      <description>&lt;h2&gt;THE DHARMA&lt;/h2&gt;&amp;quot; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Buddha believed that we are temporal creations born to lives of sorrow and suffering.&amp;nbsp; This suffering is a result of selfish desires that chain people to the wheel of insubstantial impermanent things.&amp;nbsp; Living according to the Dharma will help one eliminate these desires thus leading you to Nirvana.&amp;nbsp; According to Buddha, the way to deliverance is summed up in four noble truths:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The universality of suffering&lt;/strong&gt; - People discover through rebirth, aging, and death that life is full of sorrow.&amp;nbsp; We suffer this sorrow until deliverance is achieved. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The origin of suffering&lt;/strong&gt; - Suffering is caused by the false desires of the senses that have been deceived into clinging to the impermanent world.&amp;nbsp; The quest for immortality further aggravates human suffering. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The overcoming of suffering&lt;/strong&gt; - If false desires cause suffering, then the desires need to be suppressed, abandoned, or rejected in order to nullify their effects.&amp;nbsp; Ignorance of the way of deliverance and the delusion that there is a permanent self are the primary cause of suffering. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The way leading to the suppression of suffering&lt;/strong&gt; - The noble eightfold path is a sacred path with eight branches called right views of understanding, right aspirations, right speech, right conduct or action, right livelihood, right effort or endeavor, right mind control or concentration, and right mindfulness.&amp;nbsp; These eight branches are not stages that can be lived out in succession or isolation from one another.&amp;nbsp; They are different dimensions of a total way of life. &amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Buddhism's core beliefs Part 2</title>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;Buddhism's core beliefs Part 2&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&amp;quot;The Three Trainings or Practices:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;These three consist of:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sila:&lt;/strong&gt; Virtue, good conduct, morality. This is based on two fundamental principles:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;!--msthemelist--&gt; &lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;!--msthemelist--&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;42&quot; valign=&quot;baseline&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://null/_themes/topo/topbul2d.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;bullet&quot; hspace=&quot;15&quot; width=&quot;12&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;100%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;The principle of equality: that all living entities are equal.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;!--msthemelist--&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;!--msthemelist--&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;42&quot; valign=&quot;baseline&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://null/_themes/topo/topbul2d.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;bullet&quot; hspace=&quot;15&quot; width=&quot;12&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;100%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;The principle of &lt;a href=&quot;http://null/reciproc.htm&quot;&gt;reciprocity&lt;/a&gt;: This is the &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Golden Rule&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; in&lt;br /&gt;Christianity -- to do onto others as you would wish them to do &lt;br /&gt;onto you. It is found in all major religions.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;!--msthemelist--&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;!--msthemelist--&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Samadhi:&lt;/strong&gt; Concentration, meditation, mental development. Developing one&amp;#39;s mind is the path to wisdom which in turn leads to personal freedom. Mental development also strengthens and controls our mind; this helps us maintain good conduct.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prajna:&lt;/strong&gt; Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first two paths listed in the Eightfold Path, described &lt;a href=&quot;http://null/#eight&quot;&gt;below&lt;/a&gt;, refer to discernment; the last three belong to concentration; the middle three are related to virtue. &amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;&quot;Core beliefs of Buddhism:&quot;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&amp;quot;He compares it to a leaf growing on a tree. When the withering leaf falls off, a new leaf will eventually replace it.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buddhism, like most of the great religions of the world, is divided into a number of different traditions. However, most traditions share a common set of fundamental beliefs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One fundamental belief of Buddhism is often referred to as reincarnation -- the concept that people are reborn after dying. In fact, most individuals go through many cycles of birth, living, death and rebirth. A practicing Buddhist differentiates between the concepts of rebirth and reincarnation. In reincarnation, the individual may recur repeatedly. In rebirth, a person does not necessarily return to Earth as the same entity ever again. He compares it to a leaf growing on a tree. When the withering leaf falls off, a new leaf will eventually replace it. It is similar to the old leaf, but it is not identical to the original leaf.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After many such cycles, if a person releases their attachment to desire and the self, they can attain Nirvana. This is a state of liberation and freedom from suffering. &amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;From bottom of my heart&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the day when the hurt broke my heart&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the day when the word &amp;quot;love&amp;quot; pushed me over&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In that day I thought my life was meaningless&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But when tears ran dry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I learned to go through the word &amp;quot;losing&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;now I realized that the word &amp;quot;love&amp;quot; didn&amp;#39;t push me over at all&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, If pushed me forward, and let me walk again&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How much I loved you in the past&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My feeling&amp;#39;s still the same today&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But life has its way&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past I loved you the most&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I still love you with all my heart&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never regret that I used to love you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Time passes by slowly&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Collecting bad days to remind my heart&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though love has come to an end, It is beautiful still&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And after all life has to move on&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I could turn back the time,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would still let it be like it was&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would love you like I did&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And accept whatever that would happen untill the last minute&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do something for someone, I do it for love&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I cry for somebody, I cry from my heart&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remind myself there must be someday we have to be apart&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do something for someone, I do it for love&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I cry for somebody, I cry from my heart&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though love has come to an end, It is always beautiful&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I still keep it in mind&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>How many friends?</title>
      <pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:47:27 GMT</pubDate>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;How many friends?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The old man turned to me and asked &amp;quot;How many friends have you?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Why?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 10 or 100&amp;nbsp; friends have I,&amp;quot; and I named off just a few. He rose quite slowly with effort and sadly shook his head.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;A lucky child you are to have so many friends,&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; he said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A friend is just not someone to whom you say hello.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A friend is a tender shoulder on which to softly cry, a well to pour darkness and despair when all your other so-called friends have helps to put you there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A true friend is an ally who can&amp;#39;t be moved or bought, a voice to keep your name alive when others have forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But most of all a friend is a heart, a strong and sturdy wall, for from the hearts of friends there comes the greatest love of all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So think of what I&amp;#39;ve spoken, for every word is true, and answer once again, my child, how many friends have you?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And then he stood and faced me, awaiting my reply. Softly I answered, &amp;quot;If lucky..one have I. You.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; my&amp;nbsp;Father.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Starbuck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
