i recently heard a radio guy say, "who are ya gonna trust on this stuff; 200 years of modern western science? or thousands of years of recorded lifetimes of monks and yogis writing their experiences down for posterity?"

… only problem is i can’t seem to find "the spiritual database" anywhere … would i have to become a monk myself, just to learn the stuff?

The Tibetan Buddhist Beliefs are feared by most religions so I don’t suppose there willing to share there personal experiences with the world , You could start by reading The Tibetan Book of the Dead.

why are they made,how are they made whats the belief behind them? Where are you supposed to place them?

Tibetan Prayer Flags are traditionally found on rooftops, mountain passes, river crossings, gardens and other sacred places in the Himalayas. Made from colorful cloth squares in Blue, White, Red, Green and Yellow. Woodblocks are used to decorate the prayer flags with images, mantras, and prayers. Usually at the center of a prayer flag, there is an image of the Wind Horse which bears the Three Jewels of Buddhism. On the Four corners of each of the Prayer Flags, are images of a Garuda, Dragon, Tiger, and Snow Lion which are the four sacred animals representing the Four Virtues of Wisdom, Strength, Confidence, and Joy.

Tradition tells us the Wind Horse in center of each flag will carry the blessings of love and compassion to all sentient beings through out the universe. As wind passes over the surface of the flags the air is purified and the wind energized by the Sacred Mantras that are printed on the Prayer Flags.

Many People have noticed how the prayer flags seem to quickly uplift the environment they are in and bring joy to those that see them. They really have a beautiful noticeable effect on ones surroundings.

Prayer Flags come in sets of five colors. The five colors represent the five elements and are arranged from left to right in a specific order, they are arranged starting with the blue on the left.

The Five colors of Tibetan Prayer Flags traditionally represent the Five Elements

BLUE (sky/space) WHITE (wind/air) RED (fire) GREEN (water) Yellow (earth)

It is not by accident that I chose the movie Avatar as a video. The plot of the movie brought up in my mind a strong association with the history of Chinese invasion into Tibet, when Tibetan people had to fight a modern army primarily with arrows and spears. But this, of course, is only an outer resemblance and it is not the main one. There is also a more deep meaning to this movie, but to speak about it, you just need to watch the movie in full.

NAMASTE

I’m looking…but I can’t find what the UN is doing about it.

The UN doesn’t seem to be able to do much as Tibet in considered a
"unrepresented nation"
Here is some information I was able to find for you……..

Does anyone know any good sites?

there :

http://www.tibetan-calligraphy.com

What I’m trying to find is a good book on practicing Tibetan style Buddhism within my home, on my own. I know I need a teacher, but there are none around here. Can anyone recommend a book that would be helpful on a beginning level? Thank you.

Hi, how are you? I’m converting to Tibetan Buddhism as well, and I can tell you that it will be very difficult to practice Tibetan Buddhism without a teacher. Having a teacher and guru to guide you is one of the cornerstones of Tibetan Buddhism. The center I go to is a long way way, an hour and a half. If there’s a center that’s even that far away from you, it would be infinitely beneficial to go. Some helpful books to get started learning about Tibetan Buddhism are "Becoming Enlightened" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It’s a new book by him that I bought and I love it, it’s a brief outline of the entire Tibetan Buddhist path. Anything by His Holiness is the best. As far as the internet, www.buddhanet.net has helpful information on all sects of Buddhism. Another website which would help you would be
www.fpmt.org
The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition is a Buddhist organization that is dedicated to preserving the pure teachings of Lord Buddha and the Gelugpa lineage. I am part of a center that is part of the FPMT. Their website is good. Another good one is
www.thubtenchodron.org
Also try:
www.lamayeshe.com
There are so many other good books out there that I can’t even name them. But it would be a good idea to try to find a center and a teacher. Good luck on your path!
