Blogger Buddies Roundup

Shout out to Danny Fisher for his post on The Dhamma Brothers, a group of prison inmate meditators.  The photo from his website is below.  There's also a video clip from the documentary.

The following cartoon is from a post at Daramusing.  It made me laugh.  Visit Ani-la's site or just click on the photo to enlarge it.  She also has some interesting video clips in the right hand column, including one of the Gyalwang Drukpa. 

Then there's brother Konchog in Mongolia blogging on Dreaming of Danzan Ravjaa.  The following photo is of a young Tibetan tulku, called Ngulchu Tulku, from this post.  Ven. Konchog describes him as a "major mover" in the Tibetan protests. The photo is by Harold Castro.  The post is from April 6th, but is still interesting.

Got any interesting tidbits?  Send 'em my way.

Last and probably least, a photo of yours truely.  I call this one "Gyatso the Grey."  I'm wearing a durumagi which is a Korean monk's coat.  This was a gift from my unsa sunim (vocation master), but it originally came from his unsa sunim.  The t-shirt I was wearing was actually maroon, but Shakya's girlfriend Tiffany played on the computer a bit and made it grey.  Shakya took the photo.

I also just ran accross a reference to a booklet I wrote a few years ago called "You Can Move Mountains."  I wrote it in 2005 after my last stint in Japan.  I can't remember where I found it, but there was a link to it back here on A Monk Amok.  It was a bit of a blast from the past.  It's in PDF format, so you should be able to download it with the link above if you're interested.
