Friends, The text on many Tibetan "prayer flags," such as the one below, is the dhāraṇī of the goddess Dhvajāgrakeyūrā (Tibetan phonetics: Gyaltsen gyi Tsemo Punggyan). This goddess is especially praised for pacifying and repelling all adverse conditions. This Sunday January 26 at 2PM PST our dear Lama Kunga will offer the initiation into this goddess and transmission of her dhāraṇī. Registration closes Saturday 25th at noon; there is no charge.

You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. I want a secure messaging app, should I use Telegram? Russian President Vladimir Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early-morning hours of February 24, targeting several key cities with military strikes. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number.
