&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This Amitabha Buddha of Light sand mandala &lt;br /&gt;was just completed in Mount Shasta by the Gaden Shartse monks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May it engender illumination among all who behold it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mandala will be dissolved tonight (Tuesday) after the empowerment. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>


&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most famous mantras in Tibet is the mantra of Padmasambhava, called the Vajra Guru Mantra, OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM. Like most mantras, it is in Sanskrit, the ancient sacred language of India. The mantra of Padmasambhava is the mantra of all the buddhas, masters, and realized beings, and so uniquely powerful for peace, for healing, for transformation and for protection in this violent, chaotic age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Vajra Guru mantra, OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM, is pronounced by Tibetans: Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hung. This exploration of its meaning is based on explanations by&lt;br /&gt;Dudjom Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                &lt;div class="asset_container" style="float: none; "&gt;          &lt;div class="asset_holding" style="width:434px;float:none"&gt;            &lt;img src="http://bbg-aura.gaia.com/photos/50/499206/large/dudjom_dilgo.jpg" height="281" width="434" /&gt;            &lt;div class="asset_caption"&gt;dudjom dilgo&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_125034" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The essential meaning of the mantra is: &amp;quot;I invoke you, the Vajra Guru, Padmasambhava, by your blessing may you grant us ordinary and supreme siddhis.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br id="ze_clear_asset_268352" class="ze_clear" style="clear:both"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Shasta and i heard singing through the trees.&lt;br /&gt; i followed the sound through the meadows and found a school bus painted with YEA GOD on it and a far out group of people singing songs to God.&lt;br /&gt; i spent the next few days with these people,&lt;br /&gt; but they were on their way to New York City to see their teacher who just returned from India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As they were boarding the bus for the cross country trip,&lt;br /&gt; i stood at the door hugging each one goodbye. there was a man named Gentle Bear,&lt;br /&gt; and we hugged and i said &amp;quot;You give good bear hugs&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt; and he said &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;You give good bear hugs too, you must be Ladybear&amp;quot;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; everyone there said ... &amp;quot;Yeah, Ladybear&amp;quot; ! the name stuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So since 1973 i have been known by Ladybear. :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; i ended up following that bus to New York City&lt;br /&gt; and found my new teacher sitting on a park bench at 86th St. and Central Park West.&lt;br /&gt; He was silent and taught us to communicate with a fun sign language&lt;br /&gt; that he created so we could all communicate&lt;br /&gt; with each other and translate for him.&lt;br /&gt;  HE RADIATED JOY. &lt;br /&gt;  i had never been near anyone like him before.  it was contagious. &lt;br /&gt; in India he became &amp;quot;enlightened&amp;quot; by his Guru,  &lt;a href="http://www.sathyasai.org/"&gt;Satya Sai Baba&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;  He asked Baba to make him free, and he did.&lt;br /&gt; Sai Baba changed his name to Freedom.&lt;br /&gt; Freedom was an amazing man and it was a magical time. &lt;br /&gt; we stayed at Central Park and celebrities would come by and see Freedom, &lt;br /&gt;and the Yea God family would sing all the time.&lt;br /&gt;  the police would watch out for us and come to sit on the corner asking questions about God. &lt;br /&gt; within a few weeks of meeting Freedom and the family&lt;br /&gt; i was on my way overland to see Sai Baba for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; For more photos of The Yea God Family click &lt;a href="http://www.snowcrest.net/ladybear/YeaGod2.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
