“No sacrifice or superstition or ritual is required on the Dharma journey.” Downward Dog

 “Though for a hundred years one should tend the sacrificial fire in the forest, yet if only for a moment one should worship those of perfected minds, that worship is indeed better than a century of sacrifice.”

Lama Dharma DingDong

"I think most artists create out of despair.  The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within."
