  1. That's a really beautifully put together video. As always, your presentation is so sympathetic to the subject matter. Thanks so much for sharing it.

    Can I ask, what is the image shown 45 seconds into the video?

    So many of Al-Hallaj's poems seem to point to the same insights of the nondual systems of Dzogchen and Mahamudra. So wonderful.
