'Tis the season to spend money we don't have on things we don't need.

The twelve days of debt are upon us and the annual festival of fights has begun. Apparently pepper spray will be this year's most popular gift. Peace on earth, good will toward men, only $19.95 if you call right now (plus shipping and handling). It's an excellent time, especially as you circle endlessly around a…

BETHANY BEYOND THE JORDAN, Jordan (Reuters) – Only five years ago, critical remarks by Pope Benedict about Islam sparked off violent protests in several Muslim countries.

Never very good, relations between the world’s two largest religions sank to new lows in modern times.

This week, while protesters in the Arab world were demanding democracy and civil rights, Catholics and Muslims met along the Jordan River…

I am changing the Bhutanese pilgrimage to Summer 2014 which is the Horse year: excellent for all kinds of pilgrimage

I was on a chartered bus with about 40 other people—Christians, Jews, Muslims, Unitarian Universalists, one Buddhist, and one Wiccan priest. We were united in being people of faith, in being mostly white and middle class, and in touring part of Newark, New Jersey as part of the Environmental Justice retreat of GreenFaith’s Fellowship Program.

I already knew that low-income communities and communities of color are…

There are two main types of bombs which release energy from the nuclei of atoms.

The simplest kind is an atomic bomb. Like a nuclear power plant, it releases great quantities of energy through a process called nuclear fission, or 'splitting', of a large unstable (radioactive) element like uranium or plutonium.

A more complicated type is the hydrogen bomb, or thermonuclear bomb, which releases an even greater quantity of energy through nuclear fusion, a process which has not yet…

It is conference world. Discussion in the high level with result or without result requires huge arrangements and investments. Now, we lives in the web world – able to minimize everything – if so why can not think of web conference along with that or as an alternative.

Is it not possible in this field such type of conference?   Even today most of the people living away from this world may be the drawback.

It is my desire and hope conference type of…

The 1993 Parliament was a watershed event in interfaith history, following in the footsteps of the first Parliament in 1893. Both events forged new ground and introduced new interfaith possibilities. In addition to making history, the 1993 Parliament transformed my life.

“Niscintya yoga ucyate”- The thought-free state is yoga.

When does the mind attain freedom from thoughts? When Prana ceases, in other words on the cessation of Prana-dynamism when confluence with the still Prana is effected, this state is designated to be yoga. In this state—mind, thoughts etc. are all absent.

Robin Hood is an archetypal hero; “steal from the rich and

give to the poor”, in today’s age it has become steal from the poor and keep

it. George Washington is one as well, “I can't tell a lie” was his answer when he cut down the cheery tree;

today officials seem to think lying is just part of what you have to do. “Do

unto others as you would have them do unto you” has become do unto others

before they do unto you. I went to a recent Occupy Wall street meeting…

Death may be internal and external. One who dies before his actual death is internal death –One who dies before internal death is external death.

Internal death -Good number of Jains religion peoples prefer this kind off death called salvation.  Jainism explains it in detail, it is not suicide –act of matured mind - no state acts against this theory – positive act of people in the positive manner may be the reason behind it.

External death – Death…
