orang37 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 ... snip ... I think the rain gods have forgotten about us this year...... probably glued to the telly trying to figure out whats going on.. Sawasdee Khrup, Khun Gonzo The Face, We think it more likely that we have forgotten the rain gods, and the local demiurges, tutelary spirits, ghosts, etc. Consider that the two vampires, Pu Sae and Ya Sae, who inhabit Doi Suthep, who required two personal visits and "reprimands" from the Buddha himself to neutralize them from their blood-drinking habits, have not had their required yearly sacrifice of a water buffalo for years (that was the compensation they were promised for giving up their taste for human blood). And, in Thailand, the systematic purging of a more diverse Buddhism that included Tantric, and what are now called "Mahyana" forms, in the last two-hundred years, have deprived us of intermediary figures, like Nagakanya, the daughter of the Naga King Muchalinda, who not only is serpentine in her lower half, but has wings: She has the power to travel in all three realms, earth, water, sky (to find rare bronze representations of her in Thailand you need to go back to the Srivijayan period). While Kwan Im (the female vahanam or shakti of the Dhyana Buddha Avalokitesvara) survived in Thai Buddhism in synergy with formal Theravadan cosmology, and Lu See, the hermit figure, the ascetic yogi who lives in the forest (Sanskrit: Agasthyamuni) survived ... the elementals and many other intermediary figures such as the little-known northern Thai fertility "goddess," Ypur (represented as a woman squatting with her private parts exposed), were pushed underground. "Global warming," and Chiang Mai's lack of rainfall, are just two outcomes of what we have forgotten. While our human component is too stunted, emotionally and spiritually, to sense what may be necessary to re-balance Chiang Mai's spiritual ecology, we hope we can apply the collective wisdom of the farangs of Chiang Mai (by "collective wisdom" we mean more than rankings of bar-beers and restaurants), to use "crowd-sourcing" of our collective wisdom to come up something we can do to help. Hopefully the solution will not involve blood, wandering around as "penitentials" scourging ourselves with bougainvilla branches, St. Vitus' dance, etc. We think a human chain of two-hundred naked farangs marching up Doi Suthep singing over and over "We've Only Just Begun" in the style of Karen Carpenter might be an appropriate sacrifice: or something like that. best, ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyten Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Very unusual weather today...it was overcast all day and felt about 10 degrees cooler. We even had an hr. or more of rain while the sun was visible. Everyone here is still exhausted however. I guess when the weather does improve, it will take many people a few days to regain energy and feel normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
