Dear friends, Can you believe this. So many things here are just so wrong in this article. Segregating people due to religion and religious superiority are both very damaging and takes us further away from world peace. No one’s religion is superior to another and all are equal. We must respect all religions. Do...

I will heed Rinpoche’s advice: “Control the anger till there is nothing to control. You can control your food intake, walking, urinating, defecating, spending, entertainment so why not anger”. All of us except the holy attained Masters have anger. I used to get upset and angry when my expectations were not met, but...

Sometimes we come across a very interesting documentary. It is riveting and keeps you interested as it did me. There are two subjects discussed in this documentary which is totally not related but both very interesting. One is about the Sabine Thing.

Dear friends, I have always been interested in Greek Gods, Goddesses as well as the Egyptian pantheon. It is interesting in every culture they have gods and goddesses and they seem to be described doing the same things in their ethereal heavenly worlds. They remind me greatly of Buddha’s description of the six realms...

Dear friends, When I was much younger, I would visit flea markets with my adult relatives and purchase as many books of all genres as I can with my savings. I would visit many libraries in the area also. I was a voracious reader and love books. I still love books. I recalled purchasing, at...

Dear friends, Here are nine special photos you must see, share and contemplate on. The old saying is true, one picture paints a thousand words. Maybe in this case, 10,000 words. Let me know what you feel about these pictures. They disturbed me enough to reproduce them here to create more awareness. May...

Tolerance is an interesting word. It denotes the object is at fault or difficult to deal with. Be it so in some cases as there is reality to contend with. If the subject changes the views, then the object although in certain circumstances are difficult, still the subject will not have to ‘tolerate’...

Dear friends, I just completed watching an incredibly inspiring documentary on the hermit monks/nuns in Zhongnan Mountains of modern day China called “Amongst White Clouds” by Edward A.
