The Tao of Joy Every Day by Derek Lin.

The beauty of Taoism is that the wisdom is simple yet profound and that is the strength of Derek Lin's book, The Tao of Joy Every Day: 365 Days of Tao Living. Its easy reference style makes it a great gift for those who are often too busy for deep, extended, contemplative meditation.

The book offers up easily digestible wisdom for when you need a quick bit of inspiration. It is a great way to start the day, and it's small size makes it ideal for a nightstand book. It's short but powerful entries are great for settling the mind before bedtime, or on nights when you can't sleep.

Another aspect of the book that I enjoyed was the ancient, Taoist wisdom is translated for a modern audience and tailored for today's society. Therefore, it's quite easy to see how the Taoist wisdom can be applied in our every day actions and situations. It's a great "stocking-stuffer" gift for this, and any other holiday season. It's a great addition to any Eastern wisdom book collection.

Bodhi Day Message of 2011: The Gift of the Dharma.

PHOTO CREDIT: Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree gazing upon the morning star. Image provided by the American Public Broadcasting Service, which was used in their documentary titled, "The Buddha."

Today marks the day that Buddha found his way out of the maze of suffering. Otherwise known as his "enlightenment." Countless Buddhists, worldwide, mark this day each year with personal reflection, meditation, and gratitude. For me, while the actual moment of enlightenment is to be honored, the essence of my celebration on Bodhi Day is that Buddha determined to share his discoveries in the first place!! Upon breaking free of the prison of the mind, he questioned sharing this information.

He wasn't sure if he could be an effective teacher. Remember, he was just emerging from the life of a hermit aesthetic who had given up on society and organized spirituality. Throughout his laborious practice, he had studied under many spiritual teachers, only to realize that true liberation comes from within. No amount of teaching can replace personal insight and awareness achieved through meditative reflection. Given this reality, he wondered if sharing the particulars of his discovery would even make sense or gain interest in a society that was so immensely ingrained in the pursuit of worldly desires.

Why would they listen to some barely clothed hermit who just wandered out of the forest talking about achieving spiritual freedom from just sitting still? Why wouldn't they ignore someone who would not only tell them that the way they'd been living for eons would never make them truly happy, but that even worse, it was causing them deep suffering!! Would he simply be wasting his and their time? But, luckily for us, the profound and unrelenting compassion that comes with the liberation of enlightenment compelled Buddha to share his discoveries. His compassion for those trapped in the suffering of materialism won out.

One of his realizations during his final night of searching was that he was interconnected to all beings. He couldn't have achieved his liberation had it not been for the aid given to him by others who came before him. Thus, given his understanding, it would be like the brain not sharing life-saving information with the rest of the body for him to not offer his wisdom to those would seek him out. It was up to the individual to decide what to do with the information once learned.

I believe that Buddha would be the first one to say that celebrating him on this day is kind but that the center of our focus on this day should be the Dharma itself. Perhaps he would politely remind us of its timelessness and that it is not something be created, but discovered. I think he would not want to be worshiped, because the Dharma belongs to no one and everyone at the same time. It is like oxygen or thermal heat -- universal and timeless. It is not something to own, or sell, or claim as solely yours. That would be like saying you own a patent on the sun. So, the Dharma itself is what I celebrate on Bodhi Day. For Buddha's part, I feel gratitude that he chose to sacrifice the rest of his life to share the discoveries he realized that night, under the Bodhi tree (the scientific name of a Bodhi tree is a banyan fig tree).

Thus, instead of a having a Christmas tree during this month of December, we get into the American, holiday season by decorating a traditional "Christmas" pine tree with Buddhist themed ornaments. Including, a star at the top of the tree that I made from local pine twigs, which signifies the morning star that Buddha saw during the last minutes of the night before his first day as a Buddha. And, at the base of the tree, we place a Buddha statue to signify Buddha meditating under the Bodhi tree. I hope you had a peaceful and renewing Bodhi Day (Rohatsu)!!

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Visits Burma.

Every minute of every day, while we sit in the relative comfort of our homes, Buddhist monks in Burma are being tortured in prisons. And when they aren't being beaten, they are huddled in dirty, dark and disease ridden cells. All this they endure because they wouldn't sit by and watch the people of Burma be treated like garbage by the dictatorial regime. Their courage was driven, in part, by the deep compassion developed from practicing the Dharma. They are the conscience of the world standing up and saying, "enough!!"

The monks have gotten the most attention in the international news, but a lesser known campaign of ethnic cleansing is occurring in remote, ethnic areas. The remoteness of some of these regions is a curse for some ethnic minorities because less people know they are even there, let alone being killed, tortured and raped. If revered monks in Burma aren't treated well, then no one is safe. But, thanks to concerned citizens around the world, attention continues to grow about the plight of Burma (Myanmar).

The U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is currently visiting Burma, so it is vital that we keep up the pressure to be the voice of the voiceless in a country with a proud, Buddhist tradition. Please, take a few minutes and send an email to Secretary Clinton's blog about your support for Burma, it's people and their revered monks (click on this sentence to be redirect to her page). You might not feel that one person's email can make a difference but I have been involved in the Burma issue for several years now and I've seen a change.

At first, most people had no idea where Burma or Myanmar was on the globe, and the U.S. government showed little interest in the affairs in the Southeast Asian country. Today, after years of awareness and relentless calls for action, one of America's highest ranking leaders is in Burma to spread the message of concerned citizens to the military dictatorship, loud and clear. So, please, let your conscience be heard!! Click on this sentence to reach the secretary's email form and thank her for her action. Let her know that you are following the issue and urge her to keep up the pressure!! We would all hope our fellow humans would do the same for us if we were in a time of need, so let us stand up for our brothers and sisters in Burma

Generation X Inheriting American Buddhism.

PHOTO CREDIT: Buddha Statue in Thailand by chok photo
From, "The Buddhist Channel": Buddhism in America is at a crossroads. The best-known Buddhist leaders, mostly white converts who emerged from the counterculture and protest movements of the Vietnam era, are nearing retirement or dying. Charlotte Joko Beck, a pioneer of Zen practice in America, passed away in June.

The next generation of teachers is pushing in new directions, shaped by the do-it-yourself ethos of the Internet age and a desire to make Buddhism more accessible. Unsettled elders worry that the changes could go too far and lose touch with tradition.

James: I understand the concern of the elders, but I had to chuckle a bit at the irony of their concerns, considering one of the core teachings of Buddhism is that change is inevitable, even drastic change. Younger Buddhists might have tattoos and spend more time meeting up with other Buddhists online, but the core teachings remain fairly unchanged. It's not like the "Hippie Generation" that many elders of Buddhism in America today emerged from wasn't considered radical and perhaps even dangerous by some of their Asian teachers. Yet, the "Hippie Buddhists" didn't cause the downfall of Buddhism in America. So, if Buddhism in America could survive the "hippie generation's" experiments with the Dharma and sex, drugs and rock n' roll, then it can surely survive the Internet Age.

Monkhood is a timeless calling. So long as suffering endures, there will always be those who seek to relieve it by deepening their Dharma practice through monasticism, regardless of their generation's predilections. Karma has a pull that is stronger than the internet, and when a person is called to take up monasticism, no amount of change will stop them. When I look upon the monastics of my tradition, Zen as taught by Thich Nhat Hanh, I am inspired to see so many faces from my generation. And, with Buddhism growing in America, there are likely to be plenty of teachers to come. It's an exciting time, so rather than fear change, let us embrace it and learn to adapt that change for another generation of Buddhists on this marvelous planet.

iLivelihood: Steve Jobs and Right Livelihood.


It is true that the inventor of the iPhone, Steve Jobs, was a genius and a true visionary. His inventions revolutionized modern society, which rightfully gives him a place among legends such as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. It is also true that he dabbled in Zen Buddhism but I feel it goes too far when Lama Surya Das describes Steve Jobs as exemplifying the Buddhist teaching of "Right Livelihood."

Right Livelihood is one of numerous teachings by Buddha on how to live a life with less suffering for yourself, and others. One of those is "Right Livelihood" which (in brief) advises working in a job that does not promote the suffering of others. Unfortunately, Steve Jobs oversaw a multinational corporation that employed factories that did not treat their employees very well. In 2006, Apple was criticized for the working conditions in a factory that made iPods and Nanos.

The workers in that factory (Foxconn) were made to work 15 hour days until 11:30 at night and could not live with their families but instead had to live in on-site dormitories. In return for such harsh labor they were only paid US$50 a month. It might be a decent wage in China, but if Jobs was a Buddhist who truly cared about Right Livelihood, he would have ensured better conditions, and wages. Especially when you consider how much those finished products cost and how much money they brought in for Apple and Steve Jobs. According to the article, workers are "lucky if they make two percent of the profit from an iPod."

In response to the revelation of such working conditions, you'd think a Buddhist example of "Right Livelihood" would immediately put a stop to them. Sadly, no. As late as this year, Apple was still using the Foxconn factories to build iPads, and the conditions haven't changed. The working conditions are so terrible that 14 workers at Foxconn factories committed suicide in a 16 month period!! It became such a problem that Foxconn had to install giant nets around the tall factory building to prevent workers from leaping to their death. Supposedly workers could only work 36 hours of overtime but one record showed a worker having to work 98 stressful hours of overtime. It was also routine for less productive workers to be humiliated in front of their colleagues and all employees were banned from talking.

Of course, such working conditions don't tarnish everything that Steve Jobs accomplished, but in light of them, let's not claim Steve Jobs was more than he turned out to be. He was a flawed being like all of us, and we do not need to make him a near-deified being to appreciate his genius.

The Dalai Lama: Buddhism's Teddy Bear.

When my world-weary eyes fall upon the aura of the Dalai Lama, it has the same effect as a light dose of the anti-anxiety medication I take. It is so powerfully calming and soothing to meditate upon his image that I can't imagine the energy that must warm the space when in his presence. Yet, truly he seems to regard everyone with the same reverence as we regard him.

It's always a dicey endeavor to speak of someone as "enlightened" because it's simply a word, whereas the pure state of enlightenment appears to be indescribable. However, his face smiles with such genuine happiness and radiant compassion that it's hard not to see him as more than a "simple monk" as he so humbly refers to himself.

I have a picture of his glowing face above my beside table and every morning when I look at that picture, I instantly smile. I find it hard not to beam a grin when gazing upon him. He's has all the innocent delight of a child, combined with the intelligence of a professor emeritus and the warmth of your favorite grand-father!!

But, I must admit, being someone who likes to hug people, I always look at a picture of him and just want to hug him like a child would embrace a stuffed animal. He looks like someone who would give good hugs!! I bet he'd be o.k. with a respectful embrace, and probably he'd laugh the whole time with that infectious chuckle he's known the world over for having. I'd laugh back, being a good-humored person myself. What a happy thought -- two spokes of the same wheel embracing, smiling at each other and simply taking joy that we are apart of the great wheel of consciousness, together, as it twirls through the mists of time.

That's partly why I think the Dalai Lama laughs, the humor of it all!! That, and I think he's extremely content with life and is thrilled by even the smallest of insects or humblest of human beings. I've heard that when you meet him, you feel as though he is as happy to meet you as any of the other millions of people he meets, and I think that speaks to his absolute love of people. He has mastered the practice of being present. I think, in his life, the moment in which he finds himself breathing, is truly, the only moment. And, you get the idea that it is also, always, the best moment of his life and that allows for his genuine energy to wrap you in its warmth.

I wasn't going to post anything today but then when going through some saved pictures, I came across this one of the Dalai Lama and felt inspired to share my admiration for such a great energy. The world is truly a better place with him apart of it. I bow to him with deep respect, admiration and honor. His presence and wisdom is a gift that will enlighten generations of people. May he always know of the love this world has for him.

And may you all know how much I appreciate your willingness to read my blog. I am far from perfect but that's why we're all here in this life, and may I say, I am grateful to have my life blessed with being in touch with such great people as you all. I truly am humbled by your kindness and you always make me think. I have the best readers in the blogosphere. Stay healthy. Smile and know that you are appreciated--and loved. Be well.

Nuclear Weapons Don't Make The World Safer.

The above is a nuclear weapon 600 times stronger than the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It is mercifully the last of the most powerful nuclear weapons in the United States of America. There is a profound saying in America about the greedy desires of building a massive military in the delusional belief warfare creates peace; nobody truly "wins" in a war. The original quote speaks of Air Force bombers but I altered it a bit to address the issue of nuclear weapons. To paraphrase, "It will be a great day when people get all the money they need for healthcare and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a nuclear weapons."

There is another quote that I like about the insanity of unchecked military aggression; "Arms are for hugging, not killing."

REPOST: Buddhist Economics

---This is a repost from 2009. I decided to repost it given the continued, poor economy---

We currently find ourselves in a global economic crisis. There aren't many in the world who can say that they haven't been affected in some way by these difficult times. Yet in between hyperventilating fits I am realizing that I knew this was coming. It's a cyclical thing.

Buddha certainly saw this coming all those thousands of years ago. I find myself depressed now and then that the world is in such terrible times but then I remember that this is samsara, and thus the world has always been in such terrible times. The reality hasn't changed but my concept of what is reality has changed.

My mind wants so badly for things to never change and yet that is impossible, nor is it desired in the long run. Imagine a world where nothing ever changed--would such a world even be possible? I say no. But that doesn't mean that we have to surrender to the suffering. The world is just as amazing, beautiful, beneficial and worthwhile too. We might have to look a little harder because pain is often the loudest, crying, baby in the mind but the good is there as well, to be sure.

I already knew that the economic goods times wouldn't last. The "Laissez les bon temps roulez" (let the good times roll) bubble has burst as Buddha would have warned us all. I think he would have warned us to save (even if it's only a little) money for these inevitable crashes. Yet saving means putting a muzzle on our desires because the mind would say, "Put it on a credit card; then you won't have to worry about not having the money and you can have that [insert material item that I'll tire with in two months].

Not so fast. Buddha would, I think, stress mindfulness as in all areas of life. If we are mindful of our money, mindful of the good and not so good about it as well as being mindful of the fleeting nature of it, then perhaps we will be more committed to living within our means. I think Buddha would advise us that credit cards are the Earthly, material versions of karma--sooner or later they must be paid off for there is a consequence to every action.

Buddha might say that despite our best efforts, and no matter how fiscally responsible we might be, sooner or later a devastating blow will hit us. Life is anything but predictable. "Such is the nature of this existence," he would gently remind my exasperated mind. I imagine him softly, slowly advising me of this and imagining that its calming effect like pouring cold water over raging, hot coals.

Buddha teaches us that we are all interconnected, which in economic terms means that we take care of the needs of our brothers and sisters more. That means perhaps living a more modest lifestyle so that others might have basic human needs such as hospital care, food and shelter. This isn't a popular one in our CEO-driven, "capitalism on steroids" society but if we were to look out more for the needs of others than we wouldn't need so much ourselves.

Yes, maybe what I'm speaking of is an utopia but still we can try our best to share and travel through this life together so that the greater good is accomplished. In the west we look at a person's accomplishments in their job and income but that is a false assessment of what is valuable because that is all going away no matter which bank you put it all in. And because it is based upon greed, we need to focus more on the Gross Domestic Happiness more than GDP such as in Bhutan.

We would also do our society a lot of good to put more emphasis and value upon people and time together with those people than making buckets of money. And upon nature, which is (if we are totally in the moment) one of the most wonderful things to experience; and you don't need much money to enjoy it. Maybe we should spend more time listening to the birds and the sound of the wind caressing the vocal cords of the trees, making them whisper mantras than getting the new iPod model accessory.

Another thing he'd probably tell me is that I don't have to have all the things that I think I need for living life well. I'd be reminded of the simple monk who despite owning basically only his robe and his bowl is happier than probably most people with all the bells and whistles of modern, material life. It seems so liberating to cast off all your possessions and walk a simple path of being present. When I am present, I realize that in reality, all that I need is the Dharma because it is the I Ching for all of life's questions and dilemas. Well, that and a nice plate of stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of sticky rice now and then (wink).

One final note, which comes right back to that impermanence of all things mentioned in the beginning of this post. We need to realize, I think, that we are in an economic transition period right now, all over the world. The old paradigm is dying out but we need not be crushed by the change because while the change is bringing turmoil it is also bring new industries such as the green economy.

It is an exploding industry that will not only give people good paying jobs, but also let them live Right Livelihood; all while healing the planet for future generations. We need to embrace this opportunity with our collective energies. Perhaps we just need to shift our thinking to see a better, greener economy that has been with us since the first winds blew across our beautiful blue planet. It has been with us since the first rays of the sun kissed our Earth and when the water first churned to create energy. The new economy is literally right underneath our feet--in nature. We help nature and nature helps us.

Wanted: Urban Monks.

"All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else."-Buddha

I really like this striking image--the pagoda speaks of the timelessness of the Dharma while the buildings project the essential, utilitarian-nature of day-to-day modern life. Perhaps some might try and crop out the buildings from this picture believing they take away from the pagoda. But nothing in this world exists in a vacuum--everything exists in relation to everything else. If the world were full of nothing but serene, Buddhist, pagodas full of chanting monks, who would provide the upkeep of this world that must get done regardless of the Dharma? We need "urban monks," as well; lay people who bring the serenity of the pagodas to office buildings, prisons, schools, apartments and every nook of this world. We can touch places and lives that a lot the ordained monks can't ever reach.

I use to want to be a "traditional monk" because I believed it would provide a haven from a world that I perceived of as pure disaster. I didn't realize then how foolish and naive I was being. I was only seeing the disastrous suffering in the the world because I was filtering out the positive stuff. Through meditating upon the pitfalls of perceptions, I became aware that I was projecting the disaster that I was ignoring inside my mind, out onto the world. So, of course, all I was seeing was a chaotic world!! It is a delusional trick that we perform, so that we can blame the world for all our troubles, and not accept our responsibility.

It doesn't mean we're bad people for making these mistakes. You don't blame the baby for shitting in it's pants, do you? It's simply being a baby--and so are we. We are simply being a typical but loveable infant who is trying his/her best to grow. It's natural for a baby to make a mess of things--that's how they learn. How are you going to know that some things are less helpful in your life until you make a mistake?

So, it's o.k. to shit your pants from time to time--spiritually speaking, of course. Shit, itself, isn't bad either. To paraphrase my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, without shit, we wouldn't have roses!! Our mistakes, fertilize the seeds of our good intentions to grow roses of happiness and peace. The key is to not blame yourself for doing something that human's can't help but do--make mistakes. This world itself is imperfect and flawed, so how could we not make mistakes? You are trying, and trying is a pro-active action. A lot of people are too afraid to try, so go easy on yourself.

CARA KAYA DENGAN RP 1.000,00

Kehidupan masyarakat dalam mengejar kekayaan, misalnya, pada masa pemerintahan 2004-2009, tidak ada hal seperti BLT dan sedikit bantuan dari pemerintah. untuk mobil-mobil mewah yang biasa masih ingin mengucapkan terima kasih, karena setiap hari ganti mobil untuk menggantikan Kantor pesawat naik alias.juga tidak bisa bahkan minibus pecah.
Bagi mereka yang benar-benar tidak mampu untuk menggunakan transportasi umum, BLT tidak diragukan lagi sangat diantisipasi dan diharapkan untuk menyertakan perjalanan mewah biasa. Saya benar-benar tidak punya mobil, orang kaya, mengapa mereka memanggil saya kaya?
Jawabannya, karena mereka benar-benar memiliki uang Rp 1000, dan kapasitas nominal tentu lebih kaya dari itu setiap hari menumpang mobil mewah.
Dengan ribu rupiah dapat kita berikan kepada orang-orang yang berbaring di pinggir jalan Dengan seribu rupiah yang dapat mengubah tempat ibadah Dengan ribuan rupiah yang dapat dikembalikan ke anak yatim dan banyak hal yang dapat kita lakukan hanya dengan seribu rupiah.
Jika Anda bisnis, tentunya Anda harus berhati-hati, jika tidak ada pembeli properti dengan harga seratus juta rupiah, maka berikut bahwa uang itu dibawa di bawah seribu rupiah, maka Anda pasti akan kehilangan, begitu juga bukan?
Jika Anda naik sebuah minibus, dan mempertimbangkan kembali atas kelebihan pembayaran menjadi seribu rupiah untuk memastikan Anda mencintainya?
Saya punya cerita, cerita ini adalah persaingan antara Jono dan Joni, saudara kembar yang selalu bersaing dalam banyak cara, termasuk pendanaan.
Sehari setelah setengah dari bangga untuk membuat uang satu miliar dari bank datang ke tempat yang tenang joni Rumah masih di rumah, dengan nada sombong Jono suaranya di kopernya. "Lihat ini, uang saya, ada satu miliar," Joni menjawab dengan santai joni, namun menentang arogansi "Jono, Jono, Anda hanya memiliki satu miliar sebaliknya, saya punya satu miliar, juga, tapi saya dapat menambahkan ini (dan meletakkan uang itu lebih dari seribu miliyar uang mereka),bagaimana jon ".? joni melihat uang itu jauh lebih dari mereka sendiri, setelah saya menjadi sedih dan pulang dengan wajah dilipat.

Troy Davis, facing execution, for polygraph

Troy Anthony Davis enters Chatham County Superior Court Aug. 22, 1991, in Savannah, Ga., during his trial in the shooting death of off-duty police officer Mark MacPhail.ATLANTA - An inmate convicted of Georgia, which has attracted followers of a former president of the Pope is set to be executed Wednesday after losing what had been the most realistic opportunity to avoid the lethal injection. 

Troy Davis was left with little to do on Tuesday, but hopes to be executed for a murder he insists he did not commit, after Georgia pardons board turned down his request for clemency. As his scheduled execution approached 19:00 Wednesday, his followers resorted to exaggerated. He asked prison officials to make a polygraph test, urged prison workers on strike or call in sick, asked prosecutors to block the execution and even seen as a desperate plea for intervention by the White House.

CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen described the denial of clemency as a "routine".

"Parole Board almost never grant clemency, so this is not a surprise," said Cohen. "Now, if Wednesday's performance will be stopped going to have to come from the federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court in particular, which last week halted an execution in Texas."

Davis has won the support of hundreds of thousands of people, including a former FBI director, former President Jimmy Carter and Pope Benedict XVI, and a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court given a unique opportunity to prove his innocence last year. State and federal courts, however, repeatedly upheld his conviction for the 1989 killing of Mark MacPhail, a police officer out of service he was working as a security guard in Savannah, when he was shot dead on the ground to help a homeless man who was being attacked.

Lawyers say Davis was convicted based on faulty testimony was in large part because witnesses have recanted, but prosecutors and the MacPhail family said they had no doubt the right man is being punished. (Left, watch "CBS Evening News" report on efforts to exonerate Davis)

"Justice was finally my father," said Mark MacPhail Jr., who was an infant when his father was shot to death. "The truth is finally known."

As Davis's lawyers to consider filing a new appeal, his supporters planned vigils and demonstrations around the world. Nearly 1 million people signed a petition asking for clemency, according to Amnesty International.

"We have been praying for her and with God on our side anything can happen," said Correia DeJaun-Davis, the man convicted 17-year-old nephew, a demonstration by hundreds of people in front of the Georgia Capitol on Tuesday night . "Let this be a case that highlights not only the death penalty, but is expected to be an important part in bringing to an end."

Later Tuesday, Davis's lawyer Stephen Marsh told The Associated Press he had asked officials of the state prison and the Pardons Board to allow Davis to take a polygraph test.

Marsh expects the Pardons Board agreed to consider the results of the test. The machines are not reliable measures of guilt, but "you can say something about the innocence," he said.

A prison spokesman said he had no knowledge of the application and the board of pardons was not immediately returned.

Georgia had initially planned to run Davis in July 2007, but the board of pardons he granted a stay of less than 24 hours before he would die. U.S. Supreme Court stepped in a year later and stopped lethal injection just two hours before he was to be executed. And a federal appeals court stop scheduled execution of another few months later.

This time, state officials are confident that lethal injection was carried out. Georgia Governor has no power to grant pardon condemned prisoners. Davis's supporters are asking Chatham County District Attorney Larry Chisolm to block the execution. But the prosecutor said in a statement Tuesday that he is unable to withdraw a warrant for Davis issued by a judge of the Superior Court of the State.

"We appreciate the outpouring of interest in this case, however, this issue is beyond our control," said Chisolm.
Spencer Lawton, the prosecutor said that the conviction of Davis in 1991, said he has no doubt he's guilty.

"What we have is a manufactured look of doubt that it has acquired the quality of legitimate self-doubt. And all this exquisitely unfair," said Lawton.

MacPhail was shot to death August 19, 1989, after coming to the aid of Larry Young, a homeless man who was being pistol mounted in the parking lot of Burger King. Prosecutors said Davis was with another man who was demanding that the boy gave him a beer when Davis pulled a gun and hit her youth. When MacPhail arrived to help, prosecutors say Davis had a smile on his face when the officer shot him to death.

Witnesses placed Davis at the crime scene and identified him as the murderer. Caps were linked to one hour of shooting before Davis was convicted of. There were no other physical evidence. No blood or DNA linked Davis to the crime and the weapon was never located.

Davis Lawyers say seven of nine key witnesses who testified in the trial have played all or part of his testimony.

Quiana Glover, who did not testify at the original trial, one witness said that he did not recant told him he was the real shooter. That man, who was with Davis that night, could not be reached for comment Monday and Tuesday and did not answer his door this week when a reporter visited.

"Justice must be served but to serve the right man," said Glover, who urged the Pardons Board to grant clemency Monday. "There is no evidence against this young man."

As advocacy groups highlighted the case, a growing number of dignitaries involved. A lot of conservative figures are among those who have defended in the name of Davis, including former U.S. Congressman Bob Barr, former Justice Department official Larry Thompson and a one-time FBI Director William Sessions.

Their concerns helped U.S. products Supreme Court to grant a hearing in Savannah Davis to prove his innocence, a move almost unprecedented. Two witnesses at the hearing in June 2010 stated that Davis falsely incriminated in the trial, and two others told the judge that the man later that night, Davis said he shot MacPhail.

Prosecutors, however, argued that Davis's lawyers were simply a rehash old witness had already been rejected by a jury. And he said he provided the trial court could consider the sound of the other witnesses who blamed the other for the crime.

U.S. District Judge William T. Moore Jr. sided with prosecutors and rejected Davis's request for a new trial. He said that while "the new evidence additional questions, a minimum of his sentence, is largely smoke and mirrors."

On Tuesday, Davis was spending his last hours quietly with friends, family and supporters, said Wende Gozan Brown, a staff member of Amnesty International who visited him.

"He said that in a good mood, which is the prayer and he is at peace. But he said he did not stop fighting until it's taken his last breath. And he said that Georgia is about to snuff out the life of an innocent man, "he said.

His supporters are exploring other options. State Sen. Vincent Fort asked all but a skeleton staff of prison workers to strike on Wednesday.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a group civil rights leader, said he was considering asking the President to intervene Barack Obama, a move that legal experts considered highly unlikely.

MacPhail family, who urged the Pardons Board on Monday to reject the offer of clemency Davis said that his execution will bring peace.

"That's what I wanted, and that's what we have," said MacPhail's mother, Anneliese MacPhail. "We wanted to put an end once and for him to get his punishment."

Angkota Andri came to the other three and offered to leave his home RS Pondok Gede, Bekasi. Then he entered the vehicle, tried to have sex with her against her will.

Police said Yogi Andri and then took turns raping her while Sebastian Aris grabbed her and stole their belongings.

Then he stopped at the intersection Trakindo in Cilandak, South Jakarta.

Police also said the victim did not report the rape, as mentioned above, and instead of returning to the intersection of a week to seek Angkota Yogi. When it was finally discovered last week, she started screaming at two nearby police officers to arrest the driver.

The incident was the second case of rape committed on board a Angkota within a month.

On 16 August, 21-year-old college student Soelistio Pavita Livia was raped and murdered by the driver and passenger of a Angkota M24 in West Jakarta. His body was dumped in a ditch in Tangerang and discovered five days later.

The two cases, in combination with a series of sexual assault and robbery on board public transport, have led to closer scrutiny Angkota police and drivers.

"This is an important step in the incredible story of United States space exploration," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "This is further evidence that we are committed to full implementation of our plan - as set out in the Enabling Act -. Outsourcing our transportation space station for NASA can focus its energy and resources in deep space exploration"

This year, NASA announced the retirement of its three remaining space shuttles. As a result of the U.S. became dependent on Russia to fly astronauts to and from the space station. Russia claims more than $ 50 million to a person, including training and support services.

Lawyer: Iran to free U.S. hikers

The Iranian lawyer of U.S. two hikers imprisoned in the Islamic Republic for two years on charges of illegally entering the country says CBS News the paperwork to see them on bail has been signed, and is out of jail on Wednesday.


Shafiei Masoud said the guarantee document was signed on Wednesday by a third judge, whose vacation had delayed the process of Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal.


Shafiei said the last remaining obstacle - a "minor" technical barrier to the transfer of $ 1 million in bail money in the correct account in Tehran - was resolved, and he was on his way to the notorious Evin prison in Tehran where Fattal and Bauer have been held for pick-up.

A report on Iran's state television network quoted officials as saying that "the two American men are free to return to America."

Ahmadinejad heads to New York without the U.S. hikers
Agreement to release the hikers U.S. Iran hits bumps

The process of reality out of prison could take minutes or hours, and Seyed Bathaei CBS News says it is still possible Iran's justice ministry and prison officers to try to complicate the release of any number of delays in the proceedings - but said all the hoops necessary signals had been jumped through, and the release of the men was imminent.

Bathaei says, given past experience, the men probably Evin head directly to the Swiss embassy in Tehran - who has cared for Washington's interests in Iran since diplomatic relations officer with the U.S. broke.

A Swiss Embassy convoy was arriving at Evin prison after Wednesday morning but had to wait outside the room until he got the documents signed Shafiei bail.

The couple could be on a plane at the international airport in Tehran, went to a far destination clearly on the outside, later on Wednesday.

Fattal and Bauer were arrested along with her friend Sarah Shourd when he allegedly crossed the border between a poorly marked area of ​​natural beauty Iraq and Iran.

Shourd was launched in September 2010 on $ 500,000 bail and returned to the United States. Shourd case officially remains open in Iran, but has a vigorous campaign for the release of her friends since returning to the U.S.

The three were initially accused of being spies for U.S. But his arrest is largely used as currency by the Iranian regime is in permanent dispute with the U.S. government on the nuclear aspirations of the Republic.

"The legal process in respect of the hikers was not normal," prominent Iranian lawyer Mustafaei Muhammad, who was not involved in the case of men, told CBS News last week. "They have been taken hostage. They were used by the Supreme Leader, because of the hostility between Iran and the U.S."

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York this week for a meeting of the General Assembly, was widely seen as intended to ensure "public tours to match your time on U.S. soil.

But Ahmadinejad's own tense relations with the Muslim hard-line clerics in reality all the power in Iran has led to false starts serveral the liberation of the excursionists.

Google Inc (GOOG.O) and Facebook brought out a variety of new social networking features on the back-to-back announcements on Tuesday, underlining the increased competition of Internet users.

Google has integrated its search engine in its flagship three-month-old social networks - with the membership and is open to the public Internet - and expanded its "meeting places" video-chat feature to allow mobile use and broadcasting.

The company said on its official blog welcomed the gathering places role - in which up to nine people can connect and chat with a user in the video - will be available in camera-equipped smartphone works with its own Android software.

"We're far from done, but with the improvements we've made so far we are ready to move from field testing the beta," said Gundotra.

How to search for truth

A summary of the Kalama Sutta (Free Basic Research), a guide to finding the truth with wisdom, as taught by the Buddha:

During his life, Buddha once came to a village inhabited by people of Kalama. Kalama tribes including the most intelligent group of people and scholars in India. He went to ask the Buddha, "How do we know what is taught right? All other spiritual masters (over 60 religious beliefs at the time) came saying that teach only one thing is certain, that all other teaching is not true. "

In response, the Buddha smiled softly and replied:

1. Do not believe what you hear just because you've heard it all the time.
2. Do not blindly follow tradition just because it has been practiced for generations as well.
3. No rumors you hooked.
4. Do not believe everything just because you disagree with his writings.
5. Make no assumptions are stupid.
6. Do not jump to conclusions based on what they see and hear.
7. Do not be fooled by outward appearances.
8. They have strong views and ideas on anything just because she likes.
9. Do not accept everything you see that makes sense as a fact.
10. Do not believe everything just out of respect and resist their spiritual teachers.
You should be able to cope with the opinions and beliefs. You can reject all that if accepted and implemented leading to increased anger (hatred), greed (desire), and ignorance (look bad). The knowledge that you are angry, greedy, or are not based on the belief or opinion inner darkness. Remember that anger, greed and ignorance is reprehensible in the world. That are not useful and should be avoided.

Instead, you can accept all that if accepted and implemented to bring unconditional love, kebercukupan, and Wisdom. These things will allow at any time and place to develop the mind of a happy and peaceful. Therefore, it is advisable to keep your unconditional love, kebercukupan, and Wisdom.

This should be your criterion of what is truth and what not, about what constitutes a spiritual practice and what is not. "

At that time, Kalama people satisfied and with a heart and an open mind, embrace the spirit of free inquiry, listening, questioning, and accept the Buddha's teachings wholeheartedly.

The Way of Rich With Rp 1.000,00

1960 1000 Rupiah Indonesian note
People's lives in pursuit of wealth, for example, during the reign of 2004-2009, there is no such thing as a BLT and a little help from the government. to the usual luxury cars still want to thank the CAT, as each day replace the car to replace the Office of the shuttle rose alias. also could not even minibus broke. 

For those who are completely unable to use public transport, the BLT is undoubtedly highly anticipated and is expected to include the usual luxury ride. I really do not have a car, a wealthy person, why they call me rich?

The answer, because they actually have money USD 1000, and its nominal capacity are certainly richer than that every day aboard a luxury car.

With a thousand rupiahs we can give to those who lying on the roadside
With a thousand rupiahs that can turn a place of worship
With thousands of rupiahs that can be returned to the orphans and a lot of things we can done with just a thousand rupiahs.

If you are a business, surely you must be careful, if there are no buyers of the property with the price of a hundred million rupiahs, then it follows that the money was brought under a thousand rupiahs, then you will definitely lose, so is not it?

If you are riding a minibus, and taking into account a refund for overpayment becomes a thousand rupiahs to make sure you love him? 

I have a story, this story is the rivalry between jono and Joni, twin brothers who always competes in many ways, including funding.

A day after half of the proud to make money one billion from the bank came to a quiet place joni House still at home, with jono cocky tone of his voice was in his suitcase. 
"Look at this, my money, there are one billion," 
Joni replied with joni casual, yet opposed the arrogance "Jono, Jono, you only have one billion on the contrary, I have one billion, as well, but I can add this (and put the money over one thousand miliyar their money), how jon? ". 
joni see the money was much more of their own, after I became sad and go home with a face folded.

Euro falls on downgrade Italy, Greece concerns

U.S. dollar, euro and Swiss franc bank notes are seen in a bank in Budapest August 8, 2011.REUTERS/Bernadett SzaboThe euro fell sharply on Tuesday, nearing a seven-month low against the dollar after Standard and Poor's cut its debt rating in Italy and as investors worry about whether Greece can borrow money much needed cash international lenders.

These concerns encouraged investors to exit a wide range of riskier assets, with the Australian dollar briefly linked with the growth economy, currency hit a one-month low and emerging as the Brazilian real is under heavy pressure.

The European single currency hit a session low of $ 1.3599 after the news from Italy, but trimmed some losses as traders reached an agreement with the cut classification.

"The downgrade is clearly negative for the euro, but I do not think anyone at this stage is particularly surprised or shocked that happened," Teppei said Ino, currency analyst at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in Tokyo.

"The downward trend in the euro is likely to continue, but it will not be a simple depression - It seems that Euro traders are short, but every little positive news coverage of solid shot short."

Trade was 0.3 percent, to $ 1.3644, surpassing back to a seven-month low of $ 1.3495 hit last week. A break of this level could pave the way for a test of 1.3410 U.S. dollars, the decrease of 50 percent of its rise since June last year to May this year.

S & P cut ratings of Italy has preceded any move by Moody, who had expected that the first credit rating agency to downgrade the country.

The common currency was soon found solace in recent operations in the U.S. Greece on Monday after he said it was close to an agreement with its international creditors, although investors were far from convinced.

Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the country call the conference with its international creditors was successful and will continue on Tuesday, but added some still left to do.

Against the yen, the euro fell 0.3 percent to 104.45 yen, a stone's throw of at least 10 years of 103.90 yen hit last week.

FED FOCUS

Fears of global economic instability, given the turmoil in Europe and a slowdown in the United States also led market players to sell risky assets such as stocks, commodities, emerging currencies while the economy as the won Korean and Singapore dollar, which have less liquid than the U.S. dollar, it came down on Monday.

The Australian dollar fell 0.6 percent to a fresh one-month low of $ 1.0148. But recovered to trade a little above the levels of late New York on $ 1. 0235 after several minutes Reserve Bank of Australia policy meeting in September said the bank remains concerned about the inflation outlook in the medium term.

Although the market has priced in big cuts in interest rates later this year, the RBA noted that a number of technical factors means that market prices is not necessarily a true reflection of the political expectations money.

Weakness in Asian currencies, with the softer euro helped the dollar index - an indicator of the performance of the dollar against a basket of currencies - hover at 77,228, within shouting distance of 7-month peak reached 77.784 last week.

The dollar could be hurt if the U.S. Federal Reserve to take bolder steps to facilitate the markets expect on Wednesday, when it ends a two-day meeting. But many analysts suspect that U.S. inflation relatively high U.S. may slow central banks of the wide-scale adoption of acceleration.

"A great read of the CPI does not justify the quantitative easing. But if the Fed does not do what people are already expecting that could destabilize the markets, so you have to do what is expected," said Koji Fukaya, chief strategist Currency Credit Suisse in Tokyo.

The Fed is expected to try to push long-term, low interest rates even lower this week by the bias toward longer-term bonds in its portfolio, a move known as Operation rotation.

The Japanese yen was little changed at 76.60 yen per dollar, near a record high of 75.94 yen hit last month, despite the caution about the possibility of intervention by Japanese authorities are kept under control.

"Leaving aside the question of whether the yen is a safe asset, the repatriation of Japanese investors is likely to support the yen, for now, as both the euro and the dollar only negative factors," said Makoto Noji, strategist at Nikko Securities SMBC.

Netflix Move Sets up potential sale or spin-off

Decision of Netflix Inc. (NFLX) 's DVD to divide its operations from the service of transmission of strains of reduced emblematic mail order business and paves the way for an eventual exit, analysts said.
A pure-play business online would be smaller and faster growth, more freedom to experiment, said George Askew, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore.
"The separation of the transmission line and DVD will be the stage for the division or the sale of the DVD business in the future," said Askew, who has a "hold" rating on the shares.
Netflix has dropped 31 percent in the last three trading days as investors react to cuts in Los Gatos, California-based forecasting firm underwriting and business plans to separate DVD in the mail service called Qwikster. Netflix appears to be "actively trying to push people out" of the disc business, said Tony Wible, an analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia.
The DVD and transmission units have evolved differently, said Rich Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG LLC in New York.
"A company is global, one local," said Greenfield. "One is based on a physical medium and the other in digital. This is to align the business from top to bottom."
Netflix said it has no plans to go mail order and that the division reflects different growth trajectories. In a blog over the weekend announcing the changes, CEO Reed Hastings apologized to the guests about the handling of a change in price in July, which increased the monthly cost of 60 percent for subscribers to stream movies and DVD rentals by mail.
"It is clear from the feedback in the past two months that many members felt that it lacked respect and humility in the way they announced the separation of DVDs and streaming, and changes in prices," said Hastings.
Shares fall
Netflix fell $ 11.44, or 7.4 percent, to $ 143.75 yesterday in Nasdaq Stock Market. The shares have fallen 18 percent this year after more than three times in 2010 and nearly double in 2009.
Not everyone expects a sale. Wible, an analyst at Janney Montgomery, puts the odds of a sale or spin-off in less than 50 percent due to the difficulty of finding a buyer or investors who want shares in a DVD rental by mail.
The mail order business is worth eight to 10 times earnings, or about $ 20 per share Netflix said Wible, who has a sell recommendation long on stocks.
"I think you'd find a great deal of skepticism, as the Postal Service seeking an initial public offering at this time," said Wible. "There are issues that will only get worse."
Hastings wants to accelerate the migration of consumers from the rental of physical discs for transmission of films and television programs. About 12 million 25 million Netflix customers, in addition to using both mail and streaming service.
Like music, like the DVD?
Netflix CEO also suggested that the mail order business, while shrinking, has a long career ahead. In a July conference call, it is estimated that the DVD business can decrease by 10 percent a year.
"What we do know is that we will maximize every opportunity is there," said Hastings on July 25.
Netflix cut its forecast for the third quarter of subscribers September 15, two weeks after the price change went into effect. The company cut its national estimate of 2.2 million DVD subscribers only 3 million dollars and said the U.S. streaming users only amount to 9.8 million, down from 10 million seen before.
With the split, subscribers who wish to remain customers of both companies will have to use different websites to each. Qwikster, which plans to offer video game rentals, also priced separately.

Mempunyai Niat Beramal Bagi Makhluk Hidup, Maka Andapun Mempunyai Berkah Besar!


Mempunyai Niat Beramal Bagi Makhluk Hidup, Maka Andapun Mempunyai Berkah Besar!

Oleh Maha Mula Acharya Liansheng
Diterjemahkan oleh Zhiwei Zhu


Sembahsujud kepada Biksu Liaoming, Acharya Sakya Dezhung, Gyalwa Karmapa ke-16, Acharya Thubten Dhargye. Sembahsujud kepada Tri Ratna di mandala. Gurudhara, para Acharya, Dharmacarya, biksu lhama, dharmaduta, pandita lokapalasraya, ketua vihara, dan para saudara sedharma, selamat sore semuanya!

Hari ini hadir lagi di Vihara Vajragarbha Fuyu (福佑雷藏寺), di daerah Xinzu Vihara Vajragarbha Fuyu relatif lebih besar, walaupun daerah ini tidak begitu besar, akan tetapi para Bodhisatva disini sangat besar, membuat kita semua merasakan sukacita setelah memandang-Nya, dan lagi Padmakumara yang di tengah itu sangat agung, Avalokitesvara Bodhisatva dan Ksitigarbha Bodhisatva, Ucchusma Vajra dan Ganesha, semuanya sangat agung. Aku percaya ada daerah yang lebih besar, dapat dibandingkan dengan beberapa Bodhisatva besar dan vihara besar ini.
Mengambil nama Vihara Vajragarbha Fuyu berarti vihara vajragarbha yang memiliki berkah besar, vihara vajragarbha yang dapat melindungi makhluk hidup, vihara vajragarbha dengan 'berkah besar' dan 'melindungi' makhluk hidup, ini adalah harapan para makhluk hidup, Aku percaya ada Vajra Maha Berkah disini, pasti sangat nyata dan kuasa. Pandita Dharmaduta Lianzhen sering berbicara tentang 'Dongfeng yang masih berhutang'! (hadirin tertawa) Tidak apa-apa! Kita undang saja 'Gongming' (seorang pakar strategi perang Tiongkok kuno) meminjami Dongfeng ini! Bodhisatva di sini sangat nyata dan kuasa.

Berbicara tentang kuasa, Aku ceritakan sebentar pada saudara sekalian...., bukan lelucon ya! Ini sebuah kisah nyata. Bukankah dahulu di Taiwan pernah trend 'nomor undian'? Apa sekarang masih ada? (murid: ada) Dulu 'kena nomor undian' harus ke kuil, memohon Dewa memberi petunjuk nomor undian yang akan keluar. Ada yang tidur di kuil semalam, diberitahu nomor sekian sekian lewat mimpi; ada yang menggunakan 'piring pasir', setelah puja lalu melihat angka yang muncul di dalam piring pasir; ada yang melempar batang ramal.

Ada satu orang datang ke sebuah kuil Dewa Bumi memohon nomor undian, setelah memohon nomor undian, pergilah ia bertaruh, sekali pasang sangat besar, semua uangnya yang ada dipasangkan, sampai-sampai uang hasil pinjaman juga dipasangkan. Akhirnya tidak kena! Karena uang pinjaman, orang-orang datang menagih hutang, kaburlah ia. Semakin dipikirkan semakin panas hatinya, kembalilah ia ke kuil kecil itu, diambilnya patung Dewa Bumi lalu dibuangnya ke dalam sumur. Sengsara sekali Dewa Bumi itu, segera saja sudah ada di dalam sumur. Orang itu melihat ke sekelilingnya, tidak ada orang, dengan api dibakarnya kuil itu, lalu pergilah ia.

Selang beberapa tahun kemudian, para penagih hutang itu mulai lebih tenang, pulanglah ia kembali ke tempat asal kuil Dewa Bumi itu, ternyata telah terbangun sebuah kuil Dewa Bumi yang sangat besar dan megah, menjadi 'Raja Berkah Besar', bukan Vajra Maha Berkah ya! Ia pergi bertanya pada penjaga kuil: 'Bagaimana bisa terbangun kuil yang begitu besar?' 'Anda tidak mengerti, Dewa Bumi kami disini sangat nyata dan kuasa!' 'Nyata dan kuasa bagaimana?' 'Beberapa tahun yang lalu kuil Dewa Bumi ini terbakar api, Dewa Bumi kami bisa keluar sendiri dari kuil dan masuk ke dalam sumur!' Wah! Kuil Dewa Bumi terbakar api, Dewa Bumi sendiri lari keluar, terjun ke dalam sumur, tidak terluka, sehingga orang dari delapan belas desa membangunkan 'Kuil Raja Berkah Besar' untuk-Nya.' Bukan 'Kuil Vajra Maha Berkah' ya! Semoga Aku juga bisa nyata dan kuasa seperti itu!

Akan tetapi perihal 'nyata dan kuasa' adalah sangat sulit dibahas, Vajra Maha Berkah kita disini, Avalokitesvara Bodhisatva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisatva, ada lagi Jambhala Merah, Ucchusma Vajra, setiap satu Yidam sangat nyata dan kuasa! Shizun sendiri tidak memohon apa-apa, orang seperti Aku ini belum pernah memohon sesuatu, membiarkan afinitas terjadi dan berubah, menyelamatkan makhluk hidup sesuai dengan afinitas, ada afinitas datanglah, tidak ada afinitas biarlah pergi. Namun Aku lihat Vihara Vajragarbha Fuyu, seharusnya akan ada 'Vihara Vajragarbha Vajra Maha Berkah', Pandita Dharmaduta Lianzhen kelak pasti akan menyelamatkan beberapa 'tuan emas'!

Saat ini emas kuning sangat mahal, pada saat harga emas seharga dua ratus enam puluhan dolar ini, pada saat penyepian-Ku di Taiwan, Aku katakan pada Acharya Lianji: 'Kita harus membeli emas kuning.' Lalu Aku sendiri mengeluarkan sedikit tabungan, Aku minta Lianji membelinya, Lianji diam-diam saja. Setiap hari membawa-Ku pergi makan swalayan seharga seratus dolar, sering pergi makan, nona kecil di situ pun berkata: 'Dua orang itu datang lagi!' (hadirin tertawa) Aku hanya duduk disitu, Lianji membantu-Ku mengambil nasi, mengambil kuah, orang-orang disitu mengira kami ini orang yang ada masalah! Mengapa begitu Shizun masuk selalu duduk disitu? Lianji sendiri sangat sibuk menghidangkan semua itu. Meskipun makanan yang sederhana ala kadarnya, tetapi kita makan dengan bahagia, saat itu seratus dolar lumayan besar, dan dibelanjakan makan berdua.
Aku katakan pada Lianji ingin membeli emas kuning, ia acuh tak acuh, sebenarnya ia bukan tidak punya uang, ia banyak uang, karena namanya adalah Dequan Xu (bunyinya seperti 'banyak uang'). Ia tidak bergeming, lalu Aku sungguh-sungguh telah menyiapkan uang, Aku akan pergi membeli emas kuning, Aku telepon tukang emas yang Aku kenal itu, papa-Ku juga kenal tukang emas itu, namanya 'Gedung Jingbao San'. Aku katakan ingin membeli emas kuning. Saat itu harga emas baru berkisar antara dua ratus enam puluh sampai tiga ratusan dolar.
Anak gadis bos 'Gedung Jingbao San' mengangkat telepon, ia berkata: 'Shengyen Lu ya, mana ada orang beli emas saat ini? Sekarang semua orang sedang membeli saham, tidak ada orang membeli emas!' Aku katakan: 'Aku adalah Vajra Maha Berkah, Maha Padmakumara Putih memberitahu-Ku saat ini harus membeli emas kuning, saat tidak ada orang mau membeli, baru boleh membeli.' Ia berkata: 'Tidak ada orang sedang beli emas kuning, semuanya beli saham!' Ia menolak Aku membeli emasnya.

Masih ada halangan lainnya, halangan ini tidak perlu dibahas, meminta-Ku jangan membeli. Bukan Dequan Xu ya! Kalian jangan salahfaham dengannya, ia acuh tak acuh, beli boleh tidak beli juga boleh. Maka Aku tidak jadi beli! Aku katakan Aku akan membentuk Sheng-Yen Lu Foundation di masa yang akan datang. Sheng-Yen Lu Foundation akan mempunyai uang yang lebih banyak untuk menolong makhluk hidup! Kalian juga harus membantu, jangan Aku sendiri yang mengeluarkan uang dan tenaga, kita semua harus membantu Sheng-Yen Lu Foundation, sehingga madzhab ini dapat berbuat banyak kegiatan amal.

Karena ada beberapa sebab, maka Aku tidak membeli. Sebenarnya saat itu sudah ada petunjuk, harga emas kuning pada saat itu adalah yang paling rendah! Sekarang berapa harganya? (murid: seribu dua ratusan dolar) Sudah berapa kali lipat? (murid: 5 kali) Lima kali lipat! Aku perhitungkan akan membeli emas dengan seluruh tabungan-Ku, sampai sekarang tidak sampai lima tahun kemudian sudah meningkat lima kali lipat!, lagipula sekarang harga emas hanya ada kenaikan tidak bisa turun, karena sekarang mata uang di dunia ini sangat tidak stabli, euro tidak stabil, dolar Amerika juga tidak stabil, banyak sekali mata uang tidak stabil, seandainya Aku membeli emas, sekarang Vihara Vajragarbha Fuyu bertambah besar lima kali! Lima kali lipat itu sudah sangat besar!

Jadi berkah Shizun itu bukan tidak ada, Aku telah tahu sebelum terjadi. Orang-orang berkata raja saham Amerika Warren Buffett sekarang membeli perak, sepertiga perak di dunia, semuanya dibeli oleh raja saham Warren Buffett, sepertiganya perak dunia, logam mulia, dibelinya, karena orang telah tahu terlebih dahulu! Mata uang akan mengalami devaluasi, emas dan perak mempunyai harga yang stabil, emas dan perak dapat mempertahankan nilai aset. Inilah berkah! Setiap hal yang Shizun lakukan, selalu tepat! Ini hanya salahsatu contoh yang sangat jarang. Setiap kali Shizun ingin membeli selalu tepat.

Ada sehampar tanah terlantar di Amerika. Tanah liar/terlantar itu bagaimana keadaannya? Disisi-sisinya tidak ada orang tinggal, rumput liar tumbuh, diatasnya ada SUTET; lahan yang tidak disukai orang Aku beli dengan harga yang sangat murah. Pada saat Aku beli, masih ada orang menghalangi-Ku: 'Jangan! Jangan dibeli! Itu lahan rusak, diatasnya ada SUTET, tidak akan ada orang yang mau mengembangkannya! Tanah itu tidak baik!' Wah! Banyak sekali yang dikatakan. Setelah lewat lima tahun, disampingnya dibukalah sebuah 'Safeway', sebuah supermarket, disekelilingnya banyak sekali toko-toko dibuka, menjadi jalanan bertoko. Tahukah anda harga lahan itu naik berapa? Dua puluh kali lipat! Ada orang berkata jangan diungkapkan. (hadirin tertawa) Setiap kali Shizun melihat selalu tepat, selalu kena, tidak pernah sekalipun yang rugi, setiap kali selalu untung!
Seluruhnya Aku masukkan dalam Sheng-Yen Lu Foundation, uang yang telah dimasukkan dalam sebuah yayasan di Amerika, tidak dapat ditarik kembali, hanya dapat dipakai untuk amal. Jadi berkah yang Shizun punya disumbangkan kepada makhluk hidup! Sehingga barulah Shizun ada cadangan berkah! Karena harus disumbangkan kepada makhluk hidup, harus disumbangkan bagi pemanfaatan amal. Sampai hari ini, selain biaya hidup pribadi, semua uang-Ku telah disumbangkan! Seluruhnya lho! Aku katakan padamu seluruhnya! Semuanya telah disumbangkan, jadi Shizun telah merelakan dan melepaskan segala-galanya; karena anda telah melepaskan segalanya, maka barulah anda mempunyai cadangan berkah yang terus mengalir masuk tiada habis-habisnya.

Sepanjang hidup Aku pernah sekali membeli saham, juga untung; adalah membeli pada saat harga paling rendah, dan menjual pada saat harga paling tinggi. Vajra Maha Berkah! Bukan yang palsu! Hari ini Vihara Vajragarbha Fuyu memiliki dua kata 'berkah dan perlindungan' ini, dan Yidamnya adalah Padmakumara Putih Vajra Maha Berkah, memiliki hati yang ingin beramal bagi makhluk hidup, maka punyalah anda berkah besar!
Uang Shizun dari hasil usaha dan persembahan umat seumur hidup, seluruhnya dimasukkan ke dalam Sheng-Yen Lu Foundation. Dulu ada seorang Dr. Yushou Zhou pernah berkata pada-Ku: 'Yang telah dimakan itu baru punyamu, yang dapat dipakai itu baru punyamu, yang lainnya hanya untuk anda lihat saja.' Aku masih ingat kata-kata ini. Di Amerika Shizun memboroskan uang, memboroskan uang apa? Uang minyak setiap kali isi bensin mobil, yang lainnya tidak pernah memboroskan uang. Di Taiwan memboroskaan uang apa? Ada kalanya! Kami bersama beberapa saudara sedharma makan di luar, dengan senang hati Aku ambil uang dan berkata: 'Makan kali ini Aku traktir!' Aku memboroskan uang ini, sedangkan yang lainnya tidak pernah memboroskan uang. Jadi semua uang yang dipersembahkan umat, ditambah dengan rumah-Ku, tanah, uang hasil usaha, seluruhnya dimasukkan dalam yayasan. Hanya dengan memiliki hati yang beramal, barulah berkah orang itu mengalir masuk tiada habis-habisnya.

Mungkin saudara sekalian mengira Shizun sangat menikmati berkah ya! Ada persembahan umat maka pastilah sangat menikmati berkah, tinggal di rumah yang paling mewah, mengendarai mobil yang paling mewah! Makan makanan paling mewah, mengenakan pakaian sutra lah! Makan, tinggal semuanya sangat menikmati berkah. Sebenarnya tidak demikian! Acharya Lianji tahu itu. Tempat Aku tidur itu apa? Dua tungku homa disatukan, sebesar itulah tempat Aku tidur, sekecil itulah kamar tidur-Ku. Ia tahu Aku sangat menderita! Belum pernah Aku mengendarai mobil selama tiga setengah tahun penyepian di Taiwan! Hanya membeli sebuah tikar jerami, tidur diatas tikar jerami itu. Tikar jerami itu pun sudah rusak setelah Aku pakai selama tiga setengah tahun! Berapa harga tikar jerami itu! Enam puluh dolar Taiwan! Enam puluh dolar dapat membeli sebuah tikar jerami, setelah dipakai tidur tiga setengah tahun maka rusaklah tikar jerami itu! Karena telah terkena terlalu banyak 'minyak'! Maka rusaklah tikar jerami itu! Kamar kecil lho! Sampai saat ini Aku masih seperti itu! Tidur diatas tikar jerami!

Aku tidak pernah menikmati apapun, orang mengundang Aku makan apa maka Aku makan apa. Aku juga tidak punya kekuasaan pribadi! Aku katakan setiap hari Aku ingin makan abalone, sirip hiu, apakah makan siang kita hari ini ada abalone, sirip hiu? (murid menjawab: tidak ada) Kalian tidak faham memberi persembahan! (Shizun tertawa besar, hadirin tertawa) Sebenarnya Aku juga tidak suka makan abalone, sirip hiu, sungguh! Cukuplah dengan sayur mayur biasa yang hangat! Orang yang mengerti berdana, secara alamiah ia memiliki berkah besar!

Hari ini, Aku melihat Yidam Jambhala Merah ini, sesosok yang sangat mempunyai berkah. Di sorga, Catur Maharaja menjelma menjadi Jambhala, Ia adalah sosok paling punya berkah di sorga, yang paling punya berkah di bumi adalah Dewa Bumi Prthivi dan Dewa Gunung; yang paling punya berkah di laut adalah Dewa Naga. Berkah Shizun berasal dari sorga, bumi dan laut! Berkah yang paling penting adalah kebajikan dikumpulkan di sorga! Berkah paling besar! Berkah yang berwujud dan berbentuk di dunia manusia, dalam pandangan mata Shizun tidak lebih dari wijen saja, berkah yang sebenarnya adalah jasa pahala, adalah mencapai Bodhi Budha! Adalah mencapai Jalan Pelepasan! Jadi para murid Satya Budha sebagian besar relatif miskin, akan tetapi secara spiritual kita paling kaya!

Aku tidak pernah iri dengan vihara orang lain yang sangat besar, tidak pernah iri! Seperti 'Empat Gunung' di Taiwan, pernah sekali Aku ke Hualien, melewati sebuah vihara yang sangat besar, Aku bertanya: 'Vihara ini punya siapa?' 'Punya Fo Guang Shan (Perkumpulan Sinar Budha)'. Duduk sebentar dalam mobil, wah! Ada lagi vihara yang sangat besar, 'Vihara ini punya siapa?' 'Punya Dharma Drum Mountain!' Lewat lagi di depan sebuah vihara yang sangat besar: 'Vihara ini punya siapa?' 'Punya Zhongtai!' Lewat lagi di depan sebuah vihara yang sangat besar, juga sebuah rumahsakit yang sangat besar, 'Vihara ini punya siapa?' 'Punya Budha Tzuchi!' Akhirnya tibalah di vihara cabang kita, 'Toko kecil ini punya siapa?'

Akan tetapi Aku tidak pernah iri dengan vihara-vihara besar itu, karena jika kita orang yang mengerti melatih diri, orang yang mengerti bhavana, langit dan bumi pun punya kita! Tidak hanya langit dan bumi, gunung sungai dan daratan luas, tidak hanya itu! Anda itu berkah tanpa batas, umur tanpa batas, cahaya tanpa batas, tidak hanya terbatas di dalam tempurung. Hati kita masih lebih luas daripada gunung sungai dan daratan luas, masih lebih luas daripada langit dan bumi; Hati kita ya! Bisa dikatakan bahwa seluruh alam semesta sepuluh penjuru, penuh semuanya oleh hati kita! Ini barulah berkah besar yang sebenarnya! Laksana butiran pasir sungai banyaknya!

Walaupun Vihara Satya Budha relatif lebih kecil, namun sebenarnya, asalkan mampu melatih diri sampai tubuh, ucapan dan pikiran menjadi murni, asalkan menyaksikan Budhatta, hatimu akan melampaui langit dan bumi, seluruh langit dan bumi dilampaui! Jadi jangan mengira gimana nih Madzhab Satya Budha? Kok tetap saja seperti itu. Sebenarnya, asalkan ada orang di antara kita yang menyaksikan Budhatta, asalkan ada orang yang mencapai Pencerahan, dibandingkan dengan vihara besar itu ia masih lebih besar lagi!

Melihat yang berwujud di depan mata, kita tampak sangat kecil, namun dilihat dari sudut pandang tak berwujud, di tengah alam semesta ini, benar-benar berdiri di bumi dan menjangkau langit! Jadi jangan meremehkan dan merendahkan diri sendiri, asalkan kalian berlatih sungguh-sungguh, beryukta dengan Yidam, siapapun kalah dibandingkan dengan anda! Asalkan tubuh, ucapan dan pikiran kalian murni, siapapun kalah oleh kalian! Asalkan kalian menyaksikan Budhatta, siapapun kalah oleh kalian! Inilah pahala kebajikan tak berwujud! Berkah tanpa wujud!
Di mata Shizun, vihara yang begitu besar, hanyalah sebutir pasir belaka! Dharma Tantra Satya Budha kita, adalah seluruh pasir di semua pantai berpasir! Seandainya Budha tinggal di dunia saat ini, Ia akan berkata: 'Laksana pasir di sungai Gangga!' Jadi disini, kita beri semangat kepada Dharmaduta Lianzhen, dan memberi semangat kepada semua saudara sedharma. Sebenarnya kalau Dharmaduta Lianzhen mempunyai afinitas menjadi biksu maka akan sangat baik! Kalau afinitas itu telah tiba, Shizun tidak akan memaksa, tidak memaksa. Jika afinitas itu telah tiba. Shizun juga memberi semangat kepada saudara sekalian, berlatih diri lah sungguh-sungguh, suci murnikan tubuh, ucapan dan pikiran, berkah besar, pahala juga besar! Om Mani Padme Hum!
