Hi well i wanted to write a little about myself here so my visitors can maybe get a better idea who I am. My name is Jonathan and I live in Ontario Canada, I am a practicing Vajrayana Buddhist. My desire is to live my life for others, to be a tool for others happiness and enlightenment. I find there is far more reward and bliss in seeking happiness and end of suffering in others then seeking only for myself.Tumblr (3.0; @8theye)http://8theye.com/<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-7YY55cGio0?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>UB40 - Red Red Wine Extended Reggae (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7YY55cGio0&feature=share">noNejmak</a>)</p>http://8theye.com/post/24176164028http://8theye.com/post/24176164028Thu, 31 May 2012 23:46:54 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ldno5L2L1ruq1tvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://super-eklectic1.tumblr.com/post/23779103518/osiria-rose">super-eklectic1</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Osiria rose</p> </blockquote>http://8theye.com/post/24175989854http://8theye.com/post/24175989854Thu, 31 May 2012 23:43:40 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2leg1s2941qmj2hfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ambiguouslysavvy.tumblr.com/post/24097662312/why-is-incense-used-and-revered-the-burning-of">ambiguouslysavvy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Why is incense used and revered?

A fairly large number of reasonably sized rivers made hydropower an interesting alternative and large installations were made in the early 1900s. The main railways in Sweden were electrified from 1914 and onwards and at the time of WWII, a substantial coverage had been achieved by international standards. Today some > 95% of the rail transport effort is done with electric traction. </p> </blockquote>http://8theye.com/post/24152753788http://8theye.com/post/24152753788Thu, 31 May 2012 18:11:51 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvqx8nc2iK1r6zgkao1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://8theye.com/post/24076296528http://8theye.com/post/24076296528Wed, 30 May 2012 15:31:58 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4te8lNJcB1rvkk4no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://8theye.com/post/24076138293http://8theye.com/post/24076138293Wed, 30 May 2012 15:29:17 -0400“Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.”<br/><br/> - <em>Buddha</em>http://8theye.com/post/24075929109http://8theye.com/post/24075929109Wed, 30 May 2012 15:25:38 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4sti07NAf1r0frhno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8theye/7296574056/" title="Fire Drumming">Fire Drumming</a> on Flickr.</p><p>Mridanga drumming outside with a nice fire going that I built. :)</p>http://8theye.com/post/24009385619http://8theye.com/post/24009385619Tue, 29 May 2012 15:15:35 -0400MridangaDrummingIndiaMayapurKrishna<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4snsnSqQh1r0frhno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Thursday, July 12, 2012 6:30pm This traveling show will have 5 dancers, 12 musicians and a full drama troupe performance from the ancient Vedic Scriptures on the purpose of human life.
