mystery


This is a mystery....please help us.
Marko has been taking pictures throughout the house and Mark downloads them for him.
This is a picture that Marko swears is of his eyeball.
It is obviously an Asian person...there are no pictures like this in our house nor could it be any of our asian friends. He, swears up and down, that he took a picture of his eyeball.
Any ideas????
As a baby he used to love the "om mani padme hum" chant.
Om mani padme hum is probably the most famous Mantra in Buddhism, the six syllabled Mantra of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara. The Dalai Lama is said to be an incarnation of Avalokiteshvara, so the Mantra is especially revered by his devotees. Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. In other words...be love...are the words that comes to mind..that is my translation anyway...but I am "simple"...like one of the teachers in my highschool Mr. Phillips said about me ...."don't listen to her...she's simple."
Marko used to repeat this "Om Mani Padme Hum" phrase and even knew how to press a sound file to hear it when he was 14 mos.
I think all kids are special and wise beyond their years when they are born....and they slowly learn to follow the ego more and more.
