HERE WAS THE PROBLEM: How were women to be allowed to reach the Sukhavati paradise, the pure land of bliss in the Jodo sect—enlightenment, in other words—when it was forbidden for them to enter Buddhism’s most sacred sites? Leave it to the Japanese to come up with a solution in a visually stunning ceremony whose [...]

Twin filmmakers Oxide and Danny Pang, who delivered the creepy 2002 hit film THE EYE, forfeit the director's chair for writing and producing with THE OMEN, though their touch is still very much in evidence. Director Tamaraks Kamutamanoch executes their vision with striking results, with popular Thai trio D2B heading up the cast. Dan, Beam, and Big are young men just discovering the rote realities...

So I'm reading a book called "The Compassionate Mind". It really is a bit hippyish and lacks practical applications for me, but it's still an interesting read. Sorta got a "let's modify Buddhism with the scientific method" vibe going on, which still feels odd, 100 pages in.

Among the most provocative findings have come from Robert Barro, a renowned economist at Harvard, and his wife, Rachel McCleary, a researcher at Harvard’s Taubman Center. McCleary, the daughter of a Methodist missionary, felt that [...]

I first met artist, Kanransai at Toji Temple in Kyoto last year. His paintings and artwork are mostly of Jizo-son and Kannon, as well as enlightened figures in Buddhism. If I am not mistaken, Jizo-son watches over children and the living and Kannon represents peace. While at Toji Temple, we looked at his exhibit, some of his paintings were powerful and some were very calming. I bought a calendar of...

There is a Buddhist chant which, translated into English, goes: "It is my nature to age, I have not gone beyond aging; It is my nature to sicken, I have not gone beyond sickness; It is my nature to die, I have not gone beyond dying.” Though I had been faced with life-threatening illness at age 27, I don't believe that even then, I could conceive of my own death. I remember vividly the moment...

In Buddhism, we distinguish between spiritual experiences and spiritual realizations. Spiritual experiences are usually more vivid and intense than realizations because they are generally accompanied by physiological and psychological changes. Realizations, on the other hand, may be felt, but the experience is less pronounced. Realization is about acquiring insight. Therefore, while realizations arise...
