A little shop



I've opened a little shop selling greeting cards, and I'm gradually populating it with various images. If you're interested, please see 'Lluniau Naturiol' at Redbubble. (http://tridral.redbubble.com/works)

Biography of Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche

"Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche is one of the greatest living yogis from the Nyingmapa tradition. His life story is an example of the lives of the great Mahasiddhas of the past, eschewing the worldly trappings of modern-day life and wandering homelessly from holy place to holy place, dedicating his life to the hardships of continual practice and retreats."

What If Your To-Do List Was Complete? A Guided Meditation

"If you have just a few minutes, try this -- Imagine that your to-do list is complete. (Take a breath, relax, I know this can be difficult, startling.) Actually, take a few breaths; relax, settle... Imagine, you pull out your list of things to do and everything is done, crossed off, complete. Then you look at your list of projects – also done, complete. Then you search through your list of aspirations, things missing in your life, all the things that are lacking, incomplete, or need improvement. Imagine -- all done, nothing missing, nothing lacking, complete, just right. Just imagine for a few seconds."

Transport of Delight

"The vehicle that we kept coming back to was a Talbot Express. They are a little older than we had originally intended to buy but had everything that we wanted, and were top of the range when they first came out. Unfortunately we could not find one for sale near us to go and view. Eventually we decided to take a risk and go for one that was being advertised on ebay by a dealer in Staines. We travelled down by train one Friday afternoon in May – buying a return ticket just in case. After viewing and a test drive we bought our campervan—or motorhome—and drove it straight back that evening."

Mass education is a child of a mechanical age

"Mass education is a child of a mechanical age. It grew up along with the production line. It reached maturity just at that historical moment when Western civilization had attained its final extreme of fragmentation and specialization, and had mastered the linear technique of stamping out products in the mass. It was this civilization’s genius to manipulate matter, energy and human life by breaking every useful process down into its functional parts, then producing any required number of each. Just as shaped pieces of metal became components of a locomotive, human specialists become components of the great social machine"

"All students, [...] , were furnished standard “bodies of knowledge,” vocabularies, concepts and ways of viewing the world."
