🪷 Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Tilopa (c. 988–c. 1069) 🪷

✨ Gazing intently into the empty sky, vision ceases; / Likewise, when mind gazes into mind itself, / The train of discursive and conceptual thought ends / And supreme enlightenment is gained. — Tilopa (c. 988–c. 1069) ✨

Just learned independent presidential candidate #CornelWest was at #Naropa in People's Republic of #Boulder tonight - "rally for truth, justice and love". (Had I known, I might have gone. I enjoyed the chorus frogs and a great horned owl along South Boulder Creek Trail)

While browsing City Lights Books on YT, I came across a talk with Anne Waldman, Emma Gomis, and several others, discussing the book New Weathers: Poetics from the Naropa Archives. And, over 800 audio tracks from the Naropa Poetics Archive are available on the Internet Archive!

@stevesilberman Nice! I was reading about the beginnings of #Naropa the other day in a collection of Ginsberg's essays (I think originally lectures).. Fascinating. I must confess to having overlooked Ginsberg and the Beats for a long time. Coming back to them via an obsession with Bohumil Hrabal whose friends translated many of them (he also met Ginsberg one time).
