Catchy and uplifting pop track featuring guitars and synths. Care-free and feel good. A great 'wind in your hair' type track.

Piotr Pacyna - Spread Your Joy

The Bhadracaryāpraṇidhāna (Tib. Bzang spyod smon lam), i.e., Aspiration for Good Conduct, although so well-known within Mahāyāna Buddhist traditions, still preserves many mysteries. As part of the Gaṇḍavyūhasūtra, it is considered to belong to the time of the historical Buddha, while the earliest datable mentioning of it is 420 CE. When it comes to its Tibetan translation, there are more unknowns than knowns: we cannot establish with certainty who its Tibetan translators were, what was its initial translation version, as well as when and by whom it was revised.

Exploraton of its commentaries leads to even bigger surprise. There are six Indic commentaries currently available as Tibetan translations—five are part of the canonical collections (attributed to Nāgārjuna, Dignāga, Śākyamitra, *Bhadrapaṇa, and Vasubandhu) and one is an anonymous Dunhuang manuscript which may be a commentary attributed to Guṇaprabha in the Tibetan imperial catalogues. The five out of the six commentaries—attributed to Nāgārjuna, Dignāga, *Bhadrapaṇa, and Vasubandhu, as well as the anonymous Dunhuang commentary—are strikingly similar. Their similarity is not just an example of a scholarly tendency of the time; rather they come down to the same (currently unavailable) Sanskrit archetype that reached Tibet in multiple hyparchetypes.

Dr. Maria Vasylieva, RYI’s Assistant Professor, is a Tibetologist, Dharma translator, and interpreter. She is RYI TTP and MA TTIP graduate and holds PhD degrees in Political Science and Buddhist Studies. She has been teaching at RYI since 2018. She has also taught foreign policy and international relations at the Diplomatic Academy of Ukraine and most recently—Sanskrit textual studies as Khyetse Foundation Chair in Buddhist Studies at the International Buddhist College of Thailand. Maria’s academic interests include research and translation of Mahāyāna sūtras and śāstras, in particular comparative textual studies of Dunhuang manuscripts and Tibetan canonical collections. The talk was entitled "The Bhadracaryāpraṇidhāna - a Mahāyāna Masterpiece and a Mystery of Its Commentaries". She spoke with students and participants at RYI on 30th Oct, 2024.

SAY LESS

This podcast from the International Emergency Medicine Education Project details the diagnosis and management of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration (FBA). Two case studies illustrate FBA in a 72-year-old and a 5-year-old, highlighting the varied presentations across age groups. The podcast then thoroughly explains the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic testing (including imaging and bronchoscopy), risk stratification, and management of FBA, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention, especially in cases of acute asphyxiation. Finally, it provides recommendations for patient admission and follow-up. The overall focus is on educating medical professionals about this potentially life-threatening condition.

THE BETTER BELL

When I saw
that long red-gold braid of hair
dangling down the tower wall
I imagined a lovely lass
at the other end above.

But when I shouted up at her
she did not respond.

So I decided to climb 
a few feet up
and give that tail of hair
a little tug—
maybe she’d wake up.

But oh, what a chore—
trying to hook my fingertips
and toes
into the spaces between the stones.

Then
when I finally came within reach of it
the tail jumped up a bit
and so I missed
and nearly slipped and fell.

Though my better sense then said “no”
I hoisted myself a few feet more.

But as soon as I got within reach again
again the rope jumped.

Continuing in this way
I struggled up the tower wall—
whenever I came close to the braid
it again mocked my wish
and shot up a few more notches.
Apparently the damsel meant to tantalize me—
she’d make me earn her love.

Halfway up
I knew I should stop
but now
I wanted what I wanted
simply because I’d failed to get it.

I’d been told as a child:
success is always within reach
as long as you keep trying.
And now I didn’t want to unbelieve
a belief I’d always found so encouraging.

So even though my hands began
to ache and bleed
I kept following that cord
until it slipped over the gray stone ledge
to the other side of the wall.

Then with relief
I hoisted my tired body 
over to the other side 
and landed a patio of slab rock.

In the center I saw 
a massive bell
set in a heavy wooden frame.
Red sunset sunlight shimmered
across the golden brass.

But where was my ravishing beauty?

At first, I felt so disappointed
when I did not find her
at the end of the braid—
apparently, my heroic efforts
would go unrewarded.

But at least when I reached
the rope now waited for me

and when I pulled it tight
the pulley turned
and that big bell awoke—
a power sound boomed out—
the vibration tremored my body.

And when I let the rope go slack
again the heavy clapper landed on thick metal.
Again my frame rang.
Again

great waves of sound
spread over—all over—
the broad countryside below

to bustle the red-gold trees on the hills

and rustle sun-tipped wheat
on fields ready for harvest

while riffling the straw
on humble thatch-roof cottages.

To any frustrated wall-climber 
who’s read this far
I offer this moral to my story
hoping I may ease their pain 
with a higher truth:

though we pursue a foolish dream
and fail in our pursuit…

through our courageous efforts
we may pull ourselves up
and eventually arrive at a bell much better
than the one we thought we wanted
when we first started to climb.

Head Full Of Nothing 2025 acoustic

La petite Thérèse 2025-02-17 La parabole du petit oiseau

The song captures the essence of Manhattan at night, portraying it as a "symphony of dreams." This suggests a blend of aspirations, emotions, and the vibrant energy of the city. The lyrics seem to touch on themes of pursuing dreams in a challenging environment.
There are hints of both the excitement and the struggles associated with living in a major city.
The song seems to be very descriptive, and paints a mental picture for the listener.

Manhattan Nights

THE CRYSTAL GODDESS

I wanted to create a crystal goddess.
I would

transform a glob of molten glass
into a vessel so glorious
a mere glance would cast a spell 
over the innocent pilgrim
and awaken deep aspirational desires 
in their psyche.

Then maybe they would again sense 
the divine flame 
held within their meat and bones.

But my labor
though intense and loving 
produced instead
the abomination of a blob body
with a knob for a head
and little round pegs 
for breasts and legs.

Those tiny air bubbles 
permanently trapped
in the bloated belly
reminded me of gas.

No goddess would have gas!

But though embarrassed
I could not discard my failure
because it had been born
from a wish to give more.

So I put the inflated figurine
on my backroom windowsill
for only me to see.

Then forgot about it
until the power outage in December.

As I sat in the dark
I thought I heard a mousetrap snap shut
so I fumbled my way to the back
by the light of a Christmas candle.

Then stopped still—

what I saw was so real 
it seemed unreal:

the black oil of midnight
had filled the vessel of the crystal woman 
and there, within her bosom
the reflection of my candle flame shone— 
a suspended drop of liquid gold.

Enchanted I was—entranced

until the overhead bulb 
abruptly brightened the room
a few minutes later

or maybe I’d stood there an hour.

Now, whenever my night becomes dim
I visit the goddess by candlelight
to remind myself of the divine flame
held within the crystal glass 
of our meat and bones.

I claim to be a novelist, poet, essayist, cartoonist, graphic artist, peace monger--and I'm trying to be a world citizen. As for my backstory...let's just say I've lived and worked all over the United States.  I'm self-taught, for the most part, which is like stumbling around blindfolded while looking for the right door.  It's an on-going process. Lacking any true musical ability, I try to make music with language, while also making meaning.
