These poems are about the little things in life, the snippets that make up millions of moments in time. From eating ice cream cones and reading under the covers in summer camp to dealing with life's clutter. But they are also about the "big" issues of life- aging, separation, devasting illness and death. However, even with these inelegant moments, there is often humor, because we do not control many events that cross our paths in the course of a life. If we can laugh along the way, maybe we can ease the pain.

A new translation of Tibet's most important manual for Mahāmudrā view and meditation This classic Buddhist work, written in the sixteenth century, comprehensively presents the entire scope of the Tibetan Kagyu Mahāmudrā tradition. These profound yet accessible instructions focus on becoming familiar with the nature of one’s mind as the primary means to realize ultimate reality and thus attain buddhahood. Dakpo Tashi Namgyal’s manual for the view and practice of Mahāmudrā is widely considered the single most important work on the subject, systematically introducing the view and associated meditation techniques in a progressive manner. Moonbeams of Mahāmudrā, along with the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje’s Dispelling the Darkness of Ignorance, are to this day some of the most studied texts on Mahāmudrā in the Kagyu monasteries throughout Tibet and the Himalayas. Elizabeth M. Callahan, a renowned translator of classical Kagyu literature, has provided new translations of these two texts along with ancillary materials and annotations, making this a genuine resource for both scholars and students of Tibetan Buddhism. This historic contribution therefore offers the necessary tools to properly study and apply the Mahāmudrā teachings in a modern context.

Welcome to the second publication of Blue Angel Landing. We're pleased to present work from some of the best poets currently writing and reading their work in Second Life (SL). The poems you'll read here have all been read live at the open mics held each Sunday evening (5:00 p.m. SL time) at the Blue Angel Poets' Dive, owned and operated by Persephone Phoenix, situated high in the virtual air over the sim owned by artist Kolor Fall. The culture of Second Life is wholly the product of its people, comprising many activities and behaviors from first life that frequently create great and powerful artistic experiences for the individual and the group. The "life" in Second Life is by turns seductive, inspiring, chastening, and familiar, with artists, poets, and musicians realizing daily how much they may envision and create in a world where only imagination defines the limits.
