I have begun a new Venture at http://bbpart2.com which includes all of the posts here.  I will be discontinuing the use of this site as of May 1, 2012 and focusing on the website I am building at the above URL.  Please visit me there.  I am in the process of installing an automatic redirect, but the domain DNS servers cannot seem to agree who has the authority.  Please don’t let that inhibit you.

What and how you perceive is what and why you believe.

Life is fleeting, each day a fragile gift,

Live each moment as the only one

Live and die without regret

Leave nothing for tomorrows that never come

At days end, done is what had to be done.

Urgyen Padma Yeshe, 2009

My original BACKWARDS BUDDHIST Website was devoted to unravelling the story told in my book of the same name.  It was my introduction to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen, as transmitted by Lama Kunzang Tenzin, the American Lama (so nicknamed by the Dalai Lama). It is a way of seeing and being I have found indispensable in adjusting to life in the fast paced changing world of today, just as it was indispensable in the far reaches of Tibet hidden behind the Himalayan mountains for centuries.  In other words, it is a timeless teaching that can inform every moment if I remember to be present to realize it.  That is my path – the path of realization, practice and stabilization of seeing and being in every moment.  It is simple, but not easy.
