Larchfire: Photography from India, Nepal and Tibet, plus quotations primarily from traditions in Yoga and Buddhism

If you see death as the moment when you engage the deepest mystery of the universe, then you prepare for that moment. That’s what the Eastern traditions are about – preparing you so that you’ll be open, curious, equanimous, not clinging to the past. You’ll just be present, moment by moment.
Silence prepares you for death.
It’s been a hell of a dance, hasn’t it? —Ram Dass, <i> New York Times Magazine </i>
