This day in age, people are turning to religion in droves. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism has embedded it’s ideology in the hearts and minds of millions globally. While all these religions deserve respect and tolerance, few in the west have a grasp on the complicated concept of Buddhism.
The end all and be all of online encyclopedias, Wikipedia grabs the first slot on a Google search for the term Buddhism and the breakdown reads like this: “Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pali/Sanskrit “the awakened one”). The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.
He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering, achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhism is traditionally conceived as a path of liberation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada (“The School of the Elders”) and Mahayana (“The Great Vehicle”). Theravada, the oldest surviving branch, has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications, a third branch, Vajrayana, is recognized, although many see this as an offshoot of the Mahayana. While Buddhism remains most popular within Asia, both branches are now found throughout the world.
Various sources put the number of Buddhists in the world at between 230 million and 500 million.” After living abroad in Asia for several years I have found that Buddhist cultures are more tolerant because the focus is on the ’self’ and the meditation on the calming of the mind, concentrating on controlled breathing and the idea that meditation to bring one closer to peace is central to discovering one’s self.
If you have the opportunity to investigate the practice of Buddhism, I would highly recommend it. I’m not saying to take up the path and convert to a religion but the calming affect that is central to this religions concept will bring a peaceful serenity to your life that you may find useful. All in all respect and tolerance for all religious perspectives is something that people are beginning to make a conscious effort to practice and understanding ideas from various religions can teach us an appreciation that can bring us all closer together.

18 Jan 10 So, You Know How To Love A Man Do You?
Loneliness, loneliness, loneliness. It’s a plague in this world of ours. With billions of people on this planet it’s amazing how many people are lonely. Even for those people who live with others, loneliness is still a major concern. We find that women are often looking for information regarding:
a) How to make a man fall in love with me
b) How to make a man love you and you alone
c) How to love a man and all that he does
d) How to love a guy
e) How to make a man love you forever and ever
Men are different “animals”. Most women realize this, right? How many women have tossed and turned late at night trying to figure men out, and how to show them that they truly care? Are gifts the best and only what that you can show that special guy that you truly do love them? In this article we will be going into this subject matter in great length. We will be exploring the various ways in which you can show him that you truly love him.
Food…
We have heard that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This is true for many men. Now we won’t go as far as to say that food is the way to make a man fall in love with you, but every man appreciates not only good food, but the thought that goes into the preparation of that special meal.
1) To get the ball rolling we will start with the first meal of the day, which is breakfast. How about making some heart-shaped pancakes? If he’s not into pancakes you could do the same thing with toast. You could go one step further and even trim the butter that will accompany the meal into a heart shape. Heart-shaped butter on heart-shaped pancakes or toast. Yum.
2) Lunch is the next meal of the day. A lot of guys take their lunch from home, and this provides you with a great opportunity to show that you love him. Why not make him his special meal for lunch, and top it off with a note saying “I love you”? Will he ever be surprised…especially when he is looking to unpack that same ole sandwich and such…
3) The evening dinner is the main meal of the day for most people. It’s a time when you can sit back and relax the most during the day. How about a candlelight dinner with some scented candles? Why not play his favorite soothing and romantic music in the background. Be sure that you make his favorite meal to compliment the evening.
4) While snacks can be eaten throughout the day, a romantic snack is very memorable indeed. Did you have a special treat when you started your dating life? How about a delicious ice cream cone and that walk along the lake? Nobody says that you can’t recreate this experience again by “retracing your steps”.
Signs of Affection
Everyone needs to know that people care about them. Men are included in this group ladies! Even those “strong and silent type” guys can get a tear in the eye when they watch a very sad or touching movie. Looking for a way to show that special guy that you love him? Why not try:
1) A hug is a powerful thing, and it says so much. When he least expects it, come up from behind and give him a big bear hug. Why not whisper into his ear “I love you”. Don’t do this all the time so that it gets “old”. Keep is special and random.
2) Listen, plain and simple. So many times when the guy comes home from work his ear falls off from the events of “your day”. He probably wants to relax a bit and not hear all about your woes and worries. Sit back and listen to what he has to say for a change. Instead of trying to change the subject all the time, truly listen, and offer “I’m listening responses”, like “I see” or “Hmmm”…
3) There are some guys who don’t want to talk when they get home from work. They want to unwind. Give them that time. Let them relax and compose themselves. They will probably talk your ear off once they get a chance to relax a bit, but give them their space when they first come home.
4) Guys (at least quite a few of them) love a good relaxing massage. Are you gifted in giving a massage? Why not unleash this talent? Start off with the back, and run your fingers through his hair. Give him every opportunity to tell you what he likes and what he doesn’t like. What a great way to unwind and prepare for the evening…
Romantic Activities
Many men are adventurous and energetic and love to try out new things. They love to test their manliness. Here are a few activities that will show that you love that special guy:
1) Get out of that “box” you have placed yourself in and do something that you would not normally do. Is that special guy in your life into football? Here’s an idea. Sit down on the couch next to him and ask him some questions. Here are a few to get you started. What is a quarterback? What is a first down? He will be shocked at first, but since he loves his sport, he will love providing you with the answers you are looking for. What if he’s not into football, but likes baseball or basketball or hockey? Same approach applies. You might want to do a bit of research beforehand to determine what questions to ask.
2) Does that special guy in your life have chores that he needs to do around the house? Surprise him, and do it for him. Let’s take an example. Suppose he needs to take out the trash every week. You could do it for him and tell him that since he is working so hard you decided to help him out. Make sure that he realizes you are helping him out. He might think that you enjoy doing it so much that you have bought yourself yet one more thing to do around the house… 
3) Pillow fight anyone? Most of us have left pillow fights behind with our childhood…back when we used to jump up and down on the bed. Who says we need to leave all the fun behind when we grow up? Here’s a thought. One night, when you are getting ready for bed, hall off and “wallop” him! He’ll be taken by surprise, for sure…but he might get a kick out of it. Be prepared for him to hall off and “wallop” you back. Let the action begin!
Give Him Compliments
We all love to get compliments. We like to hear that others like our clothes, our jewelry, our hair, our “whatever”. Do you know how to compliment a guy? Here are a few ways:
1) Compliment your guy when you are out in public. Say nice things about him. Tell your friends what a special guy he is. Tell them how hard he works and how much he cares. You know, word will eventually get back to him. He will be very happy that all of this finer attributes have been noticed by others.
2) Some guys are really into clothes, and they love to show off their “sense of style”. If that special guy in your life loves clothes, be sure that you notice all his efforts, and doubly make sure that you tell him that you notice. He will appreciate the fact that others, especially you, notice.
3) Is there anything that the man in your life does that you really appreciate? Perhaps a certain chore around the house? Maybe he does the dishes? Maybe he’s good at taking the baby out for a walk? Maybe he makes dinner from time to time? If there is something that he does that you really appreciate, make sure that you let him know.
4) Why not leave little romantic notes in places that he will find them. On the mirror in the bathroom perhaps? Here’s an idea, why not put a note on the steering wheel of his car? He will notice it as he leaves for work. It could say something as simple as “I Love You”. He will be smiling all the way to work.
Buy Him Something

24 Dec 09 The Buddha and The Silence

04 Sep 09 Need Ex Back – Changing What Went Wrong To Get My Ex Back
Want Ex Back – Changing What Went Bad to Get My Ex Back
You are home after a date with yet one more guy. It did not go well. You find yourself exclaiming I desire ex back.
After a break-up, you will move on to folks. But, when you constantly find yourself thinking you want ex back, are there things you can do to rekindle an old relationship?
There are, and in this article, I present you with five methods for when you need ex back.
First, clear your power from folk. Don’t invest time and energy in men who aren’t your ex. For your old relationship to start working again, you have to prepare your mind, body and soul for him. If you are flirting with another guy, dating other men, or even worse, sleeping around, you are not preparing the correct perspective for getting your ex back.
Next, keep your grace. Don’t chase your ex, flooding him with loads of texts, calling him at odd times of day, or stalking him. Also, you need to make him respect you and treat you well. Don’t be a doormat. You’ll only command your ex’s respect and love when you are yourself at your best. Hold your head high. You may raise your odds of getting back along with your ex if you do.
Third, make a listing of the things you appreciate about your ex and spend some time dwelling on them. Often , a bad break up ends with all kinds of accusations. Now you have some respiring room, start to concentrate on his good points. This is a good thing to do when you want ex back.
Next, when you get back together, try changing some of the circumstances. Go to new places and try new things. Take up a new past-time together. Meet new folk. By changing the environment of your relationship, you have a better chance of making it work. Don’t fall into the standard patterns of your relationship. You can even want to tune your relationship down a nick. If you were living together, try having separate places for some time. If you were engaged, try just dating. Don’t try to force your relationship into old patterns.
Finally, make a shared sense of destiny. While fate certainly plays a part in our lives, we are those who write our life script. Map out with your partner where you need to go. When you do this together, you create a mission with a place for both of you.
When you want ex back, you’ve got to work with new eventualities. Follow the recommendation in this article if you would like ex back.
