The Hundred Tertons (གཏེར་སྟོན་བརྒྱ་རྩའི་རྣམ་ཐར།) is Jamgon Kongtrul’s history
On the ocasion of 5000 page likes 🥰 we offer you:
The Hundred Tertons: A Garland of Beryl. Brief Accounts of Profound Terma and the Siddhas Who Have Revealed It
The Hundred Tertons (གཏེར་སྟོན་བརྒྱ་རྩའི་རྣམ་ཐ
Foreword by KHENCHEN THRANGU RINPOCHE:
“The termas concealed in lakes and rock by Guru Lake Born Vajra, the second Buddha, and other great vidyadharas have been revealed by the hundred tertons, each of whom has taken intentional birth in order to reveal them at the appropriate time. This book, written by Jamgon Lodro Taye, gives their biographies. Thinking, “If it is translated into Western languages, it will genuinely inspire dharma practitioners,” I expressed this hope to the translator Lama Yeshe Gyamtso. He has gone to great effort in order to fulfill my hopes, for which I thank him. So that his effort not go to waste, I ask that you who practice dharma study this book, increase your faith in and devotion for these extraordinary tertöns and their profound terma, and bring your practice to its fruition.”

Arhundati Roy
Arundhati Roy wrote lot of letters to the National Security Council (India), complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter correspondence. She received back the following reply:
National Security Advisor,
South Block,
Raisina Hill,
New Delhi-110011
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the ISIS and LeT terrorists captured by Indian Forces who were subsequently transferred to National Correctional System facilities. Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in New Delhi. You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself; we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defence, to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to divert one terrorist and place him in your personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Mumbai next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint! It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers. We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommend in your letter. Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will help him overcome these character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences.
We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.'
Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group.
Please advise any friends, neighbours or relatives as your house guest might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually) since he views females as a sub human form of property thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will "recommend" as more appropriate attire.
I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his culture and religious beliefs' as described in your letter.
Thanks again for your concern.
We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man. You take good care of Ahmed and remember we'll be watching.

Yak Dung
Young Tibetan herdsman Lance takes the viewers on a special tour full of pleasant surprises: how Tibetan cannot live without yak dung. With temperatures falling as low as minus 40º C on the Tibetan plateau, yak dung is a valuable heating source for herdsmen. A non polluting fuel, it is used to burn offerings to the gods and light oil lamps. Children make toys out of it, while artists sometimes sculpt figurines of the Buddha using this material. It is also used in construction and medicine.
The quality of the dung is an indicator of the environmental health of the plateau and the yaks that roam it. In the near future, Tibetans may no longer live with yak dung. Will they still be themselves then?
Lance is a member of the Nyanpo Yuzee Environmental Protection Association. He devotes part of his time to monitoring wetlands.
