"Our meditations and prayers bear witness to the poison of toxic waste and the inhumane torture inflicted on people, animals and plants. From the backwaters and jungles, the remote highlands and arctic villages, we have joined together in ceremony with members of local communities imagining a world without suffering." -Cynthia Jurs
Cynthia Jurs climbs up a long path up a steep hill in the Himalayas. She is a young seeker and is doing what you have seen before in the comics hundreds of times. She is going up to seek an audience with an lama who is over a hundred years old. She ponders what she will ask, given this precious opportunity.
She settles on a question that is about to change the course of her life, 'what can I do to help the Earth in this time upheaval, pollution and strife?' The answer he gives is 'Earth Treasure Vases', a magical kind of homeopathy for planets, apparently.
So, for the next several decades, this is her path. She goes around the world planting these vases to protect, heal, and bless the land and all those upon it.
Brought to Earth by Padmasambhava, the eighth century founder of Tibetan Buddhism, this practice is a Terma blessing, or a teaching hidden away until the time when it is most needed and appropriate.
Cynthia goes to places all over the world, meets with local the people, and together they create prayers for the healing of that place. This process in and of itself starts the healing.
Objects are placed in the vases holding these prayers, then they are buried forever in the Earth. These might be sacred images, statuettes, gems, medicines, scrolls, nature objects collected from sacred spots, and so on.
The intended effect is to pacify angry earth deities who are upset by damage to the land and nature caused by abuse by humans. These vases have now been put in place all over the world.
(You can learn more, and even get a specially consecrated vase to plant yourself:)
