Tradition and Change Part II


I said I wanted to wait to answer my own questions in the last post, so, here's my two cents.  Get it?  Tradition and Change -- my two cents?  ...I hear crickets.  This is why I'm a monk and not an entertainer. Check the comments to the last post to see what I'm responding to. Thanks to everyon ...>

Bachmann Turner Overdrive

Ok, no, this is not about the Canadian rock group (BTO). Check out this video of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN): I am of the mind that such egregious McCarthyism is easily recognized by all minimally intelligent observers, but even if that was not the case, I believe that her words are easy enough ...>

A Call to Republicans

I don't know if WoodMoor Village has any Republican subscribers, but if I do (or for those that stop by), let me direct this note to you: Can you please start communicating to your party leaders, at all levels, that enough is enough? Tell them you just don't want a party that engages and support ...>

Religious Zombie?

The perfect "Get out of Jail" card, that is, the perfect trump card for this person and others that believe likewise: "The Lord will..." What comes to mind immediately upon reading this: 1) How does she know, or how would anybody know, which candidate has the deepest faith? Is there some kind of ...>

Intrade Electoral Vote Predictor

  • January 1, 1970

I don't put much stock on these projections, predictors, polls, or other fuzzy words that start with P that purport to provide us potential outcomes of the elections, promote particular understandings of voter behavior, present likely turnout, or propel us to worry, be less peaceful, and develop a p ...>

Korean Temple Video


Here's a link to some video of Guin-sa, the head temple of the Korean Cheontae (Tendai or Tien Tai) order which focuses on the Lotus Sutra and chanting the name of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Kwan Eum Bosal.  One of my friends from University of the West is a Cheontae monk.  I haven't been to ...>

Check McYogi's video on Obama. He even offers gassho at the end: And do visit McYogi's website. Quite intriguing. ...>

Oh, and Happy Birthday to Me!

  • January 1, 1970

Forgot to post about it, but today is my birthday. One of those, deeply reflective days? No, it hasn't been. I did have an eye doctor appointment and besides continuing to realize the inevitability of aging, nothing that I have not already pondered in previous birthdays. Then again, my experience ha ...>

Zena Forest Documentary Project

  • January 1, 1970

I was lucky enough to receive a mini-grant from the Center for Sustainable Communities at my University to carry out a photographic documentary project on a tract of land called Zena Forest. It is a small grant, it truly won't cover the expenses associated with the project, but the opportunity and ...>

Goofy Break

About the first "political-non-political" thing I saw this morning. It is cute and silly, until they get to the end and have McCain say something about Palin that I just find beyond rude. Still, watch how Obama and McCain... dance: Unbelievable McCain Vs. Obama Dance-Off - Watch more videos Perh ...>
