New Buddhist sites & content!

Tho these forums be often quiet, we're busy in-world. Recent additions to Himalyan sites, power places and Buddhist content can be found at:

SL Yoga Ashram, Zoe (77, 134, 216)
Under development in the skies over Zoe is a three-dimensional mandala. We've launched a new yoga studio in partnership with SL's Real Yoga group (http://real-yoga.blogspot.com/), dedicated to the enjoyment of all forms of yoga. Animations, video and other rich content to come. Uni Waves is resident yogi at the ashram and officer of both Real Yoga and the Milarepa Land Trust.

Milarepa Land Trust HQ @ Drak Ye, Zoe (28, 129, 70)
Free Buddhist content, subterra protector chapel and headquarters for the Milarepa Land Trust, located at the south end of Drak Yerpa.

Tibet Photo show @ Drolma Lhakhang Temple, Wakeley (28, 69)
New content at this Green Tara Temple from the 11th century, uniquely well-preserved in RL and offering Green Tara's compassion and healing in SL

Medicine Buddha temple @ Chagpori Lhakhang, SupportforHealing (171, 96, 67)
In partnership with the most excellent Support For Healing group, this Medicine Buddha temple promotes meditation, healing and holistic medicine in Second Life. Free Medicine Buddha kit available here.

Future site of the Lukhang, Torch (169, 0, 82)
A small but important temple known as the Lukhang will be built on an island in deep water at the edge of an inland sea on SL's mainland. Apart from its natural beauty, the Lukhang is famous for its teaching murals that depict advanced yogic meditative practices. Generations of Dalai Lamas were schooled at the real-life Lukhang prior to 1959, still to be found in its idyllic location on a small island in the middle of a lake behind the Potala Palace in Lhasa.

tmp STUPA project
There are also a number of of sattelite stupas and small temples that reside in temporary surroundings. Usually 7-8 are scattered across SL, thanks to Uni Waves. Check URL below for current locations:

Tenzin --

As always, great job on developing this SL content. The Lukhang promises to be a very special place in SL, just as I've heard it is in RL.

Namaste -- Nate

Nate, thanks for your encouragement. When I visited the Lukhang in Lhasa several years back I only had modest inkling of its importance. Tho it is small, it is probably one of the best and complete illustrations of advanced tantric practice in Tibet. At the very least, it's one groovy little island!
