Through My Eyes

With all the work in the Grove and bringing in new equipment I've haven't yet had a chance to work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma.  Here's what I have been working on though, an orchard sprayer!   I call it  legah gyokpo or " quick work". This is a much bigger version of the hand sprayer I use to wet the clay in our studio! At 300 psi it creates a huge cloud of mist that goes twenty to thirty feet, maybe 6 to 10 metres; I should be able to spray each tree with nutrients and sulfur ( for a fungicide) within a minute which gets me more time to work in the studio.




Anyway, after a few minor mishaps I was able to put the gizmo together after taking it apart and carrying the peices to the Grove. Tara Drolma would have little trouble with such things of course! The enlightened mind is very adaptable and easily learns new concepts since it is unfettered from fear, anger, and misunderstanding about the true nature of existence. As we know the Dalai Lama was able make watches, generators, cars and other items of western technology work even without manuals and Tibetans trained by the CIA for the resistance movement in Tibet very quickly learned how to fly in airplanes on covert missions even though they had never seen one before.
