inspirations
Before I came across Buddhism, I used to make jewelry which was beautiful, interesting, fun or wild. But now, I try to make it also with a special meanning. A jewel that will enrich the mind of the wearer. Something that will benefit the person. There are many beautiful and wise things in this world. I had the pleasure of coming across some of them. I will share these things with you, so keep checking this page, it will change all the time.
I think that meeting the Karmapa in Tibet in '93 created the strong link that I have to Buddhism.
H.H. the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso in Dharamsala during teachings. A source of inspiration for thousands of people.
Prayer flags over Tashi Jong monastery. The Tibetans hang these prayer flags on the tip of the mountains, so that the wind will blow and spread the good prayers all around the world, to benefit all beings. Every time I see them I stop and think about what is really important in life. I see that we have such great potential to benefit others.
O.K., we may feel inspired just by looking at H.H. the Dalai Lama, but to make real change in ourselves takes a great deal of listening, studying and thinking. So I get inspired by seeing that thousands of people come each time for the teachings in Dharamsala. I never missed a single one. I felt that this was the greatest present I could give to myself.
