rising thoughts, Discerning and choosing to accept only Those bright, positive and grateful ones That lift my consciousness to the heights So that when it is time to go into the world And enter the fray, my own mind is tamed And peacefully under my full control, this heart Is opening like the most beautiful lotus flower, And I am ready, willing and able to share The purest love and compassionate concern And be a force of love, light and goodness Wherever I go, whatever this new day brings.

A SPECIAL SONG FOR YOU …From Chinmayan’s Inspirational Playlists
“Link Of Shangpa”—Two Music Videos About Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche
These are two stunning and sweet music videos about my first guru, Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche…using Tibetan music and chanting as a soundtrack to a slide show of Kalu Rinpoche’s life and Dharma activities….
These two videos really communicate the essence of who and what Kalu Rinpoche was in a very moving way…it was created by Kalu Rinpoches’s young reincarnation who has dedicated himself to tirelessly traveling the world to teach the Dharma… just as he did in his first incarnation who I met in 1972 and became one of his very first American disciples.
Included in the pictures are ones with the 16th Karmapa and Dilgo Kytense Rinpoche and other great realized souls of Tibetan Buddhist traditions…
Enjoy!
