Strangely Perfect

I woke up this morning ……and read two small passages, both written by Buddhists, one of which quotes one of “The Buddha’s” last works, the Lotus Sutra. What struck me, was that sometimes, this Buddhism that I do can get a bit confusing, and then suddenly – suddenly someone says something that brings everything right [...]

It’s Just Like Bladerunner, And Not Just the Weather! Tears in Rain Bladerunner, the movie, based on an old Philip K Dick science-fiction story, was made by Ridley Scott from North-East England, someone I’m distantly related to.  Made in 1982, it presents a very grey, wet, bleak future, heavily referencing Scott’s (and my own!) upbringing [...]

Similarly to the previous post, What is Health?, Daisaku Ikeda’s words last week encapsulated individual, respectful, freedom perfectly, and warns against the abuses of power that can so easily lead to doom and painful sufferings for people.  Eternal vigilance coupled to openness and discussion is the only way!

Bush warns over ‘protectionism’ is the news today.  This is at the Washington meeting of 20 countries, the G20, which represent 85% of the global [...]

Protest over Pakistan share slump, – says the BBC article this morning.  Apparently the people in Pakistan have had enough of falling share prices so have smashed up the Stock Exchange so that no-one can do deals any more! This is of course bang in line with the means of the original spread of Islam [...]

Another two recent legal cover-ups from the Bush administration proving them to be the corrupt liars we always suspected, and if devils exist, then it shows that they are the devils on this good Earth that we all try to live on.
