- The fiddle's sounding GREAT !!! I'm so pleased with it.....
On the subject of Tara, if you are interested, I can recommend a beautiful and very carefully researched book by Vessantara called 'Female Deities in Buddhism'....it has a lovely section on Kuan-Yin who smiled with us the other evening.........

- Thanks for your kind words, Rachel....the warmth of the Amida sangha is as inspiring as it is uplifting....bless you.....Gosh, yes lots and lots to say about Tara......She is the mother of the Buddhas....and is very much an active 'helper' to her devotees.....direct Dharma love in action, you might say !!
Namo Amida Bu !! Om Tare Tam Soha !!

- Hi Rachel.......hope you are well......I'm hoping to make it to an Amida meeting before too long, but as usual, busy schedules are a challenge....Just a thought on your reference to the 'Spiritual Arrow' in your e mail to me......Red Tara holds a bow and arrow made of delicate lotus leaves.......you might want to talk about it to her !!
