Transcreation

Transcreations featured here are from Indo-Tibetan sources and are especially for our audience of Buddhist devotees. Experience Buddhist Scripture such as selected canonical works and traditional compilations; a variety of selected prayers, mnemonics, and spells. All the transcreations are chantable in the traditional ritual context—with metrical feet as the foundation we build it up from there. Sacred works are in trust to the public domain.

Articles

Articles are on a variety of niche topics relating to the greater theme of our site: Buddhism, poetry, and outrider experience in daily life. Articles are written with the rationale of one who's familiar with the fringe, who's eye is at the tip of the spear; who's gone, gone, gone beyond... and yet centered in sacred scripture.
