hi Habby,
you have written:
> You are like an apparition and a reminder to me just how connected to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition I really am. I am sooo delighted that we have met here in cyber space. To be honest, I given up on the idea of having Arlon visit with people on the web. They never said it wouldn't happen, just that it didn't and I moved on to other interests and things. So you arrive to awaken the Arlon process in me. Not so much the connection, which is always there, but their love of conversation with us frail and often confused human spirits. I miss the living room gatherings with them. The always sat in front of an informal group of maybe 12 - 20, sometimes only 3 or 4, and opened the room to questions. They never had an agenda. They never started out with a topic or lecture. They seemed truly interested in what was on people's minds and in their hearts.
> They were amazing in their ability to bring out the depth of the situation or to have a turn of phrase that would take my silent breath away. Of course, they would slip their unique view of the 'way things are' into their answers and so illuminate the world in a new way.

you reflect back to me the joy i feel at this common re-ignition of our spiritual kindling ... ...so now i'm 'over'-joyed!
... ... ...<small word-play "humor", HA!>> I do know the time is near for them to respond here. I can feel it. Maybe this week-end. We'll just have to see how life intervenes!
>... ... excellent ... ...
> I did not know that about the Khan. What an interesting perspective on the 14 Dalai Lamas to have come here...
>... or the same guy 14 times, perhaps ... ?
... ... HA!> Many blessing to you and yours,
> Habbyour thanks to you and Arlon!
May Manjushri bless every sentient being and guide us with his Wisdom ...
