For 100 days, Traktung Yeshe Dorje, an American born lama in the Nyingma lineage of Vajrayana Buddhism kept a journal of short reflections.

Taken together, but in small considered bites, the entries will provide a rare meal to any sincere practitioner who recognizes direct and authentic spiritual discourse.

However, it's well known that more than seventy percent of those implementations fail to become a long-term sustainable solution, and some of them never get off the ground!The development and implementation of a reliability and asset management program most often focuses on the technical aspects of the journey and not the cultural journey itself. The journey is filled with challenges, barriers, difficult decisions, successes and failures. How does one understand these items and how s...
