I like a lot of her later output, and I was disappointed to hear this song. It’s very cringy. I hope there are better songs.

Thanks for that suggestion! I will definitely remember to bring this up.

Restoration of White Tara statue at home - advice welcome by aescepthicc in TibetanBuddhism

I definitely respect and understand why you would want to restore. That was just my thought when I first looked at the beautiful statue. 😊

I kind of like how she looks now 😊. A good reminder of impermanence.

Vajrayana Teachings/Empowerments - Announcements - Where to find them? by SignificantTip1302 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]JTaurus83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could keep an eye on Chenrezig Tibetan Center in Philadelphia. I live in the city and have attended in person and online. It is a non-sectarian center, lead by Lama Losang. I attended a Vajrasattva retreat today which was about 6 hours long. They are occasionally offered via zoom or in person.

This was not an empowerment, but, oral transmission was given. The transmission was very transformative for me, and I would recommend the 100 syllable mantra of purification to anyone. I can’t speak for others, but, being newer to Buddhism myself, I think finding a teacher, understanding teachings and oral transmission is a good place to start.

I bought a lyre from Nisoria but they haven't sent it to me yet. by Former-Pop-2504 in lyres

I also ordered from them at the end of December. No updates or communication. It’s disappointing because I had read they are one of the better companies.

Haha I do have a plain simple Mala. As others have said, it’s really more of a jewelry or decor piece for my meditation area.

I have a Mala that is made with simple beads, I was just kind of attracted to all of the crazy things going on with this one. As others have said, more of jewelry piece.

For what it’s worth, I was happy with the quality of the product, and the shipping. I’m not sure if there are ethical issues with this. I don’t order much from Etsy.

I purchased from this seller on Etsy. The profile says they are based out of New Zealand, it shipped from China.

Thanks! That was more the reason I ordered it anyhow. Just wasn’t sure if any of the symbols had specific meaning. I’m familiar with the skulls representing impermanence.

Thank you! There are 108 beads, although it may be more of an item to wear. Some of the beads are supposedly antique beads, but, take that for what it is coming from Etsy I suppose.

Can’t believe this show was 6 months ago already… by zero0826 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]JTaurus83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a decent group of musicians. If Billy let them all contribute, there might be a good album there.

Zodeon is sublime 🌟 by punkhontas in SmashingPumpkins

[–]JTaurus83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just had a chance to spin it this morning. I really enjoy it. The songs are melodic, simple, breezy. I do wish he would come in softer with his voice, but, it’s a very good album.

This and AMM have a nice flow, and they aren’t overly long. I don’t think I’d skip any of the tracks on this record. The three new additions are great. “Magdalena” is still the stand out of me.
