“Don’t even think for a moment that you are not going to die” is a quote by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. It expresses a simple truth — one of the fundamental realities of existence. Yet few of us would readily put such words...

Drukpa Tshezhi, which falls on 18 July this year, commemorates the first teaching the Buddha gave after his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree.
All of us carry a subtle, nagging insecurity about who we are — a persistent need to confirm that there is a solid, permanent self we call “me.” This insecurity comes from an unconscious habit: treating this “me” as fixed and real, even though that assumption has no foundation at all.
There is a particular kind of courage required to make a film almost entirely without dialogue, trusting landscape, silence, and a single face. At 70, veteran filmmaker Pelden Dorji (popularly known as Ata Pelden) precisely does that.

Once born into a physical body, there are certain absolute necessities without which most of us are incapable of experiencing happiness. Sufficient food to nourish the body, medicine to avoid pain and disease, clothes and shelter to protect us from the elements of nature, all require money. Depending on which country you live in, the cost of these necessities will vary.

I told myself I would adjust quickly.
