Om Mani Padme Hum
I got a Tibetan Prayer Wheel for Christmas (we promote an interfaith dialogue at our house during the holiday season). It only had one mantra on it, however, which means it wasn’t terribly efficient (some wheels are loaded with mantras on microfilm and contain literally billions). I was able to find the appropriate font on my computer for Pali and printed out tens of thousands of copies of the mantra and carefully wound them inside the wheel. There are very helpful websites to show you how to do this correctly.
The Haul
Charlaine’s mother and I actually did quite well this year in the materialistic category of the season.
The Helicopter
I was very surprised.
The Xmas Day Nap
A holiday tradition for me and my three cats.
