This man beside me came straight from my dreams. After changing his plans to stay home in NYC a few days longer, he figures out a way to take me to my teacher's memorial service, at my Buddhist Temple, hours away, during a snow storm. He waited patiently for me to finish the ceremony (which took about 5 hours) and helped us light over 1000 candles. We light these candles, representing wisdom, to honor the memory and teachings of our guru and to dispell the ignorance and darkness in our minds and in the world. May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. May all beings be free of suffering and the causes of suffering. May all beings never be parted from freedom’s true joy. May all beings dwell in equanimity free from attachment and aversion. 1,111 year 13. #nofilternoproblem #magictime #dakiniland #tibetanbuddhism #lobsangtharchin #seramey #gurudevotion #teamhaake #allhaakeeverything #kungen #kärlek (at Rashi Gempil-Ling 1St)
