Dharma Talk with Edwin Kelley from December 2, 2021. Recorded via Zoom.

Why do we want to be Bodhisattvas - Edwin Kelley [202112102] (TMAD)

Quite often we hear this from others: “Just let go.” The very nature of self-centeredness is to manipulate or take control of something. It just reinforces the self-centeredness. You don’t have to let go. Rather, see the way in which you hang on. It’s about looking at that area that’s not very pleasant to observe. In Trungpa Rinpoche’s words, be genuine, get to know yourself, and make friends with yourself. Everything is basically good.

अस्तीह हिमवत्कुक्षौ देशः पृथ्वीशिरोमणिः ।
कश्मीर इति विद्यानां धर्मस्य च निकेतनम् ॥ २१४ ॥
https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/kathasaritsagara-sanskrit/d/doc334095.html

astīha himavatkukṣau deśaḥ pṛthvīśiromaṇiḥ |
kaśmīra iti vidyānāṃ dharmasya ca niketanam || 214 ||

The lines of this song are from the c. 11th century Sanskrit text, the gargantuan  Kathāsaritsāgara ("Ocean of the Streams of Stories"),  attributed to Somadeva. A loose English translation of the lines would be the following: There is, in the lap of the Himālaya-s, the place called Kashmir, which is the very crest-jewel of this Earth and the home of Vidyā (loosely knowledge) and Dharma (loosely ethics and virtue in this context).

Whatever little work I have done pertaining to Kashmir [be it songs, papers*, some activism** pertaining to its representation in maps] is all courtesy inspiration from the Oxford-published book 'The Making of Early Kashmir: Landscape and Identity in the Rajatarangini' india.oup.com/product/the-making…hmir-9780199482924 by historian Dr Shonaleeka Kaul.

Kashmir as Pṛthvīśiromaṇiḥ (crest jewel of the Earth) & home of Vidyā & Dharma in Kathāsaritsāgara
