Common, The Roots, Heavy D, and Jeremih LIVE at the Shrine
2009-09-14 03:57:00 The Hennessy Artistry tour came through to The Shrine in Chicago last night for a very memorable and lively performance! Common and the Roots headlined the show with amazing collaborative artistry that produced a powerful soul sound keeping the Shrine crowd dancing throughout! I was really impressed with the eclectic lineup, which included Zoe Kravitz, Colin Munroe, Jeremih, Heavy D, Common, and The Roots! The unique combination of powerful veterans, and talented new blood provided a really fresh overall performance. Even the structure of the show was really successful as The Roots and Common would play multiple times throughout and in between the other artists' sets in order to keep it fresh and always lively. The show was also...
Graffitti Creator is a Shrine to the Artform
2009-05-06 17:45:00 Graffiti, as an art form, has evolved very quickly to involve everything from depictions of urban surroundings to territorial tags of gangs. Many may think of it as the defacing of public property, however Graffiti Creator sees it differently.
Shrine of the Serene Light
2009-04-26 17:05:00 Phuket Town is full of history, full of interest. I keep stumbling upon new places... I wish there was more time to explore and less time in the office! On Friday I headed into the old town before work, in search of a Chinese shrine called the Shrine of the Serene Light or Ting Kwan Tang. There's not a huge amount of information about this shrine online, and if you are walking around old Phuket Town, as I have done many times, you'll probably miss it. The shrine is on Phang Nga road, just a hundred meters west of the On On Hotel... but it's well hidden. There is an entry off the road leading to a narrow alleyway. The shrine is not yet visible. If you were passing, you'd see the entrance, but the alley does not look like it leads to anything exciting... I read about the shrine on the "Phuket Town Treasure Map" which you can pick up at various locations around the old town. The main office that produces this map is on Soi Romanee. I was happy to know that there are always som...

North Carolina: Jihadist Sympathizer Happy Jihadist Bombed Sufi Shrine In P
2009-03-07 01:52:00 Thanks to Jihad Watch:Rusty over at the Jawa Report has kindly sent me notice of North Carolina jihadist Samir Khan's reaction to this story:"Militants bomb ancient shrine in Pakistan," from AP, March 5: PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A bomb exploded Thursday at the mausoleum of a 17th century Sufi poet in northwestern Pakistan, underscoring the gulf between hard-line Muslims and those in the region who follow a traditional, mystical brand of Islam. A letter delivered three days before the attack to the management of the mausoleum of Sufi poet Rehman Baba on the outskirts of Peshawar warned against its promotion of "shrine culture," said Sahibzada Mohammad Anees, a top government official in the city. The letter also noted that women were coming to pray at the shrine, he said....(It's hard to tell whether or not this is an account of the same incident.)Anyway, here is Samir Khan's reaction: AllahuAkbar, this is great news. The Mujahideen are cleaning up the Shirk in Pakistan. ...
Jui Tui Shrine (Phuket Town)
2008-10-05 15:40:00 Yesterday afternoon I took a walk around the streets near Jui Tui Shrine, one of the largest Chinese shrines in Phuket Town. It's just along Ranong Road road from the old market (which has now been demolished and a new building looks like it will be complete sometime soon - great! No more smelly old market!) - easy to find, and certainly worth a look if you are in Phuket Town. Ranong road near the market is busy enough at the best of times. The local buses leave from and arrive at Ranong road. From here you can get a bus to most parts of Phuket island.During the vegetarian festival, much of the road is packed with food stalls and little restaurants selling Jae (vegetarian) food. I parked a couple of blocks away and wandered along Ranong road. Half close your eyes and ignore the mopeds squeezing through the people, and the road has a very old feel...And if you look the other way ... a traffic jam. I mean, these people must know what's going on down here. There are plenty of other r...

Kathu Shrine
2008-10-04 16:31:00 Well Friday night was a bit disappointing! I guess I should have checked local sources (like the schedule posted on the wall of the shrine), but instead believed the festival schedule on the "official" vegetarian website that I copied on this blog.. but there was no bladed ladder climbing or oil bathing at Kathu shrine on Friday night. And there were lots of other similarly confused people there too! I met a big group of tourists who'd come over the hill from Patong. Well, hope you at least enjoyed the local atmosphere. I like Kathu village. I just posted about a walk in Kathu village, now a few more pictures of the shrine.Compared to the big shrines in Phuket Town like Jui Tui and Bang Neow, Kathu is much quieter, yet it's an impressive building for such a small local community. You have to remember that Kathu was where the festival originated, and it seems the whole village takes part. Hardly anyone around not wearing white, young and old. Kathu village and shrine is worth a vis...

2008-04-14 02:05:00 ?????????????Opened in 2007, this new 9,000 square meter museum, located next to the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine, is well worth a visit.With the explosion of archeological work done in Japan in the last 50 years, our understanding of ancient Japan has grown tremendously, and the scale and importance of the ancient civilization centered on the Izumo area has begun to be understood. The museum showcases some of the major finds in the Izumo area of recent years.There are galleries for temporary exhibitions, an exhibition including animated movies suitable for kids on Izumo's ancient myths, a gallery on daily life in Izumo from ancient times to the present that includes materials relating to Lafcadio Hearn, well-landscaped grounds that include replicas of Haniwa, but the heart of the museum is the permanent collection divided into several sections.There is a section on the grand shrine of Izumo taisha.

2008-03-12 20:39:00 Britney Spears is keeping quiet thanks to straight daddy?s rules, but some secrets are just too heavy for the pop star. Reportedly Britney can get over her long time sweetheart Justin Timberlake, who seems to have gotten over her completely.Justin made some unnecessary jokes while inducting Madonna into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: ?The world has always been full of Madonna wannabes and I might have even dated a couple.She has still found time to kiss someone I may or may not have publicly kissed myself while I was in the audience. Of course you know I was talking about Sean Penn.?Father Jamie Spears says Britney is no longer allowed to hit the night clubs in L.A., hang out with her paparazzi pals or make frequent, erratic stops at gas stations, fast-food joints and public bathrooms.This might hurt Brit, who says "I'm so bored.

2008-03-01 08:11:00 "You must place your faith in the one indestructible, imperishable God. To do this, you must stop depending on the kings, forces, and armies within you. When you give up all this and stand defenseless and alone, saying, O God, it is all Your will! The sheikh (spiritual guide) will stand by your side. It is only when you surrender to God that the sheikh, who is the explaining wisdom of the Qutbiyyat (Divine Gnosis, Primordial Buddha nature) which guides you on the path of God, will come to stand by your side.

Fukutoku Inari Jinja
2008-02-16 02:06:00 ??????Sitting on the hillside on the western edge of Honshu, Fukutoku Inari, also known as Inunaki no Oinari, commands fine views over the ocean in the direction of China (where Inari most probably originated).We were fortunate to be there not long after dawn as the sun rose above the mountain behind the shrine and treated us to a fiery display.Built in 1971, the buildings are in virtually pristine condition, with the obligatory vermillion dominating. Like most Inari shrines there is a "tunnel" of?vermillion Torii, though unusually this tunnel does not lead to the shrine, rather from the shrine to a bluff overlooking the sea.The shrine is located just off Route 191 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a little north of Shimonoseki, in the village of Toyoura.Yahoo Japan Auction ServiceBook a hotel in Japan with BookingsTokyo Serviced ApartmentsBudget accommodation in JapanHappi CoatsJapanese For Busy PeopleTagsJapan Shimonoseki Yamaguchi Shrine torii
Matsuo Shrine
2008-02-05 23:00:00 ????Matsuo Taisha, sometimes known as Matsunoo, is an interesting ancient shrine on the outskirts of Kyoto that offers a little more to see and do than most of the often visited shrines in the area. It is also less crowded.Located near Arashiyama, it was founded in 701, almost 100 years before the founding of Kyoto. It was founded by the head of the Hata clan, an immigrant clan that ruled the area before the moving of the capital from Nara. The Hata also founded the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine.The Hata were instrumental in bringing Sake brewing techniques from Korea, and the shrine has a deep and long association with sake brewers, who still take water from the sacred well Kame no I, located in the shrine.The shrine grounds are home to 3,000 rose bushes which are in bloom during April and May.About 30 years ago, the famous landscape designer and painter, Mirei Shigemori, built (at great expense) three gardens at the shrine, the Iwakura Garden, in ancient style, the Horai Garden, in ...

Butuan Regional Museum and Balangay Shrine
2008-01-16 14:41:00 It is a common knowledge of Filipinos that the barangay, the smallest unit of government in the Philippines was named after the balangay (or balanghai), the ancient boat their forefathers used to travel across the seas and got in touch with other Asian civilizations.It's the thrill of actually seeing the sites where the ancient balangay specimens were excavated, rather than being a part of the exhibit of archeology at the National Museum in Manila.

What does tiger shrine say about mourners?
2008-01-04 02:46:00 This, along with ladies who sterilize themselves to save the earth and Spanish authorities who wish to give apes human rights follow logically from the atheist assumption that man is merely a smarter animal. Without a distinguisher like a soul from an authority like God, people will grieve for and give rights to any creature or thing that tugs on their heart strings- reason and logic are useless in this context. Since they felt more sad for the Tatiana, making a shrine for the dead tiger instead of the dead people is a no-brainer (truly). I wonder what percentage of those participating in the tiger memorial go to church. (from here) => Read more!

New Year's Day in Meiji Jingu Shrine
2008-01-02 12:08:00 ???????Tokyo's Meiji Jingu Shrine was a hub of New Year's Day religious activity. Located in sprawling, wooded 170-acre grounds, the Shrine is accessed via grand avenues of trees that form a complete canopy over the paths.Dappled sunlight from a brilliant, crisp blue winter sky played over the thousands who thronged the ways to the shrine. The Shrine is accessible from three directions, the main one being the south gate (see above).The courtyard of the Shrine, while crowded, was not quite as much of a hubbub as the experience of just getting inside suggested. The crowd was concentrated in front of the Shrine, watched over by very conspicuous security as hundreds of coins were flung moment by moment into the big wooden receptacles and hands were clasped in prayer for a year of health and good fortune.Outside the Shrine, there were stalls selling amulets, most of them featuring the rat, which is the Chinese zodiac animal for this year. There was also, of course, the omikuji, or sacr...
Akama Shrine Shimonoseki
2007-12-28 08:42:00 ????Akama Shrine is the foremost shrine in the Shimonoseki area and enshrines the Emperor Antoku, the 8-year-old Emperor who drowned at the Battle of Dannoura on March 21st, 1185.This famous naval battle was decisive in concluding the Genpei War with the Minamoto (Genji) clan led by Yoshitsune, defeating the Heike (Taira) clan. The battle was fought in the straits directly in front of where the shrine is now.Until the early days of the Meiji Era (1868) and the almost complete make-over of the Japanese religious landscape, Akama Shrine was in fact a Buddhist Temple called Amida-ji, and the architecture reflects this. Most impressive is the entrance gate Suitenmon (Water Heaven Gate). The front area of the inner shrine (honden) is also unusual in that it is a shallow pool.The shrine looks and feels almost new because it is! The shrine was rebuilt only 50 years ago.Another legend associated with Akama is that of Hoichi the Earless, a ghostly tale known by many through its inclusion in...
