Thanks for your kind message. I use "mimosa" as my internet name, but I guess that I still can not hide my identity.
Most of time, people leave after the ceremony, I often wonder if anyone actually pays attention to the translation :-(
It is just a very lonely path....
hemantmorar@hotmail.com is your email address..so your name shouold be somewhere in there....No, I dont know who you are! :-(
Yamantaka was taughted in Seattle. I remember that very special day, it was raining very bad and very cold. A lot of transceivers were broken, it was the day that I set my mind to build an internet heaven for the non-Chinese speakers......8 months, I built TBSN. I hope that I remember it correctly...

mimosa03/21/02 at 20:26:04#4Re: mimosaYesterday, couple of managers took me out for dinner. My performance is ranked the hightest among all the engineers this year. While most of my co-workers are worried about job, managers are fighting to get me to their projects.
Does it make me happy? No, extremely sad. I remember vividly last year when we had a all-hands meeting, my another co-worker received a lot of compliments in the public. Couple of months later, he is begging to get a project and managers are talking very low about him. My heart acked when I heard it. He is a very nice guy, and he is my dear officemate. Deep in my heart, I know that I may become just like him one day. This world is very cruel. I really wanted to run away from the dinner.
Looking back, there is always something good and bad in every period of my life. No time is just sweet...the world of samsara is simply imperfect. The life of human being is not what I want.....
I love Japanese culture very much. Whenver I travel to Japan, I feel alive again. Do you know why. There is a Japanese word "yasasi"...meaning gentle, soft, and kind...You are treated with care and concern, you are always taken care to the extend. When Japanese woman smiles, she brings spring to the heart..that is where I call home.
okay, now, dont reply my post by saying "you have better luck than most people...""or cultivate and get enlighted..."..... I will simply ignore it :-)

I thought about it, and I thought that it might be Hermant, the nice Indian UK gentleman. He told me that if I ever go to UK, he will take me to his house to taste his wife's cuisine. Last time I went to UK, I thought about his charming smile. But, stupid me lost his phone!!! When I was translating GM's teaching, he gave me a cup of warm water in that rainy cold day. I held the water and prayed to Buddha to bless him......I miss him greatly
But, it could not be him. He didnt know me by "mimosa". He was not into cyber space. It has been so long, maybe he is out of TBS....oh..how is he doing?
I have been thinking....should I jump up and say, "it is you!!"...but what if not? I will embarrass myself!
I just got your message!!!!
I am so thrilled, excited, exhilarated!!!!
IT IS YOU
I am about to faint... :cwm29
