Somins....

S'ha acabat el Nadal
i tournem a normalitat
tot apunta al desastre mundial

Un altre any que s'en va
altres somnis que arrivaran
somnis de pau, anem en davant

El somni d'uns, els somnis de tots
els de cadascu, les veus de nosaltres
els camins que alguns han fet
el cami que a altres deixare
aixo....

Una remor, s'escolta al bar
veus trancadas de tant cantar
rondas de nit, bom temp viandra

Totes les portes, obertes fins ara
i las que esperan, aquelles que esperan
tots els dies son teus i s'en van
tan sols aixo, aixo es el que vola
aixo....

Quote of the Day (Shantideva VI, 10)

If a problem can be solved,
What reason is there to be upset?
If there is no possible solution,
What use is there in being sad?

Bodhicharyavatara, VI, 10

Quote of the day (Patrul Rinpoche)

Remember the example of the old cow: She's content to sleep in a barn. You have to eat, sleep and shit - that's the unavoidable - anything beyond that is none of your business. Do what you have to do and keep yourself to yourself.

dbu-med

For months I was looking for a chart with Tibetan dbu-med scripts, and now I finally found a copy of a paper with the 'bru tsha script. Since there isn't much information about dbu-med on the internet, I thought I should share this one, for the case that some people are interested in learning a dbu-med script. Unfortunately I forgot the original source, but here it is....
