...customs and habits. But Tibetan masters had very sharp minds when it came to the preservation and propagation of Buddhism. They were always creating new commentaries and books to clarify the essence of the religion. As a refugee community, we have been able to continue our Tibetan study. The purer form of Tibetan culture and Buddhist teachings is now available only outside Tibet...
Evangelicals constitute about 40% of Americans, and the same number believe God speaks to them directly. Such a belief yearns for a purer and more primitive church than anyone is likely to see, and something in Graham retains the nostalgia for that purity. In old age and in poor health, he is anything but a triumphalist. There is no replacement for him, though he has hopes for his son Franklin.

Thanks, trio, for an angelic encounter...
There are as many different styles of yoga as there are teachers. In its purer forms, however, yoga (which means union in Sanskrit) is a kind of physical meditation, aimed at attaining enlightenment through mastery of the body. This is achieved by regulating the flow of breath while bending, twisting and stretching into postures, called asanas. The combination of mental concentration and physical exertion creates what enthusiasts describe as a blissful sense of oneness between mind and body, self and world...
