I met Youkta just two days before we shot this video ... she was really close with a friend of mine, best friends really ... well known photographer Jennifer Girard. As luck would have it they invited me to join them for this shoot by Lake Michigan at sunrise. We got up really early and I was depressed because a good friend of mine, Carole Lee died just the night before .. there was something cosmic and uplifting about this whole magical experience. Since then I got to know Youkta much better and was so captivated by her. What a truely wonderful person she was. Tragically we recently lost Youkta ... but she lives on through our wonderful memories of her and her everlasting spirit. She was an amazing person and we all feel for her husband Victor.

ABSTRACT
Jon will describe the revolution in medicine that has occurred over the past 30 years that has integrated the mind back into the body and developed a remarkable range of practices for integrating one's experience, reducing stress, healing the body, coping more effectively with emotions such as anxiety, anger, and depression, and cultivating greater well-being and happiness. His work has been instrumental in bringing Buddhist meditative practices, as he likes to say, "without the Buddhism" to full acceptance within the mainstream of medicine, psychology, and health care, and has shown them to be effective in people suffering from a wide range of medical...

Milarepa was Tibetan Jogin, poet and great student of Master Marpa.
The mantra is from the kagyu Milarepa ritual. Milarepa - His Teachings Milarepa Karma and Samsara
(following on from 'the fleeting bubbles') -
"This is indeed very helpful to my mind," commented the physician, "but please preach still further for me on the truth of Karma and the suffering of birth, old age, illness and death, thus enabling me to gain a deeper conviction in Buddhadharma." In response, Jetsun sang a song -
Please listen to these words, Dear friends here assembled.
When you are young and vigorous You ne'er think of old age coming, But it approaches slow and sure Like a seed growing underground.
When you are strong and healthy You ne'er think of sickness coming, But it descends with sudden force Like a stroke of lightning.
When involved in worldly things You ne'er think of death's approach. Quick it comes like thunder Crashing round your head.
Sickness, old age and death Ever meet each other As do hands and mouth. Waiting for his prey in ambush, Yama is ready for his victim, When disaster catches him.
Sparrows fly in single file. Like them, Life, Death and Bardo follow one another. Never apart from you Are these three 'visitors'. Thus thinking, fear you not Your sinful deeds?
Like strong arrows in ambush waiting, Rebirth in Hell, as Hungry Ghost, or Beast Is (the destiny) waiting to catch you. If once into their traps you fall, Hard will you find it to escape.
Do you not fear the miseries You experienced in the past? Surely you will feel much pain If misfortunes attack you? The woes of life succeed one another Like the sea's incessant waves - One has barely passed, before The next one takes its place. Until you are liberated, pain and pleasure come and go at random Like passers-by encountered in the street.
Pleasures are precarious, Like bathing in the sun; Transient, too, as snowstorms Which come without warning. Remembering these things, Why not practise the Dharma?
