| How Buddha Got It Wrong | | 2008-06-26 01:49:16 | | Andrew, anyone, comments please?-------------------------------------------------By Richard HandlerIn CBCNews The writers of happiness books — the serious writers, that is — are churning out works based on some pretty solid research. There is even a name for this group: "Positive psychologists."They are an upbeat bunch and I love them. They turn my brooding soul away from the pangs of intellectual melancholy and maintain a place in my heart as well as on my bookshelf.What's more, in the great sport of the media interview, they deliver. They tend to be great performers: Martin Seligman, Dan Gilbert, Sonja Lyubomirsky, to name a few. So, too, in his own way, is the wise and giggly Dalai Lama, whose The Art of Happiness was a best seller.

| No Buddha Required | | 2008-06-08 21:29:08 | | By Tina PengIn Newsweek Nancy Muriello, 37, decided a few years ago that she wanted to “empty all the junk” from her mind. So she began studying meditation techniques and practicing breathing and mindfulness, or being aware of the present moment. Now Muriello spends 15 minutes per day clearing her head of clutter. “You can really picture it as a reversal,” says Muriello, who owns Big Apple Power Yoga in New York City. “All the junk, all the stimuli are pouring out of you, so you’re left with a clearer, lighter mind and body. You feel very refreshed, very relaxed, and you have more capacity to take on new things.”Recent studies have shown meditation can yield a host of health benefits, from increased concentration to some relief from depression. Hospitals and clinics are including meditation as therapy, and medical schools are including it in their curricula.

| The life of the Buddha, the great teacher of all being | | 2008-05-21 22:35:20 | | The Buddha was born as a human being and became the enlightened one with his own effort and long struggle. It was simply the compassion towards all being that led the Buddha to preach his finding (dhamma). Thus he became the teacher of not only human being but for all other super human beings including gods of higher realms. His doctrine consist of anithya (impermanence), Dukkha (non satisfactoriness, suffering) and Anathma (no self, soul or control) nature of every being fully disclosed the reality of life. His teaching has guided millions individuals to liberate from suffering and also make this world a better habitable place. Even today there are millions of followers of the great teacher and many other schools and religions have adapted some part of his great teaching. Without his great disclosure of Dhamma, we all would have been fighting each other in crave and ignorance.

| Karma Creatives Buddha Balm | | 2008-05-20 06:26:00 | | Karma Creatives™ has created a concoction that has revolutionized the “lip balm” industry! Buddha Balm™, as they call it, is described as “a moisturizing Soy lip balm to soften and protect lips with natural ingredients and sun protection.” So not only does it moisten and protect the lips, but it’s also made with completely organic ingredients! That in itself is a definite plus. Why put something harmful on your lips when there’s a risk-free natural balm on the market?Buddha Balm comes in 8 flavors: root beer, grape soda, cream soda, cherry cola, watermelon, cherry vanilla, grapefruit and strawberry. Out of these eight I tried the grapefruit, strawberry, chery cola and cream soda flavors. They are packaged in the most adorable retro slider tins just like the Lip Smacker tins from the 70's and 80's. My favorite lip balm flavor of these would have to be either “Cherry Cola” or “Strawberry.” Each of these does the same thing to moisten your lips while pro | | By: The Makeup Divas Beauty Blog | | |

| nonsense of myriad reality and zen wisdom of buddha | | 2007-12-10 17:55:13 | | Buddha said: "I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot.I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons.". text credit via dis and pandemonium blog. photo credit: MysticLens | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |

Until now, his replacement has been selected by a committee of senior monks, who look for boy babies born around the time of the lama's death. Several possible candidates are picked out and esoteric tests and family background checks are used over several years to decide which child shows the closest spiritual characteristics to the deceased lama.

| Buddha's wisdom and Islamic teaching of 'renounce evil with good' | | 2007-09-27 19:13:24 | | 1.Once someone came to Buddha and started abusing him. He went on and on, abuse after abuse in a loud voice. He kept looking at Buddha for a reaction, but Buddha was as he was - calm, serene, smiling.This further agitated him and he hurled more abuses. Buddha again was calm, serene, smiling, looking more peaceful than ever. Then this person stopped for a moment. and said, "I have been going on and on, abusing you, but there is no reaction from your side. You remain in peace. How come!?!"Now Buddha finally spoke: "It is like if someone offers you sweets, what would you do?". The man replied, "Well, I like sweets so I would eat them and enjoy them".Buddha continued, "Okay, now if someone offered you something bitter, what would you do?". The man replied quickly, "Ofcourse, I would not accept it, I would return it to the one who has given it."Buddha said, "So I choose not to accept your abuses, you may take them back". At this, the man realised the wisdom and greatness of Buddha. May peace be upon Siddhattha Gautama Buddha, the enlightened teacher of humanity.2.Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel evil with what is better: lo! then between whom and thee there was enmity will be transformed as though he was a bosom friend. And no one shall be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint ... The Quran 41.34,35Renounce evil with that which is best. The Quran 23:96Those who patiently persevere, seeking their Lord's Countenance and are regular in prayer and spend in charity secretly and openly of that which We bestow upon them, and overcome evil with good.

It’s a tool for a living — a prism through which each individual can view their own spiritual quest — their search for truth, meaning and happiness. Traveling the world, Garfinkel went on his own search. Throughout the United States, Poland, India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, China, Tibet, Japan and France, he asked many questions of many people and was met with a mixture of burgeoning enlightenment, unlikely heroes and leader hypocrisies.

| Old reclining Buddha image Wat Pamok Worawihan : Ang Thong province | | 2007-07-15 03:55:51 | | Wat Pamok WorawihanIs located in municipal Tambon Pa Mok on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River approximately 18 kilometers away from Amphoe Mueang. Take Highway No. 309 (Ang Thong – Ayutthaya route) at Km 40, then take Highway No. 329 and 3501 to find a signage to Wat Pa Mok. In the temple compound, there is a beautiful gilded reclining Buddha made of brick, and plaster.The image is 22.58 meters from the topknot to the feet. It is assumed to have been constructed in the Sukhothai period. Legend of this Buddha image was that he floated along the river and sank in front of this temple. People offered sacrifices to the Buddha image before pulling him from the river to house on the riverbank. In the royal chronicle, it is mentioned that before leading his army to attack Phra Maha Upparacha, King Naresuan the Great stopped at this temple to gather his troops and paid homage to the image.Due to the erosion on the riverbank near wihan, King Sisanphet III commanded Phraya Ratchasongkhram to lead the removal of Buddha image from the riverbank. King Thai Sa controlled this removal and invited the Buddha image to enshrine in the new wihan in Wat Talad, 168 meters away from the river.Later the King commanded to merge Wat Talad and Wat Chipakhao into one temple and renamed as “Wat Pa Mok” due to the abundance of Wrightia religiosa (Mok) trees all around.

| A day with the Buddha | | 2007-07-15 03:23:47 | | Hotels.com and Cheaptickets helped me to organise the trip.
Just a quick note, the Buddha was awesome …. we decided to walk back to the MTR Station which took 2 hours so we didn’t have to get back on that horror bus (the Skyrail was not working … BUMMER!) On the way down we found this great spot. A detailed report about the Po Lin Big Buddha experience will follow once we are home. We are off to catch the ferry to Macau… eek!

| Idea for Complete Man | Zorba the Buddha | | 2007-06-21 04:31:00 | | The traditional concept of man was that of a materialist or spiritualist, moral or immoral person, sinner or saint. A divided man is miserable. He is neither healthy nor whole; the other half that has been denied will go on taking revenge. It will find ways and means to overcome the part you have imposed upon yourself. You will become a battleground, there will be civil war.In the past we were unable to create real human beings; we made humanoids. A humanoid is one who looks like a human being but is utterly challenged. He has not been allowed to bloom in his totality. He is adhoora, and because he is half is always tense; he cannot celebrate. Celebration is the fragrance of being whole.Only a fulfilled tree will flower. Man is yet to flower. The new man will be earthy and divine, worldly and other-worldly. The new man will accept his totality and he will live it without any inner division, without getting split. His god will not be opposed to the devil, his morality will not be oppose | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |

| Reclining Buddha of Wat Khun Inthapramun : Ang Thong | | 2007-05-12 05:02:00 | | This 50 meters reclining Buddha is housed in Wat Khun Inthapramun, Amphoe Pho Thong, 11 kilometers from the township. The monastery is located in the open air of the rice fields having no roof due to the Wihan housing the image being in ruins. In front of this image lies a statue of a man who, according to the legend, is Khun Inthapramun, a revenue officer who secretly took away the official money to enlarge the original 40 meters construction of the image. When the king heard about that and interrogated him where from he obtained the money he did not answer and was whipped to death, thus originating the name of this monastery as Wat Khun Inthapramun.source: hotelthailand.comphoto : moohinTechnorati Tags: Ang Thong/Wat Khun Inthra Pramun/Thai temple/Thailand temple/Reclining Buddha | | By: Wat Thai Temple | | |
