Return to Paradise

A longtime cherished Vajra sister reached out to me, seemingly out of the blue, to invite me to Dzamling Gar for Losar.  She plucked me out of samsara.  I had never been to Dzamling Gar and I hadn’t been to a retreat since our precious teacher transitioned.

The Evolution of an Artist Filmmaker Vladimir Maykov

My film making career happened kind of miraculously. I never thought about film making. Never. But around fifteen years ago, Eduardo Sagalaev, one of the leaders of Russian television, was having a spiritual crisis, got interested in spiritual teachings. He read my book on transpersonal psychology and found me and quickly we became friends. He suggested we make a series of films about my field. He asked for my help. This was around 2006.

Ode to Tibet: Motherspeak

“I wrote this on the occasion of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s publication of the first volume of  The Light of Kailash—when  such an occasion arose and this Ode came together in a jumble of extravagance and love drawing on three decades interest in the country from which I benefited so much and in honor of the Master who has been a tireless steward of his country’s history and my inspiration.” – Jacqueline Gens

Dancer and Choreographer, Mònika Lakatos from Hungary

I was together with my best girl friend at the Theater Erkel and we saw a wonderful Hungarian contemporary style performance with young amazing dancers. After that event, we danced on the road while we were going home. That was the real first moment when I felt, “I want to be dancer and I CAN do all the steps, jumps and turns.” I felt that I am a dancer.
