Sathya Sai Baba Organization?s Betrayal of Love and Compassion
2009-03-20 06:59:00 Many Sathya Sai Baba devotees have betrayed their memories and allowed to be constantly set upon, vilified, demeaned, defamed and libeled those whom they had so long loved, honored and worked side-by-side with. Factors which prevent a wider former devotee visibility on the Internet or in the law courts are briefly dealt with in this article. The case of the principled resignation of the first head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Australia, Terry Gallagher of Kyama, New South Wales, is cited, with some excerpts from, and a link to, his testimony against Sathya Sai Baba.

She may well be dying, but so are many other people, ...
Compassion, Health and Justice
2009-01-19 12:42:00 Maori traditional healers are being funded by the Ministry of Health at a cost of nearly $2 million a year.see http://www.stuff.co.nz/thepress-/4821162a6009.htmlThey are the only alternative-treatment providers directly receiving public health dollars.Rongoa is a traditional Maori system of healing that includes rakau rongoa (native herbal remedies), mirimiri (massage) and karakia (prayer), as well as spiritual support.Image via Wikipedia"The mere fact that people use rongoa and go back to the practitioners is testament that the services they are given are contributing to their wellbeing."Healers were required to report to the ministry quarterly and submit an annual report, but the practitioners and their health outcomes were not reviewed. "It's not unusual to fund on outputs. It's extraordinarily difficult to report on outcomes," Wall said.Rakau rongoa herbal remedies were not covered by the Medicines Act and the ministry did not require them to be tested as part of its funding po...

Compassion International
2008-09-08 10:00:00 Compassion International is an organization that works around the world to fight poverty, you may have heard of it last year when they organized a group of media people and bloggers to go to Uganda and write about the relief efforts they saw, one of whom was Shannon Lowe from Rocks in My Dryer who gave us wonderful stories of her time in Africa.Well they're doing it again and I wanted to mention that you can look forward to more stories as Compassion International takes another group of writers to the Dominican Republic November 2-7, 2008 to record what's happening there. I was asked to attend but through scheduling conflicts I had to decline so the least I can do is to put you wise as to what you can expect from the other bloggers attending. Who knows, maybe I can get lucky next year and get another invitation to join them then?The Pioneer Woman, 5 Minutes for Mom, Owlhaven and Big Mama are a few of the quality blogs that will be represented this time around which I'd encourage...

Face of compassion that inspires billions
2008-05-31 12:24:00 Face of compassion that inspires billions By Upali Salgadohttp://www.sundaytimes.l-k The central figure in the story of Buddhism is Sakyamuni Gotama Buddha (also known as Gauthama Buddha). Gotama Buddha was born 2,552 years ago at Lumbini, in Nepal. He belonged to the Sakya clan, and Gotama was the family name. He was a prince, having at birth 32 unusual signs on his body, which, according to the royal court seers, indicated he would be either a Chakravarthi (Universal Monarch) or a religious leader. The Buddha?s noble philosophy, or dharma, is followed by more than three billion people across Asia. The Buddha was an extraordinary man, a ?Maha Purisha?. As a human being, he had no connections with the creator God or any other supernatural being. An extraordinary man (?Accariya Manussa?), he was beyond the human state inwardly, though living an admira...

As Buddhists around the world celebrate Vesak Full Moon poya day commemorating the birth, Enlightenment and Parinirvana of the Buddha tomorrow, the Sunday Observer had a Dhamma discussion with the President of the Amarapura Maha Sangha Sabha , Agga Maha Panditha Most Venerable Kotugoda Dhammavasa Thera to enlighten our readers on the teachings of the Buddha..

2008-05-27 04:02:00 It seems that my assertion from the article Philosophy as Practice raised some eyebrows. …without the ability to analyze and use critical thinking, even the compassion spoken of in Buddhism cannot be fully developed. Therefore the wisdom lineage, as in ?method and wisdom?, pervades the method lineage. I was surprised by the doubt raised by this statement, ...
Interpret tough experience as an exercise in compassion
2008-05-27 03:14:00 You may already be thinking, "that's all well and good, but to find the positive isn't always a piece of cake." Do you really listen to yourself? When will you focus on who you are?Its common to encounter people who seem negative, undiplomatic, critical or even downright nasty. Your impulse may be anger and a desire to retaliate, to show them some of their own medicine. Other options exist. What about showing some compassion?How easy it seems to forget reasons explain why people are as they are. Once a thief, always a thief? Not necessarily. Recall the story of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo? As a child, he stole bread to eat and was sent to prison. When he got out, people wouldn't hire him as he had a record. So, he stole again. It was all he knew to survive. When a clergyman forgave him and generously gave him the silver he had stolen, this man encouraged ...

Christmas, Birthdays and any other gift-giving appropriate holiday would find him asking for more 'army men' in which he would built huge war scenes

2008-05-02 16:34:00 Why is compassion more easily expressed by those who think they can do something to help? Take that away and you will find faces sour. So is our charity truly altruistic, or just for the purpose of fanning our egos?

Compassion Forum A Stark Opposite To Republican Debates
2008-04-14 22:27:00 Last night, Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama participated in a Compassion Forum on CNN, which wasn't so much a presidential debate as it was a separate interview with each candidate, filled with slow, carefully-chosen, politically-correct phrases and many references to God, faith, love, grace, and mysteries. Essentially, both candidates said the same types of things. They don't know if God wants either of them to be President of the United States. They are people of great faith. They respect other's faiths.The calm setting was a far cry from the nail-biting, selectively-enforced response times allotted to the Republican presidential candidates in their debates. The last GOP debate - excluding the February 2nd New York MySpace forum in which only two of the Republicans (Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee) participated - was on January 30th, 2008 in Simi Valley, California, hosted by CNN at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

Where Is The Sense Of Compassion
2008-04-03 15:03:00 CLICK IMAGE BELOW TO VOTE FAUZI I started an open discussion about "Animal Rights" a few days ago to get all my blog catalog users (majority based in America) to post their personal views, their points and also to share their thoughts about wearing fur. And I was quite happy to see many of them took their time to post their comments. Yes, there was a debate over this issue. Take a look [LINK]I was quite amazed that some said, it's OKAY to wear fur. This is why I don't understand. Like wisdom, compassion is uniquely human quality. So where is the sense of compassion? Where is the love for animals ya'll? I really hope that anyhoo out there who couldn't care less with Animal Rights, I'd suggest you bastards to tune in to Discovery Channel or even Animal Planet right after this okay.

Civic Responsibility, Compassion, Walking the Talk
2008-04-01 18:10:00 I’m one of those who other’s call social or liberal, in being a businesswoman, often they are saying this about me in a negative way. Yet I believe at the core that we, as humans, Americans, inhabitants of cities, counties, living in neighborhoods, have a civic responsibility to each other and our community. I live in a small area of town but I’m a part of the larger city, my company is in a small part of the city but I service customers all over the globe, everyone is treated the same. We’ve all heard the saying “Think Globally and Act Locally”, it has great merit, think of the whole but act in your zone of influence. A quote I recently saw from His Holiness the Dalai Lama really brought this home and rang so true: “Adopting an attitude of universal responsibility is essentially a personal matter. The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.” -His Holiness the Dal...

2008-02-29 14:29:00 Mat 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.Good morning friends, we had another awesome night in Missions Revival as we were blessed by the sweet spirit that has continued to be with us so far! We were able to hear from Bro. Alexander Spear about the burden that the Lord has placed on his heart to reach the people on the island of Puerto Rico! Again the preaching was great as we were able to hear from Bro. Carl Stanly going to Tanzania. It seems the Lord has impressed upon his heart to continue with the theme of compassion, and if you look at what was preached last night then you would see it fits right in with the overall theme of our Missions Revival "God Giveth The Increase"! You see it was compassion that lead the Lord to look upon the crowd and it was the same compassion no doubt that the ...
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them
2008-02-28 14:44:00 Mat 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.Well good morning again my friends. Last night started off our missions revival and how great it was! We were able to see a good crowd in attendance and I am personally praying for that same bunch to make it again tonight plus more! We have had two missionaries arrive safely last evening and they were able to settle in before the services. What a joy it is to have them with us and prepared to share with us the burden that God has placed on their hearts. We started off the services with some excellent singing and then a special that was sang by some young ladies in the church. Our first missionary to present his burden was from Bessemer, Alabama and the Lord dealt with him to go to the country of Tanzania. It is a relatively poor country compared to most of the world, and the missionary has already been in country serving for a ye...
North Korea's Doing Just Fine

Compassion, Real or Fake?
2008-02-25 11:30:00 I've came across a observation that I have finally seemed to put my finger on and it deals with compassion towards our patients and with all health care workers that I have dealt with.First off how about a definition which I took off of Wikipedia:Compassion is an understanding of the emotional state of another or oneself. Not to be confused with empathy, compassion is often combined with a desire to alleviate or reduce the suffering of another or to show special kindness to those who suffer. However, compassion may lead an individual to feel empathy with another person.Now that that is out of the way I will continue.As health care workers we need to be able to show compassion and empathy towards people who are not feeling well or even dying. This is something we are told in school that we need to use is compassion towards our patients.Understand that not everyone in health care is able to show compassion and those are the one try entirely to hard to fake showing compassion. This is...
Various Artists: Keep Singing - A Benefit Compilation for Compassion Over K
2008-02-17 15:55:00 Various Artists: Keep Singing - A Benefit Compilation for Compassion Over KillingFinally a non-PETA benefiting animal rights comp. The album benefits the animal rights group, Compassion Over Killing. The comp features such big name artists as Strike Anywhere and Ampere.The album does a good job of showing where veganism stands in modern music. The compilation for the most part features only hardcore bands and singer songwriters and that is exactly who I think of when I think of vegans.The album starts off truly horribly with the ham-handed political anthem "Too Cool to Cry" by Gina Young. The first few seconds of lyrics made me not too cool to cry for the death of subtlety in political music.Strike Anywhere turn in their usually sociopolitical melodic hardcore outing. The song is good and will live up to any expectation their fans might have.Noisy hardcore bands like Life At These Speeds, Attrition, and In First Person rule the first part of the compilation while wussy soft roc...
