[Poem] The Sky Is Not Falling: Grandfather Fire Came to Remind You
From Lama Lekshe:
"A friend recently sent me a few sentences of unattributed writing that made me want to reframe my view of the recent fires. I had reduced my context to the ordinary and I wanted to open again to wider, more inclusive and mystical view that better accords with my practice of Tibetan Buddhism. I wrote this poem as part of a daily poetry writing practice -- and read it aloud at a recent Sunday service at Great Vow Zen Monastery."
Lama Lekshe (Julia King Tamang) has been practicing Tibetan Buddhism since 1994 in Portland, Oregon, Nepal and India. Her teachers are Bokar Rinpoche, Khenpo Lodro Donyo Rinpoche, and Lama Michael Conklin. In 2018, she completed a traditional 3-year meditation retreat in the Shangpa Kagyu tradition. Before retreat, was a university teacher and a consultant to colleges. Lekshe is the founder of Dekeling.
