The Dalai Lama Serves Hope To SF Homeless

April 26, 2009 His Holiness the Dalai Lama was trying very hard on Sunday to make the homeless guests at Martin's soup kitchen relax.

He put on a red and yellow tie-dyed apron to serve up the first plates of pesto pasta. He cracked jokes about what a relief it was to be among rich people who hang on his every word. He broke bread with seven down-and-out men, telling stories and making fun of his English — or lack thereof.

Finally, the head of Tibet's government in exile and one of the most significant spiritual leaders in the world tried this: "You know," he said, "I'm homeless too."

The Dalai Lama was on his second day of a weekend swing through the San Francisco Bay area to talk peace and call attention to the plight of the nation's poor. His visit, arranged by The Forgotten International, a nonprofit that promotes helping the world's poorest people, was two years in the making.

Tom Nazario, the founder of Forgotten International, blamed bureaucratic red tape. "He has wanted to do this for some time," said Nazario, a professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law.

The Dalai Lama beamed and grinned impishly throughout his hour-long visit to Martin's — formally, Martin de Porres House of Hospitality — rooted in the Catholic Worker movement.

"I'm really happy for the opportunity to visit," he said, offering words of encouragement to the approximately 100 guests and volunteers at the Sunday lunch.

"Our lives depend on others," said the Dalai Lama. "Me too. My life depends on others. You are still in human society, human community. Please feel happy and feel dignity."

The Fire Yogi of Tanjore

This documentary portrays a rare and unusual Fire Ritual performed by the Yogi and the subsequent chemical analysis of his clothing & physical tests that examine this supernatural phenomenon. The Yogi has performed this Fire Ritual for a total of 1000 days over the last 45 years. The Yogi, weighing a mere 94 pounds (43 kilos), has been able to survive on only two bananas and a mere glass of milk with a few drops of water twice a day for the last 28 years. Many aspects of the Yogi are on the edge of unbelievability, while at the same time highlighting the power and endurance of human mind, body and spirit.

Yogi Rambhauswami, the 63-year-old yogi, claims that in 1975 he stopped drinking more than a few drops of water each day, that two years later he began limiting his daily diet to a banana and a cup of milk, and that he sleeps only three hours each night. By all rights the Sanskrit scholar should be malnourished and dehydrated, but in director and producer Mike Vasan's documentary, he appears to be a relatively normal, if somewhat slender, senior citizen. Rambhauswami's real claim to fame, however, is his elaborate fire ritual.

Trataka : Meditation of third eye

Your third eye is hungry for awareness .

The meditation technique which you are going to read is 'Trataka' (also known as third eye meditation). In the belief system of 'Tantra' and 'Hatha Yoga' there is a concept of Kundalini .

[ Have you ever heard of Tantra or 'Hatha' Yoga ? If not then let me tell you very briefly that 'Tantra' is a sort of esoteric spiritual path that involves doing a number of activities which seem bizarre and odd to many people. Soon I'll write a separate article on Tantra. Keep watching ' New Articles'

'Hatha' Yoga is a branch of Yoga and it involves indulging in various physical exercises and breathing routines (known as Pranayam.) Many things in 'Hatha Yoga' and Tantra are common' . In this article, without going into the details of Tantra, Hatha Yoga or Pranayam, I have tried to present a simple meditation technique of third eye. The topics of Tantra, Hatha & Pranayam will be covered in other articles soon]

It has been discovered that there are seven chakras (or points of consciousness) in our body. These Chakras (literally Chakra means rings) are situated at different points in our body. Among these Chakras, the 6th Chakra is known as ' Aagya Chakra' located between the eyebrows and is said to be the seat of the mystical "third eye".

The physical location of this chakra is at the center of our forehead. Just above the place between our eyes. It is believed that Kundalini (the energy field) travels from the first Chakra (also known as Muladhara Chakra, situated at the base of our spine) and travels to 2nd, 3rd, 4th…..chakra to reach the 7th Chakra of Sahasrara. Here it meets with the Supreme Consciousness- Shiva. The 'Agya Chakra' is the 6th chakra (the second last Chakra in the path of Kundalini).

This 3rd eye meditation revolves around this 6th center of consciousness - Agya Chakra. This Agya Chakra' is considered as the center where our third eye resides. Though there is no physical third eye present in the body but at a more subtle, spiritual plane it has been experienced by many people that a stimulating center of consciousness exist here. Trataka (or third eye meditation) is the meditation technique of 'Agya Chakra'. When we focus our awareness on third eye, we automatically and instantly attain a meditative state.

Now without further going into the scientific explanation or spiritual significance of this meditation technique let us learn the exact method of this simple meditation technique of 'Trataka' which may take you into a meditative state instantly.

Here is the method:

[Please don't do this meditation in train or bus i.e. while traveling. You'll not be able to do it properly when your body is in motion. ]

Sit in the lotus pose (cross legged). [if it not possible for you then sit comfortably on chair or bad]

keep your spine straight.

close your eyes.

inhale and exhale deeply for 3 times.

Now concentrate on the middle of your forehead around the area which is a few centimeters above the middle of your eyes.

Keep your eyes closed and draw both of your eyes towards this center point of 3rd eye. I mean just look upwards with your eyes closed . Focus your closed eyes at 20-25 degrees above just at the center of the forehead (at the place of third eye.) Now slowly at about two-second interval, start counting in your mind backward from one hundred to one (that is 100,99,98,97....and so on). As you do it, keep your eyes centered towards the third eye.

The Law of Detachment

The Law of Detachment: In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . . in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.



I will put the Law of Detachment into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
1. Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.
2. Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, order and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.
3. I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic and mystery of life.

The windmill at the end of Golden Gate Park is very close to the ocean. You can see the Windmill from The Great Highway. Parking is close by as well. Bring a blanket for your body and a pillow to sit on for some meditation. Bring a chair if sitting on the ground is not comfortable. Unless it is raining really hard, we will still meet. We will go for an hour or so. The cost is $5 dollars, you can bring it to the meetup!


I'm starting this group without a real agenda or special topic in mind, but rather would like this to be a collaborative effort of different people to connect with others on a spiritual path. Let's just meet and talk and let it evolve and see where it guides us.

My personal belief system is based on many different influences - Taoism, Buddhism, Huna, Wicca and whatever I come across that resonates with me and I know there are many others like that out there.

It takes blunt honesty to admit what things are keeping you hooked into the chatter of your mind. This workshop with Ren is based off of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle's work and Don Miguel Ruiz's work, author of The Four Agreements. Ren has studied intensely with students of Don Miguel Ruiz for two years, and has reaped magical benefits. What does your heart tell you?

Art, chanting, movement, drumming, meditation and shamanic journey (Mission Dist)
FREE* at CellSpace
Saturday, April 4
2:00 pm
Awakening through Art - only $5 - come play…
Join us for a fun afternoon of art, multi-cultural chant, movement, drumming, meditation and shamanic journey…

The combination of activities vary each session as we work with creative blocks and invite inspiration and acceptance into the space.

This is a process-based workshop focusing on the creative process and not the product or outcome. The point is not to worry about what your artwork looks like, but to just engage fully in the inspiration that comes to you in the present moment, so that you can enjoy yourself and play.

All materials provided, most recycled: paint, pastels, fabric, markers, colored pencils, paper, ink…

Please bring drums, rattles or other instruments so we can play together.

No prior experience necessary, all levels and ages welcome.


Saturday, April 4th
2-4pm
Fee: $5-10 sliding scale (pay what you can–it goes back to supplies and space rental)

RSVP required to: art@manacircle.com

CLAIRVOYANCE: "You are Brilliant"

Brilliant, charismatic, glowing, present and bright are words we use to describe individuals who have impressed us.

That space around you is not empty. We each have been taught to occupy this space (to fill it) with something. We can fill it with ourselves (the truth) or with something other than ourselves (a lie). The effect is immediate and obvious for all to see.

Learning to “see an aura” has to do with getting acquainted with your own space as much as it has to do with reading those around you.

I Am He

Mind, nor intellect, nor ego, feeling;
Sky nor earth nor metals am I.
I am He, I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!
No birth, no death, no caste have I;
Father, mother, have I none.
I am He, I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!
Beyond the flights of fancy, formless am I,
Permeating the limbs of all life;
Bondage I do not fear; I am free, ever free.
I am He, I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!
Adi Shankaracharya
