2025

The year the people come together and unite.

The year divide and conquer fails.

The year all the people wake up.

The year the billionaires loose control.

The year of the people.

If we all unite we can all be free.

2025

Happy New Year!

I recommend the version by Chogyam Trungpa and Francesca Fremantle, an Englishwoman who studied with him and died recently. The Surmang Trungpas are the lineage which composed the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I also studied with Trungpa for many years until he died. He didn't talk about the book much, rather worked to make everyday life an extremely vivid, wakeful affair which is the same thing really.

One of his favourite games was to sneak up behind someone who was lost in thought and therefore spaced out, unaware, and shout 'BOO!' making them jump out of their skin. Although a joke, it is also bardo training.

The book is also traditionally read into a recently dead person's ear. Of course it works best if it's to someone who has already studied the whole approach and perspective already. Anyway, thanks for the reminder.
