...Since January 2004, more than 1,700 people have been killed in an increasingly deadly conflict in Thailand's south, which comprises three provinces where the populations are predominantly Malay and Muslim, not Thai and Buddhist. Most victims of the attacks?bombings, drive-by shootings, beheadings?are somehow tied to officialdom: soldiers, policemen, local politicians and teachers in government schools. But Muslims with links to the military have also been targeted. Enhanced security measures have failed to halt the violence, and the 20,000 troops now in the area are struggling just to protect themselves. It isn't clear...

...obsolete, and that is because of this real and cyber global community that we are in now. Isolation of cultures, which was the glue, is vanishing. We need to have a faith, a type of belief that makes sense to everyone in the room who hears it. In the Buddhist philosophy, it is all boats to get us to the shore.

...billion engineering marvel connecting the remote Tibetan capital to the rest of China; in Lhasa. While the Chinese government has hailed the rail link as an important step in developing Tibet's economy, critics say it threatens the country's delicate environment and will erode Buddhist culture by increasing an influx of ethnic Chinese immigrants. Reaching an altitude of 5,000 meters, the railway is the world's highest; tickets for its inaugural July 1 journey sold out within 20 minutes of going on sale last Thursday...
