I am very drawn to Buddhism, esp Tibetan Buddhism - Vajrayana. A psychic once told me I had previous lives in a sect of Tibetan Buddhism which wore a blue robe instead of the usual deep Tibetan red or orange. I can dig that.

When i traveled in Tibetan Buddhist lands, I was drawn to those monasteries perched on crags and hills. I even slept in a famous one on my way back from Ley - felt very much at home.

There is something about those high mountain passes and deep valleys where the prayer flags and chortens are found... the space, and the quiet, and those skies. I always would have liked to retire in a remote monastery high up on the Tibetan plateau, or even one of those small mud brick houses near a small river/creek, with an orchard, and little tracks that wander up into the mountains. Eating apricot kernels, and drinking chung, and meditating.

Julie often snipes at me that I always wanted to be a hermit. its true.

I got the feeling that there was something transpiring with regard to blue robes.
This time I stumbled upon this:

Not sure, what this is about. At the first glance, it looks like a splinter group who decided to start from "0".
They wear fully-blue robes, though.

More on these blue robe people:

I can't see anything in that which triggers recognition in me. I've always thought the connection was probably more related to the Mahīśāsaka Buddhist sect, or one of the healing traditions in Tibet.

I have heard claims that what are considered new orders or movements, are occasionally reincarnations/re-appearances of very ancient things. Just wondered if these people with their claim to the beginning of a new age and donning white-blue robes may be an echo of something ancient.

The issue of blue robes either in India or Tibet remains a true mystery.  :)
