Pure Cashmere Prayer Shawl


G, H. The finest cashmere in the world comes from Tibet. Nomads carry it over the Himalayas to the
skilled hands of artisans in Nepal where our luxurious Pure Cashmere Prayer Shawl is made. It is
hand-knit of 100% pure, premium grade-A cashmere. This cashmere is much softer than department
store cashmere! After hand-knitting, the shawl undergoes a water process called sparging, which
gives a beautiful, organic texture to the fabric. Each shawl is individually dyed using eco-friendly dyes
and meticulously hand-finished. We designed the shawl specifically for meditation. It is nearly twice
as large as most standard travel shawls to completely swathe the body, yet not slip off the shoulder.
Handmade in Nepal exclusively for DharmaCrafts. 45" w x 96" l

As for myself, Tara said,


as long as samsara remains,
I will always return in female form
to benefit all beings.

Who is Tara? Tara is a female Buddha. In fact, she is the


manifestation of the wisdom of all the Buddhas, and the
goddess who accomplishes their enlightened activities. Her
name means Saviouress, and it is she who comes swiftly
to protect all beings from fear.
Tara was once a human being. Through countless lifetimes
of practicing compassionate and courageous activities to
benefit others, she attained liberation.
Many legends are associated with Tara. It is said that she
arose from the tears of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of
compassion, as he wept in despair because he was unable
to fulfill his task to save all beings from suffering. Tara
consoled him, and offered to assume the form of a female
bodhisattva in order to assist him in his noble endeavors.
It is important to remember that we are never separate from
Tara. When we call on Tara to grant our needs or to allay our
fears, we are calling on the awakened qualities of our own
true nature.

pioneering work, mindfulness is now recognized as a highly effective tool
for dealing with stress, chronic pain, and other illnesses.
Mindfulness is moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness, a way to
connect with a deep sense of comfort, balance, insight, and freedom within
our own lives, both physically and emotionally. These guided meditations
provide an essential set of tools to help support that process.

of people in hospitals and clinics throughout
the world. This CD set allows you to experience

Everything for
the Contemplative

Garden

Landscape as Spirit
Creating a Contemplative Garden
By Martin Hakubai Mosko
and Alxe Noden
A. Now in paperback! This very
special book explores the
innovative approach to garden
making and landscape design
found in the work of Martin
Mosko, a landscape architect
and Zen teacher working in the
Rocky Mountain region of
Colorado. Mosko perceives the
garden as a mandala, a symbolic
picture of the ideal world. All the
natural and man-made structures
of the garden take their place in the mandala as one of its five elements: Earth,
Air, Fire, Water, and Space. Balance is produced by the mind conditioned
by meditation and a clear understanding of its own nature. Mosko's work
incorporates principles of Asian and Western garden design. After explaining
theory and method, the book leads us into five of Mosko's sumptuous garden.
Breathtaking photography evokes the living spirit of these magical contemplative
gardens. Paperback, 176 pages. #BK515 $29.95 Our Price $26.95

Rebuilding Nepal Through Trade


After the massive earthquakes that tragically struck Nepal this year, the people of Nepal
are now struggling to heal emotionally and physically.
Relief workers in Kathmandu have told us that one of the most important things we can
do to help Nepalese families regain a sense of normalcy is to provide trade so that people
can once again wake up in the morning and go to work. We encourage you to support
Nepalese artisans and their families by purchasing products marked with the prayer flag
icon shown above.
DharmaCrafts has committed to donate 5% of the sales revenue of all Nepalese products
throughout 2015 and 2016 to earthquake relief efforts. A large percentage of our donation
will go to Roshi Joan Halifaxs Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund (NERF) set up through
Upaya Zen Center. Upayas example of engaged Buddhism is inspirational to us and to
our efforts. DharmaCrafts will also contribute to the Save the Children Fund.
