Today’s quote is another from my great spiritual friend Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, whom I first quoted here (with a biography). This is a video outtake from Gregg Eller’s wonderful recent film Recalling a Buddha: The Life and Death of an Awakened Being:
This from Amnesty International:
A Justice Department-led task force recently released its outrageous recommendation to continue holding nearly 50 Guantanamo detainees indefinitely. These actions are in direct violation of civil liberties, human rights, and a Supreme Court ruling in 2008 that confirmed Guantanamo detainees’ rights to habeas corpus.
Call the Obama administration on its recent backsliding in rejecting the rule of law and ask for a new kind of task force – a commission of independent, bipartisan experts to examine, report, and come to their own informed conclusions about the policies and actions related to the detention, treatment, and transfer of Guantanamo detainees.
Send a message to President Obama and your Congresspersons here.
This via the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche’s Twitter feed:
This blog shares updates about Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche from the Tek Chok Ling nunnery in Boudha, Nepal, where Rinpoche is currenlty residing.
The blog was created and will be updated by Tsepak Dorje, Khenpo Rinpoche’s main attendant.
Check out the new Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche blog here.
I previously wrote a biography for Khenpo-la in a past “A Gift of Dharma” post.
