Lungta by Relax Petso   Namkhai Norbu Rinoche explains the etymology of the Tibetan LUNGTA: "The word lungta (ཀླུང་རྟ་, klung rta) is composed of two syllables: the first, lung, represents the element 'space' in the fivefold classification of the elements 'earth, water, fire, air and space' and signifies 'universal foundation' or 'omnipervasiveness'. [...] The second syllable ta (horse) refers to the 'excellent horse' (རྟ་མཆོག་, rta mchog), and since in ancient times in Tibet the horse was the symbol of traveling with the greatest speed, in this case it seems to refer to the transmutation of every thing that depends on the five elements from negative to positive, from bad to good, from misfortune to good fortune, from baleful portents to auspicious signs, from poverty to prosperity, and it implies that this should ensue with the greatest speed. [...] I believe this to be the true meaning of lungta. In more recent times the custom has arisen ...

Clown Article: Women In Clowning Check it out here Thanks to physicalcomedy.blogspot.com "Clowns were here from the beginning. The creation stories told and acted out for centuries if not millennia by indigenous peoples throughout the world are full of mudhead clowns and trickster coyotes. For the Hopi, an indigenous tribe of the American Southwest, when humans first emerged from the underworld, it was the clowns who led the way. Likewise, trickster characters are a part of most mythologies and take many forms —not just male, and not just human."

Earth Day by Relax Petso "The distance between humans and the environment is becoming wider and wider and likewise, we are bringing more and more harm to the environment by using it indiscriminately. Actually, before using the environment, we should think; it is very important to think of the consequences of indiscriminate destruction of the environment. Lack of mindfulness is creating a lot of problems. Therefore, it is very important to be mindful of what we are using now and from where those resources come from. For example, sweet cheeps of birds and lush green forests are beauties; they are not something that we have created; rather those are naturally created beauties. However, if we cut down forests and harm animals, we are depriving ourselves of the natural beauties we enjoy; it is as if we are destroying the very sounds, smells and good tastes that we enjoy. Therefore, it is very important to be mindful." - The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje Read the c...

Poster - Le Schpountz, de Marcel Pagnol "To make laugh those who return from the fields with their hands so stiff that they can not close them, those who leave the office with their little narrow chest who forgot the taste of the air, those returning from the factory, head down and broken back, with black oil in the cuts of their fingers, make laugh those who approach death, those who have lost their mother. He who makes them forget for a moment the miseries, fatigue, anxieties and death itself, the one who make laugh those who have much reason to cry, gives them the strength to live and we love him as a benefactor.” Marcel Pagnol - The Schpountz "Faire rire ceux qui rentrent des champs avec les mains si dures qu’il ne peuvent pas les fermer, ceux qui sortent du bureau avec leur petite poitrine étroite qui ne savent plus le goût de l’air, ceux qui reviennent de l’usine, la tête basse et le dos cassé, avec de l’huile noire dans les coupures de leurs doigts ; faire rire ...
