Hereafter - Life after
After several months of stay Thailand, I wondered how it is to go with the blog here on. Last year I had the desire to address not only various Buddhist topics and the misguided criticism of monks - accelerate, but also a few snippets - especially the Vietnamese Buddhism and translations to be made available. That was enough for a contribution per day. With this regularity, I can not go this year. Instead, I would like to meditate more on the basis of Buddhist concepts of life and for use initially and observations from my trip. In between there will be entries in the manner of last year, and of course, remains critical to the Buddhist scene in mind. At the moment I translate Dogen

The song is actually designed to be channel surfing with the coming long in an advertisement for horizontal business feels like to sing along to, so catchy this is just hard to open up this irony, but also include barmaids with providers of monks. I met a lady who was banned after a minor motorcycle accident and a violent quarrel in her family (her brother her to enter his house because she was working at the bar, even though he his wife, so her sister, met at the bar) had it said to only have bad luck and therefore to the following morning once in the temple need to "tambun" to make, so donations to be there.
