Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts Queen Noor, with a committee of volunteers supported by staff and students from Yarmouk University, launched the first Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts in 1981. Since then, the Festival has become an annual cultural landmark in Jordan, attracting hundreds of artists and tens of thousands of visitors every year. The annual Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts is officially opened with the lighting of the torch by Her Majesty Queen Noor at the center of the historic Roman city. The Jerash Festival traces its roots to the reign of Roman Emperor Trajan (A.D. 98 - 117), who, according to an inscription at Jerash (ancient Gerasa), inaugurated an annual contest-festival held in the South Theater, then the most splendid of its kind in the province. The inscription alludes to the contest of the "sacred guild of the ecumenical, victorious, crowned artists in the service of Dionysus and of our Lord." Such festivals had long been a feature of prominent cities across the Greco-Roman world and gave stimulus to the patronage of the arts. The Festival is the first of its kind to have two fully-functioning Roman theaters; the North Theater, which is referred to as an "Odeum" (a recital hall) and the South Theater.

72. Astrology And Tibetan Culture (Part One) - By Shelley Jordan Astrology and Tibetan culture (Part One). Interview with Dr. Pema Dorjee, personalphysician to the Dalai Lama (by Shelley jordan) http://cura.free.fr/xxx/28tibast.html

The Manifesto The 8 Houses Texts and Articles Review ... HOME (EN) Astrology and Tibetan Culture (Part One) (Interview with Dr. Pema Dorjee, personal physician to the Dalai Lama) by Shelley Jordan The 2nd International Congress on Tibetan Medicine In the first week of November 2003, during the so-called and much-publicized planetary Harmonic Convergence , I had the opportunity to attend the 2nd International Congress on Tibetan Medicine, held in Washington DC. Since Tibetan medicine is closely interconnected with astrology, I was eager to travel to Washington in search of information on this enduring wisdom. Gathered together with spiritual leaders from the Tibetan community, among the conference's speakers and attendees were to be found educators, physicians and scholars from some of the world's leading hospitals, and educational and research institutions. Currently, in the West there is a growing interest in Tibetan medicine, which employs an integration of herbal remedies and therapies with Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine and indigenous Tibetan medical practices. Tibetan medical methods are a unique confluence of science, spirituality and astrology, the latter of which is used not only diagnostically and prescriptively, but also for timing the harvesting of the precious plants employed in the therapies. In fact, Men Tsee Khang , the official medical school sanctioned by the Dalai Lama, is called The Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute. I was fortunate in obtaining interviews on the subject of Tibetan astrology for this series of articles with a number of world-famous figures. Dr. Pema Dorjee, whose interview is the subject of this first article, is the personal physician to the Dalai Lama; Professor Thubten Phuntsog of the Beijing Central University of Nationalities, is one of China's leading experts on Tibetan medicine and astrology; Professor Robert Thurman of Columbia University, is considered by many to be one of the world's foremost authorities on Buddhism; and interestingly and spontaneously, I was able to interview Bishop Ignatius Wang of San Francisco, born in Beijing, China, the Catholic Church's first Bishop of Chinese ancestry and of Asian background. The interviews with Phuntsog, Thurman and Bishop Wang will appear in "Astrology and Tibetan Culture: Part Two".

HOME (EN) Astrology and Tibetan Culture (Part Two) (Interviews with Prof. Robert Thurman, Dr. Thubten Puntsok, Bishop Ignatius Wang) by Shelley Jordan In November 2003, I attended the Second International Congress on Tibetan Medicine in Washington DC. I had the fortunate opportunity to interview a number of highly learned men on the topic of astrology. [See CURA, issue 28, 15/12/2003, Astrology and Tibetan Culture Professor Robert Thurman (New York) is one of the world's leading authorities on Buddhism. He is the Director of Tibet House in New York City, and is professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion at Columbia University. Dr. Thubten Puntsok (Beijing), professor of Tibetan culture and history at the University of the Nationalities in Beijing, is one of China's foremost experts on Tibetan astrology and medicine. These two erudite gentleman were key speakers at the conference and graciously agreed to be interviewed and to share some of their perceptions on the topic of astrology and Tibetan culture. Bishop Ignatius Wang (San Francisco), born in Beijing, China, is the first bishop of Chinese ancestry and of Asian background to be appointed in the United States. He was attending a conference of Catholic bishops at the same hotel which hosted the conference on Tibetan medicine. He kindly allowed me to ask him a few questions regarding his views on astrology.

Additional Links Jordan Country Profile Flag of Jordan Background: For most of its history since independence from British administration in 1946, Jordan was ruled by King HUSSEIN (1953-99). A pragmatic ruler, he successfully navigated competing pressures from the major powers (US, USSR, and UK), various Arab states, Israel, and a large internal Palestinian population, through several wars and coup attempts. In 1989 he resumed parliamentary elections and gradually permitted political liberalization; in 1994 a formal peace treaty was signed with Israel. King ABDALLAH II - the eldest son of King HUSSEIN and Princess MUNA - assumed the throne following his father's death in February 1999. Since then, he has consolidated his power and established his domestic priorities, including an aggressive economic reform program. Jordan acceded to the World Trade Organization in January 2000, and signed free trade agreements with the United States in 2000, and with the European Free Trade Association in 2001.
