Blessings from the Land of the Snows
A Photographic Pilgrimage of Ongoing Spirituality
Simhananda
Preface Again, I find myself guilty of indulging in my most favorite of life themes— that of the eternal quest, the sempiternal pilgrim, the pilgrimage, the peripatetic peregrination to the Buddha, the Divine, the Holy Grail, or the sacred Philosopher’s Stone. Again, and without guilt, I am using the photographic medium in order to best express the pathos and the empathy I hold in my heart for this type of sacred seeking. May the book stir your spirit and inspire your self, to more deeply reflect upon the pilgrimage theme, and perhaps tend an E.T. finger to a potential higher octave of your Superior Self, so vibrantly alive and consciously sensitive within. Salutations to the inherently Divine consciousness of every reader, photographer and seeker of Truth, Beauty and Goodness, to be found in all quarters and countries of this endearing planet earth. B. Simhananda
The Living Buddha will not reveal Himself to you until you have unequivocally proffered and surrendered yourself to the ineluctable Onslaught of Life. The Lord Buddha will not reveal Himself to you until you have learned to patiently stand in a perfect position of openness... for the uncertain inevitability of Faith.

Under the dynamic influence of the New Dispensation of ‘Cosmic Synthesis and Universal Peace’ cannot men and women the world over get together, and bring to Mother Earth a united Human Consciousness... of Light, Compassion and Wisdom?
Is not the Great White Brotherhood encouraging Humanity to Light-arc its Consciousness toward the supreme Logoic Design; and conjointly, to cast a serious look with occultly-opened eyes, toward the farsighted Spiritual Plan and Purpose of SHAMBALLA’S WILL?

To be at peace with your pleasure is to enjoy the earth’s treasure. To rest in peace with your pain is to enjoy the earth’s rain.

The sun rises, be at Peace. The sun sets, rest in Peace.

Let the Lord... Desire for you.
A Buddha’s breath is a sweet-scented bouquet of Dharma Blessings. 91
The time that you spend in self-significance is lost to the Empty Self. 184
If you have gotten anything for free, it has already cost you too much. If you have gotten something as a gratuity because of Guru Grace, it has already been paid for in full, by Nobody.
Good indeed, it is, to die in Divinity.
Better verily, it is, to Live in the Lord.
