Twitter is one of those concepts that I really don't dig. I could care less whether or not someone is on the cellphone with a famous celebrity while in a public bathroom eating a ham sandwich with honey mustard.
But lately I have been turned on to a really delicious Twitter site. Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche (DPR)is now on Twitter.
Rinpoche is acknowledged as one of the foremost scholars and meditation masters of Tibetan Buddhism in his generation. Fluent in English and well-versed in Western culture and technology, he is known for his sharp intellect, humor and the lucidity of his teachings.
DPR also has a great website that is full of some wonderful items.
What I like the most about his Tweets is that they really do bring me back to the present moment. My friend Kris in Seattle turned me on to DPR about 10 years ago and I am happy to say that my life has been much richer as a result.
Each day, like many of you, I get wrapped up and thinking about things that lead me away from focusing on what is. Rinpoche's Tweets are a subtle reminder to focus on the now and what is.
