Question asked by Leon
Dear Rinpoche, did you know that the Archie comics (starring Betty, Veronica, and Jughead) has added an openly gay character to Riverdale High? His name is Kevin Keller, and he has become so popular that they even gave him his own comic! In general, gay teens have more and more positive role models, parents and friends groups, and supportive campaigns like "It gets better" (which tries to dissuade them from committing suicide). Do you think influences like this would have made a difference to your own experiences growing up?
The Dark Watchers known by early Spanish settlers as Los Vigilantes Oscuros. Is a name given to a group of entities in California folklore purportedly seen observing travellers along the Santa Lucia Mountains. The earliest written accounts of the Dark Watchers date back to the 1700s, when Spanish colonists called them los vigilantes oscuros. According to Chumash folklore, the Dark Watchers are shadowy figures that stand atop the lofty heights, silently observing the land below. The Dark Watchers are mysterious, tall, shadowy figures that have been reported in California for centuries. They are often described as wearing cloaks and hats, and are said to appear around twilight. Whatever scary it looks we have Dorje Shugden to protect us. Even though there are spirits every where seen or not seen by our naked eyes we should leave them un disturb as it is. I do believe its existence every where day and night.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing this with us.
