Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 welcome jaeraeth, i am Bill. i was so glad to read your post. it was special to me for a few reasons: 1) your experience with the huge statue of ganesh. i too have had similar experiences with huge images of ganesh, which i shared on this site in my initial posts. his form also strikes me in the same way, w a childlike sense of wonder. and he follows me. it seems that everywhere i went last summer he was there. i saw him inside the coin machine at my laundry mat, at a hotel in kansas, at a restaurant in boulder, and finally at my friend kumar's house. then one day kumar comes over and brings one to my house. hmmmmmm......gets around huh! anyway i loved hearing about this. 2) your mention of avalokiteshvara. i just posted on this today. i am trying to find out anything and everything i can about the bodhisattva of compassion. i find that with the popularity of tibetan buddhism, i am becoming more interested in the relationship that buddhism has to india. i am also wondering about the evolution of avalokitesvara. for some reason this has become almost as important to me as learning about ganesh. i actually feel the same feeling when i learn about either--like the same motivation is there. i feel that for me those interests are related in some way. 3) Radiohead--love 'em. Well, welcome aboard, hope you will stay, we have so many here who you will like--as you could see with SY and Rajat today. God bless, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
