Prayers for Disaster Victims


I've been watching some of the news coming out of China about the earthquake, as well as from Burma/Myanmar about the cyclone.  It's mind-boggling--the extent of the devastation.  The death toll has reached 78,000 in the cyclone tragedy.  As for the earthquake, the death toll is now ...>

I’ve been Bikkhu-ed


A lot has happened in the past week.  First of all, I finally graduated. I now have a master's degree in Religious Studies with a concentration in Buddhism.  My thesis was approved (now I have to print two copies and submit them to the library) and have finished all my other papers...almo ...>

Cool Dharma Videos


I found a couple of interesting videos through Google last night.  The first one is of nuns doing the evening chants.  It's about 19 minutes long.  I also put it directly in my blog.  The other one is a photo montage set to music of a Buddhist funeral.  It's all quite inter ...>

Wow. Watch this clip in its entirety.
