    HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO OUR SINGING CONTEMPLATION, "FRIENDS"--JOIN US IN BELTING IT OUT!

    FRIENDS: A Song of Those who are Full of Love but Free of Attachment


    Friends are empty forms, like a water moon
    To think of them as being truly real
    Will only make your many sufferings increase


    To know they’re empty forms, like a water moon
    Will make illusion-like samadhi increase
    Compassion free of clinging will increase


    And non-referential view will also increase
    And meditation that’s fixation-free
    And conduct free of doer, deed increase


    Of all the many marvels, this, by far the most marvelous!
    Of all the many wonders, this, the most wonderful!


    Translated and arranged by Jim Scott, Marpa House, England, August 1997. Translation copyright 2012, Jim Scott

  • As Prajna Sparks Podcast celebrates our third anniversary this summer, we honor three years together with you with rebroadcasts of the most popular episodes of the last three years.

    This Friday, close on the heels of today's new moon, Tibetan Buddhists celebrate Chokor Duchen, the holiday commemorating the Buddha's first public discourse, relating the Four Truths of Noble Beings. And this Sunday, July 23, 2021, marks Prajna Spark's podcast's third anniversary.

    What better topic, to cap off our rebroadcast of popular episodes from the last three years together than what it means to Be True in the context of the Buddha's teaching?

    Read the English translation of the Wheel of Dharma Sutra online.

    These six episodes together form a concise introduction to Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practice.

    Revisit the highlights of Prajna Sparks and check in on how beautifully you have integrated the Buddhadharma during our time together.

    And most importantly, thanks so much for your support, and for listening, contemplating, and meditating along with us.
