Nam

Nam Myoh Renge Kyo
Nam Myoh Renge Kyo
I dedicate myself to the endlessly mysterious and vibrating earth
I thingk I can handle that. Let's see for sure. How many religions have you joined? Plans made? Lists started? Only to be dropped like a turd at the first distraction...
According to The Buddha in Your Mirror, there are ten levels of existence:
1) Hell
2) Hunger
3) Animality
4) Anger
5) Humanity
6) Heaven (rapture or temporary happiness)
7) Learning
8) Realization
9) Bodhisattva (compassion)
10) Buddhahood (enlightenment)

Okay, let's get this party started! Whadaya think about LEARNING being higher than HEAVEN?

Just for starters...

Political Cartoons and History

Just saw a good one on History Detectives.
One of their reporters was going after Arthur Szyk, who is credited with helping inspire the West to go against Hitler and Mussolini. Later he died as an American citizen under investigation by the Unamerican Activities Committee.
