How a hunt for ‘Himalayan viagra’ laid bare China’s iron grip on #Tibet
A man detained for months after being found searching for a valuable fungus tells of his harrowing experience at the hands of Beijing’s ruthless security forces
https://www.thetimes.com/world/asia/article/how-a-hunt-for-himalayan-viagra-laid-bare-chinas-iron-grip-on-tibet-6plrjpnz3 How a hunt for ‘Himalayan viagra’ laid bare China’s iron grip on Tibet A man detained for months after being found searching for a valuable fungus tells of his harrowing experience at the hands of Beijing’s ruthless security forces Rapke Lama posing for an interview in Kathmandu, Nepal. Rapke Lama says he was held for seven months without trial after being arrested near the Nepal border Arjuna Keshvani-Ham | Ankit Tiwari Friday November 14 2025, 8.35am, The Times Share Save On a mountain pass on a Himalayan peak straddling the precarious and remote border between Nepal and Tibet, two men charted a treacherous path through the freezing darkness. In Rapke Lama’s pocket was a set of Tibetan Buddhist prayer beads and a buti — a small, sacred amulet blessed by the Dalai Lama. Rapke and his friend, Karma Cheden Lama, were harvesting Yartsa Gumba, a species of cordyceps found only in the high-altitude subalpine meadows of Tibet and Nepal, and the world’s costliest fungus. “Himalayan viagra” fetches as much as $100 per gram in global luxury markets, which makes harvesting it the most economically important activity for the people of the Tsum Valley. The pair had made their way from Chhaikampar, a small village in the valley, and ascended to an altitude of more than 5,000m. At the Ngula Dhojyang pass, a crossing point that once facilitated cross-border trade, they began the gradual climb down towards Drakar Gonpa, a monastery five hours walk from the border, and into Tibet. Rapke planned to meet a friend there after chatting with her on WeChat, China’s most popular social media platform. It was about midnight when Rapke heard the gunshot. “People started running from all possible directions,” he told The Times. “I hid inside this bush. I could feel a few of the people step over me as they ran towards my friend. I stayed hiding for the whole time but …

“Once one finds the elephant, one does not need to search for the footprints.”

The Mahāmudrā Devotional Prayer BY RANGJUNG DORJÉ

Pointing Out the Great Way: The Stages of Meditation in the Mahamudra Tradition
Daniel Brown Ph.D. & Robert Thurman
Let me understand the truth of phenomena to be unelaborated: Holding this blissful state without attachment becomes self- liberation in its own right. Any attachment to harmful, mistaken concepts becomes purified in the realm of the mind’s real nature. This is the knowledge of the ordinary, free from taking up and abandoning, without anything to attain. The real nature of all beings is buddhahood. Let it come forth evermore for all sentient beings who wander endlessly in saṃsāra, and who, through their ignorance and their incessant misery, can no longer stand it! Let compassion arise with the mental continuum for all of them! Let there be continuous meditation, inseparable from the [relative] attributes. This is the supreme path, the pair, without straying, And when unobstructed, there comes the skill of infinite compassion. When this kindness has arisen, do [not] forget the truth— emptiness. Let there be ripening of enlightenment, reaching maturation with the well-purified buddha fields, With the special psychic powers that arise from the force of meditation, With the complete purification of buddhahood, whose actions ripen [for the sake of all] sentient beings, And with the perfect devotional prayer, which produces the Buddha’s teachings. Following enlightenment and path-walking there is no need for further spiritual practice, outside of living daily life fully. “Once one finds the elephant, one does not need to search for the footprints.

William, the Prince of Wales and faith-lite heir is unimpressed by its cover-up of sex abuse & in favour of disestablishment of the #ChurchofEngland
Sir Keir Starmer is apparently in "listening mode".
King Billy's reign to focus on 'him, Kate and the three heirs'.

#RoyalFamily #PrinceWilliam
COURT CIRCULAR IT'S no secret Prince William wants his reign to be all about him, Kate and the three heirs. Lesser royals will have to go out and earn a living, although King Bill won't miss them. Instead of spreading the royal net wide, he and Kate intend to support just a few patronages of personal interest. The military, sport and children will take priority while culture, business, animals and science will struggle. Naturally the reform agenda doesn't involve downsizing the royal estates or bank balances. If William pushes ahead, it will impact hundreds of charities great and small who enjoy royal patronage. The perks – a royal ribbon-cutting, garden-party invites for volunteers or a gong for a stalwart supporter – shouldn't be underestimated. William and Kate have already shown the old ways are doomed by not taking on any of the late Queen's hundreds of patronages, despite Brian asking them to share the load. Also heading for the exit is the global reach of the throne. William is happy to hop on a plane to watch football, support his Earthshot Prize and enjoy holidays in the sun. But he hasn't undertaken a full-scale international tour since the disastrous trip to the Caribbean in 2022, where it was made clear he wasn't welcome. He will not be disappointed if he isn't invited to succeed Brian as the next head of the Commonwealth. And what of the monarch's role as supreme governor of the Church of England? William, who sidestepped an investiture ceremony as Prince of Wales, is planning an achingly modern coronation and the idea of a series of oaths declaring he is a faithful Protestant and pledging to uphold the privileges of the Church grates for the faith-lite heir. He is unimpressed by its cover-up of abuse. He's keen at least for the oaths to be substantially rewritten – or preferably abolished, which would lead to the disestablishment of the Church of England. Sir Keir Starmer is apparently in "listening mode". Did anyone brief new Archbishop of Canterbury …

Longevity in humans is linked to optimal solar exposure. The reason is simple. This protects the 7 layers of energy generation inside a cell. The more sun human gets the more diseases they can avoid and the #1 risk of most diseases is AGE.

REVELADO en #LosArchivosDeBoris: #Boris #Johnson recibió un pago de £240.000 de un fondo de cobertura semanas después de su reunión privada con Nicolás Maduro en #Venezuela. Una factura filtrada contradice su versión de que actuaba como un simple canal diplomático. #Maduro #UK
Claro, aquí está la traducción al español venezolano: Los Archivos de Boris A Boris Johnson le pagaron £240.000 después de reunirse con Maduro, según muestra una factura La oficina de Johnson envió una factura a un gerente de un fondo de cobertura, la cual fue pagada, semanas después de la reunión con el líder venezolano el año pasado. Revelado: cómo Boris Johnson intercambió contactos de Primer Ministro por negocios globales Henry Dyer Lunes 8 de sep de 2025 19.12 BST Compartir Desde un jet privado en algún lugar sobre el Mar Caribe en febrero del año pasado, Boris Johnson llamó a su antiguo adversario político David Cameron, entonces ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, para notificarle sobre una visita. Johnson se había tomado un día de sus vacaciones familiares en la República Dominicana para una improbable reunión con el presidente de izquierda de Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, un hombre a quien Johnson, cuando estaba en el poder, había comparado con un "dictador de un régimen malvado". El otro participante en la reunión era menos conocido: Maarten Petermann, un gerente de un fondo de cobertura (hedge fund). Cuando más tarde se le preguntó sobre la reunión, Johnson dijo a funcionarios del gobierno del Reino Unido: "No es cierto que me hayan pagado por ninguna reunión en Venezuela". El ex primer ministro dijo que no tenía ninguna relación contractual con el fondo de cobertura Merlyn Advisors. Johnson sugirió más tarde que había estado actuando como un canal diplomático extraoficial, pero semanas después de asistir a la reunión de 45 minutos, The Guardian puede revelar que Johnson recibió £240.000 de Petermann. La revelación se encuentra en los Archivos de Boris, una filtración de datos de la oficina de Boris Johnson, su oficina privada, que recibe una asignación financiada por los contribuyentes. Los archivos contienen un contrato con Merlyn Advisors firmado por Johnson meses antes, en septiembre de 2023. El contrato, redactado por Merlyn, señala que Johnson, "a lo larg…
