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.

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. In Japan alone there are approximately 200 sects. This makes it

The sixth stripe (?) consists of 5 horizontal stripes of the same color starting from the top. The right hand vertical orange stripe merges with the bottom horizontal orange stripe. This is the flag depicted on the FLAG CHART published by Shipmate and authenticated by the Flag Research Center. William Grimes-Wyatt 22 January 1996 Meaning of the Flag The Buddhist flag, first hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka, is a symbol of faith and peace used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith. The six colours of the flag represent the colours of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when He attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The horizontal stripes represent the races of the world living in harmony and the vertical stripes represent eternal world peace. The colours symbolise the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma. The Blue light that radiated from the Buddha's hair symbolises the spirit of Universal Compassion for all beings.

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!
