Goodwill 101: March 2008
http://goodwill-101.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
A Lousy Buddhist's Blog. Sunday, March 23, 2008. In Vipassana meditation centers, we often come across signs which read, “Noble Silence”. We are told that we should avoid talking whenever possible when we are in a retreat. If we talk, we lose mindfulness. However, a meditation instructor and a Dhamma friend of mine interpret the phrase in a different way. According to him, Noble Silence doesn’t mean “shut up”. Instead, it means “no mental chattering”.

A Lousy Buddhist's Blog. Friday, December 21, 2007. I was overwhelmed with anxiety and depression when I heard the dreaded "C" word – my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer.

We still need to have Right Understanding. The understanding of anicca. Monday, December 3, 2007. Some Questions on Metta Meditation. But I always ha...

Goodwill 101: Food Crisis – can Buddhists help?
http://goodwill-101.blogspot.com/2008/04/food-crisis-can-buddhists-help.html
A Lousy Buddhist's Blog. Friday, April 11, 2008. Food Crisis – can Buddhists help? Buddhists who follow Theravada tradition often fast on Uposatha. Days (full moon, new moon, half moon), or when they are having a retreat in monasteries. The world is facing a food shortage problem, as a result of poor harvest and the use of biofuels to replace crude oil. Perhaps Buddhists should fast more often now. Please also read a related post.

A Lousy Buddhist's Blog. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. Several years ago, I had a retreat in Metta Forest Monastery in. It lasted just three days, which was quite short.
