Wisdom of heartbreak - Modrost strtega srca

Posted by Clarity on 29 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: Buddhism, Shambhala

Invitation to a lecture next monday (only in Slovene I’m afraid):

Predavanje: Modrost strtega srca

ponedeljek, 6.10.2008 ob 18h

Ko občutimo strto srce, je to za mnoge izmed nas eden najbolj bolečih dogodkov v našem življenju. Naše srce je lahko strto zaradi veliko različnih vzrokov, a bolečina je za vse enaka. Običajno se jo trudimo čimbolj zmanjšati, jo otopiti in takoj iti naprej ali pa se vdamo jezi in zanjo okrivimo druge. Možna pa je tudi druga pot.

Naše strto srce nam lahko pokaže pot do odprtosti in radosti, lahko nas prebudi v nov svet povezanosti.

Nauki budizma in Šambale vsebujejo metode, s katerimi se naučimo biti z bolečino in jo sprejeti ter zaznati, kaj se skriva za občutki jeze, izdaje in žalosti. Tisto, kar se skriva, sta brezpogojna nežnost in odprtost. Ko bivamo v prostoru strtega srca, vidimo svet drugače, vidimo, da naša bolečina ni edinstvena in da je to dejansko to, kar nam lahko zaceli našo največjo rano - občutek da smo ločeni. Izkusimo, da je naše srce dosti večje kot smo si kadarkoli predstavljali, ter da lahko zaobjame tako radost kot bolečino tega sveta. Lahko si dopustimo, da spet ljubimo in zaživimo polno, brez strahu in omejitev.

Na prvem predavanju si bomo pogledali teoretične osnove tega pristopa, v naslednjem pa bodo predstavljene dejanske tehnike meditacije.

Predaval bo Robert Ivanc, mlad učitelj in meditacijski inštruktor v Šambala tradiciji tibetanskega budizma. Robert je predsednik Slovenskega budističnega društva Srednja pot, budizem študira in prakticira budizem 14 let. Njegov učitelj je Sakyong Mipham Rinpoče.

Predavanje bo potekalo v prostorih Vodnjaka Znanja na Celovški 61.
Vstopnina: 8 EUR, 6 EUR za člane Šambala skupine

Organizator programa je Šambala meditacijska skupina Ljubljana, ki deluje v okviru mednarodne organizacije Shambhala International.

Ubiquity and Najdi.si

Posted by Clarity on 28 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: General

Mozilla labs introduced a wickedly cool plugin for Firefox called Ubiquity. The video on that introduces it best, so go and have a look.

Since it’s insanely easy to extend, I’ve just added a Najdi.si web and map search commands to it:

najdi
zemljevid

They don’t support preview yet, or inserting into an email (I think :), but I’m working on it.
Edited:

If you have Ubiquity installed it will ask you if you want to subscribe to commands on this page automatically (see information bar at the top of the page). Otherwise you can see the source here, it’s pretty simple:

Don’t practice Gesar practice at 11pm if you would like to get any sleep on the same night…

going disco dancing

Posted by Clarity on 15 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Personal

Went to SubSub club last night where it was supposed to be an Oldies Goldies disco night… I don’t know if I’m that old or what but it definitely wasn’t disco as I remember it… what we were dancing to seemed to be a pretty fierce house music. Excellent nonetheless!!

Today I am crawling around like a slug… My body can’t take too much of these kind of nights anymore!

playing with GPS

Posted by Clarity on 16 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Tech

So, I have a new toy, a Bluetooth GPS receiver that works excellent with my Nokia E51. I got it off Ebay for 25 EUR, so it was cheap enough. So, for now I’m playing with it and trying different software.

Here’s what I have so far:

the excellent Nokia Sports Tracker - see my walk on Golovec today -this might even get me to excercise a bit more…;-) Hey, gotta use whatever works!
GPSed- you can track my current location here, or see my walk in Mostec
Magnalox seems pretty fun too - the only one that I’ve found that actually enables one to play back the track - so you can see how fast one went, where one stopped, etc… Check out the Mostec walk!
and a bunch of mapping software - Nokia maps 2.0, Google maps, najdi.si zemljevid,… Will try Garmin Mobile XT soon to see if it’s as good as they say. All the navigation software is payable though and quite expensive too, so I’m not sure if I’ll actually use it or not…

The web based stuff is kinda cool, but unfortunately nobody is offering a widget of sorts that I could put on my blog that could show the map with my tracks or current position… If i find some time maybe I’ll make something myself…
