This isn’t the interesting, focussed blog you might have been looking for…

"Pica Pica" has replaced my old blog at google, but without the dharma related material, which has gone to the chagchen site under the DangZang title, and without the translation material, which is now at my work site.

Oh yes, it's by Alex Wilding

  • Slow activity
    Yes, things have been very slow here. I’ve been preparing to move across the world again, and the move is now due to happen in the next few days. I should resurface in the “land of the moon”, Lunigiana, the northern tip of Tuscany, in one or two weeks time, and I hope that things will […]
  • Is Buddhism changing, and is that a corruption?
    Recently I was asked: Do you think that Tibetan Buddhism (and Buddhism) have been corrupted by Western influences? It seems like most Westerners interpret, or want to interpret, Buddhism as a religion with a much more social-activist and political bent.

While I was doing my morning chants, it took a mixture of persuasion and trial-and-error (particularly the error) before he accepted that sitting on my lap was just not going to work, and that he would have to settle next to me. At a good metre long with his tail tucked in, he just wasn’t going to fit:

Settled at last...

I take this as a good sign.

    Is Nougat a greyhound?
