Hi Everyone, I hope that you have taken your breakfast/lunch/ dinner/supper today. The reason I am mentioning this is, there are a lot of people in Myanmar who will run out of food in 2 days (May/7/2008 today). More than 20000 dead. Imagine children without parents. Parents losing their sons and daughters..
If you think you have some money to spare, please help donate to the disaster relief fund of the Myanmar Cyclone disaster. As long as you have a credit card, they will be able to accept your donation (a few dollars is fine). If you do not have a credit card, please see if you can find anyone who has a credit card to do it for you.
Please start by asking yourself this question. "If you donate some money to help these people out, how much poorer will you become? If you REFUSE to donate, how much richer will you become?".
Kindly, start by watching some of the videos here: http://edition. cnn.com/SPECIALS /2007/news/ myanmar.crisis/ http://edition. cnn.com/2008/ WORLD/asiapcf/ 05/06/myanmar. videos/index. html (more videos)

Observing the cosmos and all the living beings consciously, among all the earthly activities and phenomena, we will find the existence of the laws of nature. There is an supernatural origin which guides all the operations happening across the galaxy, the earth, and the human beings. We call this source "Tao".
Tao existed before primordial time, and even before the universe was merged. It is the origin of the world and it thereafter nurtures all the creatures and beings. Since it is unchangeable and does not evolve with time, it is the ultimate truth. It is what all saints and sages throughout human history have been searching for............................
[FOREWORD] A person's life always includes bitterness as well as happiness. These two intermingle and manifest their presence throughout one's life. Now let's discuss just how bitter and happy a person's life can be.
1.Bitterness A. Life's Most Bitter and Painful Encounters: The greatest sadness in a person's life is to have a spiteful wife and unfilial son. The most heinous thing is to have someone repay one's kindness with injury. The greatest misery is to be in an extremely distressed state. The most disheartening thing is for one's friends and family to abandon him. The greatest frustration is to have success snatched from one's easy grasp. The greatest regret is to let one's word or actions stray into wrong. The most exhausting thing is to be under tremendous mental pressure.
