On
the Fire Monkey New Year
I
wish you a heartfelt Tashi Delek.
Next
year, this time, may we meet again
With
smiles on our faces
And
hearts full of joy.
May
our teachers live long
May
goodness spread wide
May
the world be filled with compassion
May
the earth revive its vitality
May
beings live in peace.
May
all these wishes come true
That I've made with a pure heart.
With
respect, from Ringu Tulku February 2016
Hanuman was a key figure in a ancient Indian epic called the Ramayana, he was brave, perservering and loyal, devoted and selfless: he inspired others to face their ordeals and overcome obstacles, he is protector to Kali, and guards her temple doorways all over India.
