Buddha and His Way-completely out of a "bar" Continued from Previous Post.

Firstly, please be accepted my apologies for keeping my continuation for such a long period. This is the continued part of the previous one.

Number 1: Buddhism is one of religions, encouraging people to find truth and peace freely; freedom-loving nature.

Many people keep thinking of day-to-day routine's stress. Yes, those everyday problems are really practical issues that we could not simply step-aside. We need help, (at least we hope -if we could get some helps from whoever it is) along our life-term. When we couldn't get help from outside, we make our inner mind tired and exhausted from what it can't provide solution out of thin air.

I'm also unfair to myself, I thought. I seek my own existence while I'm depending other's approval. Comparison is unavoidable side-effect I got from that mission. Buddha's way to find oneself depends on oneself. He didn't suggest to rely on other. The person who lies other cannot lie his own mind, right? His way is to true on thyself and to know thyself, what is good and what is bad. Easy, do you think? You ain't that easy to do those, actually.

As far as I tried myself, I found an awkward situation: you can be alone while you're among your loving people. I thought many people would feel like me because I'm ordinary person like others. Buddha's way is not depend on who you want to be, just to know how you'll make yourself good. So, his teaching is for finding and making own way, not for hiding from present environment.

Thinking of a peaceful image in your bar? It's not peace at all, in that environment. Bar is for making yourself some fun out of simulation surrounding. Peace is not around you, it's an imaginary calm and emotional comfort you can get from quiet, warm, caring- BAR!

This is first improper representing Buddha Image as a logo of a Bar and inside it.

One laptop for every Niuean child

This was very interesting news for me, as I came from value-on-education family. For me, the childhood was as fun, playful, mischevous and friendly as all other child should have. Educational raising of my parents is exception because they allow me to build my dream by myself; they never give me stress like most of other friends' parents do. I didn't notice it at first. When I knew my friend's parents are scolding their sons/daughters of getting low rank or making mistakes in exams, I felt I'm odd one out of friends. My parents wanted me to know what I've done, what I've got, and what I really wanted. It was an amazing thing for a primary kid's environment.

In developing countries like our motherland, higher education is the way out of poverty for a low earning family. Many parents urges their children to learn as much as (sometimes more than) they could chew so that they could earn more money when they grow up. And for business-running family, they want to be proud of their children's achievements. And their business might penetrate and expand higher-ranked market if they got higher achievements along their educational path. (Many parents believe so.) That's why I want to spot out my parents' behavior on me.

I have grown old in small towns (more than 4 towns in 12 years), where the most updated knowledge resource is Radio and Newspaper. And States-run papers are not reliable on news. The only way to know about the world was listening a World Service Radio Broadcasting. I prefer reading books and listening radio programmes while most of my friends tried hard to get some playing periods among parents' tight learning schedule. When I want to play outdoor games, I had to be extremely patient, knowing my friends have found many more difficulties than me.

As an ordinary kid, I have learnt, noted and (one more point than other is) thought like other kids might do. After 10 years fading, I found myself in the place some distance away from what I've wanted to be. I'm not satisfy myself at all, thinking many "if"s and "then". If I get the chance to learn in developed environment, if I get the opportunity to keep in touch with modern technologies, and so on. Now, I'm in faster developing environment than my childhood days. What's the difference? I could pick up my learning in my career than I've hoped. I could pace up like others (sometimes faster than others) to understand some modern technological issues. I found myself bold enough to face those all as my first BBC World Service Radio Broadcasting Lesson.
Technological issues are useful for everyone, I know. But if you don't have that chance, should you be worry terribly? For me, whatever you've got can be a good foundation only if you keeping building on that. Environmental supports help you to get what you want in faster and easier way, the most important generator is yourself.


The news article mentioned below informed about technical supporting to basic education in a tiny Asia-Pacific country. The necessities are provided, but activities must be done by kids, themselves. Let's see what they get!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7576573.stm

The One Laptop Per Child programme has lived up to its name in the tiny South Pacific nation of Niue, where 100% of children now have one.
500 of the programme's XO laptops were distributed this week to primary and high school students.

The rugged, waterproof laptops have been designed as a cheap way to bring the internet to children in the developing world.

There are 4500 more laptops earmarked for the Pacific region as a whole.

It is not the first time that Niue has proven to be ahead of the technological curve; in 2003, it became the first territory to offer free wireless internet to all its inhabitants.
Besides instant wireless websurfing, the schoolchildren will also be able to communicate with each other within a radius of one kilometre without going online.
Secretariat of the Pacific Community director general Jimmie Rodgers was quoted by the AFP news wire as saying that the laptops "have the potential to revolutionise education in ways that are difficult to imagine."
Originally the brainchild of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Laboratory, the effort has grown to garner the support of large corporations, including Google.

Strongly opposed the mal-using the name of "Buddha" as the logo of a "Bar"

Please see that webpage and my argument on this bussiness; as shown on title of article.

http://www.buddha-bar.com/new/en/little_buddha.php

Dear all, this world is not belong to anyone, any religion or any coorperation. This is the first thing I want to make sure before continuing talk about my post. And, as far as I remember, all human being have rights to think, talk and discuss about their own opinion on anything-freely, as long as their own freedom don't disturb others. This is humans right.
I'm a Buddhist, and I'm still trying to follow the Lord Buddha's quotes, not totally successful. This post is very dangerous in topic, relating religion, business, and human rights. So, I'm finding difficulties in posting this article. I've tried to get others' opinion on that topic, but THIS ARTICLE IS MY OWN RESPONSIBILITY. Now, I'm going to discuss about my topic in following facts:
Number 1: Buddhism is one of religions, encouraging people to find truth and peace freely; freedom-loving nature.
Number 2: Buddha is not a God. Buddha is the person who had found enlightenment on his own way and shown that path who wants to find it.
Number 3: Buddha's teaching are not for hiding and solving one's fear, but for finding ways to live and face with it.
Number 4: For a Buddhist, Buddha statue means not only symbol of enlightenment, but also most admirable (Great Great) human being on earth for his showing way to find enlightenment.
Number 5: For a person who want to think and live freely and peacefully along his life, Buddhism is a philosophy of freedom.
Number 6: Buddhism is a religion of freedom and it doesn't mean any bussiness can make own benifits from Buddhism and its symbol of enlightenment.
Detail will be discussed sooner.

If you know the date of your life end...

"Hello friend, if I say one thing, please don't feel sorry: "We don't need anything, we need your strength." Yes, we need you, we need your emotional flame." These words are told to one of my old friend while she felt deep hurt about her critical situation. We (the friend and me) are not young and free to do what we've dreamt, if you ask me. But everyone can have particular dreams, right? Time and tide wait for no men, then if your life ends in no time, what will you do about your dream?
One Myanmar famous astrologer Mr. Min Thein Kha has died, but earlier than he'd calculated. People can know their date of end, but I don't think they might be sure of other's date. In my native town, Shwedaung, I've known about "Boe-daw", I've been there many times, asking many things. Yes, he told my mom will not live longer than that year, if she live passed that period, she would have very bad health status, that status would be going on for a long time. But it won't make my heart any good feeling, you see? I've prepared to face that tragedy, but it can't help to stop my sorrow. So, knowing the date of end, will it help in your dream-building process? No way. Please stand firm on your heart. I hope I won't make your head ache because I don't know much words in English to tell you clearer.

Actually, we need union.
Unity is the strength, we've talked that much.
But, we don't have united spirit, team spirit.
We need love and union to save Burma. We need both.
People talk much about our country.
And yet, we use our mind only in calculating the earning every day.
Yes, we need money, for our individual, for our family, for our relatives, for our survival.......... but should it be only thing to live with?
Sometimes, I'm ashamed, for myself, for my friends, for my country and my people. I accept the truth: we need attitudes revolution.
I admire Jews from Israel. They flew from all around the world, with all effort they've built up all along their lives, to build the new country "Israel".

Burmese still struggling after cyclone
By Nga Pham BBC News


It has been three months since Cyclone Nargis struck Burma, leaving 130,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands homeless.
On a covert trip to the Irrawaddy Delta region, I found many of the survivors still in need, and the regime still suspicious of foreigners.
Recently, the government started letting aid workers in, but foreign tourists and journalists are still not allowed to visit the affected areas.
I had been warned by my Burmese colleagues that it would be very difficult to move around Burma, and I had to be aware of the many layers of security designed to keep a close eye on visiting foreign nationals.
My plan was to fly to Rangoon, then to hire someone who would be willing to accompany me to the Irrawaddy region.
I would be posing as a Burmese woman to avoid unnecessary attention. It turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
I got a traditional Burmese dress, the longyi. I was also prepared to smear myself with the sunscreen powder you see most Burmese women wearing on their faces.
But finding someone who would go with me was tricky, partly because I had to be careful not to put anyone in danger.
Many people were punished by the regime after the cyclone for helping foreign journalists, or simply because they were spotted travelling with journalists.
Via some contacts, I found a guide who agreed to go with me, on the condition that if he saw any sign of danger at all, we would immediately make our way back.
Temporary huts
We left Rangoon early in the morning. We took the ferry cross the Yangon river, swollen, dark and muddy with monsoon rains.
Along the road down into the Irrawaddy region, houses had been repaired, trees had been cut and replanted, pagodas repainted. Paddy fields were covered in the green of the new crop.
However, it was still possible to tell where the cyclone hit, from the pockets of temporary huts scattered across the region.
Most of the huts I saw did not have proper roofs but were covered with plastic sheets provided by international agencies.
Some of the victims were sitting in the mud. As it is the rainy season, it rains almost daily and vast areas are still flooded.
My guide told me that local people have been warned by the authorities not to speak to foreigners and it took us a while to find someone who agreed to have a chat.
Mr Naing Win is a farmer whose family lost almost everything in the cyclone. I found him living with his wife and two children in a small hut.
"The cyclone struck at night, when we were sleeping," he said.
"I saw houses collapsing around my house. Then the rain started pouring down through the roof, which by that time was heavily damaged."
He had nowhere to go, he said, so he simply held a child in each of his arms and stood inside what was left of the house until dawn broke.
"Now we stay in this hut with nothing inside," said Mr Naing. "The children cough all the time because it is so damp.
"I would like to have somewhere better, more solid for my family to stay. But in order to build a proper house, we'd need at least 300,000 kyat ($300) and I don't think we'll ever have the money."

The government has closed refugee camps in an attempt to prove that everything has returned to normal.
The Paritta Monastery in Kyauktan, near Rangoon, used to host some 250 families. Now, according to head monk U Pyinya Wanttha, they are all gone.
"About a month ago, the government came here and demanded that all the refugees go back to where they were from and they are now living in the temporary shelters that they've built from bamboos and pieces of wood," he told me.
He said the biggest problem now was to provide the victims with proper shelters, as nobody has any money left. And of course they need food, he added, because it will be some time before the new harvest.
"Kind people have been donating instant noodles and dry foodstuffs which we transfer to the refugees," said U Pyinya Wanttha. "But it is clearly not enough."
Survivors have complained that aid from the government has been scarce.
International charities warn that lack of food could affect millions. Limited access to clean water and unhygienic living conditions are other concerns.
Thu Ya, a local businessman who runs a private relief campaign in the Irrawaddy Delta, said the victims urgently needed help - particularly those in remote areas.
It is monsoon season and they are at risk contracting dangerous illnesses such as malaria, diarrhoea and lung diseases.
Military checkpoints
The United Nations has urged the Burmese government to assure continued access to remote communities, particularly for international non-governmental organisation partners.
On the way into Irrawaddy region, I saw a number of premises emblazoned with agencies' names, such as Save the Children and Care, but did not see any foreign staff inside.
What I did see, in the space of three hours, were six or seven military checkpoints.
We had to beat a hasty retreat when my guide spotted a large military checkpoint ahead of us, where he said we would be stopped and searched.
A recent joint assessment by Asean, the UN and the Burmese government estimates that a further $1bn is needed for relief and reconstruction work in the country after Cyclone Nargis.
But international agencies like Save the Children are worried that since the spotlight seems to have turned away from Burma, it will be impossible to get sufficient funding.

New quake hits Chinese province


An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 has struck Sichuan province in China, the US Geological Survey says.

The quake struck just before 1800 (1000 GMT), 48km (30 miles) north-west of Guangyuan city, and occurred at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles), the agency said.
No injuries have been reported from the scene. In May, about 70,000 people died when an 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan province. Since then, thousands of aftershocks have rattled the region.
The epicentre of Tuesday's earthquake was some 1,253km (778 miles) south-west of the Chinese capital, Beijing, where the Olympic Games are due to begin on Friday.

The quake came a few hours after the Olympic torch was paraded through Sichuan's provincial capital, Chengdu, the last leg of its journey before it returns to Beijing for the opening ceremony.
The state media agency Xinhua said the tremors were felt in Chengdu.
Major reconstruction efforts have been under way in Sichuan province since the 12 May earthquake left about five million people homeless.
Well, come to think of it. Singapore The Straits Times newspaper had named Asia's Twin Tragedies
in its May 17, 2008 issue; China's Earth Quake vs. Myanmar Cyclone Nargis. I've shared it here:
Sincerely, I want to hear your opinion on this post. I've collected every news on this topic from Google's Alert. I'll go on posting the two tragedies and their consequences.

Life is Beautiful vs. Your Life will no longer be Beautiful

This information was sent to me via e-mail from one of my friend. And enough to get shocked, I've posted the power point presentation about "Life is beautiful", thinking values of Life. And sure enough, this power point presentation can be seen right in my blog, you don't need to download it (if you don't want a copy). I'm sure the presentation I've posted is not a virus and have some point to share.

Anyway, I'd like to suggest all reader to share the link of posted websites/ sharespace/ blogs, instead of sharing presentation file directly, which might cause misunderstanding and harm to each other.

The e-mailed message is as follows:

Please Be Extremely Careful especially if using internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning direct from both Microsoft and Norton.. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet.

You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation 'Life is beautiful.' If you receive it DO NOT OPEN THE FILE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES , and delete it immediately. If you open this file, a message will appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.' Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC and the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password.

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon.. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus software's are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner.'

PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY

The abstract about that animation is "man-make trouble". We tried to create and control technical developments. We find more and more applications for one invention every day. And it might have other side effects which we didn't notice at first. When we tried to control what we've done, we find many problems (at first, we made them ourselves!). We improved our communication system (from emotional expression on face to Internet communication nowadays), and yet hackers find their application using that communication! In this way, we start our endless war of two halves, i.e., every man has two halves to make out one trueself; outer vs. inner, self-oriented mood vs. caring-and-loving nature, and so on. When we could mix out successfully, we upgraded our self-control system. When one of our halves find out another way, another half starts its own discovery.......... So, have your say please, do you love your war between your two halves?

The Fantastic WOrld of Ilene Meyer (Painter)

At first, I think I can see something. Then, I see I didn't see anything. When I heard someone is whispering inside my heart, I'm almost closing that presentation. Finally, I don't know how to describe what I think I've got!
