Tour of the Yews and Jampa Ling!

-

What a day me and wee Betty had yesterday with the Yorkshire Paramili-trees, we went and seen the the spectacular brother and sister yew trees in Crom Castle, Enniskillen, these trees are unreal, go check them out!

We then went to Jampa Ling ( meaning place of loving-kindness) Tibetan Buddhist centre in Bawnboy Co. Cavan to show the guys around the place where all the magic happened for me and where my life changed from darkness into the light,  jumping off a viking boat pissed out of my mind one day at the lowest point in my life and stumbling across this place by accident was an affirmation of magic for me, this place is special!!!

We had landed down unexpected and Lobsang who is a monk down there and a friend made us tea and sandwiches and made us feel so welcome, not every day you get lunch made for you by a monk, love this place, is so cool and all the people who pass through it!

And what a setting for a Tibetan Lama to live right in the heart of untouched rural Ireland.

Thank you Lobsang for making us feel so welcome....


We then headed off to Florence Court just up the road to see the oldest Irish Yew Tree, this is another really special tree, every other Irish yew tree around the world is a cutting from this tree, it was a freak of nature the way it grew, straight, compact and upright and the needles are shaped differently also, seen in graveyards and churches all over the world and they all came from this tree as if you were to grow them from the seeds they will just revert back to the normal common English type yew, so cuttings are the only way to maintain its genetics!

I've had strange and mystical encounters with this tree before, I could feel it pull me one time, before I even knew about trees, it pulled me over to it and I felt this energy pressing on me, it was weird! I go and visit this alot.....

What I do find amazing is here we have in this part of the Emeald Isle, Jampa Ling where an exiled Tibetan Lama lives and just down the road from him is the yew tree of Annagh in Ballyconnel which is said to be possibly the oldest tree in Europe, which this tree only ever reveals itself to who it wants too and I was lucky enough to be shown it by mickey the Leprechaun, have went back on other occasions and could never find it again, then you have the Crom castle yews, which are some of the most unique trees in the world and up the road again is the Irish yew!



This whole area is steeped in magic and mystery, I keep getting drawn to to this area, I was guided here by something higher than we know and now my job is the middle man for the Buddhas and mother nature, telling the world how it is in my own little Belfast Buddhahood ways and as a result millions of trees have been phantom planted all over the world!

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
