I remember the old joke from the 1980’s about East Germany. President Honecker went on an overseas trip. He returned back to East Berlin. Noone was at the airport. Nobody on the streets. Everywhere was in darkness. He drove around until he saw a single light. There was a hole in the Berlin wall with a message. “Dear Mr. President. We have all left for West Germany. You are the last one left. Turn the light out.” …

The sun beats down on Jerusalem. In nearby al Walaja, it beats down harder.

Political / /

The sun beats down on Jerusalem. In what remains of the Palestinian village of al Walaja, four kilometres north west of the city, the sun beats down even harder.  The citizens of the village have to endure the frequent threats to themselves, their homes and their olives groves/fruit trees in the burning desire of the municipality of Jerusalem to evict them.

Forgive me. I don’t believe in God. Here are 12 reasons.

 1.              GOD THE CREATOR. A piece of graffiti on a wall in London read: “God hasn’t forgotten the world. But He’s now working on less ambitious projects.”  Cool. If God created the world, then all responsibility for the state and the fate of the world rests with God. If this God takes some responsibility for the state of the Earth, then we need to know what His responsibility is. We also need to know our responsibility. Can God increase his level of responsibility and decrease our level of responsibility or vice versa. How will we find out if there is a change in levels of responsibility or if it always remains the same.  If His creation started in a particular way, then is God helpless to change it? If there is God, then perhaps humanity has to practice to forgive God for what He created and what He permits to happen in His creation. …

Do our Dharma retreats in India differ from the West? Oh Yes!

Dharma Reflections / /

I first arrived in India in 1967 six or seven months after travelling overland from that wet and windy island off the west coast of mainland Europe. This February, 2014, it will be 40 years of teaching in India. We have moved our silent retreat from the Royal Thai Monastery in Bodh Gaya to the Thai Monastery, Sarnath, near Varanasi. …
