FROM
INSTITUTE FOR ASTROENERGETIC STUDIES (IAS) & MANJUSHRI MANDALA:
"Dear Ellen, Greetings from Ireland :-) We did surf your creative,
informative and nicely designed place and checked both, your textual
and visual content as well as your navigation. But most importantly
we had the overall impression that the motivation for creating your
site is rooted in kindness, dedication and the wish of sharing and
spreading enlightenment.
This attitude is a very precious one and shows your
ambition to make the net a more human and friendlier place. Beside
beauty, content, originality, and individuality we mainly try to
catch the spirit of a site and yours has heart, brain and soul!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! you are a kind and open-minded net-citizen and
we like to offer you our "Manjushri Mandala Kindness Award 2001 in
BRONZE". We would be honored if you would accept this symbol of our
cyber-friendship.
May the Tibetan dragon king (druk dru) and
the Golden Buddha grant you continued creativity, wisdom, positive
energy, insights and success. And may they act as powerful reminders
to keep the spirit of kindness alive.
With rainbows and light from the Emerald Isle, Hans & Thomas

ABOUT
IAS & MANJUSHRI MANDALA:
In their own words: IAS/ Manjushri is about "bringing together the
fields of Astrology, Buddhism and Psychedelic Research... (which) seems
strange or offensive to some. For us they are a whole. They all deal and
try to explain the same hidden nature of ourself. The light, the magick,
the energies, the potential of the inner and outer universe, the karmic
destination, the meaning of life. As advocates of an unorthodox and modern
interpretation and presentation of old wisdoms, esoteric knowledge, and
even religion we try to 'translate' those old traditions and their basic
ideas matching the spirit of the beginning 21st century. Traditionalist's
or better translators may have mercy." Good for you! The old
wisdom needs to and must translate into the new!
