POPSHands Off Mohammed!!! Fear seems to have censored the publishing of a book about Mohammed. As the author of the piece points out: "It is condescending to treat Muslims like excitable children who cannot cope with the probing, mocking treatment we hand out to Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism. It is perfectly consistent to protect Muslims from bigotry while challenging the bigotries and absurdities within their holy texts." Doesn't seem like too much to ask.

POPSThe Ten Oxherding Pictures - From The Manual of Zen Buddhism From The Manual of Zen Buddhism, D.T. Suzuki By Shubun (15th Century) a series of short poems and accompanying woodcuts that are intended to illustrate the stages of a Mahāyāna Buddhist practitioner's progression towards enlightenment, as well as his or her subsequent perfection of wisdom. The pictures first appeared in their present form, as drawn by the Chinese Chán (Zen) master Kuòān Shīyuǎn (廓庵師遠), in the 12th century, and may represent a Zen Buddhist interpretation of the ten stages experienced by a Bodhisattva as outlined in various Mahāyāna sūtras, most particularly the Avataṃsaka Sūtra.

POPSOn CNN 8pm tonight Buddha's Warriors I don't work for CNN. At least not any longer. Once upon a time I did. Even had the pleasure of spying the Ted in his bathrobe as he traversed the film library in search of a cup of coffee. That was in the early '80's. Christiane Amanpour was just starting to report for CNN. And baby look at her now.

The country has enjoyed economic growth since the government's Doi Moi reforms in the 1980's, while the culture is strongly influenced by Buddhism and Confucianism with strong emphasis on the family.

POPSWhy do displays of compassion differ between East and West?
I am trying to understand A bit more: "In many Asian countries, favors invariably create obligations, which is perhaps why people are sometimes disinclined to interfere in the problems of others. You are obliged to take care of your family, your friends, or even your fellow countrymen. But the idea of universal charity is too abstract, and smacks of the kind of unwelcome interference that Western imperialists — and the Christian missionaries who followed them — practiced in the East for too long. The notion of "Asian values," promoted mostly by Singaporean official scribes, was partly a critique of universalist Western claims. Asians, according to this theory, have their own values, which include thrift, deference to authority, the sacrifice of individual to collective interests, and the belief that countries should not stick their noses into others' affairs. Hence, the hesitant response of Southeast Asian governments — and public opinion — to the Burmese disaster." see source
