Kopan Nuns After the Earthquake「地震後」千手觀音曼達拉

2015 April after Nepal Earthquake, Lama Zopa Rinpoche started praying to Buddha Chenrezig – the main deity for Nyung Ne retreat practice at Kopan Nunnery.

“The Nyung Ne prayers are especially dedicated to all sentient beings.”

“May there be no war, disease or natural disaster such as fire, flood, earthquake and so forth. May everybody realize bodhichitta, the good heart, enjoy peace and happiness, and as quickly as possible realize the wisdom directly perceiving emptiness, cease all their defilements and achieve enlightenment.” – Lama Zopa Rinpoche

17 May 2015:   “Chenrezig mandala fully completed today.  12 nuns worked hard, even in the continuation of earthquake, they kept putting [hours into the] mandala everyday.  Rejoice !!!” – Kopan Nunnery    

May 26 to June 3:  “Kopan nuns are continuing the Nyung Ne retreat in debate hall in front of new gompa.  Due to earthquake still shaking, we are not able to arrange Nyung Ne inside new gompa hall.” – Kopan Nunnery

Happy Sakadawa – 15 days of Celebrating Buddha’s Birthday.

Flightless Bird, American Mouth 「折翅的鳥、美國人的口」

– Lyrics by Iron and Wind

I was a quick-wit boy    我是個聰明領巧的小男孩

Diving too deep for coins    為錢幣而潛水得太深

All of your street light eyes    街上所有的燈亮眼睛

Wide on my plastic toys    全瞪著我的塑膠玩具

Then when the cops closed the fair    當警察關閉了展銷市場

I cut my long baby hair    我剪了我的長嬰兒髮

Stole me a dog-eared map    也偷了一張狗耳咬的地圖

And called for you everywhere   和到處呼喚你

Have I found you?    我找到了你嗎？

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping    折翼的鳥、嫉妒了、哭泣

Or lost you?   或、失去了你？

American mouth   美國人的口

Big pill looming   大藥丸迫在眉睫 。

Now I’m a fat house cat    現在、我變成了肥胖的家貓

Nursing my sore blunt tongue    在照顧我飩頓與悲酸的舌頭

Watching the warm poison rats    望著保暖的毒老鼠

Curl through the wide fence cracks    穿進圍牆的縫裏、跑進去

Pissing on magazine photos    在雜誌上的照片小尿

Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean    那些扔進冰冷與純淨的魚餌

Blood of Christ mountain stream    滴著「山間小溪」基督的血 。

Have I found you?    我找到了你嗎？

Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding    折翼的鳥、摔下來、流血

Or lost you?    或、失去了你？

American mouth    美國人的口

Big pill, stuck going down    大藥丸、吞下去的時候、被卡住了 。
