last night i attended a dharma talk with Lama Surya Das. interesting guy.
more entertaining then i imagined he would be. 2 hours certainly wasn’t enough to fully
touch all the areas of his knowledge of buddhism, but it was just enough to allow me
to visualize time in a different way. using horizontal hand gestures he spoke about the linear
aspect of time, and then gesturing his hands vertically he mentioned the present moment,
and going even further he pinpointed this exact point in time, and from there it all opened up.
hmmmm…in can sit in that place for awhile; fully content. my mind exploding into a beautiful
array of visuals.
the talk was titled, “buddhist standard time”
