Nectar is pollen in the old Tibetan literature, and if we allow it is the same. When do we allow? I once asked a sage. When we don’t disturb.
I disturb the flowers this morning in my backyard, the whole lawn is full of yellow marrow as it is called in Tibet and […]
Which is it, differentiation or differences from past and future? Both The Dalai Lama Teaches and I believe they are different in that past needs differentiation from the future so we can untangle and remove obstacles and let the past guide us to the future.

In the view of the past, we find resplendent the spendor of ages past, but what of the splendor today: wealth? The least of it.
