Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hello all; I joined this group sometime in July (I've a background in esoteric japanese buddhism) & started to read too much & then was rather overwhelmed with all the material. But I looked again through the files & found this new version of the Khadgamala stotram. Talk about user friendly! What a difference this has made in helping someone to start. So right now I'm rereading Dempsey's "The Goddess lives in Upstate New York", reading slowly "Auspicious Wisdom" and starting to chant along with the Mp3 file, while reading. Does this sound like a good plan? again this newcomeer is very appreciative of the new material & the thought and hard work that went into it. with thanks, Cory > I'd like to extend my sincerest thanks and appreciation to Nora, > Kochu, Adwaith, Ganpra, and all other members who rose to the > occasion, closely proofreading, reviewing and -- where necessary -- > scrubbing all or parts of the document.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi Cory: I somehow missed your message when you originally posted it, and msbauju kindly brought it to my attention. It is very gratifying indeed to learn that you've found the updated Khadgamala document to be useful in your endeavors. Both the Dempsey and Brooks texts are excellent; I would say you're definitely on the right track. Thanks for taking the time to write, and -- once again -- thanks for your kind comments. Please keep me updated on your progress!
