Rob Nairn Buddhism, one of the major world religions, began with the teachings of the Buddha - the 'Awakened One' - in northern India some two-and-a-half millennia ago. It is a religious tradition rooted in principles of non-violence and loving kindness, and a spiritual pathway applicable in any culture or era. The vast canon of Buddhist spiritual teachings contain detailed and, above all, practical instructions by which anyone, with effort, can develop the strength and energy to deal with the sufferings of everyday existence; the compassion to be of help to fellow beings; and the wisdom to see the transcendent in the mundane. Buddhist spiritual practice is based around ethics as a means of attaining personal and social responsibility; study and contemplation as a means of developing a true understanding of the nature of reality; and meditation as a means of stabilising the mind and testing and refining that understanding.

But the very best thing we as individuals can do is live our own lives in peace. Understand and forgive those who we feel wrong us. Manage our own anger. As we each live more peacefully, the world will become more peaceful. Concentrate thought energies on peace. The more peace energy there is the more possibility there is to sustain peace. May 2004 be a year of peace within each of us. Peace is not achieved through pointing fingers and blaming those in power. That only adds to the negativity and anger that leads to war. Calling leaders warmongers becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Each of us needs to be responsible in our thought energies. Think peace. Be peace.

Basics of Buddhism There are 327 million Buddhists worldwide (313,114,000 in Asia) here in Hawaii the major Japanese, Korean population are Some type of Buddhist. There are numerous offshoots but their are two major branches. For us to understand and use the gospel to penetrate this religion we need to know what they teach about the Buddha and use the stories as possibly bridges to reach them. In my opinion of all religions this is one of the hardest to reach and understand, since Buddhism can be cultural, it is a lifestyle of many generations as well as a spiritual practice. For centuries, Buddhism has been the dominant religion of the Eastern world and still remains the predominant religion in China, Japan, Korea, as well as southeast Asia.

The upanishadic view was ultimately negative and was further complicated by the now fully developed belief that there was an endless cycle of existence ( Samsara ), "of rebirth, redeath and rebirth" (Wolpert, p. 47). "Desire, deeds, ‘action' (Karma) of any sort came now to be considered hindrances, snares, delusory traps in the soul’s search for moksha . The Law of Karma emerges linked to the concept of Samsara as a distinguishing axiom of India civilization" (ibid.). The law posited that every action, good and evil, had repercussions or consequences of like kind at some future date. According to Horner: Good Karma and bad Karma which are at once the result of previous deeds and the causes of new effects; work independently of each other and are not to be balanced the one against the other in any kind of scales" (I.B.

The Gateless Passage / First Word / The Gateless Passage is the Buddhist eJournal / home page published by myself, Charles Patton (Shih Famen). I originally created it in 1998 simply to share my own independent research and translations from the Chinese Buddhist Canon. In those days, I was very much a novice who was just cutting his teeth. Many of my translations from those days are still available here, in the Translations department listed below. It has gone through alot of iterations, usually far too ambitious in nature. However, these days, the Gateless Passage is the central hub for my Buddhist writing activities. The translation projects have been spun off to become the Dharma Pearls Monthly (which will begin publication in July 2005). And much of the Buddhist background writing I'd always intended to do is getting another attempt at SeedWiki in the form of DharmaBase , which is also project just getting off the ground. (If anyone is familiar with Wiki development and knows the basics of Buddhism well enough, and wouldn't mind helping out with a Buddhist Wiki, do email me!) So what remains for the Gateless Passage ? It is the place I put stuff that is free to everyone. It will continue to host my Dharma-related articles and essay, as well as translations. New translations coming out of

Rusty Wright Articles Probe Navigation Home Faith and Culture Culture Decoding the Da Vinci Code Decoding the Da Vinci Code PDF E-mail Written by Michael Gleghorn This article is also available in Spanish Introduction to The Da Vinci Code Dan Brown's wildly successful novel, The Da Vinci Code , has generated a huge amount of interest from the reading public. To date, the book has sold about five million copies. Ron Howard has apparently agreed to direct the story for Sony Pictures Entertainment, possibly bringing it to the big screen in 2005. But why all the fuss? And why has Brown's novel caused such a stir? The story begins with the murder of the Louvre's curator in the museum. But this curator isn't just interested in art; he's also the Grand Master of a secret society known as the Priory of Sion. The Priory guards an ancient secret that, if revealed, would undermine the authority of the church and completely discredit biblical Christianity. Before dying, the curator attempts to pass on the secret to his granddaughter Sophie, a cryptographer, and Harvard professor Robert Langdon, by leaving a number of clues that he hopes will guide them to the truth. So what's the secret, you ask? The location, and true identity, of the much-sought-after Holy Grail. But in Brown's novel, the Grail is not the cup allegedly used by Christ at the Last Supper. Rather, it's the person of Mary Magdalene, the wife of Jesus, who carried on the royal bloodline of Christ by giving birth to His child! The Priory of Sion carefully guards the secret location of Mary's tomb and serves to protect the bloodline of Jesus that has continued to this day!
